@NeutronBomb yeah, I only got GTA V for XSX because of MS rewards, it's on sale and I haven't bought any previous versions. Otherwise, I'd have stayed away.
Strongly considering RDR2 but with rumors of a proper XSX version, I'm not so sure. Then again, is GTA V really that much better looking than the Gen 8 version? From what I gather, not really.
@NEStalgia Ubisoft said something along the lines of "launch games will cost $60" to imply that could change. Don't be surprised when more publishers follow suit and games cost $70.
And I would be very surprised if EA wasn't among the first. Then again, they do love their microtransactions, so they might not feel like they have to...
Honestly, I expect third-party games to cost $70 for current gen games. Once Sony set the precedent, I knew others would follow. This may change for Activision since they're going to be MS, but others will charge more whenever possible.
That guy has some decent videos. One of the few consistent uploaders out there.
Also, I've tested it out. It's been so long since I played on X1, I forgot how it compares but it's nice on Series X. It feels slightly surreal to say that when the console is still fairly hard to find.
So stupid you need to have those games or game Pass to complete this. Looks like no bonus points for me. I guess the consolation is points are generally easy to earn. 🤷
Yep, that's a DS phat. Anyone who bought that is a real one.
It's fun to see all of the competitors with each other's consoles and hanging out. At the end of the day, they like video games as much as most people who are into it.
That reminds me, I still need to get FH5. 3 was really fun and I haven't played in a while.
On the topic of the article. While I wouldn't mind if MS and third-parties stopped making X1 games, it doesn't matter much to me but I guess I'd rather they drop it.
@Rural-Bandit I feel like Series X is good for my purposes. I had no issues with X1 since I didn't have a PS4 to compare it to on third-party games. I don't own a PS5, so that is not an issue for me.
Gears 3 and Star Wars are a tie for me, but I voted Star Wars. I really wish MS would go all out with hardware bundles on the XSX once they can normalize production.
Let's not kid ourselves, they knew this wouldn't go over well. I don't really mind because I have a lot of Xbox games to buy and play, but not everyone games like I do.

Re: The Full Version Of Grounded Launches This September On Xbox
I wonder if this will cost more for people who buy it at $29.99 now or if it will cost $59.99, at all...
Re: 'High On Life' Debuts Its Sci-Fi Shooter On Xbox Game Pass This October
I actually like the look of this game. I may get it at launch.
Re: Bethesda Shares An Extensive First Look At Starfield Gameplay
Looks great but it will take some time before I'm used to that UI.
Re: Three Persona Games Are Officially Coming To Xbox Game Pass
I'll get these if they don't come to Switch. Never played Persona and people seem to love them.
Re: Rumour: Banjo-Kazooie Revival Could Be Announced At Xbox Showcase 2022
Really hope it's a new, single player, platformer. Wild that I need to be that specific with my hopes, but it is what it is.

My body is ready.
Re: Xbox Game Pass Is Coming To Smart TVs, Starting With Samsung
@Kopite I did not know that, I thought it was PC-only. It is a little surprising they were there first.

Re: Review: Assassin's Creed Origins - Better Than Ever On Xbox Series X
Barely played this on X1, but I'm liking it so far on XSX. It's hard to deny that Ancient Egypt is a cool setting, in the first place.
Re: NASA Releases Free Xbox Game, Complete With Achievements (1000G)
Well, time to download this to finish the achievements portion of my weekly set.
Re: Xbox Announces Extended Showcase Featuring 90 Minutes Of Deep Dives
I'm just glad this is at a decent hour.

Re: Xbox Expected To Feature 'A Lot Of Gameplay' At Next Week's Showcase
Avowed is one I'm looking very forward to because ES6 is a ways off.
Re: Resident Evil 4 Remake Revealed, Launches On Xbox In March 2023
Very nice. Can't wait to play this version!

Re: Assassin's Creed Origins 60FPS Update Out Now On Xbox Series X|S
Well, time to download.
Re: Assassin's Creed Origins 60FPS Update Arrives June 2 On Xbox Series X|S
Bought this a while back. I plan on playing it after I finish Gears 5.
Re: Random: Xbox's Major Nelson Reflects On The Time Reggie Signed His Nintendo DS
Yep, that's a DS phat. Anyone who bought that is a real one.
It's fun to see all of the competitors with each other's consoles and hanging out. At the end of the day, they like video games as much as most people who are into it.
Re: Digital Foundry Questions The Need For Mid-Gen Console Upgrades
I pretty much agree. I'm glad someone who gamers actually listen to said it.
Re: Microsoft Rewards: How To Complete The Stranger Things Punch Card For 500 Points
I was about to give up on this one. Thanks!
I'm not 100% sure, but I think I got 575 points out of this because they changed it after I already earned 500...
Re: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Gets Trailer & 2023 Release Date
Beat the first game and loved it. Hope this one turns out well.
Re: Xbox One Is Probably Here To Stay, Whether We Like It Or Not
That reminds me, I still need to get FH5. 3 was really fun and I haven't played in a while.

