Judas

Such dedication on the part of fellow Xbox gamers to up sticks and move to the other side of the world. Godspeed to you folks, I dare not try it because I would probably just manage to touch down in NZ at the exact moment MS deploys the Anti Gaming Migration Force.

I honestly wouldn't bother. I was stupid enough to get the Gold edition because it was one of my favourite games series. It's literally the exact same game as Payday 2 just with worse aiming.

It used to be my favourite game series. I honestly can't ant see it being GTA because of the way society can't handle anything being remotely controversial. I hope I'm wrong and I hope it's the most revolting, grotesquely controversial game ever made. Like an open world Manhunt with cars and Clucking Bells.

Was genuinely concerned about the 30fps announcement. I think I've been conditioned to expect nothing less than 60. This truly is the best implementation of 30fps I've seen in a long time. This game is so good, I feel like I did when I played Skyrim for the first time. Love it.

That's quite a meaty update, nice! Glad the rewards section is getting an overhaul

IGN and Gamespot, what a shocker! This whole 30fps thing really put me off when I found out about it but now I actually can't wait to play it.

@Nalverus Hey thank you for this, I really appreciate it.

My curiosity finally got the better of me after months of staying away from anything ABK and CMA related because it absolutely drove me insane. As I'm in the UK it has been nothing but doom and gloom and I thought that my time as an Xbox user was over.

Anything to do with business just completely goes over my head. There could do to be an Explain It Like I'm Five section here. So this deal is on the brink of being completed but the UK (as always) are being difficult. So if concessions are to be made or that the CMA blocks Xbox does that mean no more Xbox in the UK whatsoever or just no ABK games? I have confused myself so much over this.

@OrfeasDourvas Ah awesome, I'll have a look. I'll avoid pre-ordering though hehe. Thanks for letting me know 🙂

@OrfeasDourvas Hey is Eneba a decent place for games? I've only ever used CDKeys.

Haha bloody hell, that didn't take long. Do you think they were just trying it on?

Still waiting on FFVII remake and FFXIV. As weird as it sounds this will probably come to Xbox before them!

I guess this is it guys. Xbox is no longer relevant, not even Inspector Gadget wants to be on the platform. How will we cope?

I agree with @Microbius entirely. It'd almost be like admitting that the current consoles aren't powerful enough to run the games that are being developed for them.

And @robe, I am usually the same. New Xbox/Playstation tech, gotta have it. This feels different though, I really am not in the slightest bit interested in laying down another £400+ just for it to run the games that the X should be able to run.

@Cyberpsycho I agree wholeheartedly with you. But remember, if Sony are doing it it's Pro Consumer, for the good of the gaming community. Xbox, no matter what they do will ALWAYS be the bad guys because the masses don't know any better.

I think they're getting the word "gamers" and "f**kfaces" mixed up in this case.

But Why Tho, are they an industry front runner in game reviews? I think I'll just ignore that one.

Tbh I'm just dumbfounded. They didn't show anything... I mean I didn't imagine that right? And Phil, he was there wasn't he? Look I'll always be an Xbox fan but even I'm struggling with this one.

@themcnoisy I'm switching to Playstation.. I can't even look at my Xbox after this 😂😂

Honestly really enjoying it this time around. They seem to have improved it a hell of a lot since launch.

Honestly I can't believe I'm about to type this. The biggest surprise for today was how good it was to play Battlefield. Just played a few matches on Breakthrough and it was really good.

Gun Grave was an absolute sack of dog****. I've been looking forward to it since it was announced. I don't mind playing bad games. Bad games have some charm. Gun Grave is an absolute insult. It's soulless, repetitive and the main character has less charisma than Connor had in Assassin's Creed 3; which I thought was impossible.

Play Gun Grave if you want to press fire repeatedly and have someone shout "Grave" every two seconds.

@Kaloudz Haha, I can see where you're coming from with Mjr! Yeah that's it, he has been so irritating.

I've just read that Xbox have offered Sony a ten year deal on Call of Duty. Sony are withholding comment.

@Kaloudz I'm not usually someone who says things like that but the way he's carried on with this deal is absolutely outrageous. It's like he's given birth to Call of Duty from his own insipid birthing sack.

@Kaloudz He has the most punchable face of 2022.

Ah obviously Obsidian didn't get the memo that Game Pass is "bad for gaming" 😅

@Kezelpaso it's just the title of the post. It makes you think that it will only run at 30fps across the board. If you're like me (which I hope people aren't) it worries me. I meant no offense by it.

Edit - my apologies. I read the title wrong. I thought it mentioned Series X when it was the One X. I need to stop working night shifts.

Gotta love the misleading title of this. Is this a pro Xbox news page or what?

@theduckofdeath I like the sound of that. Give Sony a taste of their own medicine haha

I love the FPS boost. Considering my backlog has pretty much put me a generation behind.

Xbox is almost having to treat PlayStation like an only child where it's parents are expecting another. "We promise we will love you the same".. that kinda thing.

How 'bout that eh? And apparently Game Pass is bad for games.

@Banjo- That does concern me a bit I have to admit. The possibility that Xbox wouldn't sell their games in the UK doesn't sound good 😐

@BRUTALSAM I like the sound of that even better than the ActiBlizz deal hehe. I guess it's better from a business standpoint to go for the bigger studio but seeing some smaller studios get a chance would be awesome.

I've seen people writing "Xbox is finished" if the deal doesn't go through. Just annoyed me a bit.

Makes me wonder what happens next. If it doesn't go through how will it affect Xbox? 😐

@Dezzy70 Haha, I will be on my best behaviour!

@Dezzy70 I did the same. I've just sold my PS5 after getting a Series X

@Sol4ris I agree with this for sure. I'd just accept defeat on this one.

Is this the usual process then? Drag your feet for so long that you can see bone and then ask the public which are undoubtedly pro PlayStation.

Still haven't played The Stanley Parable!

@BattousaiOP Absolutely nailed it. I didn't see this comment before, thank you @Banjo-

@Titntin We know that Microsoft aren't without their faults, only too well. And as people have mentioned here; these companies don't particularly care about us and it's absolutely true. If all of us on here didn't buy a single game from now on, on either platform, it wouldn't even appear on their radar. It does feel though that whatever Xbox does is bad, whether or not Playstation have done exactly the same thing.

@Banjo- Hell yeah! I honestly never thought I'd see such games as those on Xbox!

@Sol4ris @Banjo- Yeah absolutely! If the shoe was on the other foot and Sony this wouldn't have been a problem at all.

I'm absolutely amazed that Xbox were allowed to even mention the likes of Persona, let alone bring it to Game Pass.

@Sol4ris Nobody mentions the agreement regarding the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Microsoft, no matter what they do, will always be seen as the enemy.

@Zucaritas Been wanting to play Soma for ages! It looks so good.

GameSpot giving the lowest score. Shocker.

I don't claim to know anything about coding, developing or the like but I've played my fill of 30fps games now. I will skip this, not as a protest against the devs or anything like that, but for myself. Plus my backlog still exists.

@LukePS7013 ahh fair enough. I didn't realise it had been cancelled. Thank you for the link, I'll have a look now!

Wasn't Scalebound complete and ready to release? What actually happened with that because I remember it looking awesome.

i get it, they wanted to bring Game Pass to other consoles via XCloud. Not a native app to download the games to, that would be detrimental to Xbox's sales without a doubt. Mind you, that said, I wouldn't have a Playstation, I prefer Xbox hardware, always have and always will.
