Well that took a while. I played this on Switch for a while, but it was lacking polish. Willing to get back into it on Xbox though if it's much improved.
@nomither6 Yeah Xbox controllers have basically become the standard for PC gaming. Yeah you can use a PS controller, but most PC games are designed with the Xbox controller in mind, and Xbox controllers have native compatibility with Windows, everything just works. They are definitely sold to a wider audience than just Xbox consoles.
@Secryt It's "childish to imagine pricing would stay the same forever" is a ridiculous statement to make when there has already been recent price hikes. This is just entertainment after all, you can only increase the price so much until people think it isn't worth it.
The industry really needs to cool it on these service price hikes, it's already at the point where they're getting hard to justify. Any more expensive and you might as well just use that money to buy games and actually own them.
I'd say it's a lot more like the first two Flatout games than Wreckfest, if you played them and note the differences. I really enjoyed it on PC for what it is, and Xbox seems like a better place to play it.
Amazing how the FTC is still trying to waste time and resources fighting this. It's done, over, time to put their pride aside, admit defeat, and focus on something more important.
To be honest the Xbox One's backwards compatibility was so good that it completely replaced the need for my old Xbox One consoles. With the Series X only adding to that it has been easy for me to retire my old 360's.
I think the only time I preferred long games was when I was a teenager and had all day to just play games. Now a days I just never seem to have the time to get through big long epics. The only games I put a ton of time into are the kind of games I can just keep chipping away at and playing whenever I am in the mood such as racing and sports titles.
The gaming industry sure isn't what it used to be. I remember when the top 10 was dominated by new releases. Says a lot about the type of games people want to play today, as well as the pace of popular releases among the general public. So much in the way of new hype seems to revolve around games only the hardcore gamer community is into.
This is definitely one of those super limited deals with absurd pricing for the collectors who actually care about it. Honestly, probably hard to lose money on the second hand market, but I doubt I would want to bother with this because I still gotta spend $700 on a Series X.
For me it's all about the games really. Like with the Dark Forces remaster, it was very much needed IMO and greatly enhances the experience of trying to play that game. As with something like Brothers however, it's easy for me to skip as I don't really think it's that necessary nor do I consider the game the kind of classic I would want to play again with a remastering.
@GuyinPA75 Physical or digital makes absolutely no difference in this situation. If you own a disc for The Crew it's going to be a frisbee or drink coaster when the service goes down.

Re: Treyarch Posts First Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 Teaser Ahead Of Xbox Direct
Sounds like it should be pretty similar to Cold War

Re: Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection Gets New Xbox Update, Full Patch Notes Revealed
They basically killed this game with a combination of making it overpriced, broken upon release, and lacking crossplay.

Definitely not for me.

More 360 games and more FPS boosted games.

Re: Xbox ANZ & Cure Cancer Foundation Collaborate To Build Dazzling Custom Series X Consoles
Very artsy, very cool looking.
Re: Time Is Running Out For Hundreds Of Games On The Xbox 360 Store
To be honest the Xbox One's backwards compatibility was so good that it completely replaced the need for my old Xbox One consoles. With the Series X only adding to that it has been easy for me to retire my old 360's.
Re: Here's What Might Be Leaving Xbox Game Pass In May 2024
I loved Sniper Elite 5. Great stealth action game.
Re: Walmart Plus Members Can Now Get 2 Free Months Of Xbox Game Pass
@PapaGlitch Walmart is pretty far from just being a supermarket, in the US at least it's probably Amazon's #1 competitor.
Re: Walmart Plus Members Can Now Get 2 Free Months Of Xbox Game Pass
Hate it when they only have these deals for new subscribers.
Re: Talking Point: Do You Prefer Shorter Or Longer Games In General?
I think the only time I preferred long games was when I was a teenager and had all day to just play games. Now a days I just never seem to have the time to get through big long epics.

Re: 10 Exciting Xbox Indie Games To Look Out For In April 2024
Been playing Trail Out on PC for a while now, it's a very fun Burnout/Flatout-esque racing game.