Re: TCL Suggests New Xbox & PS5 Consoles Could Arrive In 2023/4
@Rural-Bandit yes, more storage would be amazing.
Re: TCL Suggests New Xbox & PS5 Consoles Could Arrive In 2023/4
@Rural-Bandit I feel like Series X is good for my purposes. I had no issues with X1 since I didn't have a PS4 to compare it to on third-party games. I don't own a PS5, so that is not an issue for me.
Re: TCL Suggests New Xbox & PS5 Consoles Could Arrive In 2023/4
If that happens, I'll do what I did last gen. Stick with my current console. As others have said, though, I doubt this is accurate.
Re: Talking Point: Which Of These Xbox 360 Limited Edition Consoles Is Your Favourite?
Gears 3 and Star Wars are a tie for me, but I voted Star Wars. I really wish MS would go all out with hardware bundles on the XSX once they can normalize production.
Re: Ubisoft Reveals Launch Dates For Two Xbox Game Pass Titles
Wonder how that patch is coming along.
Re: 'Star Wars Jedi: Survivor' Is Supposedly The Sequel To Fallen Order
I just can't wait to see it. I loved Jedi: Fallen Order. It was such a good game.
Re: Elden Ring Has Outsold Call Of Duty: Vanguard In The US
I figured it'd sell well. It's a multiplat that has a lot of great reviews.
Re: God Of War Creator Slams Xbox Boss's Response To Bethesda Delays
I have nobody to blame but myself for reading his rambling.
Re: Reaction: Bethesda Delays Make June's Showcase Even More Important For Xbox
I rely on Xbox mainly for third-party games. For that, Series X has served me well.
Re: Xbox's Phil Spencer Issues Statement In Response To Starfield And Redfall Delays
Let's not kid ourselves, they knew this wouldn't go over well. I don't really mind because I have a lot of Xbox games to buy and play, but not everyone games like I do.
Re: Bethesda Delays Starfield And Redfall To First Half Of 2023
Undeniably bad news, but I can live with it because I still have Xbox games that I want to buy in the meantime.
Re: Deals: All Backwards Compatible Games In This Week's Xbox Sales (May 10-16)
That reminds me, I need to finish Nights into Dreams.
Re: The Nintendo Switch Is Basically Getting An Xbox Pro Controller
I'm happy with the Nintendo one but this is pretty nice, too.
Edit: Feels weird saying this on an Xbox site, but here we are...
Re: Microsoft Creates Patent That Enables Xbox Discs To Be Converted To Digital
Okay, I'm listening.
Re: Phil Spencer & Team Xbox Meet With Bethesda Ahead Of June's Games Showcase
I believe they'll deliver.
Re: Review: Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising - A Distinctly Average Introduction To All Things Eiyuden
@suikoden I would try it if I had GP. Sounds like a decent enough game now that I've seen more reviews.
Re: Review: Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising - A Distinctly Average Introduction To All Things Eiyuden
Between this and NL, I believe this review is accurate. Too bad, I had high hopes for this game.
Hmmm...Dtoid gave this a good score so Idk what to think. Lol
Re: Gotham Knights Last-Gen Versions Have Been Cancelled
Fine by me, it's past due for publishers to really support the current MS and Sony consoles.
Re: Obsidian's Avowed Appears To Be Running On Unreal Engine 5
I'm just ready to see more of this game. Hoping it can scratch that ES itch until 6 comes out.
Re: The Upcoming Xbox Games Showcase Looks Set At 90 Minutes Long
I hope it's as good as last year's show. That was, imo, MS' best E3 ever. Sure, this isn't E3 but it might as well be.
Re: Deals: The Force Is Strong With This Star Wars Sale, Now Live On Xbox
I May get one of these, but I own one-Fourth of them.
Okay, that was forced.
Re: Jeff Grubb Suggests Another Square Enix Acquisition 'More Likely' Following Western Studio Sale
Really hope if one happens, it's not Sony or MS. Honestly, I'd rather they just stay as they are now.
Re: Rumour: 'Virtually Every' Xbox Studio Has Submitted Content For June's Games Showcase
I'll wait for the show to get really hyped but I hope this is good news.
Re: Xbox Games With Gold For May 2022 Announced
Well, I didn't get Yoku on Switch so I'll take this one. Good month for that, alone.
Re: Talking Point: What Are Your Wild Predictions For The Xbox Games Showcase?
I'd love to see an ES 6 teaser and perhaps an old IP from Rare get a new entry. Maybe Conker's Bad Fur Day? I can dream...
Also, Avowed would be nice.
