@spoonman2 same here rewards app broken on the console keeps asking me to update location.

i buy more games because i discover more games on gamepass.

However i use my rewards points and get them on sale so sorry they dont actually cost me anything

@Lavalera yeah i did the same thing Alien isolation had been on gamepass for years so it was going to leave eventually so i got Alien isolation the collection with reward points as well when it was £8.99.

why do people care if Microsoft are making money out of gamepass?

as long as it makes financial sense for the devs and its a bargain for consumers who cares if if Microsoft doesnt get to put more money in the profit column

hardly anyone buys discs games on xbox as they have incentivised going digital by Gamepass and Microsoft rewards.

I if I buy a game i buy it digitally using my rewards points

it will be on EAplay on gamepass this time next year so i will play it then

some games got a resolution boost Gears of war 2 and gears 3 fallout 3 and fallout new vegas all run at 4k

"Separating and selling off the 'Call of Duty' part of the business"

ok just buy call of duty then Microsoft and then make it exclusive

Guardians of the galaxy fantastic game great characters and probably a better story than most marvel films

depends what difficulty your playing it. on harder difficulties its more survival horror

the remake is easier than the original

VR isnt going to take off as Sony are just about to find out again with PSVR2 that will most likely sell less than the original PSVR

@Stocksy

I do not agree with your opinion

it was a good game that they ruined by difficulty. the need to to keep replaying levels to get better to succeed made you feel you weren't getting anywhere

they designed it to take longer and be replayed where as people replay stuff because they enjoy it

@Stocksy the economies going into recession cutting costs and layoff staff if happening everywhere its the normal reaction to economic downturn just because Microsoft's got tons of money doesnt mean they wont try to run more efficiently

i think the error is they posted it rather than it was wrong it was probably they will back track and change the date but it will happen at a now later date but sooner rather than later

@shoeses the reason they stopped backwards compatibility is they dont own the games they have to get publisher permission to make a game backwards compatible because its software based backwards compatibility not hardware based. they ran out of games they could get permission for

just buy your 360 games on disc the consoles will still play them even when they are delisted.

unless youve got a series s then you probably dont care out discs anyway

I liked road 96 it was a good game that i would never have played if it wasnt on gamepass.

Sorry will still probably wait till it does turn up on gamepass

@Gamingforlife i have no interest in any of those games

Activison make 2 billion a year in profit so you spend $69 billion to make $2 billion doesnt make much sense to me

@NEStalgia yes sticks are replaceable are expensive considering the post of the actual parts. and them being replaceable basically admits they are a problem

the cost of these controllers should use hall effect sensors so they dont drift

give it time the dual sense edge will have snapped springs and stick drift like other ps controllers

unfortunately in the Uk you will have to use NOW tv as sky has the rights to HBO content

imagine they had actually spent $69 billion making games. thats 345 exclusives at $200 million each

im on xbox and I dont care about anything activision makes waste of $69 billion in my opinion could have been better spent elsewhere

they need outside writers to actually write a good story.

Mind you only 10% of people completed the campaign

I liked halo infinite campaign however i though the story was poor and being stuck to one location certainly curtailed some of the epicness of halo for me.

im not buying it as it will be on EAplay and therefore gamepass by this time next year

its telling only 10% of players completed the halo infinite campaign

New IP not selling is why we now get tons of sequels and remakes. its less of a risk in the AAA space

I will do my usual wait 2 weeks before playing it as patches to sort launch issues will be out by then

gears 1 already got remade and gears 2 and 3 run at 4k 60 now on series X

I think all games on Ubisoft + include all DLC

redfall
starfield
avowed
fable
perfect dark
forza
outer worlds 2
indiana jones game
wolfenstein ?
Gears ?

@grumpypotato yeah that paramount+ perk couldnt watch in on xbox no app couldn't watch it on tv no app i had to sit there on a laptop. joke

The Offer was a good show i watched on there about the making of the godfather

as soon as master chief took his helmet off i knew the show makers didnt get it

yes i watched it it wasnt good

so theyve included mobile games and pc in that stat which does skew it alot more digital

consoles sell more physical games that only 10%

@Gr81 i think its ok just not the amazing game the critics made it out to be.

prey moon crash already did it better and thats also made by arkane

its alright certainly no 10/10 though

starfield thats the one im most looking forward to

the series S is there so you can play the game if you want performance thats what the series X is for.

Digital foundry cant seem to get their head round that idea

ray tracing is a waste of resources anyway on console

these consoles arnt 4090s

Prey mooncrash did it better that Deathloop

would rather they didnt i thought it was an overrated game fine but certainly no where near a 10/10

there were a few games made by Microsoft that i liked
such as halo infinite, forza 5, grounded, deathloop, doom eternal, halo infinite, as dusk falls

Series S = B+
Series X =A
Gamepass = A
Microsoft rewards = A+
games B-

RT ray tracing seems like a waste of time and resources on console. its always is far too costly for what little difference it makes

didnt like the pitt update

havnt done Nuka world yet

personally i like fallout 76 its a really good map to go explore i dont engage with other players i just do the story quests. i haven't spent any money in it.

Ive enjoyed it more than fallout 4 but less than fallout 3 or vegas

"whether Microsoft would make certain gaming content and features exclusive to Xbox"

like Sony already does with call of duty
