Not sure what score it would get as the game isn't out yet and I know nothing about gameplay. But it's highly unlikely it'd be game of the year. Tho if it does, then good for them.
It's not my type of game, so I will definitely not buy this game. Tho I did buy the first game because I enjoyed heavenly sword on the PS3. And thought it might be similar.
I don't really like exclusives, so I think it's fine. But I don't think they should do it for big single player games. They should do it for online games tho, so the players have more people to play with.
I'm not a fan of any xbox 1st party games, so I don't really care.
@Vipor007 ooh. I hope they let you stream and upload videos, direct to YouTube from the xbox. 1 of the reasons I was disappointed in xbox was coz I couldn't that.
@FatGuyInLilCoat You still have to wait 2 months to find out. I like to know what games they'd have coming out too. If it's a company telling you what to expect, it's fine. But if it's rumours, you're still unsure what to expect.
Why do people talk about a showcase that's a couple months away? I'm different. I only want to know about the games coming soon or out now, not what games will be showcased in a couple months.
I like to know more about this game and see if it's something I'd be interested in buying. I'll obviously watch the showcase when it's time, but no reason to know what they're going to show, if I have to wait 2 months to find out.
So if it's at 1080p or 2k, is it still locked at 30fps? Would prefer if a game gave you the option to choose quality or performance. I would want both tho.
I'd prefer longer hours for games I really like, but I also want short games so I can play more than one game. But no less than 30 hours.
8 Hours is way too short for me, but I'd never play a game like hellblade 2. Tho I did buy the first game when it first came out. Was stuck on a dark maze and never touched it again.
It's kinda cool seeing that a voice actor started their own gaming studio. And not only that, made a game where he's the director and voice actor too. I hope it sells well. I won't be buying it tho, as I'm not really into 2D games.
I thought they all shut down. They should make an all gaming magazine tho instead of a specific platform magazine. A magazine for all gamers to enjoy, maybe. PC, Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox combined along with mobile too coz some people play on phones.
Can't be any worse than it is already. Microsoft support is terrible. When I needed support, I was just talking to bots that couldn't solve my issue. Can't see how having AI chatbot would solve the issue. I need human assistance.
@Mince if it's a lot cheaper than the disc version, then it would be worth it if it's your first current gen xbox. But better if you could attach the disc drive, like the PS5 does it.
@abe_hikura I have doubts a xbox handheld would be able to play all of xbox library. If it's going to be cheap, under $400. It's going to have to sacrifice a lot of the quality for it to perform well. Handhelds aren't really powerful, and if it was powerful enough to play series xs games, then batteries may not last more than 20 minutes. Like when the rog ally came out, people complained about the battery.
@AverageGamer oh ok. But no point getting a steam deck if you're not going to make an account, if you're in regions it sells it. Coz you would probably need an account to use it.
@NEStalgia ok yeah I understand. I won't buy anything at £70. If it's 60, I'll think about it, maybe get it on sale. Depends on the game, I'm very picky.
I've switched to PC now, so all my games are digital now.
@mousieone well there's no proof. Unless the publishers come out and say it themselves. Tho I've noticed game sales are really low on xbox compared to others.
Since there are already handheld PCs out there, I don't think a handheld xbox will sell that well. I'd rather get handheld PC that can play both PC and xbox games.
Would have to ask, Why would it make it a great acquisition? What other games have they made? What other games can they make? Palworld might be popular, but you shouldn't buy a studio just because of how popular 1 game is. And just because 1 game is popular, doesn't mean it's good. I've not really checked out this game, but I know I won't like it.
That's actually a decent price. But does it feel nice? I got a razer kishi and the buttons feel terrible.
And is there a PlayStation version? I just like the ◯ ╳ ▢ △ better
Great game. I also enjoyed the 2nd one. I thought the 2nd one would be crap, but when I played it, it was awesome. Better than the first imo. So I'm hoping for a ni no kuni iii. Or more games like this.
@Rodimusprime13 do you mean external USB storage? Coz I have a external USB storage on my PS4, it's usually connected to the back, but it works perfectly fine on the 2 at the front too.

Re: Xbox Game Pass Seems To Be Preparing For The Next Activision Blizzard Drop
@PhileasFragg yeah but I meant why wasn't it done straight away after acquisition. What did they had to do to take this long to put it on their store?
Re: Xbox Game Pass Seems To Be Preparing For The Next Activision Blizzard Drop
How hard is it to put PC games in the PC xbox store? Do they need to do something before they can put it there?
Re: Saber Interactive CEO Reckons $70 Game Prices Will Go Away
Yeah if games were cheap or reasonably priced, I'd be buying a lot more games. Instead, I wait for a game to on sale these days.

