Re: Outriders Devs Yet To Earn Royalties, Despite Huge Xbox Game Pass Launch

If it's anything like the movie business, you never never take a contract based on profit because they take the actual profits to write off losses for other movies, so good lawyers/agents know to go off box office for a lesser percentage because you'll actually make more. Don't get me wrong, they shouldn't have to do that, you should be able to trust people to not be shady, but unfortunately, that's how it goes. Hopefully, they can figure it out, they're a talented group.

Re: Xbox Game Pass's Boyfriend Dungeon Is Proving To Be Controversial For Some Players

@lokozar I mean, people are saying there should be some broad strokes warnings, but go off on saying "every eventuality". Stalking and emotional manipulation aren't some niche things.

Websites all over exist to help people with such decisions, so what is wrong with making it more easily discoverable and from the creator themselves. They responded and are dealing with it. For someone who claims to not care about offending people boy howdy are you big mad and offended about people who do. Maybe ask yourself why.

Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite OG Xbox Title On Game Pass?

Darthroseman

I know it's only five games, but you can't go wrong with any of these games. There's some 360 remasters of OG Xbox games in Game Pass too, like Fable. Surprised Conker isn't on Game Pass, but it was on Games with Gold.

Some absolute gems you can play with backwards compatibility in general, one of my favorite features as an old person with a decent Xbox game collection.

Re: Xbox Series X Blu-Ray Black Colour Issue Fixed In January Update

@Nightcrawler71 For me, it's about personal tastes, but if you want something that's more of a show-stopper, Coco from Disney-Pixar is very colorful with a lot of contrast. I've found a lot of animated movies in general look very good. And there's your classic action movies, Terminator 2 looks great, Fifth Element is a lot of fun. Recently watched Hook and it's cool seeing all the detail in the costumes and such. Overall, I suggest getting something you already know you enjoy and if you have money to get something new, take a stab at something.
Physical media still dominates when it comes to quality, as streaming needs to compress things to not have to buffer all the time and whatnot.

The same can be said for digital music but that's an entirely different rant I can go on.

Re: MLB The Show Could Finally Be Announced For Xbox Next Month

Darthroseman

@BeautyandtheBeer So, it wasn't exclusivity paid by Sony, it's just a first party Sony studio and no one else was making MLB games. 2K used to and even had exclusive rights for 3rd party MLB games, but stopped making them because they weren't making money off them. (Because they weren't very good, imo) The last year they made it, it was quite literally a menu and roster update.

Re: Talking Point: What Type Of Star Wars Games Do You Want On Xbox Series X?

@Kefka2589 @xMightyMatt14x The Old Republic (I know, it's an MMO) has multiple extensive campaigns that are directly tied into KOTOR and you can play basically solo. But you can only play it on PC, which stinks. It's worth at least looking into all of it to see if you're interested. Those who are into it would tell you it's like, KOTOR3 through 10, but YMMV
