Man, I don't care about next gen. And it's not just an Xbox thing. Neither Xbox nor Sony have done anything with the current generation. Of course there has been a few games (most third party) that were really good, but it still feels like this generation hasn't started yet. Even most of those good games were released on last-gen consoles too.
If next-gen is around the corner, I hope it's as irrelevant as this one because I'm not upgrading to whatever Xbox or Sony make. Probably can wait like six years before a real need.
I really don't stop buying a game in the hopes that it comes to Game Pass. And have even bought a lot of games that are already there to play at my own pace.
That said. Yeah, there wasn't a need for this so, I guess that shows in the sales numbers.
Before having my first Xbox (a Series S) I almost bought a One S thinking they were the same thing. After a little researching there were no more problems. But yeah, not the best naming.
I guess I see why so many chase the GaaS model. When it's big it's BIG. Still, it always feels like a gamble. It's not my cup of tea, personally. I prefer single player games, but I can see how the big suits see those numbers and want a piece of the pie. Should see the numbers of the ones that fail, too. π
Call of Duty first seems to be saying the ActiBlizz adquisition was a good idea. For Microsoft at least. Not for me. I have to pay more because of a game I don't even like.
All of those "play it Day One with Game Pass" from the showcase sound like a lie now. Before it was only one tier without Day 1 games. Now it's only just one the one that gives you access to them.
I will only suscribe for a month now and then when there is something I really want to play. Getting rid of Game Pass Console is a middle finger for me in particular.
Latin America. Wouldn't say it's cool, just that physical is way too expensive. π All the games that come here get a really bad spike in price. It's cheaper just to import from USA or Japan but my experience with that has been terrible (stuff missing) so I just buy digital.

Re: Black Myth: Wukong Final Trailer Shows Us What We're Missing On Xbox This Month
I don't mind waiting. We'll probably get a version with some patches and less bugs.
Re: Borderlands Described As 'Worst Movie Of The Year' By Harshest Critics
Didn't even like the games that much, doubt the movie would interest me.

Nothing for me so far, but that's okay. Big backlog.

Man, I really want to play it. I don't even know what the heck to play right now because I'm waiting for this game.
Re: Here's What Might Be Leaving Xbox Game Pass In September 2024
Nothing that really interests me, fortunately.

I normally don't like cats but I preordered Gori.
Volgarr II too, because the first one was pretty cool.
Re: Xbox Shares Updated Release Schedule For Major Upcoming Games
The only one I was interested in was Avowed... Oh well.

Resubbed to Game Pass to play WWE 2K24. I just do the created characters story mode (MyRise).
That'll be my weekend.
Re: Free Play Days: Try These Xbox Games For Free (August 1-4)
@FraserG
Seems like it's included now? I'm thinking of resubbing just for this.
Re: Braid: Anniversary Edition 'Sold Like Dogs**t', Says Creator
I really don't stop buying a game in the hopes that it comes to Game Pass. And have even bought a lot of games that are already there to play at my own pace.
That said. Yeah, there wasn't a need for this so, I guess that shows in the sales numbers.
Re: Free Play Days: Try These Xbox Games For Free (August 1-4)
Might have resubbed to Game Pass if it was 2K24.
Re: All New Xbox Games Coming Out In August 2024
I have a feeling Dustborn will end up on Game Pass sooner or later.
Just Outlaws for me. Will be playing the games in my backlog until then.
Re: Star Wars Outlaws Hands On Preview - An Undeniable Star Wars Adventure Despite Its Flaws
I'm already sold. Can't wait! I'll try to finish a few games because this one will have all my atention.
Re: Here's Your First Look At Gameplay For 'Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions'
Interested for sure!
Re: Two More Games Strongly Rumoured For Xbox Game Pass In August
Nothing for me to be honest.
Re: These 10+ Games Are Coming To Xbox Next Week (July 29 - August 2)
Mars 2120 sounds interesting, but I've never liked Symphony of the Night, so I'll wait amd see.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 27-28)
I'm close to finishing Far Cry 6, so I'll be playing that. If I do, I'll still have the DLCs. And Primal.
Really enjoyed it so far.
Re: Four Years Later, People Are Still Getting Confused By Xbox's 'Horrible' Console Names
Before having my first Xbox (a Series S) I almost bought a One S thinking they were the same thing.
After a little researching there were no more problems.
But yeah, not the best naming.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Buying In The Xbox Summer Sale This Year?

