Re: Phil Spencer Says Xbox 'Needs To Improve' Its Development Process

awp69

Good interview. I have a Series X, PS5 and Switch and still play my Series X more than anything. As for Sony, I’m just getting bored of the same formula over and over again. I like that risks are being taken, even if they fail, because there’s more games than I can ever play to begin with. Hi-Fi Rush was amazing and Tango went way out of its comfort zone for that.

Anyway, could care less about people who are “done” with Xbox. I still see a bright future with a wide variety of games in the works.

Great month even outside of Redfall. Cassette Beasts has been getting amazing reviews and can’t wait for it to come to console. The first Fuga was awesome so glad the sequel is on GamePass. Ravenlock looks good and The Bunker has the potential to be the best of the Amnesia games. Good stuff!!!

Re: Report: Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Reassures Employees Following UK ActiBlizz Decision

@Kaloudz There’s discussion from several respected analysts on Twitter that the UK government getting involved could lead to it getting overturned. Windows Central was the first to report that the UK government was going to “engage” Microsoft over the matter.

Here’s one thread:

Know Twitter isn’t always the best news source but I follow some of these guys that know what they’re talking about.

The UK government is not happy about what MS said yesterday.

Re: Xbox Exec: Diversity Of Content Is What Makes Game Pass So Valuable

@Snake_V5 Wo Long Fallen Dynasty and The Show 23, just to name a few recent titles, are mediocre? News to me.

And as I said before, I’d consider Hi-Fi Rush to be AAA. Certainly feels and plays like a AAA title and better than most of them. Guess A Plague’s Tale: Requiem is surely a mediocre piece of trash too.

There’s been plenty of good AAA games.

I actually completely agree with this. I like discovering new indies and AA games on GamePass. It’s a big part of why I have been more than happy with my sub.

And we’ve been doing pretty well with AAA games as well with the likes of MLB 23, Atomic Heart and Wo Long Fallen Dynasty in recent months. I’d even argue that Hi-Fi Rush was a AAA game. But people have to find something to complain about.

Re: Ubisoft Plus Launches Today On Xbox, Full Lineup And Price Details Revealed

awp69

@Stormageddon It’s not a bum deal because no one in their right mind is going to pay for this. Almost all of the games can be had dirt cheap so people who want to play them already own them. The only ones that aren’t on sale for low prices regularly are the brand new ones like Anno 1800 that aren’t on PS Plus Premium.

When all those AC games went to PS Plus one month and people went wild thinking it was the best thing ever, I kind of chuckled knowing how little value they really are when people buy them on sale for 80% off. And also why everyone is also laughing at this ridiculous plan.

Oh and there are a bunch of Ubisoft games on GamePass already such as AC Origins and Odyssey and Immortals Fenyx Rising.

Re: These Five Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (April 4-18)

@themightyant Yeah, quality is better than quantity. We’re getting -The Show ($70), Ghostwire Tokyo ($60) and Minecraft: Legends ($40) and other good games like Loop Hero (also new) this month. How is $170 in new games plus others not a good month?!? It’s a BETTER value than many of those 12 game months. Definitely not “reducing” the service.

But people will always find something to complain about…

Re: Pick One: What Was Your Favourite Xbox Game Pass Game In March?

awp69

@Novs Yeah, two brand new games that would cost $60-$70 each is really light…

I’d much have big new releases than a bunch of older games. But to each their own. Saved me $130 just on those two games in one month. Plus other games that I enjoy. One of the best months ever of GamePass for me!!!
