COD will probably remain multiplat, but if others become exclusive I won't lose any sleep.

@antstephenson I loved the first game on Orange Box, but just never got around to 2 so I'm inclined to believe it.

I doubt they'll continue it for much longer. Feels like they've wanted to make Game Pass the focus for a while.

Never played Portal 2, so that's a win for me.

We can't compare one game to another. That's illegal. To describe any game, you must not compare it to anything that's ever existed. In fact, people should just make up an entirely new language whenever a new game I like comes out. That's just how the world should work since every idea ever is wholly original.

It's a tie been Avowed and ES VI, for me.

Though I hope Fallout 5 is a return to form.

This is on my radar, tbh.

Talk about a blast from the past.

Well, there ya go. Not true, it wouldn't make sense for this game anyway. It might be great but I doubt it'd be on Sony's radar for GP blocking.

This feels a bit like manufactured outrage, tbh.

Sony and MS aren't friends. In other news, the sky is blue.

@SplooshDmg I can see that happening. The first game is excellent.

@SplooshDmg congrats on XC definitive. I'm loving XC3, myself.

I'm indifferent so I guess I'd defer to saying they need a new one since people who want something new tend to be the loudest about it.

I have an Xbox Series X and I'm here to ruin your poll.

Probably shouldn't have voted or commented but I had to! Anyway, I hope Series S owners love their console.

While they do have some good games, I'm inclined to agree MS is right.

Of course you can't deny COD is a big seller but yeah. I still agree.

I kind of want them to make it exclusive just to stick it to Sony but it's possible it won't happen because MS wants the Activision Blizzard purchase to go through. In all honesty, I don't know enough about Antitrust laws to speculate on that but I'd chortle if MS does end up making COD exclusive to Xbox after the sale goes through.

@XxEvilAshxX right, that's pretty much the direction it seems like they're going.

I already have SR2 I think but the X1 games look fine. It won't shock me when MS sunsets this by the time they'd be forced to add XS games to the program.

Calico seems interesting, though.

I mean, of course they would do that because they believe it creates loyalty towards their system.

@pip_muzz just as it's impossible not to offend someone, it's impossible to offend everyone.

I'm not huge into GoW but more single player Xbox exclusives from MS would be great.

I'd honestly like a handheld Xbox but I'm not 100% sure a handheld with MS' hardware philosophy would be affordable for the average consumer.

Recently got Outer Worlds with points and I have enough for RDR2 but I'm holding off until I can get enough for a full game. It is a great program.

This one snuck up on me, I felt like it was going to come out next year for some reason.

EA is a parody of themselves, at this point.

I know hating Ubisoft is cool, but this sounds pretty great if true.

Edit: It's hilarious that in both contexts of this article, my comment fits. It does sound great either way.

Not that I like Ubi very much but there isn't a lot of middle ground in their output so let's hope it's on the good end.

Oh, who could have predicted this would happen? Surely not me...

"... Xbox Games with Gold program, which hasn't been particularly well received over the past few years."

Because of MS' own doing. They want as many GPU subscribers as possible. They still haven't gotten me and probably won't ever.

@Banjo- no, that's too logical.

Never did get around to playing this game when it was new so maybe this will convince me to buy it.

I would hope so, I'm just ready for them to start releasing more games. I love my Series X for what it does, it's my console for games never coming to a Nintendo system, but some more exclusives would be nice.

I have hope for the next entry, now.

@tartanross Yes, people do that and it really doesn't make sense to me. If you go to a site that is open about its biases, you shouldn't complain when you see that on display. But people act surprised when it happens. It's like going to a shoe store and complaing to the clerk that there are shoes on display.

Oh no, an Xbox site is talking about a time when Xbox has an advantage over a competitor. I'm very upset that I took the time to visit here and they're talking about a console that they like favorably. They should just constantly trash the subject console of the site and praise everything else!

I really thought this was already on Xbox. It's a great game, so if it's your first time I hope you love it.

I seriously doubt it'll never come.

It's a tough choice between New Vegas, 3 and 4 but I went with New Vegas. All three of those entries are great, though.

I gave it a 9/10. The music, gameplay, levels, characters and "story" are just so amazing. One of my favorite games in a while.

Cashed in on this yesterday.

@Rafie No, what I meant was you won't know how Game Pass affect sales. In any case, I wasn't trying to be aggressive or anything. I was just saying it's not something to lose sleep over. At the end of the day, it's your life and you feel how you want.

@Rafie that's virtually unknowable because how many people would have bought it if it wasn't available via Game Pass? It's the second highest selling game on Switch eShop in NA. Idk about other shops or regions, but I doubt it isn't similar to sales on other platforms. And frankly, it isn't really your problem to know how much it affected their income. Sure, It's good to know that it sold well. But at the end of the day, what can you do about it if it didn't?

I do literally mean "you," btw.

I downloaded it, cowabunga!

Cool, can't wait to play it in 2035.

I have a fever and the only prescription is more Starfield.

The second watch of that gameplay (in 4k) really did the game favors, for me. Now, I'm more hyped than ever.

I could tell it was an XSS/X game from the start. Looks gorgeous.

Even if it's first person (which is a big critique many have for MS) I believe them. Redfall looks like it's going to be really immersive.

@NEStalgia right, so that's why I say 2022 was better from a substantive standpoint. We actually got to see the games in action. And most of them looked good.

Funny, I thought 2021 was a little better than 2022's showcase from an announcement standpoint, but 2022 was admittedly better in terms of substance.

Well, it's about time to return to RE7.
