Re: Talking Point: Did The Series X|S Bring You Back To Xbox? If So, How Come?

Halucigens

I tried pc game pass and loved having a great catalogue of games to try. My laptop handled games around 30-40 fps. I loved the Xbox showcase and knew I wanted the X series. It’d play the games I was enjoying way better and I upgraded my tv too. So far it’s been amazing. Playing new games playing last gen games and playing retro games. Nintendo, PC, and Sony are going to have to do a lot to get me to switch. The marketplace ecosystem makes sense to me. Play games, get Microsoft rewards to play more games. The other two console manufacturers are money hungry. Switch was making too many remakes and Sony only really specialized in single player games.

Re: Microsoft Rewards Guide: How To Make 20,000 Points Per-Month With Xbox

Halucigens

I’ve been using my points from rewards to pay for game pass since august of last year. I have it till December of this year already. You get a points break if you do 3 months. If you game everyday and check game pass quests and the rewards app it’s relatively easy. I also buy some games or utilize sales to get the big point drops. I really enjoy it because it incentivizes much game time and has me try new games.

Re: Sea Of Thieves Season 7 Sets Sail On Xbox July 21st

Halucigens

@tatsumi just set your expectations that anything can happen. It really sucks losing loot but the game can feel like a story book.

I love sea of thieves. Great times and memories with myself and with friends and loved ones. I really enjoyed that they gave Xbox communities like sea of thieves, elder scrolls, fall out 76 and MFSM some love. I think live service games get a lot of hate but these games are fantastic by yourself and with friends and with the communities involved.

Re: Battlefield 2042 Season 1 Revealed, Launches This Week On Xbox

Halucigens

I bought the digital deluxe. I’ve played a lot with my friends. We are all on the edge. Going to see if the season is worth it with the new map and specialist and how they do their season pass. Pretty sure I’m uninstalling it. Their bug fixes introduced new bugs. Their balance fixes had made it worse.

Re: InXile Defends Xbox In Response To 'Game Pass Fodder' Comment

Halucigens

Just go look at the reviews of indie games that come out on game pass. I can’t believe people get so upset over a “free” game that they don’t like. I try and try everything even if it’s just for ten minutes because I’ve experienced great things in products that I never thought appealed to me directly.

Re: Don't Expect As Many Showcases This Year, Says Geoff Keighley

Halucigens

I understand the criticism but I really enjoy these events. If I’m off work or just want to lazy around and see some games coming out from AAA to indie. Kind of sad to see it go this way. Hardly any magazines, conventions stopping. I rather everything get some attention then just the ones that can afford it. And even some of them don’t either. Most industries have events and conventions to get everyone in that career together. Not all marketing can be effectively shown just through social media and interest websites.

Re: Early Look At PS Plus Premium Shows How It Compares To Xbox Game Pass

Halucigens

Looks pretty good. Not as good as game pass to me personally. I love day one first party and a ton of day one indie games. This is great for the new generation of gamers. I would of saved a ton of money in my youth if these subscription services existed 15 years ago. Knowing you can grab a console with a huge back catalog of new and old games is exciting.

Re: God Of War Creator Slams Xbox Boss's Response To Bethesda Delays

Halucigens

I’m glad I don’t get this upset over delayed games. Being negative and constantly criticizing things that don’t really affect your livelihood isn’t good for you. Some of our thoughts deserve to just be our thought. Constantly sharing and getting positive reinforcement for your negative attitude isn’t helping anyone involved.
I have an itch to play starfield but it can wait.

Re: Game Dev Receives Abuse And Apparent Death Threat After Trek To Yomi Tweet

Halucigens

A really great game. I played it for the cinematography and story and surprised I made it to the end in three sittings. Perfect length. Pacing could of been a bit better.

This developer adds his perspective on his dealing with indie games and game pass and people jump on him. I wish these people that act super tough and super intelligent online got a dose of their own actions. It’s just games.
