Aaron Greenberg full of crap as usual. Hyped up day 1 as something that us Xbox fans would be in for a big treat when really the show was total rubbish.

Played multiplayer for the first time in years and I actually really enjoyed it. The only thing I really dislike though is the amount of adware in the menus! There is too much going on for my liking.

@WhiteRabbit Take my upvote and get outta here! Ha

Ugh, what a mess!

Maybe if Microsoft stopped making ridiculous decisions that ***** over their loyal fans, then this might be different.

Am reeeeeally getting tired of Microsoft’s nonsense lately. Like can’t they do anything … just right?! Every single thing from them just seems to be confusing and complicated now. I absolutely love Xbox but it really feels like they are a complete shambles at the moment, and it only looks like getting worse.

Will games that are on sale now.. be possibly further discounted in the main sale? Or is this as good as it’s going to get?

Really excited for gaming over the next 12 months. I have some great games in my wishlist that are already out but there are some great games (both exclusive & non excl) that are being released over the next 12-18 months. I still have a feeling we will see something big announced in terms of hardware towards the end of the year.. perhaps the rumoured handheld device or something?

Anno 1800 was a game I always wanted to get into but I get the impression you need to dedicate a lot of time into picking up the basics!

Missed the live show but got to watch the replay just now! And damn am I happy!.. this is the showcase that us Xbox fans have been waiting for and deserved! So many great titles and lots of them are day 1 on game pass. Delighted would be an understatement!

@FraserG Great, Thank you

Will there be a link setup in advance for where to catch a repeat of the show? I might not catch it live but I don’t want to see any spoilers while searching for the repeat showing.

Again another measly discount on Alan Wake 2, pathetic. Prince of persia may as well just stay permanently at 29.99

What are people’s thoughts on this if they announce a price increase for game pass? Say if they increase it by $5 a month, you’re effectively just paying a $60 a year to play COD

Hellblade, Lords of the fallen, & Immortals of Aveum.. a bit win for Game pass this month.

Okay what on earth is going on with Team Xbox? With the recent cuts, the threat of more cuts, and now potentially a further price increase for game pass?!.. it’s like they are trying to push people (including loyal fans) away!

Genuine question folks.. to people saying that you are done with your Xbox.. will you go to PC? Playstation? Nintendo?

Really happy about the 60 fps option and I am looking forward to getting stuck into Starfield when the update is released. I understand 60 fps is not important for everyone one, but for me personally it’s a big deal!

Gets announced in June, releases 3 years later.

Vote with your wallets, folks.

Looks interesting, I never played the first one.. could you play in 3rd person?

Please don’t pre order this folks, companies need to learn that they need to release a polished game to earn peoples money.

Really looking forward to house flipper 2. I can’t seem to find a price though, I hope its not more than €30 or else I’ll wait for a sale!

Alan wake 2 is a whole whopping 20% off. Oh yayyy. Pathetic

Once again day 1 buyers get burned and I have to say that I have no sympathy for them. I will consider getting DD2 in 6 months time when its patched up and 30% off.

I know it would never happen, but I would love it if unlocking achievements in a game also gave you points as well as gamerscore. So for example, if you unlock a 10G achievement, you get 10 points too, and so on. Like I said…. That’s wishful thinking!

@Ricky-Spanish Haha cheers! I’m loving your username too btw, big fan of American dad.

The only game currently on my wishlist is Alan Wake 2, but I won’t buy it unless its at least 40% off so I don’t have high hopes I’m afraid!

How will this podcast work? Is it live ? Or is it recorded and then released at the times mentioned above

I’m really getting tired of all of these nonsense rumours. I really wish we would stop posting rubbish until MS at least releases their update.

"the most enjoyable game in the franchise" …. Right

They have literally told us what they will be showing off and yet people still go and create rumours about other things happening, really annoys me. Just look forward to the content they have told us about!

A shame we have to wait so long but I can’t wait!

I think Microsoft deserves a lot of credit for this announcement. Kept it under wraps, then announced it with only a week to go, and they clearly outline exactly what will be shown/discussed. No unnecessary chinese whispers etc. Can’t wait.

Sorry folks, I know this is off topic so forgive me.. but is there section on Pure Xbox to find/meet new xbox friends to play with? I had a quick look on the forums but didn’t see anything thread etc. I would like to just find some similiar minded & aged players for multiplayer games or just general party chat

Thanks

Why would you need to know my household income?

I don’t mean to hate on it but to me this sale is disappointing. I have 7 games on my wishlist and the best deal I have on offer is Dead island 2 at €42 which is still a bit steep for me. Considering its the ‘biggest sale of the year’ it’s definitely not great.

Is the immortals of aveum deal over? It says 39.99 for me

I certainly won’t be getting my hopes up for anything good to be announced. A remake or two and probably a price increase for game pass, that’s about it.

Looks like I will be buying this in about 6 months time for half the price. Some reviews were saying it had a lot of performance issues, I'm sure they will patch it up, but as I say... 6 months and I will buy it.

Tempted to give this a go as I was a hardcore fan of MW2 (2009).. but it pains me to give any money to activision considering how greasy they are.

A big shout out to all those who bought the premium version… thanks for being beta testers for the rest of us!

@Kaloudz Is it 100% coming out day 1 on Ubisoft + on xbox? Just want to make sure before I make my decision!

Delighted to see it get a great review! I don't usually buy games day 1 but I might treat myself. I will either subscribe to Ubisoft + for one month, or else buy a physical copy and sell afterwards. What is everyone else doing??

I’ll probably get slammed for saying this, but I really hope that there is an easy difficulty setting on this. I’m not great at these games even though I wish I was!

I would really like to play this 4k 60fps. I am considering building a high end gaming PC. With the list of great games coming out (looking at you starfield), I am really thinking of going for it. Has anyone else done the same? I will also be looking to play stalker 2 and maybe forza, so will really get a lot of use from the game pass!

It performs like an xbox one game at best. Tbh, there are some moments in the game that look like it’s an original Xbox game.

Right, just re-read and saw it ends August 9th. Well, hopefully they decide to continue the promotion for a bit longer.

Am I right in saying that the new AC: Mirage is coming to Ubisoft + on Day 1? If so, I hope they keep this €1 offer going until it’s released!

@AvalancheRyder I know what you mean. I love the convenience of consoles and just love the Xbox but seeing most new/big games coming out capped at 30fps matters to me. I’m just unsure if it’s worth spending the money on a monster PC rig.
