@AhabSpampurse I certainly respect your viewpoint, but you more or less just proved my point. If this was Santa Monica or Insomniac, you’d have it pre-ordered already.
I’ve always been of the portable screens. Still have the PSOne with an LCD screen. Sure, it’s usefulness to most may be limited, but for travel or small spaces it’s cool.
Ot a good look all the way around. Xbox’s key franchise still can’t get a problem-free release. At this point it’s really a big bummer. More console war fodder to boot.
Negativity and fear-mongering. Screaming with your hair on fire before it’s really even an issue for 99% of people, and still tons of time to figure something out.
It’s actually fun. I usually hate online multiplayer, but I’ve helped win some matches, and cost my team some matches. It’s kind of addictive and easy to pick up, yet hard for me to master. Worth some time though.
Definitely more arcade, but some folks (like me) enjoy that. I also play Forza, GT Sport, etc., but sometimes you just want a fun, banging race. Plus I think the visuals look great on the Series X.
I just hate that people might be steered away from a fun experience because it’s not “sim” enough. I had a ball playing Dirt 5.
Phil is doing a fantastic job. So much excitement around the Xbox Ecosystem right now. It’s undeniable. Now just get those major 1st party games to us and it will be hard to stop the momentum.

Re: Xbox Game Studios' Deathloop Becomes One Of The Highest Reviewed PS5 Games Of 2021

Re: Halo Fans Want The Xbox Series X Limited Edition Controller To Be Sold Separately
I want the standard controller, but figure it won’t happen. Maybe they’ll release a different but also cool one.

Re: Halo Infinite Won't Include Co-Op Or Forge At Launch This Fall
Ot a good look all the way around. Xbox’s key franchise still can’t get a problem-free release. At this point it’s really a big bummer. More console war fodder to boot.

Can’t get Daytona USA to go through on 360 Marketplace. 😢

Codemasters still does great work, I don’t care what anyone says.
Re: Talking Point: Are Next-Gen Upgrades Worth Getting An Xbox Series X|S For?
@Hypnotoad107 agree with this take completely. Neither has a “strong library”, yet.

@Fenbops me too.

Actually looking forward to playing this. Looks like it could be great.
Re: Xbox Dev Responds To Report That DRM Is A 'Serious Problem' On Xbox Series X
Negativity and fear-mongering. Screaming with your hair on fire before it’s really even an issue for 99% of people, and still tons of time to figure something out.
Re: Hands On: Knockout City - Has The Potential To Be The Next 'Big' Thing
It’s actually fun. I usually hate online multiplayer, but I’ve helped win some matches, and cost my team some matches. It’s kind of addictive and easy to pick up, yet hard for me to master. Worth some time though.
Re: Talking Point: Six Months Later, What Are Your Thoughts On The Xbox Series X|S?
@Pigrotto agreed
Re: Dirt 5 Is Adding Free Content & Cross-Platform Matchmaking This Week
Nice! I like the ghost car option being added. This is a great arcade racer.
Re: Dirt 5 Brings The Noise In The New Uproar Content Pack
@JayJ late reply I know - but I like GRID as well. Arcade racers are my bag.

@JayJ spot on.
Re: Dirt 5's Player Numbers Have Been 'Shockingly Huge' On Xbox Game Pass, Says Dev
Possibly my favorite current game. I truly enjoy it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 24th)
MLB The Show 21, Dirt 5, GRID, maybe some HALO CE, will give WRC 9 a look.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Still Buy An Xbox Without Game Pass In 2021?
@GateCrasherUK that was my preferred option as well.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Still Buy An Xbox Without Game Pass In 2021?
I think Xbox has the better console, so I’d have still bought it. But GamePass is next level and I love it.
Re: Feature: Before It Leaves Xbox Game Pass, You Should Try Deliver Us The Moon
Wanted to play this, just too big a backlog sadly.
Re: Review: Outriders - People Can Fly's Looter Shooter Soars Into Action
It’s a little better than I thought it would be. I think those of you on the fence should give it a chance for a few hours. You may be surprised.
Re: Microsoft Is Giving Away Free Gift Cards For The Xbox Spring Sale 2021
Got my $5. Got a game my daughter wanted for $3.74 with that bad boy. Nice!

Re: Deals: The Best Bargains In The Xbox Spring Sale 2021
MX vs. ATV all out is $8.74. Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea but a fun game nonetheless.
Re: Dirt 5 Brings The Noise In The New Uproar Content Pack
It’s one of the most enjoyable games I’ve played in a while. I’m not sure why folks don’t like it. Sure it’s not sim, but it’s so fun.
Re: Pick One: Which Of These Classic Lord Of The Rings Games Was Your Favourite?
