Halucigens

Seems great to me. Halo isn't my go to game but I jump on when I feel like a sci fi fps multiplayer. Had a blast last night with a friend.

Looks like a good road map. I’m really interested in the narrative events. Sea of thieves is doing timed narrative events and it’s been a blast.

Nice update. Game I’ll keep playing through the console generation.

Maps look good. Breaker looks super chaotic.

This already exists in single player and online games. This just sounds like Microsoft wants to control the marketing. Ads don’t bother me just keep it moving.

It really needs to drop on ea play and game pass. Player count is so low. Less then 750 in portal game modes. Need more maps and content. Can’t believe the season isn’t dropping till this summer.

I’ve bought games I’ve only played once to try out. Certain genres of games or that fit a niche or compliment my set up I’ll get.

@Heroofthenexus LOL

Sat down and beat it in one day which never happens. Loved the art and sound.

I loved this game. Ran into a few issues but I love fishing games and town sims and this hit the balance right. Game pass covers most gaming genres and that’s why I have it.

I’ve been having a lot of fun with it. My partner is huge into table top games and the humor makes her laugh uncontrollably. I really like the setting and magic.

I'm interested in all the new games to console. Maybe I can finally try and understand cricket.

@IronMan30 exactly this. Doing the rewards and game pass quest has gotten me game pass free for almost a year so far.

Shredders for me. Great month, great year so far on game pass.

I’d cancel Hulu before I cancel game pass. I get way more value out of game pass then any other subscription service. I sure am getting tired of all the gaming rumors though. There surely has to be real news out there or games to play and review or features to write. So many indies that come out weekly. So many game pass games to review.

Does the Sony model have pc support? I think ps now is on pc. That’s where I think Xbox wins. Day one also and cloud streaming with touch controls: this news isn’t going to bring me back into the Sony ecosystem. But it’s great for people just getting into gaming. That’s where both services are fantastic. If I was young and or a parent both services are fantastic

My favorite is the SSD hard drives with quick loading. Crazy just jumping between games and with quick resume it can be amazing. I always figured with bigger games that loading would be an issue like red dead redemption. Some games don’t work well with quick resume but it’s still a great feature.

@Leuke Yeah I loved for it to be like a minecraft, viva pinata, and sea of thieves hybrid where we all are building this huge garden.

Day one for me

If this is Sea of Thieves but in a massive forest then I'm happy.

Not interested. Microsoft got me into their ecosystem with game pass and It would be hard to peel me away. I had the Wii, Wii, 3ds and the switch and I don’t touch them anymore. I got the PS4 instead of the One because I liked PlayStation plus because I was low income for years. Their new exclusives never clicked for me and I thought the system and ui and controllers were shoddy. Testing out the waters with game pass on my pc and was amazed with the games I missed. Waited 10 hours to get an X and took days off of work to dive in and haven’t come up yet.

@Jark I bought an 80 dollar thrustmaster flight stick. I think it all depends on how you want to play it. If you just want to go sight seeing every once in awhile the controller works fine. The autopilot when you want to change camera angles and such is pretty good. But if you want to full sim and do flight paths then I’d get a stick. The game is gorgeous and great to have friends and family over and show them places they used to live or have visited.

Flight simulator is a great example at how I see them implementing cloud data. Game runs great on console and it’s already a 100 gigabyte download and streams close to 2 terabytes of data to simulate the weather and effects. I rather have real games on my mobile device then mobile gaming as we know it because they get stale fast.

@somnambulance I support this. Portal is near dead 4 months after launch. 2042 is unbalanced. Still no seasons.

I think Microsoft offers the most in the way they market their games. They still do physical, they do digital, they are in other stores (stream) they make devices and games cross platform. They have great merch. Just recently got the sea of thieves Xbox logo t shirt and a art poster. The way they integrate Microsoft rewards, game pass, internet usage and gaming. I love purchasing non game pass games because if you stack rewards you pay for game pass rather easily through points. Fast loading times changed this whole generation at being my favorite. Jumping between games in a party of friends bring me back to couch coop. Caught up with a bunch of high school and college friends.

