@graysoncharles There is a reason why gamers buy consoles. It's price. If you want the next console to be $600 dollars, be prepared to either have the next one be more expensive, or the competition is gonna crush you and that's a faster way for you to lose money and quit the market.
Same as what happened with Phones. We went from $500-600 to $900+ because people thought it was fine.
@PretendWorking Of course it'll cost you a lot, but these companies strike deals with manufacturers to get low prices on the components. When you build your own PC, you're at the mercy of online merchants who fluctuate prices as they like.
@Jacko11 I have given Microsoft the benefit of the doubt for many years since the abominable Xbox One launch, but it seems that they haven't learned a thing. That Halo Infinite reveal was the most basic game ever seen, ***** the demo for Outriders looked more next gen than freaking Halo.
And about game pass, it is substantial value for money on Console, but on PC it's hell. The Windows Store is an abomination, the Xbox App is an atrocious, laggy piece of *****, and some of the third-party games don't even work properly. I dare you to be able to play Phantasy Star Online 2, it won't even launch. I got Halo MCC through Game Pass on PC and every time there's an update, the download would just break and I ger an error message telling me to delete and reinstall.
Microsoft is jack of all trades, master of NONE. I'm only glad they're in the industry to keep a certain competitor in check, that's all.
@Tharsman that's what rumors are saying. And Micro's idea of a game as a live service for Halo Infinite sure does back this up. We'll have to wait and see.
@Dezzy70 I am going to play it, but man the graphics are so weird. They're touting it most powerful console and yet still the number 1 game looks like this gen. I seriously see no sign of any groundbreaking thing about it. Everything looked just okay, the gameplay was awesome. Plus why does Microsoft show off their games on PC?! Where's the velocity architecture and the SSD. If it were on Series X, I guess we wouldn't have seen so much texture pop-in.
@Dezzy70 I liked Microsoft up until Phil Spencer talked about generational exclusives. They're tooting that Series X is the most powerful console just like they did X1X and look at the difference between PS4 games and Xbox Games. Microsoft doesn't need a powerful console, they need competent devs that know how to push limits. They even ruined Gears. Now, it's just a shell of a game infested with Microtransactions.
This is awesome. I enjoyed Steam Summer event. I got to try some amazing games and chat with the devs. I guess E3 cancelation worked better for us gamers.
On PC too? huh. So, it will also release on Windows Store! I had on Bethesda Launcher and got it for free on Steam, and I still can't stand it. Good luck everyone.

Re: Did This Monster Energy Halo Infinite Promo Just Reveal The Price Of The Xbox Series X?
@DarthAmmii but you're not forced to change phones every year. Plus, if the price is $600 add to that games at $70 dollars each. It's expensive.
If any of the two release the console at $600, it's going to be their demise.
Re: PS4 Game Horizon Zero Dawn Has Native Xbox Controller Support On PC
That's awesome, I wish the game supported simultaneous gamepad/MK input to use Steam Controller.
Enjoying the game again and this time I get to play Frozen Wilds. But man, the performance is agonizing. Guerilla Games are working on it, thankfully.
Re: The Standard Version Of Control Won't Get A Free Next-Gen Upgrade
I was excited for this to release on Steam, but upon reading this news, I decided not to get it. They can shove it; I won't support such greed.
Re: Microsoft Reveals The Xbox Series X Will Launch In November
The whole generation ***** Spencer was talking has shown its dangers. Good luck on the launch.
Re: Halo Infinite Has Been Delayed Until 2021
I knew it was gonna get delayed, the writing was all over it. It never launched with the system except for Halo 1.
Re: Grounded's First Patch Is Out Now, Here's What's Included
I hope they fixed the crashes on PC. Enjoying the game very much.
Re: Pre-Orders Appear To Surface For The Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster
I love Mass Effect, but if they release it on Steam and require Origin to be installed, they can shove it.
Re: Video: Here's A Look At The New Xbox Store's Lightning Fast Navigation
I like the clicking sound, but the weird navigation one needs to change. Looks nice and clean.
Re: Microsoft Officially Unveils The Brand-New Xbox Store
And yet the Windows Store and Xbox App on PC are still freaking garbage 😤.
Re: Phantasy Star Online 2 Heads To Steam, Includes Crossplay With Xbox
@JON22 Can't you change your console's region, download the game, and change back? That's what I used to do on Xbox One.

Re: Xbox Exclusives To Release On Xbox One For 'Next Couple Of Years'
@gingataisen don't make fun of KFConsole, it might outsell the Xbox 😛
Re: Guide: Which Games Are Coming To July's Xbox Summer Demo Event?
Is this limited to Xbox Console or is it coming to Windows 10 as well?

Re: Gears 5’s Operation 4 Update Introduces Major Changes Across The Board
@KelticDevil Both did. Gears 2 had a dlc called Deleted Chapter or scene that had Marcus and Dom infiltrate the Locust underground hideout.
Re: Gears 5’s Operation 4 Update Introduces Major Changes Across The Board
@KelticDevil Gears 3 also did it with RAAM's Shadow.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 4th)
I got all the Achievements for Darksiders Genisis on PC yesterday, loved it. And I today I got to try Mortal Shell, very disappointing.
Re: Xbox Summer Demo Event Announced, Will Feature Up To 100 Playable Games
This is awesome. I enjoyed Steam Summer event. I got to try some amazing games and chat with the devs. I guess E3 cancelation worked better for us gamers.
Re: Microsoft Reveals More Games Coming To Xbox Game Pass In July
On PC too? huh. So, it will also release on Windows Store! I had on Bethesda Launcher and got it for free on Steam, and I still can't stand it. Good luck everyone.
Re: Phil Spencer: People Will Be Really Pleased With July's Xbox Series X Event
You see this is what bugs me. Stop hyping up the event so that you don't disappoint.
Re: Microsoft 'Neck Deep' In Preparations For July's Xbox Series X Event
I'm keeping my hopes way down. Good luck to them.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want To See From Xbox Game Studios In July?
I want to see new IPs from Microsoft. I don't want to see Gears or Forza. It's about time they went head-to-head with Sony's first party games.
Re: These Might Be The First Images Of Dragon Age 4 For Next-Gen
I suspect the reveal will happen in Microsoft's July event.

I do, sometimes 😅
Re: Xbox Game Pass Member? Get A Free Copy Of The Witcher 3 On PC
@BlueOcean Unfortunately, even if you have the GOTY edition, you only get the standard one.
Re: In Sound Mind Brings Psychological Horror To Xbox Series X Next Year
I tried the demo on PC. It's pretty cool, but definitely needs lots of work.
Re: Need for Speed Heat Is Getting Cross-Play, First EA Title To Do So
They should do the same to Anthem if they want to save that wreck of a game.
