This game is way too complicated for me. I don't even know how people keep with all the stuff you have to do. Kudos to those looking for some deep, deep strategy games.
I’m so confused by all this Xbox for PC etc. So this is not available on Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, nor will it be available for Xbox Series X or the rumored Xbox Series S, even though it’s available through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate?
How did they come up with all these terrible names?
Not a criticism of the site, but is there going to be a constant crossover between Xbox and PC?
Whilst certain games confirmed for Xbox like Flight Simulator and Gears Tactics are obviously deserving of coverage, games like Age of Empires 3 and now Crusader Kings 3 seem more suited to PC Gamer and the like.
Just wondering if I should realign my expectations for the site and view it as Pure Microsoft as opposed to Pure Xbox.
For what it's worth I'm very happy to have an Xbox site in the ilk of Push Square and Nintendo Life and will visit here regardless but just wanting to clarify your remit.
edit: I did enjoy Crusader Kings 2 a lot several years ago, but don't currently have a gaming level PC to play on. Hence my comment.
@GamingFan4Lyf I love Paradox's games but they do have a large learning curve. I usually wait a bit before playing a new game of theirs just so I can watch guides.
@Sinton Yeah, just for PC. I think most people stopped looking for continuity when Microsoft went from Xbox to Xbox 360.
@pip_muzz You should definitely realign your expectations. Microsoft has made it clear that it no longer considers Xbox to be a console gaming division. Anything that hooks up to the xbox servers and gives you achievements is probably safe to fall under the xbox label. A Pure Microsoft sight could probably include every game running on Windows.
@Sinton
Xbox Game Pass for PC - PC Only $9/mo
Xbox Game Pass for Console - Console only $9/mo
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate - combines PC, Xbox, (and Cloud as well) plus Xbox Live Gold $14/mo
@pip_muzz Obviously console is our primary focus, but typically we'll cover anything that falls under the "Xbox" banner, whether that's Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Game Studios first-party titles, etc.
Microsoft is really pushing the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate memberships these days, so we want to make sure we're highlighting everything you can get in that subscription across console and PC.
