@FenIsMightier Right, cuz "I don't have much time for video games these days, and I've also increasingly lost interest in it as a medium" has all to do with "trash" and not your lack of time/desire to play it... If you are gonna gripe about game quality, at least quantify what quality looks like to you. What you are saying just comes across as smugness when it sounds like you really just have other priorities.

@FenIsMightier So, because you aren't a gamer anymore, that means Game Pass is a bad value? Sounds like a you problem.

@Sol4ris Can't sue Microsoft for a 3rd party decision. If 1st party did that, they may have a class-action case, but even then, depends on the fine print.

I can wait forever. This game looks like crap. More likely it won't even make a profit on Xbox so they aren't in any rush. This game looks like a 360 game. So the S being the issue is BS IMO.

Why the crap would you make it a lesser Playstation design and not even make it wireless and no rear buttons? Can you fail any harder?!?!

Ubisoft is a joke

Did this guy ever play Skyrim, Fallout or any Bethesda game? They've always has the simplistic style start menu... Such a stupid thing to gripe about in the first place...

@Grackler You cannot buy on the xbox.com website?

"Backwards compatible titles will also still remain purchasable on the modern Xbox Store if they're available on there." Whew, this was the part I was worried about. So, just closing on 360 consoles. Not as bad as I feared.

@J_Mo_Money Have to imagine there will be.

Game was excellent! Well deserved.

@Exerion76 It means it isn't getting delayed again.

So Prey Multiplayer

@somnambulance I agree. People will end up not public chatting at all just to cut out the risk. This will hurt team deathmatch games where communication with strangers on your team can impact how well you do. Gonna eventually be party chat or no chat at all for people.

The fact that people are madder that they can't more easily ban people for a year vs it being harder to says a lot about the state of society today...

People will just revert to code words and Ned Flanderisms. Which I'm all for. This stuff never works like intended and usually just pisses more people off on mistaken bans having to be repealed just to appease the faux offended people.

@OrfeasDourvas I hope so.

@Kaloudz If pants means underwear, why isn't it called underwear? ;P

@Cashews And yet the practice of buying exclusivity has worked wonders for Sony.

Upgrade? Good game, but not sure how much more you can upgrade a game that's visually out of the 90s

@EVIL-C Nice 8 days later comment and that's the best joke you could come up with? Expected nothing less from a "proud" Canadian though aye.

I'll need to finish Prodeus if that ends up being true. Only game that really drew my attention.

@OriginalDrGonzo or general consensus amongst critics, users and sales lol. Glad you like it though. But you are a minority.

Underwhelming game

Tends to happen when your game isn't good.

This is a great game! I beat it on Switch and thoroughly enjoyed it. This and Celeste I highly recommend.

Be nice if they would just adopt the "Hall Effect" joysticks from the Dreamcast era that are very slowly being introduced via 3rd party. Drift is like 95% of the problems for people...

@Tharsman yeah I'm sure Microsoft won't be listening at all... But hey, you can be a proud acolyte.

@Tharsman or you could just block and mute as you say instead of having big brother Microsoft always listening in...

@Tharsman I said "party chat conversations should remain private". Party chat isn't just talking to a stranger in a COD lobby. And you contradicted your point by saying you can just mute and block them.

Way to go out with a blip... I mean, both these games look decent. But, I really thought they'd bring in a big fish for the finale.

This sounds good on it's face, but I'm not a fan of it. People play games to relax, not walk on eggshells. And you'll get those who will bait people then record them. And party chat conversations should remain private. Sure, I'd love to see the more obscene stuff gone. But I'll take the good with the bad vs the alternative...

But its open world and Ubisoft loves open world. #fireyves

@StonyKL I hear what you are saying, but you don't grade a market by employees, but by profit share.

@StonyKL They effectively aren't lol! Microsoft being a larger corporation doesn't make XBox the gaming market leader...

@StonyKL You act like MS is the market leader lol! Sounds like Blockbuster screaming at big bad Netflix and their "sTrEaMiNg SeRvIcEs"

"happy to announce the partnership" is right...

Game looks last gen, and they blame the SSD? Nah, I don't buy it one bit. Sounds like the dev doesn't know how to optimize well if that's an issue for them.

The poll premise is wrong if it includes and expansion. It's not just for early access.

@themightyant I believe as long as you download them before it ends you can play them whenever. That's been the case in previous years.

I don't get what all the hype is about with this game. I played the beta and wasn't impressed. The maps are way too small, to the point where you often get spawn camped. The graphics are incredibly last gen and so is the gunplay. Got old fast. I'm desperate for something new in the genre too and this ain't it for me...

Why play Exo One when you can play Exo Primal??!?!

Are half these games even considered games? Looking forward to Cocoon a lot though.

@Cikajovazmaj describing something that isn't a monopoly then sharing the definition of a monopoly doesn't change that your description doesn't match it. Might want to wait until the 3rd place brand can even become the market leader before you even consider talking about monopoly dangers. Sony is a much higher monopoly risk right now, and even they aren't close yet.

@Chaotic_Neutral Redfall is an exceptionally bad example lol! You wouldn't want to play that at 120fps much less 30fps. Most XBox games manage 60fps just fine too. It's a matter of the type of game it is usually, with the exceptions of bad devs and Redfall.

@Chaotic_Neutral a 60fps racer is a lot more easily achievable than a 60fps open universe game. 99.99% of gamers can handle 30fps just fine. Sorry your situation is uniquely different, but it's not the standard and 60fps is not the standard yet on any console. It is for certain genres, but not for massive open world games yet clearly. Hopefully, they'll get a downrezzed, 60fps option or VRR feature that'll work for you at some point.

People love to crap on this soo hard, yet we all play the shizz out of Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. The odds are high this will be a great game that will have many hours spent on it by many people.
