Topic: General Xbox Series X|S Thread

@NintendoByNature Don't feed the trolls mate. With Indy, and Avowed posting great review scores that user has no idea what they are talking about. Just some PS fanboy that wondered in here that's all. Just look at their post history. All they do is post how bad MS is doing and how everything is a failure.

@Tasuki good call 👍

@NintendoByNature With that said I watched my son play about 2 hours of Avowed and it looks good. I posted my thoughts in the Avowed thread. I seriously want to play it but I need to finish Indy first before adding another game to my play list lol.

@Tasuki and I'll be playing it after I finish visions of mana, and then i went to start a quick game like alone in the dark. I just can't do avowed after a long jrpg in visions back to back.

@NintendoByNature Right you need that palette cleanser I understand. That's kind where I am right now. I want to start Avowed but I want to finish Indy first and even then I might play a shorter game after that due to the similar game play style that Avowed and Indy have just one is fantasy and one is set in World War II if that makes sense. But still loving what I have seen from my son playing it. The biggest take away I got from it is they allow alot of freedom with your character build it revolves more about how you play rather them oh you need to play a magic user here or stealth at this point.

@Tasuki very cool. It looks beautiful, so I'll definitely play at some point.

Great circle had even more dismal numbers than Avowed. Saying that game was successful when they had to pay for the license is impossible.

@VoidPunk How was Indy a catastrophe? Really great game that got excellent review scores and from most accounts was financially successful. Also, Flight Sim was bad at launch and got fixed quickly, and Avowed it's being really enjoyed by a lot of people (myself included). So, yeah, maybe chill out a little bit.

@VoidPunk I think it's really hard to consider Indy a failure due to low Steam numbers, considering that doesn't include game pass. All sources online seem to consider it a success. But even if it wasn't a financial success (which we can never really know because game pass) I think it was a success for MS because it showed everyone they were still capable of releasing games that live up to the hype. That consumer trust is extremely valuable, especially for the subscription model MS is going for.

You also mention Motorsport, which I'm honestly pretty indifferent to tbh. Did enjoy what I played of it, but sim racers aren't my favorite type of games. It seemed solid though.

Honestly, what happened to this site? It used to be full of interesting comments and dedicated gamers sharing their passion. I'd even say it was the best Xbox site worldwide and certainly the best of the three Hookshot sites in terms of community and vibes. Now, every comments section and even the forum are all packed with Xbox haters that have scared all the genuine users away. It's sad.

@Banjo- It's because the lack of moderation I suppose. They just allow the trolls and such to post there stuff and regular users just don't want to deal with that *****. Honestly once Nintendolife and the rest of the sites partnered with Gamer Network the moderation just went down. I get it they want numbers and it doesn't matter who posts what as long as people post and make the site look active but come on this is not the way to go.

@Tasuki @Banjo- As always, reporting a comment is the best way to alerts the mods directly who will then review it

Moderation is always a bit slower at weekends but will still be reviewed and looked into

Have a good weekend

Also one of the biggest problems, in my opinion, is that the most active of these accounts pretend to be neutral to circumvent moderation and not just post their "opinion", but hound anyone saying anything positive on a daily basis.

@Banjo- Well in that case you gotta report the post, but yeah I get what you are saying. One of the the big reasons I don't post here or any other the other sites like I use to is cause there's always some troll you wants to start an argument or go after me with factless posts because they don't like when I am positive about Xbox. Don't get me wrong I will call Xbox on their ***** but I will have the facts to back it up. I just don't post because I don't like Xbox and want to bring everyone down to my level.

But yeah the modding was alot better I'd say pre covid then it just seems that it got laxed alot more kinda like other big forum sites, which is one reason I visited this site alot more then say IGN back then. But you know as they say you grow and you lose what made you special.

I didn't want to open a new topic for this (I'm not even sure how to do it from the phone) but I wanted to ask.

Yesterday I was checking my games (Xbox Series S) so I went to "full library" -> "Owned games" and to my surprise half of the games were missing (like 400)
Now, I can still access them if I search them on the store, the "install" button is there, but what the hell happened?
Anyone had this happen to them?
I had installed some of the dissapearing games, and they're on the main screen with the ⚠️ sign like when Game Pass ends and you don't own the game, but I CAN play them.

I could use some recommendations on newer Xbox titles. Preferably titles not currently available on the Switch.
