I want less third party titles releasing on every platform except Xbox.
I want more OG Xbox and Xbox 360 titles joining the BC program.
I want every first party title to aim for 60 fps at launch, instead of launching at 30 fps and then have a 60 fps mode patched in like a year later like it was for Starfield and Redfall, and probably will be for Avowed.
I want the rumors about Oblivion and Fallout 3 remasters to be true.
We had a break-in in our storage in late april this year, and my R2D2 edition Xbox 360 was stolen, amongst other things. I’m super sad I lost that beautiful console, even if I hadn’t used it much at all since the BC program started.
@LonR I don’t understand why it would be such a big deal to do it in the consoles settings vs. the in game settings, it takes like 30 seconds anyway? It just feels very nitpicky to me.
@LonR You can turn off crossplay if you don’t want it. I turned it off during late pre-season when every game was filled to the brim with hackers. I’ve been playing with crossplay enabled again since season 1 started and I rarely have any problems with it.
I grabbed Fear 3 at that cheap price. I already have Fear 2 digitally and Fear Files on disc, so now I only need the first game to have the entire series.
I loved my time with Starfield (199 hours) but I regret playing it last year having to put up with the 30 fps. Had I known that a 60 fps update was coming this year, I would gladly have waited. Now knowing better, I won’t make the same mistake with Avowed.
A huge win for sure! I’ll be sure to pick up both of these collections when they release 🙂
I hope this means we’ll also get the Mega Man Battle Network Collection. I have all the other Mega Man collections on Xbox, so it would be lovely to be able to finally complete my collection of collections.
Sad news for me. I actually love this game and I play it almost every day and hope to be able to continue doing so.
I don’t usually enjoy online shooters, but XDefiant just has something that speaks to me, and I find it very fun and addicting. Maybe Marvel Rivals could be a good substitute if XDefiant meets a too early demise…
What a silly statement; if it runs at 30 fps it doesn’t run well.
I have been really looking forward to this game since the very first teaser trailer, but I will not play it until a 60 fps patch is in place. Even if it means I have to wait until the next generation Xbox consoles.
@Frmknst Of course, I still buy lots of games, not everything is on Gamepass you know. I see Gamepass more like a nice complement to the games I purchase. A great way to get to try out games I normally wouldn’t have bought, like for example PowerWash Simulator and The Quarry. Both are games I would not have thought of purchasing, but played them thanks to Gamepass and loved them both.
Same with music; I’ve subscribed to Spotify since 2011, but I still purchase lots of music.
I’ve only played 1 and 2 so far, and it was 10+ years ago… but I remember liking 2 a little bit better because it felt a little more lenient with the time schedule. I would like to replay them, as well as playing 3 and 4 for the first time, but my backlog is massive 🥲
@Lup The Devil’s Daughter is alright, but have you played Crimes & Punishments? It is far superior and is the best Sherlock game out of the ones I’ve played.
Sad news, I hate when Capcom does this, it was the same with the Mega Man Battle Network and the Great Ace Attorney collections 😔
Also, didn’t SE just say that they were going to stop excluding platforms from now on? So why aren’t we getting Romancing SaGa 2 on Xbox, huh Square-Enix???
I already have a Series X so I don’t see any point in getting one of these new models. If they released a significantly more powerful version I might have considered upgrading.
And I can’t wait for the handeheld, I’ll be all over that when they release it! (Because after so many rumours and hints, it has to be a real thing, right?)
Online shooters are usually not my cup of tea, but I felt curious to try XDefiant and now I’m hooked!
I’m currently at player level 53. I have unlocked most of the Battle Pass, as well as all characters except one of the Echelon guys, and every weapon except a shotgun and a marksman rifle.
Also playing some retro games on my Miyoo Mini+, after finally getting around to installing OnionOS on it.
The 60 fps mode should have been there from the start. I played Starfield for almost 200 hours last fall/winter, and when I read this news article my first thought was ”I should have waited for this update” because those 200 hours would have been far more enjoyable in 60 fps.
But then I corrected myself; it is not that I should have waited for the update, it is the game that absolutely should have launched with a performance mode!
I haven’t gone crazy this sale. So far I’ve purchased Steelrising: Bastille Edition and The Dark Pictures Anthology: Season One which contains all of the Dark Pictures titles released so far; Man of Medan, Little Hope, House of Ashes and The Devil in Me.
I’m going to take one last look through the sale tonight so I don’t miss anything.
I genereally prefer shorter games, unless it’s an open world action/adventure/rpg. Those games can be as long as they want, because I love open world exploration and I usually never tire of that genre.
8 hours sounds perfect for a game like Hellblade 2.
@Cikajovazmaj Same for me. I LOVE Diablo 1 & 2, but 3 was a disappointment for me. I thought 4 would be more like the first two games, but yeah, it’s definitely more like 3.
Currently playing Earth Defense Force 2025 with my wife, and it is just as fun now as it was back in 2014. Highly recommended if you have someone to play local co-op with
I’m hoping for good discounts on Armored Core 6, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Frontiers of Pandora, Steelrising, the two Baldur’s Gate Dark Alliance remasters, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Otogi 1 and 2, Tetris Effect, and the new Lords of the Fallen game.
Also low-key hoping for good deals on Infinite Wealth and Apollo Justice Ace Attorney, but they are probably too new to get any deep discounts yet.
I really think Capcom should prioritize remaking the rest of the tank control games(i.e. RE1, 0 and Code Veronica) before tackling 5, 6 and the Revelations titles.