Re: Xbox's Official New 'Nocturnal Vapor' Controller Launches Next Week
@JoakimZ Same. No point in buying any more controllers until the new one releases.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Be Interested In Microsoft's White Xbox Series X Revision?
It's just a worse version of what I already have.
Re: Review: Open Roads (Xbox) - Unengaging Mysteries & Low-Energy Thrills Take Their Toll In This Bland Tale
This is a good example of the type of game I would never want to play.
Re: Xbox's Latest Console Giveaway Comes With An Entire Fallout-Themed Vault
Now that's cool, would love to have that vault. The console is nice as well.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of 'Control' On Xbox Game Pass?
I didn't think much of it, kind of a weird game that didn't do much for me or really make me want to keep playing.
Re: Deliver Us The Moon Dev Issues Plea To Publishers, Says It's The Team's 'Last Resort'
I wasn't really impressed by their game to be honest, so not that surprised.
Re: NBA 2K24 Seemingly Has A Pretty Short Xbox Game Pass Contract
I can't justify the space this game takes up. 2K19 was the last good one.
Re: System Shock Remake Is Officially Coming To Xbox In May 2024
I was wondering when the console versions would release, it's been TBA for a long time.

Cool but I'm not buying another controller until we get the next gen update.
Re: Former Xbox Boss Thinks Microsoft 'Would Love' A Cloud-Only Future
Sounds like going backwards. I have zero interest in that.
Re: Here Are The First Impressions Of 'Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator' On Xbox
I usually like driving games but driving the speed limit and obeying all the traffic laws in an EV taxi doesn't sound like fun.
Re: PAW Patrol World Is Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (March 7)
My nephews would love this, they're obsessed with that show.
Re: Reaction: 'TimeSplitters: Next' Gameplay Leak Makes Us Crave A More Traditional Sequel
Further proof of how modern developers have no clue how to do old franchises justice.

@sd7232 A game that has already been on sale for $25 that doesn't even include the DLC no less.
Re: Soapbox: 15 Years On, We Reckon Capcom Should Have A Crack At Resident Evil 5 Remake
@Fenbops Yup we're at a point where game publishers seem to be obsessed with ruining their games because politics.

This is definitely one of those super limited deals with absurd pricing for the collectors who actually care about it. Honestly, probably hard to lose money on the second hand market, but I doubt I would want to bother with this because I still gotta spend $700 on a Series X.
Re: Halo's Legendary Composer Marty O'Donnell Announces Political Career Switch
Blocking some commenters in this comments section. Political extremists exposing themselves, no thanks, I want nothing to do with them.
Re: Poll: How Often Do You Buy Games That Have Been 'Remade' Or 'Remastered'?
For me it's all about the games really. Like with the Dark Forces remaster, it was very much needed IMO and greatly enhances the experience of trying to play that game. As with something like Brothers however, it's easy for me to skip as I don't really think it's that necessary nor do I consider the game the kind of classic I would want to play again with a remastering.
Re: Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown Showcases Open-World Exploration In New Gameplay
I hope this delivers, I loved the first two TDU titles.
Re: Toys For Bob Is Becoming An Indie Studio, Leaving Xbox And Activision
Sounds like they just want to go back to being a legitimate studio that isn't simply ordered to do work for the latest COD.
Re: Ubisoft Boasts 'Record Player Engagement' With Pirate Adventure Skull & Bones
This definitely comes off as one of those times when a company is desperate to find any way they can to put a positive spin on something.
Re: Review: Balatro - LocalThunk's Deck-Building Roguelike Is A P-P-P-Poker Ace
This seems like a cool game but I'd rather get it on PC, definitely the kind of game I'd play on PC.

Re: Review: Skull & Bones - Solid Combat Saves The Day In Ubisoft's Middling Pirate Playground
Wow, pretty rough but I am not surprised. Think I'd rather play Sea of Thieves or something else.