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood (liked Gunslinger)
Terminator: Resistance
Super Rebellion
Gleamlight
Samurai Shodown (with all the DLCs)

A few of those are for the last sale I think but I can't remember which.
Re: It's Official! Call Of Duty: MW3 Joins Xbox Game Pass This Wednesday
Game Pass for Console isn't even available anymore in my region. So just Ultimate I guess.
Re: Tomba! Special Edition 'Not Planned' For Xbox Despite Recent ESRB Rating
Don't really care too much about this one to be honest. I'm tired of remakes, remasters and collections.
Re: Xbox Reportedly 'Exploring Potential' For Various New Game Pass Tiers
Give me back Game Pass Console with Day 1 games, Microsoft.
Re: 'SNK Vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos' Is Back, But There's No Sign Of An Xbox Release
Oh sh#t, here we go again.
Re: Analyst Expects Xbox Game Pass To Bring In 'Almost $5.5bn' In 2025
Into "effect", I think.
I guess if the numbers are true Microsoft would see no reason to do this again.
Re: Talking Point: How Hyped Are You For Indiana Jones On Xbox Series X|S?
Zero, really. Never watched an Indiana Jones movie, and I don't normally like first person games so I'm definitely not the target audience.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 20-21)
Finished Far Cry 5 and Far Cry New Dawn so I'm now playing Far Cry 6. Liking it so far.
Re: Talking Point: Do You Think This Generation Will Be A Short One?
What are you talking about? It hasn't started yet.

Already preordered. Excited to play it for the first time.

It's there on the article, man...
Re: Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora Has A Free Xbox Trial Until The End Of July
I have to see the movies first but I really wanna play this one, so maybe I'll try it.
Re: Xbox Studios 'Player Numbers' Graphic Provides Interesting Look At Microsoft's Most-Played Franchises
I guess I see why so many chase the GaaS model. When it's big it's BIG. Still, it always feels like a gamble.
It's not my cup of tea, personally. I prefer single player games, but I can see how the big suits see those numbers and want a piece of the pie. Should see the numbers of the ones that fail, too. π
Re: Analysts Claim Xbox Game Pass Price Hikes Were 'Inevitable', And That An Ad-Tier Could Be Next
I would go for the ad version tbh as long as it doesn't interfere with cutscenes.
Re: Talking Point: If You Had To Limit Yourself To Three Xbox Games, What Would They Be?
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Persona 4 Golden, probably.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 13-14)
Finished Far Cry 5 for the second time. I think I'll be playing New Dawn now.
Re: Free-To-Play Xbox Shooter 'The First Descendant' Hits Incredible Player Milestone
But certain blue website gave it a 3/10. Surely all these players are wrong.
Re: Here Are The Top 10 Most Popular Trailers From The Xbox Games Showcase 2024
Call of Duty first seems to be saying the ActiBlizz adquisition was a good idea. For Microsoft at least.
Not for me. I have to pay more because of a game I don't even like.
@FarmDog08
Best trailer on the show.
Re: Xbox Game Pass Member Sale Raises Hopes About Call Of Duty Coming To The Service
All of those "play it Day One with Game Pass" from the showcase sound like a lie now. Before it was only one tier without Day 1 games. Now it's only just one the one that gives you access to them.
Re: Reaction: Microsoft's Constant Tweaking Of Xbox Game Pass Is Becoming Exhausting
Console > Standard
Re: Talking Point: Do You Ever Pre-Order Xbox Games Anymore?
Is this an old poll I might have voted on? Because I can't vote.
But yes, I do it all the time, but mainly indie games.
Re: PSA: Don't Forget, There Are Ways To Save Money On Xbox Game Pass
I will only suscribe for a month now and then when there is something I really want to play.
Getting rid of Game Pass Console is a middle finger for me in particular.
Re: 'Double Dragon' Is Officially Getting A 3D Revival On Xbox In 2025
Going 3D Streets of Rage style.
So Double Dragon (DD) it's now gonna be DDD. ,π
I like quite a few of the games in the series so I'm interested.
I'll alao use this chance to say again that Gaiden is underrated.

@FraserG
Thanks for all the news today, even when it's bad news, it's still really appreciated. ππ»
Take a break, man. π
Re: Reaction: Microsoft's Constant Tweaking Of Xbox Game Pass Is Becoming Exhausting
I just want the catalogue+ Day 1 games without having to pay for online.
Re: Here's A Complete List Of All Price Increases Coming To Xbox Game Pass
At least don't take away Console tier... Xbox always caring about their users.
