@Godot25 @Banjo- 505 still owns the publishing rights to the first game (for PC) and since tomorrow is the 5th anniversary, I reckon they're getting it out now cuz of expired contracts. Now the second game is locked down cuz it's fully published by Sony.
After watching the teaser, I thought that they're pulling a 'Jumanji Movie' genderswap for Mamoa's character. but reading the plot and seeing that he's "The Garbage Man", kinda creepy 1st impression for the Minecraft film. Plus swearing in the line is indeed a choice.
@S1ayeR74 A long time. Last year Horizon 1, 2 and F&F shut down after nearly a decade. Online for Horizon 3 and Motorsport 5+6+7 is "still active", albeit quite shoddy as of late.
@Sol76 @Lucylu1983 @Aidax89 I think the official messaging said that you needed a fully paid GP subscription, I used the 3-year GP loophole so I think that's why I didn't get a code.
Forza Horizon 3 - Hot Wheels. The most fun I've ever had in a DLC back as a kid, It and Blizzard Mountain makes FH3 my favorite game of all time. Other highlights include the Sunset Overdrive expansions, the GTA4 Episodes + Undead Nightmare.
Pretty lame bundle honestly. No Vault Boy/Girl, Ghoul or even Bottle & Cappy operator skins makes this a huge miss. Having T-51 Power Armor as a Juggernaut skin similar to the Warhammer crossover would've been nice to see too.
Yeah, I'm holding off until it's inevitably patched along with 60fps. Like c'mon, if Starfield gets 60fps, so can Hellblade 2!
Also screw this "cinematic" BS, YOU ARE MAKING A GAME! YOU ARE CATERING TO GAMERS!! MOST OF US DON'T CARE ABOUT THESE HANDICAPS!!!
I hands down think they're doing this as TGA bait cuz journalists will eat it up anything artsy. I really really would like to play AAA games at launch again, but they'll never be finished at launch anymore it seems.
The only CoD I haven't played in the Pre-WarZone Era is Infinite Warfare. I hear only great things about the campaign and I never hated the advanced movement so I'll touch it the instant it's on GP.
Fingers crossed for 🤞Big Red One🤞 & 🤞Finest Hour🤞
The ABK floodgates really needs to burst next month. They shouldn't wait till Keigh3 to dump the rest. I'm begging them to drop the Crash & Spyro trilogies ASAP.
Will this mean that the gravity hammer is gonna go back to normal? I'm tired of bonking dudes on the forehead and not even draining their shields, yet when they do the same, they cross-map my team along with erasing my entire family's lineage.
But hey, at least no more getting shot behind corners!!
With how 505 poorly handled the Ultimate Edition, this is stellar news. Remedy now owns both IPs in the 'REMEDY-VERSE', though Quantum Break is still canon in my heart.
It's sweet to see it (and apparently MFS'24) coming to Xbox day 1.
NO MORE SKIPPING YOUR OWN CONSOLE!!
Hoping Ara heads over after launch. Though is there a reason as to why AoE3 never came? (I know that AoE1 is DLC for AoE2)
Well, at least I'll be able to platinum Sea of Thieves on PlayStation (screw those legacy Arena achievements).
I'll stick to everything else on Xbox. For me, it feels better to play games on their released platforms (Halo on Xbox, Helldivers on PlayStation etc.), I still have that traditional console mindset.
Fear not everyone, Team Green has heard us and they are listening to our concerns and are actively planning on launching more 1st-party games to other systems to combat this situation.
Despite the lineups mostly being 'meh' and 'trash', losing a perk such as monthly games stinks when PS+ still does it. The games were small and unheard of enough to not be on GP, and getting random weird s**t pissed me off at first. But now they have me looking into smaller indie games cuz they have a higher shot at being worth my time. I genuinely had fun playing some games like Sudden Strike 4 and Lamentum (forgot the other games ATM), so I do kinda miss it since it's one less service to stuff my catalogue with games to experience.
Hate it when devs IMMEDIATELY delist their games following their final updates. They don't even give us time to panic buy their games. Still butthurt that I missed out on CrossfireX's Operation: Spectre.
HOLY HELL!!! And people got mad cuz GP & GPU got $1-2 increases!! This is outrageously bogus! Xbox Live/GP Core is still $60 a year for multiplayer, now PS+ Essential is $20 more.
These Activision games need to be saved. I never finished Crash: Mind over Mutant and I never got a hold of Blur, Gun, Singularity etc. Close the deal ASAP after UK ruling and resurrect the BC Program.
ONE.
LAST.
TIME.
For old times' sake.
.....yet. Come on, with Phil being at the FF14 event and the Squenix CEO promising better support for Xbox, it's surely gonna be present at TGS. And it is odd that the international Xbox accounts keep misinforming/leaking games that have yet to hit up Xbox and/or GP.
I thought that they were going to postpone their decision yet again for the 17th time until the CMA makes up their mind first. Finally, now Australia shouldn't be too far behind.
I was hoping they'd give out another 'February 2021' kind of lineup to send it off. This shows that whoever's in charge didn't care through to the end. Both games do look fine to me, and I'll surely play Blue Fire, but these 2 gave me a big fat case of 'wait...THAT'S IT?!' vibes. Nevertheless, RIP GwG, hello Xbox Game Pass Collection!

