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.
@Bleachedsmiles Yeah even Nintendo has one with their gold coins. I don’t get the same value out of it because it’s based on purchases only but it’s always nice buying a game using existing coin.
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.
@Would_you_kindly Yeah because it was an Xbox presentation. Both are coming to PlayStation. PlayStation has shown both games on their YouTube channel after the presentation with the new trailers. And both game websites include ps.
@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.
Really good show. A huge variety of games coming to game pass. I like the focus just need to honor it. I like they still showed off updates to games like sea of thieves and elder scrolls and fall out. These games have huge active communities. Glad to be on Xbox.
I’ve gotten good use out of the trial weekends and their summer demo fests. If a demo interests me I check it out and wait for release. Brings me back to the demo days on discs.
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.
I love when they talk with the developers and community managers and we get to see their passion behind the game. Really glad this is coming back. I really enjoyed listening to the age of empire team and Microsoft flight simulator team last year.
Definitely picking up that controller. Love all the perks they do for games. Got a bunch of banners last year in gears. Anyway to show my solidarity with my friends and family.
It’s really good. One of the first games I beat on my series X. The childrens book in the game is fantastic. Lots of Easter eggs and collectibles that actually complete the story.
Excited to try out Chorus and Ninja Gaiden. Never really liked For Honor. I’ve heard great things about origins but I’m burnt out on AC gameplay formula.
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.
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.
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.
Pretty good list of games. Wish it had some newer games. Also need to see how long Sony keeps their first party games for sale and when they will get put into the premium plus.
I’d like a gears collection. I was going to start one soon with some buddies but if the rumor is true I can wait. Especially if a gears 6 isn’t announced it’d be nice revisiting the campaigns and multiplayer.
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.
I switched to Xbox because the controller is so great. The pro switch is great too. I ran through so many ps4 controllers. Grips wore out, battery life zapped, constantly pressing the middle button.
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.
No issue here. Played yesterday and this morning and afternoon. Been using the espn app after that. Played with friends locating across the US. No issue for us.
I just beat turnip boy commits tax evasion. Really fun game. Lots of laughs lots of stupidity lots of vibes. Perfect game pass game. I also enjoy the show.
I might wait so I can watch it in the 4K video but I’ll probably watch it live and rewatch it a few days later. I’m glad they are keeping the E3 spirit alive.
Gears 6 releasing this November. A huge halo drop. Perfect dark footage. Everwild footage. Hellblade September starfield November. Probably Forza motor sports. Reveal on double fines next game. What to expect from the activision. I hope they do a developers conference again. I love hearing these developers talk about their work.
Would love a gears collection like everyone else. It’s what got me in Xbox when I was a teenager. So many nights playing the originals. I think all the games have fps boost now so I’ll be replaying them sooner then later.
