New ips are great and all, but stop keeping all the ips you own under lock and key. I mean they own shadow run, StarCraft, hexen, geometry wars, Spyro, etc .. At least outsource the ips. You know sony would be milking these ips if they had the chance.
@Darude84 I agree the graphics were lackluster. It looks on par with ninja gaiden 1 on xbox. Ever since dark souls, seems like eastern devs seem to minimizing the graphics department.
i knew once they announced outer worlds 2 for 2005 they would have justification to push 1 to 2026. which sucks since i didn't like outer worlds 1 at all.
@awp69 nah he is pretty reliable, dont know why he gets so much hate. his only problem is leaking things that are in the early stages and fall through after negotiations. like that Wu Tang game that was suppose to be 2nd party deal.
they gave game of the year to astrobot lol. obviously originality isnt a major factor in the voting. lets see if Nintendo does to astro what they did with palworld.
Going to catch the recap on PureXbox, thank you very much. I treat this like i treat the NFL Draft. No need to suffer through the ads and monotony when i can get get the highlights the next day.
I'm glad they consolidated xbox console companion app and the Gamepass app into one. But i do wish they bring back the activity feed of you and your friends.
Dragon age origins is one of my favorite rpgs ever. So it's sad to say DA veilguard is a huge disappointment. They abandoned the dark fantasy and went with disney/Pixar graphics and setting. The millennial dialouge is jarring in a fantasy setting. And don't get me started on the forced political preaching ham fisting in the game.
This makes me very concerned for mass Effect 5. Bioware of old is definitely not the current bioware.
Zenimax forced them make a game they didn't want to make. You knew that, and you still closed them down when it didn't perform well. Only thing worse is closing tango when they made exactly what they wanted to critical acclaim and you still close. I'd imagine if they didn't acquire activ/blizzard they would still be around.
@DeanyBabyy in no world can the word terrible be associated with sod2. Unless your one if those overly eccentric types who makes a mountain out of a mole hill.
From the looks of it, its going to be the remaster of the playstation version as opposed to the Sega CD version that i grew up playing. oh well, its still lunar though. Might be my nostalgia, but i prefer the voice acting and even the music better on the Cd version.
I think this was planned before the acquisition of Bethesda. Would explain the shadow drop, they just wanted to get it out of the way so they can close them. It being actually good and public support was what they didnt anticipate. But they still went through with it.
@Godot25 do you even know what the take was? Wondering where your reading comprehension is at. You made the same point i made. Guess it was my fault for not spelling it out more with less nuance.
It all started with the xbox one. Worst name for a console ever. I bet they thought they were so smart at that boardroom. Instead of having a number before Playstation, lets make it even lower.
i remember when MS tried to be slick by raising the price of gamepass before the trial since doing it afterward would raise scrutiny of the acquisition. the fact that they would do it again before blackops drops on gamepass was ballsy move. "bold strategy cotton lets see how it pays off for them."
I'm sorry, locking "day 1" games behind the most expensive tier is lame. Wonder how the devs of those games feel about it. Now they are using "day 1 with gamepass" against their subscribers. They need to change the phrase to "day 1 with ultimate gamepass tier."

Re: Opinion: Thanks To Xbox Game Pass, I've Just Changed My GOTY For 2024
@FraserG same. Two pair and straight are the most played hands on every run I've had. So I build my joker deck as much towards those two as possible.

Prince of Persia plz.
Re: Opinion: Thanks To Xbox Game Pass, I've Just Changed My GOTY For 2024
I loved it, but I'm also really into poker as well so I'm the target audience. One of the harder rogue likes I've played, especially in the beginning.

Re: Reaction: Fable's Delay Is A Shame, But The New Gameplay Footage Looks Awesome
Hate to be that guy, but can we play as a male like in the original games? Seems like they are only ever showing this one character all the time.

Re: Lunar Remastered Collection Brings Retro JRPG Action To Xbox In Spring 2025
From the looks of it, its going to be the remaster of the playstation version as opposed to the Sega CD version that i grew up playing. oh well, its still lunar though. Might be my nostalgia, but i prefer the voice acting and even the music better on the Cd version.
Re: Roundup: All The Xbox Reveals From September 2024's State Of Play Event
glad lunar collection is coming to xbox. played it so much on the sega CD back in the day.
Re: Tango Gameworks Founder Thought Studio 'Would Be Safe' At Xbox Thanks To Hi-Fi RUSH

Re: Black Myth: Wukong Final Trailer Shows Us What We're Missing On Xbox This Month

Re: It's Official, Xbox's Avowed Has Been Delayed Until 2025
Well thats a bummer. Guess this means fable will be toward the end of the year. Unless MS did not learn its lesson about spacing their games out.
Re: Fallout: London Is So Good, Some People Think It's The 'Best Game Since New Vegas'