Re: Talking Point: Where Are All The ActiBlizz Titles On Xbox Game Pass?
@Hydralicmonkey How we didn't get 1+2 on the 25th anniversary is downright despicable.
Re: Surprise! Death Stranding Director's Cut Is Now Available On Xbox Series X|S
Now I just wanna know what the Xbox-specific hologram will be (PlayStation was Horizon's Tallneck and PC was Half-Life's Strider).

Sorry for not being related but Death Stranding: Director's Cut is out now on Windows and Xbox!
Re: These Three Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (September 19-24)
They're likely holding onto surprises for TGS and definitely dropping Tony Hawk 1+2 on the 29th. This ABK GP drip-feeding is ticking me off.

Re: 'Gears Of War: E-Day' Is The Next Instalment In Xbox's Famous Franchise
My only complaints are that this prequel isn't set during the Pendulum Wars, + now the main story won't conclude until the next decade...

Re: These Seven Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (January 18 - February 6)
With how much Phil keeps gushing about his love for Brotato, I knew it'd launch on GP for the Xbox release.
Re: Rumour: Xbox In 'Discussions' With Square Enix Over Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Patience pays off. Always. FF16 might just launch on Xbox alongside PC this year, same with Rebirth.

Re: Crash Bandicoot Dev 'Excited' About New Chapter With Team Xbox
Spyro 4 first, THEN Banjo-Fourie. It's only fair.
Re: Former Xbox Game Pass Title 'Second Extinction' Is Being Permanently Delisted

Re: Microsoft Is Buying Activision Blizzard, Reportedly For $70 Billion
The deal's done.....thank Christ.
Re: Talking Point: Which Activision Blizzard Series Do You Want To Play Most On Xbox Game Pass?
Spyro Trilogy first. I never caught that Egg Thief on PS2 as a kid and I seek vengeance.
Re: Talking Point: Will Activision Ever Get On Board With Xbox Game Pass?
never gonna happen 😏
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want To See From Xbox & Activision Blizzard?
Resurrect the BC program. We need MORE games back in our lives.

And just like that, history's been made and gaming's been saved!
Re: Reminder: Seven Games Are Leaving Xbox Game Pass Today (September 30)
@ralphdibny Plus its DLC just got announced, The Elder Veil. I would've been mad if I committed to its completion.
Re: Stalker 2 Developer Suffers From Fire In New Prague Offices
Damn, the devs are really going through actual development hell. Best of luck to them to getting this game finished & released.
Re: Xbox Unveils Starfield Vasco Funko POP!, Available To Pre-Order Now
Yeah, I agree, this is the only Funko I've seen that isn't flat-out ugly.
It genuinely looks awesome.

@senote Can you describe it, I can't think of any 360 games that were free, aside from demos.

Hmm I'm getting huge Crossfire❌ vibes from this news.....this better be better.

Re: Another Four Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass Soon (August 15)
Shame that Death Stranding for Windows never got the Director's Cut. Though it'd be funny if it does shortly after it leaves.

I was hoping they'd give out another 'February 2021' kind of lineup to send it off. This shows that whoever's in charge didn't care through to the end.

Re: Xbox Games With Gold For August 2023 Announced
Still couldn't give us more than 2 titles for the final month huh...yeah begone with this service. Both games do seem fun to me though NGL.
Re: Terminator: Resistance - Complete Edition Launches On Xbox Series X|S This October
About time the Xbox version got full parity, I've been holding off on this because of its incompleteness. Now if only Furi would do the same.
Re: Phil Spencer Played A Huge Role In Bringing Antstream Arcade To Xbox
What's next, Dolphin? It'd be nice to have more of these services on Xbox.