Re: Hellblade 1's Director Is No Longer Part Of Ninja Theory, Confirms Xbox
Where is he now, retired or working somewhere else?

What happened with sands of time, did they have to start over? Coz I thought it was supposed to release 2 years ago.

Re: Xbox & PlayStation's Most-Played Games In 2023 Were Averaging Seven Years Old

Re: Which Activision Blizzard Game Do You Want Next On Xbox Game Pass?
None of these on the list seem appealing to me. What else is there?

Re: All New Xbox Games Coming Out In April 2024
There's a lot on this list that I know nothing about. Guess I'll look them up one by one.
Re: Xbox Honors Akira Toriyama With Free 'Blue Dragon' Dynamic Background
I hope they remaster the game as I've never played it and I no longer have an xbox. Would like to play on PC.
Re: Leaked Images Reveal 'First Look' At White, All-Digital Xbox Series X
@Mince if it's a lot cheaper than the disc version, then it would be worth it if it's your first current gen xbox. But better if you could attach the disc drive, like the PS5 does it.
Re: Leaked Images Reveal 'First Look' At White, All-Digital Xbox Series X
@Jenkinss that doesn't take up space. 1tb, 2tb or 4tb cards are all the same size . Plus it's very tiny.
Re: Leaked Images Reveal 'First Look' At White, All-Digital Xbox Series X
If it's discless, why is it still the same size?
Re: Gearbox Entertainment Acquired By 2K As Team Confirms 'Borderlands 4'
I read that embracer still kept the publishing arm. But can't believe they bought them for more than a billion and sold them for less than half that.
Re: Xbox's New Microsoft Rewards Quest Gives You 1000+ Points Per-Month
I just get 5-20 points a day from opening the xbox app on my phone. And sometimes another 20 if I'm playing a game on steam.
Re: Phil Spencer On Porting Exclusives: 'Every Decision We Make Is To Make Xbox Stronger'

Re: Major Game Maker Reportedly Questioning Xbox Support Amidst 'Falling Sales'
@NEStalgia ok yeah I understand. I won't buy anything at £70. If it's 60, I'll think about it, maybe get it on sale. Depends on the game, I'm very picky.
I've switched to PC now, so all my games are digital now.

Re: Major Game Maker Reportedly Questioning Xbox Support Amidst 'Falling Sales'
@NEStalgia but I've also heard them say it looks good. So why wait for it come to gamepass and not a sale, instead?
Yeah I've used gamepass to try games to see if I like it or not, n if I like it, I'd buy it. I no longer have gamepass now, though.
Re: Major Game Maker Reportedly Questioning Xbox Support Amidst 'Falling Sales'
Since they didn't confirm who said those, they could be making it all up.
Re: Major Game Maker Reportedly Questioning Xbox Support Amidst 'Falling Sales'
The thing I noticed about xbox fans is that they often say "I'll wait for it to come to gamepass".
Buy the damn game if you like it lol.
Re: Xbox Boss On Handheld Rumours: Hardware Team Considering Different 'Form Factors'
@AverageGamer can get steam app on the phone too and buy from there or on their website. So not only accessible through a PC.
Re: Rumour: Resident Evil 9 Could Go Open World Thanks To Dragon's Dogma 2
I'm just interested in monster hunter. But if they have ridiculous micro transactions too, then I'll probably avoid it.

Re: Toys For Bob Has Reportedly 'Reached An Agreement' With Xbox On Its New Game

Re: Multiple Games Are Reduced By 90% On Xbox This Week (March 19-26)
I don't think it's ridiculous when I think that's what it's worth. But I still won't buy it:)
Won't buy any of the games on the list.

Re: Palworld Dev 'Open' To Acquisition Offers, But Hasn't Talked To Xbox
Would have to ask,
Why would it make it a great acquisition?
What other games have they made?
What other games can they make?
Palworld might be popular, but you shouldn't buy a studio just because of how popular 1 game is. And just because 1 game is popular, doesn't mean it's good. I've not really checked out this game, but I know I won't like it.
Re: GameSir's New Xbox Cloud Gaming Controller Sounds Like One Of The Best Yet
That's actually a decent price. But does it feel nice? I got a razer kishi and the buttons feel terrible.

Re: Ni No Kuni Remaster Removed From Xbox Game Pass Leavers List
Great game. I also enjoyed the 2nd one. I thought the 2nd one would be crap, but when I played it, it was awesome. Better than the first imo. So I'm hoping for a ni no kuni iii. Or more games like this.
Re: Talking Point: In Your Opinion, What Made The Xbox 360 Era So Incredible?
@Rodimusprime13 do you mean external USB storage? Coz I have a external USB storage on my PS4, it's usually connected to the back, but it works perfectly fine on the 2 at the front too.
