We keep hearing how much more Xbox has made in revenue. But is this comparing to pre GP on xbox one when revenue was abysmal and in the xbox documentary they were talking about shutting down xbox?
Theres too many awards these days. Yes GP does provide great value but alot of these 60 games arent that good, just that one random outlet liked it and created an award go give it
Well outside of Halo, probably only played 3 games from xbox one onwards that werent back compatibility titles as i most play on PS and Switch. Only xbox game on the list thisyear is Starfield
I mean for some people they are not wrong. Ill probably grab Harry potter on PS5 and wait on Starfield at a later date. Assuming both of these games actually get released this year. But also Forspoken is in Oct so its about timing
@Chaudy xbox seems to live on the hype. They have some exciting prospects in Fable 4, Avowed, State of Decay 3, Perfect Dark, Elder scrolls 6, Outer Worlds 2 But were announced years ago with no info at all since announcing. God some of these were announced when i was in college still lol
Congrats but of the games i played above, Halo, Deathloop and Psychonauts, i only finished Halo which was kinda a let down for me. Only one on my list for xbox that has a date is Starfield
Given Microsoft’s tendencies of not releasing anything for the first 9 months of the year, they would be holiday 2023 at the earliest. I dont see Perfect Dark as we have heard nothing but issues with staffing, developing and having to bring in crystal dynamics. That has me skeptical
Guardians was probably my game of the year. Recommend to check out. Not super long at roughly 15 or 16 hours and a rare linear game in todays AAA releases
@BAMozzy im not saying anything bad about the subscription option to play many games, just an observation as to why sales may be low from what i have seen
@Royalblues dont know if they could buy sega. Its a Japanese company who would not want hostile foreign takeover. Moreover they are in a good position financially unlike Platinum Games who is about to go under likely. Thirdly their games players are on Playstation/Nintendo so u would likely face opposition there and potentially kill franchises
I miss the experience for wins that go towards your rank like halo 3. In terms of getting people to play objective, i feel that was great in helping towards that. But yeah i dropped off another 343 Halo very quick
I cant say Microsoft doesnt buy IP. Sony buys teams for the talent to make games and developer talent is more important in the end then IP. But then again Microsoft doesnt have financial constraints so who knows, but hope not
@StylesT im with interceptor, it was their best attempt and i think they got the gunplay down but still hasnt reached close to the bungie days as must plays
I have the S and am enjoying it. However i only grabbed it because it was easily available and i got tire of waiting for an X. I will eventually grab an X when theres an actual chance

Re: PlayStation's Game Pass Competitor Could Be Announced Next Week
Its not going to be gamepass. Their 1st party are too high quality and budget to put on subscription service day 1. Plus they sell well without

Re: Bizarrely, Some People Think Hogwarts Legacy Might Affect Starfield

Re: Deals: All 20+ Backwards Compatible Games In This Week's Xbox Sales (February 22-28)
They need to stop putting the same things in every week. Its pretty much Ubisoft. Need Portal to go on sale
Re: Street Fighter 6 Officially Revealed, No Word On Platforms Yet
@Ashadelo i mean xbox bought Bethesda and Activision. Thats pretty dirty right there.
Re: Microsoft Picked An Interesting Week To Start Acquisition Talks With Activision Blizzard
@Royalblues dont know if they could buy sega. Its a Japanese company who would not want hostile foreign takeover. Moreover they are in a good position financially unlike Platinum Games who is about to go under likely. Thirdly their games players are on Playstation/Nintendo so u would likely face opposition there and potentially kill franchises
Re: Xbox RPG Avowed Reportedly Targeting Early 2023 Release Date
When is the last time Xbox release anything in the first half of a year. Seems like they always just release stuff at the holiday season together

How close to going under is Platinum?

Re: Bonkers FPS 'Atomic Heart' Releases With Xbox Game Pass Later This Year
No confirmed date though, so could easily push to next year
Re: Xbox Boss Wants Starfield To Be The 'Most-Played Bethesda Game Ever'
Need better gamepass stats. How long are people actually playing and are games being finished. Also hard to hit when you take out playstation sales.
Re: Deals: All 20+ Backwards Compatible Games In This Week's Xbox Sales (February 8-15)
They need to put some new back compat titles on sale. Portal games, kingdom keflings or blinx would be nice

Re: Xbox Team Investigating Issues With Unresponsive Guide Button
Glad it wasnt just me
Re: Is It Worth Buying An Xbox One In 2022?
No the Xbox one runs so poorly and takes forever to do anything. The series s finally makes it not frustrating to actually play on an xbox
