Truly an amazing game. Really wraps everything a storytelling game can do. I still haven’t beaten it though. Horror really isn’t my thing. Love the music videos between chapters and jump scares.

I got 5 I think for spending over $300 in the store in the last few days. I got an email to redeem them.

@Bigmanfan There is a huge community on achievement hunting. It's like trophy hunters on PlayStation. Microsoft Rewards gives you points for daily/weekly and monthly challenges. They used to be worth a lot and you could use your reward points to pay for your gamepass subscription or get gift cards.

Can’t wait. Got to be my most expected game of 2024.

Played it when it first came out. I liked steep more. I played a ton and have done all the dlc. It’s feels too arcadey especially with the add ons of skating and bmx. I prefer games like skater xl and trials fusion. Tons of content.

I never owned one but my cousin had one. We would play in the van, hotel rooms and tents. Crimson skies and halo were the game I remember. I had a PlayStation 1 and GameCube.

I got to play for about an hour yesterday. It crashed my computer with a memory leak. It eventually worked. Combat and art style is great. I wish it was local coop on Steam though. Hopefully they can roll that out. Not the best time for release but I'm going to play it some. World of Warcraft season 1 just dropped yesterday.

I get have a PlayStation for the exclusives but I bought a PC this year and won’t expand into Nintendo or Sonys ecosystem.

Skipping 2k until they put the three time mvp on the cover.

The adaptive controllers were awesome. I’ll always appreciate that Xbox puts on a huge show which is something the other two don’t do.

World of Warcraft and flight sim are my top. Games you can get lost in forever. Everything else looks good and will try on game pass. I’m hoping black ops zombies is great and gets a resurgence from the warzone diehards.

I’ll be on world of Warcraft on Thursday. Took a four day weekend with the fiancé to play.

Loving the multi class events. Really chill. I’m not the best track racer but I’m having a blast. Good for leveling cars and enjoying a cruise.

I really don’t understand the hate on the new FM but it’s my first one I started at release. It feels like a great track racer.

Perfect game to bring to other consoles. All of Xbox games are on PC day 1. Don’t get the doom and gloom. Anything to bring more players to a game is great for gamers. Bring them all over I could care less.

@clvr my friends and I just got into it. It is very daunting. It’s like an extraction shooter with horror elements. Really good graphics and setting. It’s more my friends type of game. Don’t like character resets when you die from people playing it for years and have very stealthy paid cosmetics.

It’s decent. Just sped through it on PC. Hit max in 60 hours. Bugs, no races, no classes. Resource gathering is good. Combat is decent. Environments and zones are vivid. Enemies and repetition gets boring. I’ll jump back in if some buddies pick it up on console. The community is toxic and bitter.

My partner and I did it for Xmas one year for each other. It’s cool and the controllers still work.

Thank you for the breakdown. A little upset with Xbox for just the way they release this information. But it’s still worth it to me especially since I use an Xbox and PC.

My friends and I still talk about Blur. We played it a lot online back in the day and it was so much fun. We thought it could be a Mario kart rival on other platforms.

I did the rewards for three years straight just to get game pass ultimate free. It was a grind but I liked it and it made me try most of the game pass games to get easy achievements for the daily.

It’s definitely slower now with a few updates but it’s still a great value. I got a PC and game between the two but don’t care about the reward tracking.

Yeah the Xbox controller is the best. Nintendos pro controller is second. I never liked PlayStation controllers. I heard their new ones are better. PS4 and before were garbage. Terrible charge, always ripped up the thumb sticks and always hit that middle button.

Looks interesting. I will try it. Hopefully they talk about 33 immortals too. The closed beta was pretty good.

@Jedge396 You can play on a safe server. You can’t get to pirate legend but you can play by yourself or with just your friends. There is tall tales that include lore. You can fish too. Or do most of the quests with each faction. It’s fun solo. It’s fantastic with friends.

Good. Sell their software. Who cares about the hardware. They release all first party day one on pc. Make money and let us all decide how we want to game.

Maybe one game I wasn’t interested in. Easy A and I loved the summer game fest presentation. Odd to see Ubisoft and ea use this as their showcase as well.