Re: Finally, Assassin's Creed Syndicate Is Getting An FPS Boost On Xbox
Nice, this is one of the few AC games I haven’t played yet, so I’m very happy about this 🙂
Re: SEGA Delisting Multiple Xbox Games This December
@BadBoyBule My guess is that all of these delisted games have re-releases coming in the near future, while Fighting Vipers and Virtual-On doesn’t.
Re: SEGA Delisting Multiple Xbox Games This December
Yeah, this smells of new re-releases. Kind of how they delisted the 360-version of Sonic Generations a couple of months before the remaster dropped.
Delistings are always sad to see, but I think I have all of these already.

Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite Xbox Game Of The Year So Far?
It’s a compilation and not a new game so I don’t know if it counts; but my favourite release of 2024 is Castlevania Dominus Collection.
Re: It's Been 365 Days Since One Of The Biggest Releases Of The Xbox Series X|S Era

Re: Ubisoft's XDefiant Reportedly 'On Borrowed Time' Due To Shrinking Playerbase
Sad news for me. I actually love this game and I play it almost every day and hope to be able to continue doing so.
I don’t usually enjoy online shooters, but XDefiant just has something that speaks to me, and I find it very fun and addicting. Maybe Marvel Rivals could be a good substitute if XDefiant meets a too early demise…

What a silly statement; if it runs at 30 fps it doesn’t run well.

Re: 'Castlevania Dominus Collection' Just Got Shadow Dropped On Xbox Series X|S
I’m so happy I could cry, I love these games 🖤
Re: Obsidian Confirms That Avowed Runs At 30FPS On Xbox Series X|S
Oh no, this is a huge disappointment for me, I was really expecting 60 fps for this game.
This means I will hold off on playing Avowed until a 60 fps update is in place (which is what I should have done for Starfield…)
Re: Xbox Shares Updated Release Schedule For Major Upcoming Games
Looking forward to Avowed, but I don’t mind it being moved to next year because my backlog is ridiculous 😅

Re: Talking Point: Which Has Been The Most Reliable Xbox Console For You?
The only Xbox model that has given me any trouble whatsoever is my early model Xbox 360 which RRODed for me after about 6-7 years of heavy use.
After that I’ve had 360 Slim, OG One, One X and now a Series X and they have all worked perfectly 🙂

Re: Lots Of Xbox Games Are Reduced By 90-95% For The Rest Of April

Re: Talking Point: Would You Be Interested In Microsoft's White Xbox Series X Revision?
I jave a Series X already, so there really isn’t any point for me in getting this version.
A handheld Xbox, on the other hand, would be an essential purchase for me, I really hope those rumours are true.
