Re: Here's A Look At The Updated Xbox Studios Roadmap For 2025 & Beyond

@Fiendish-Beaver I just don't buy it! I picked up a PS5 4 months ago after being xbox since xbox one, and having well over 100 digital games. PS5 had loads of great games I couldn't get anywhere else, so I got a PS5 to play them. Once there were over 20 PS exclusives I wanted to play, it was a no-brainer. Same reason I got a Switch to play Mario and Zelda (and to bowl!!).
Just having a couple of exclusive games won't tempt anybody from PS5 to Xbox, so just gears and Forza won't do it... but 10 games? 15 games? That's what it would need. And they finally had all the studios to make a go of it... But that opportunity is now lost. Too many mistakes in the past, not enough consoles sold, hence multi-platform.

Re: Phil Spencer Says Xbox Is Done Trying To Convince PS5 & Switch Players To Move Over

I have an xbox with 100 digital games in my library. But picked up a PS5 recently as there are so many exclusive games there that I want to play, and I need a PS5 to play them. I don't think I'm alone in doing this, seeing countless reddit threads of xbox owners doing the same.

I just don't buy the argument that people wouldn't buy an xbox if it had a load of great games only playable there, because they already have lots of games on their switch or PS5. I just don't think that's true.

They threw in the towel without really trying at all.

Re: Soapbox: I Hope Xbox Properly Supports Switch 2 When It Launches In 2025

Had fun with my Switch, and will get a Switch 2 once there is a 3D Mario on there, but pointless for anything other than Indies and Nintendo games, as it is so underpowered. Fingers crossed they do something to make Switch games (especially BOTW) run better, but no chance you won't have to pay, this being Nintendo.

PS5 and XSX for everything else!

Re: Starfield Update 1.14.74 Revealed, Here Are The Full Xbox Patch Notes

I loved playing through the Starfield campaign in 2023, and enjoyed Shattered Space (some great side quests too), but this is everything I hate about modern gaming... 14 months after release and they're still fixing the game.

Also, how have they still not fixed the bug that means Stache only gives you Laredo firearms if you've progressed the Rangers quest line? How hard can it be to fix???

Also..."The Annihilator Particle Beam damage-over-time effect no longer triggers companion reactions." this still hasn't fixed for me, and Andreja going mental at me for this is one of the reasons I've given up on this game...