I just got a PC. I have a series X, S, Pc and a surface 2 pro. Love the gaming experience between them all.
I love all types of games and there was a great variety shown during the event.
I gave it an A easily. I was interested in 90% of the games or knew people who were. The next year is insane. Between AAA and independents,
I feel like small teams have the advantage like horror margins in the film industry. Interesting to see the decline of MMOs and huge player base servers.
Happy half X-mas on Sunday Funday.

I loved Delta Force Black Hawk Down. It’s my first online game getting really into. They had so many fun dedicated servers with custom maps and settings.
It’s not made by Nova so I’m a bit skeptical but I’ll try it out. It has the same look.

I hope it plays like smugglers run.

A pot of coffee and the game showcase on Sunday. Been doing it the last 4 years. Not going in with a lot of expectations. Excited for MSFS24 release date!

I've been running WoW on my surface tablet pro 2 for a few months now. Graphics are low but i've grinded 4 max characters and have done raids and mythic dungeons with it. I'd still be very interested in a console version.

@themightyant Yeah I wonder what this means for the Olli franchise.

Makes sense to bring a live service game to other platforms. Game needs population to succeed and after six years of a ton of content updates it’s the best time to get into the game.

@Weapon_Wheel If you like semi-realistic racers I would. I got it through game pass and the premium at launch. I had a blast with it for a few months with a wheel/shifter/brake. They've revamped certain aspects that turned people off like car leveling. I love it but I also love racing games.

I'll probably jump back in to focus on the multiplayer to get certain achievements. I just grinded Trackmania last week to get all golds in the new spring campaign. Also want to see the new updates on WRC as well. Great year for racing games.

It's okay. I was hoping it would be more like trials. Very easy achievement game. 2000 for probably an hour of gameplay.

I used all the rewards for over two years to pay for gamepass. Sad to see it go but I’ll cut off all other subscription services before game pass.

It’s gonna make the seas even better. More players when the game is at its best. Hopefully it gives them more money to keep investing in the game. The console wars will be written in the seas.

I'll probably check it out. Wish they would give Jokic a cover and I'd buy the premium edition. Huge Nuggets fan and go to a lot of games.

Yeah I did the New Zealand trick to play it yesterday. I love Vanillaware and want more dragons crown. Reminds me of tactic ogre.

FPS on a side scroller narrative game? Didn't have a problem with the frames when I beat the game 15 months ago.

It’s worked fine for me. I had a buddy playing Forza on his phone on his lunch break. I don’t really play handhelds that much because they cramp my hands.

@ShadowofTwilight I think so. They just added a "Safer Seas" where you can just play with your friends and not against other players. There is a lot of battling though with skelly ships and krakens. I highly recommend SOT. It's on of my favorite games especially with friends. I have a ton of fun solo but it can be a grind. Everything is just cosmetics which I like.

Had a blast with grounded and pentiment.

@Banjo- Right there with you. Would love for a push into family friendly coop games. I’m hoping everwild is a huge viva piñata.

Biggest reason I got the Xbox was for flight sim and the jobs in coop will be great fun with friends.

Sea of Thieves is amazing. I'll be getting to level 100 on the season pass tonight.

@Banjo- I appreciate it. I got out of Nintendo Life comments and Push Square too. I hardly touch my switch and had a PlayStation 4. Both those fan bases are so polarized. I feel like Xbox community gets a lot more trolls. But the few users on Pure Xbox that I enjoy are genuine gamers whose opinions I enjoy. But I feel tiresome defending a trillion dollar company when I’m absolutely enjoying my gaming mostly from game pass.

@FarmDog08 @Banjo- I think people just don't like Xbox and/or Microsoft. Either they don't know their history in games or their innovations and contributions to gaming. I also think a lot of it is just gaming and the culture that surrounds it. Easy to hate because it's changing. It's puzzling and I try to stay away from these hot button articles with rumors and speculation.

Will everyone that bashed Xbox for the last few weeks apologize after the podcast? Or will they scurry back under their rocks? I think everything will be just fine. They just bought a 70 billion dollar game publisher and people want them to tell us their business plans for the future. Got it.

Made me want to stop playing and play Sea of Thieves. Been really into it since the new update.

Nice little interview. Seems like a perfect game for game pass. Coop and Accessible. I like overcook but it really ramps up and you get testy with your team mates.
