Sold all of my 360 and Xbox One gen games over the past few years. Still hold all my Nintendo games though back to the GB colour gen…Xbox games don’t hold that same sentiment as Ninty ones do.

@CharlieChooChoo respect for the dark tower pic, loved that Charlie story arc.

Looking forward to the updates and story extras. 70+ hours in and at a comfortable stage where I can play other things atm. Shame they aren't at the direct this week as itching for shattered space news.

This game needs to be a big tentpole game in a way and feels like spider-man comparisons will be made. Hope there will be extensive gameplay reveals and all the fanfare that goes with it - if not, back in the oven for me.

One of my favourites, not enjoyed a title as much since Fallout 4. Can’t wait for the rumoured 10 years of support/content.

Dev direct for me. Here’s the game, this is when it’s expected this year. I don’t need 2025 hype.

Please not f2p model...give us some quality

Traditional consoles will most likely have a home in the short term but they can’t be the only metric anymore. Look at the rise of PC handhelds over the past year - I even have to wait in line for xcloud. Maybe another OEM will make a peice of tech for a traditional TV going forward instead of Xbox producing it.

Maybe MSFT will become a standalone publisher and if I have to find another device to plug in to a TV for GamePass then so be it.

Wow, Gaiden on GP day 1. Really happy about this one. Hopefully, they will drop new ones each year like EA play.

Foolishly told my wife about this (as she played one of the others on the wii)…I have now lost my console for the foreseeable future 😬

@UltimateOtaku91 This was how Back4Blood’s campaign worked. I had run many missions with players only to realise when finished that I had actually made no progress and had to run my own lobby. Wasn’t happy.

@ChopperCampbell Yeah can’t believe I didn’t play it while it was on Game Pass so looking forward to diving in on it 👌

Tempted at picking up control using MS reward points. I got Quantum Break for a fiver during the is it/is is it not leaving Game Pass issue...enjoyed it and wanted to see more Remedy.

It was what was asked for. Gameplay, numbered dates (bar Forza) and very little fluff. We know what first-party games are coming between now and June.

I expect a follow-up event for games released June-November in June/July time.

MLB The Show 22

Gutted it’s lacking achievement support.

Edit: Seems like it only makes a difference when going platform to platform. If you continue from XSX, it should be okay.

Yep! Still rocking it now. how else am I going to fast reply those insulting chat messages!

If the whole Goldeneye, Gears Collection, maybe something Activision hadn’t been hyped as much, I would have been more pleased…the hype let me down waiting for these.

Delighted to see these in the office the other day. Funny to see an older colleague eating the horizon ‘F’ though. Like a weird dream.

I'm sure this is good news for some out there. With the backlog on GamePass, I'd only be interested in Vahalla tbh. Much rather we had EA Play for those sports games and thankfully we do.

@BAMozzy again though, and I don’t want to keep this going - you clearly know your stuff but most people aren’t going to re-connect this and that and troubleshoot problems. They may have loads of other devices going and pushing connections through walls…if the setup isn’t great and doesnt work almost flawlessly - even with the weakest of connections - people like me won’t approve it!

@BAMozzy Games I play are slow and laggy and that doesn’t even mention input lag from controllers. I live the UK and I’m finding the xcloud thing a subpar experience. I dread to think what countries with lesser, experience.

I’ve no doubt that this may become good in the future but the experience so far is meh.

That's all well and good but simply, the connection strength to run these games, even in the western world, ain't that great.

Surely a bigger (visible) push for better connection quality worldwide would make cloud gaming a much more enticing offer for many.

'fun side quests' or more fetch quests? Lost my horny for the series after Odyssey's endless fetch missions. Would love to be given a reason to play again but worried it's all so bland.

Shame this didn't hit Sept/October last year. Now we have two baseball games to play in the space of a few months and no season (atm) to look forward to. Does look fun though.

That’s excellent news…was worried they were just teasing us with ‘21. Happy man here.

Would love to get this and I’m glad we’ve got something from Ubi that is new and reviewed well. Shame it’s valued at £60 to which I just can’t justify any game at that price nowadays.

I think it's been great value this year vs buying games individually. Madden 21, MLB the show, Psychonauts 2, Back 4 Blood, Knockout City have been perfectly good enough to justify the 11ppm for me.

A return to school and work has probably been the reason for slow growth as I don't think we had as good a set of games in 2020 as we had this year.

I would love to play more games on mobile or via iPad etc but the infrastructure just isn't on the level yet across the board.

Not another event, how many of these do we need over the year? Xbox has a problem of talking way to much about this and that, getting fans hyped about something or nothing much, usually.

Whatever is on GamePass is always going to be a priority of my interests. As mentioned, with that being Halo this year - I'd say neither.

Train Sim World 2! I knew they wouldn’t disappoint after taking 2020 version away!

Am playing through this right now and I think it’s okay. Agree on poor cutscenes but plays well which is the main thing.

Why do they think we need another effin shooter. These guys have got to be dead behind the eyes. Literally asking for a new splinter cell - that’s it - hard work done for them but no, another F2P shooter. It drives me mad!

I laughed a lot at this. Can’t wait to play it!

Played the demo last year during the summer game fest, was a laugh, glad to see it on XGP.

I think xcloud for iOS will come out of beta for public release around then…unless they’ve stated otherwise elsewhere.

I've really enjoyed it so far. You just hope that it builds some traction in terms of player numbers..

Great news. Loved the game and the way to creator interacts with fans on discord. Bring it on.

Can take it or leave it, personally. I would love some more insomniac titles on Xbox. I also feel if TLOU was release on Xbox it wouldn’t get half the acclaim it’s got on PS, for some reason.

Phil flirting with ubi to get us some sweet AC games on Game Pass.

Track recording is a bit shaky...Zune, Mixer etc so not confident about how well this will go...

Hoping for some <£30 deals for Valhalla, Legion and Cyberpunk but the thought of them dropped on GP makes me hesitant to make the purchase...

GamePass alone spoils me rotten each month and as long as they keep feeding the beast, as a gamer, I’m happy.

I wouldn’t be surprised. Seems a common thing recently. Xbox discount/deep discounts and then onto GamePass.

Excellent. Still playing Franchise on ‘20 and was starting to wonder if they’d drop ‘21 any time soon. I love you, game pass.

Literally nearly dropped those $$$$ on Dirt 5 yesterday. Decided not to...few!

I'm hoping that EA with all their multiplayer clout will really improve F1 games' multiplayer lobbies for starters. Optimistic.

a joint drop with Halo Infinite and Ubisoft play or whatever it is. An extra dollar per month.

Enjoyed cricket 19 and I hope they build on it. Would love a sustained effort into Rugby.

Devs/publishers really need to rain it in when teasing games...I get you to need to hype these things up but come on, this game was announced 6 months ago and they've only just hired a chief designer. This will be a fair few years away at the least.