Got mine preordered and preloaded.

Tried tunic. Playing sea of thieves, shredders, skater Xl and Diablo 2.

Played a lot of SSX but on GameCube. Loved steep and riders republic but I’m more of a skier in those. Shredders is top notch. A little buggy but I like the realism.

@RevGaming Me too. Tons of other games to play and tons of other things to do though. Don’t buy the games that have the content you don’t want. Jumping between discussion boards and social media and piling on complaints is not healthy. Just my thoughts on it. I don’t support it but I love online gaming so I can play with my friends around the world because I took a job where I know a handful of people in the state.

Games being down because of maintenance is nothing new. They needed better communication through their social media outlets and an in game message up for a few days before. Gaming is just entertainment for me. Can’t play one game I got a few hundred to choose from. Internet is out I got other things to do like read or play music. Big uproar over something that should be so minuscule in our lives. Everything can’t cater to everyone and people should probably accept that instead of stressing about it. Good discussion to have but I don’t see it ever changing

Lots. Olli Olli World, WWE 2k22. A bunch of indie games and any rhythm games

I played it yesterday. I was surprised. Controls are intuitive and the graphics hold up quite well.

@hbkay Game Pass does that a lot. Doesn’t say in the store when it’s a game pass game for preorders. A lot of rumors were flying around and I think the publisher stated it wouldn’t. Customers can just get a refund though if they choose to.

Great review. Super excited to play this.

People move around industries all the time. It's usually how you move up and get the position/salary you want. It's just video game development.

It’s generally difficult to round up all the Xbox fans/pc gamers that love Xbox titles. Obviously they are out there. I believe Xbox is better at community fan bases then what I see from Sony and Nintendo. I’ve been thinking about this for a few months.

@VisitingComet1 Yeah I ended up buying it. Haven’t played a wrestling game in a very long time. It will probably be my only one this generation but it’s a genre that’s always fun.

Might splurge and get this. Haven't played a wrestling game in a long time. Always a great genre to have for each generation.

I’ll be jumping in. I usually dive in every new season and complete the pass.

You see a lot of this in big projects. Hopefully they can roll out content and fixes quick enough. Hoping for more campaign content and when they add coop.

Music story and Music racer are great. Music story has great colors and illustrations and I like how they did the rhythm mechanic. Music racer is a really great visualized. You can upload your own music to Audius and play your own songs and also play others. Also if you set up a WebDAV? Server you can hook up to that to play the music you own I presume.

I’ve bought two one terabyte cards.

It took them three months to identify this? Balance the vehicles as well. You can take a hovercraft UP vertical surfaces such as boats and mountains. Going to have to do a lot for them to get me back playing but they already got my money.

Paid $20 for ten months of game pass mostly with the rewards program and a Black Friday deal. The quests make me try new games or have fun in a new genre.

I’ve been enjoying the demo. Did you test out any steering wheels? I have yet to plug in mine. The races seemed easy on normal but I’m okay with that. I’m on the fence about purchasing it. I like FH5 a lot more.

I've passed on Sony this generation. I don't need all three consoles. Very rarely do I touch my switch anymore since I got my X. I play my X nearly every day. If competition makes Xbox even better then I'm happy. Hopefully Sony fans like this if it's true.

I thought hellblade was amazing. Usually not my type of game and I put it down for a year. I played this and plagues tele simultaneously and they paired really well.

Let the developers do what they do best. Working on a continued project can be detrimental to the creative process especially in a big team. I’d love a gears masters collection, gears 6, and I’ll try most games on game pass.

I'm excited for this. Definitely happy there is a trial because I want to try this with my wheel. Heard the first grid was great.

I’ve been meaning to put some time into this. I’ve liked it so far. ESO and Sea of Thieves are my
main live games so it’s difficult fitting it in the rotation.
