@Titntin same here but I want the game to be good. Thankfully 2023 has a lot of great games.

@Cashews I really like it. Used to play a lot of the series years ago and this is a nice golf game up there with the previous titles. Good visuals and fairly easy for multiple skill levels to adapt to.

Already have one with a 1TB expansion (got a good price on it). I’m good unless it dies. I’ve played a lot of games on the S. Perfect complement to my X.

I’m disappointed that the “power narrative” was incorrect, but I also understand that most games aren’t taking advantage of all that’s there with the Series X. I have had a lot of fun with the X and S both though, so I can’t really complain.

If PlayStation is really releasing a Pro though, one would have to think Xbox needs to do the same.

If it had launched with 1TB some would find something else to complain about. They’re giving options, nobody is obligated to buy anything.

Have played on Series X and S both, can confirm it runs beautifully. Granted it’s probably not pushing any of the current gen systems particularly hard, but it’s nice to see a more polished experience. Definitely a meaty game.

Will be the same game as 2023’s version.

Deal is DOA. Move on and fix your studios already in-house.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner exactly. There are always far fewer Xbox reviews on Metacritic as well, often leading to lower scores.

So Push Square got a code but not Pure Xbox?

Fight fire with fire

No longer that interested at 30 FPS. Sad because it was one that I was really looking forward to.

To be see when? In 2030?

Sold my Day One XBone as soon as I got my Series X.

@Romans12 agree with you, even though it’s not a popular sentiment. This generation has been laughably mismanaged.

Don’t even care at this point. 1st party is a disaster for the most part lately, save for Hi-Fi RUSH.

They dropped the visuals to PS5 level because they were better on Series X. Sony admitted they watch and pay attention to Digital Foundry.

Jade Empire is $2.49 USD.

Would rather have the Halo Version or an Elite 3.

@KonstantTrouble that’s a big concern of mine as well.

Didn’t have much experience with Diablo prior, as it just wasn’t my type of game (did play some Diablo III), but played it pretty extensively both weekends. It’s definitely a lot of fun with friends and I will be buying it for sure. There are a couple of classes which suit my play style and made it very enjoyable. I think many people will be drawn to this game, including players new to the series.

Oh no, God forbid Xbox have any exclusives.

Already preordered and downloaded the Deluxe Edition.

Played a few matches on launch day. Had some of the framerate issues here and there, but had a lot of fun. I have always enjoyed this game and will continue to do so.

Yay, another delay. Was supposed to release in June.

@Magabro well to be fair, how did that feeling/impression come to be? Self-inflicted by Xbox themselves mostly.

Wow, another game performing horribly on Xbox? Shocker.

The problem these days is social media and false outrage. If you completely revamp the formula, 80% of Twitter and “gaming press” will be screaming “THIS ISN’T FORZA HORIZON AND I’M NOT PLAYING THIS GARBAGE” or similar. So it puts Playground and MS in a weird place. Make the comfort food or be bold.

@Meehanuk_1987 that’s really the thing nobody is saying. We’re halfway through the generation and barely have any big 1st party games. I’m not without games to play thanks to 3rd party and GP, but definitely feel like I invested way too much in Xbox this generation. Lesson learned.

Beat it a few days after launch. Great surprise of 2023.

Of course not. When does Xbox ever put Xbox players first?

@GunValkyrian seems like

Wish Phil was “excited” to bring us Xbox users 1st party games…

Xbox underperforms yet again. The most notable trend of this generation. 😢

Another delay on the horizon it seems. Definitely won’t land by Summer.

2010 was great. Still remember getting it launch day and laying it that weekend. Still have it in fact.

@abe_hikura let off the gas on the tightest turns while hitting LT. On smaller curves it’s not necessary, but there’s a nuance with it along with using the sticks. It takes a little getting used to, but once it clicks, it clicks. Plus every car handles completely different, so find one you like and keep upgrading it.

Probably the most underrated arcade racer of this generation so far. It’s a gorgeous game with loads of nostalgia, and it’s just plain fun. I now have it on all 3 consoles. I like it that much, and it’s cheap right now to boot.

Starting legit think this is the last generation of Xbox as we know it.

Their marketing was already terrible.

Hi-Fi Rush and Goldeneye were the highlights for me. Monster Hunter Rise isn’t my favorite genre, but is a fun game.

Hi-Fi is already in my personal top 10 games.

Wow so no refund on my money huh.

Hot Wheels Unleashed is a great arcade racer. Looks like all the DLC will be there as well. Recommend checking it out if you like fun racing games.

I never get these kind of deals. Or the free gift amounts of $5-$10 they do every year. Yet I have 3 current gen Xboxes in my house, GamePass Ultimate, and frequently buy things from the Xbox store. Just unlucky I guess.

It’s a shame it’s getting a lower score on Metacritic due to one review. It deserves a 90+. It’s really a great game.

Delayyyyyyy, delayyyyyy, the Xbox wayyyyyy.

I’m very excited for this year’s lineup, but it looks like both Forza and Starfield are slipping to late in the year. I get it that we need the best game(s) possible, but man, can they ever live up to their promises?

No release date. Typical of Xbox. Tired of the endless hype and wait.

@Dezzy70 why? Because you don’t want it?

Yeah, I’ve learned not to get hyped about anything with Xbox the last 7-8 years. Anything good that might happen is just a welcome surprise.

@Dezzy70 can always count on seeing a post from you when there’s negativity or a perceived problem with Xbox. You’re not always wrong, but you sure do seem to take delight in it.

Not buying from LRG. Hopefully will be available at other retailers.
