What I'm getting from a lot of these comments is that some of you spent way too much on a Series X from scalpers and now want to justify that that by kicking the Series S. The Series S is similar to the Switch where third party developers struggle, and first party studios take the time to do it right.
Have owned Costume Quest for years now. This needs a port to Switch and a remakenor a sequel. I didn't like the second game as much but it's been long enough to ask for something new.
@Galaqua To be fair during the 360 and PS3 Era Xbox did the same. It wasn't till the Xbone flopped so bad everyone jumped ship to Sony. I like how PC is starting to get all of their games. Pointing me to a SteamDeck.
As if it even makes a difference with old games likes this. I prefer these RPGs on PC anyways. Atlus has been really good with the mouse and keyboard configurations.
I'll never accept 30fps again. The main reason my Series S collects dust unless I'm feeling nostalgic and want to play old games. Even then it's only to fps boosted titles.
I laugh. After what they did with single-player DLC in GTAV and then taking so long to make the next game in the series to milk the GTA Online stuff they deserve a little bit of pain.
@Kaloudz It even funnier to watch when you don't play or care about call of duty. Both sides say the same thing and don't seem to notice this is all just marketing.
A lot of words for what amounts to it makes us a lot of money and we'd like to make more. Just be honest. All this I love the fans and know what's best for them is boring and fake.
Great it's on steam. My Razer laptop is perfect for HD2D RPGs. Already have Octopath 1, just waiting for Live a Live and the Dragon Quest 3 HD2D remake.
@Acurisur Have you played GTA4? Lost and Dammed is especially bad. Then older GTA games are like cartoons similar to Itchy and Scratchy and get away with more. I personally don't care about the content but a lot of you will pretend to be offended by it. Not worth their effort at this time.
I got it when it first came out but didn't give it a real try. Maybe after the update. Currently playing Recore and that game deserves a lot more praise.
Last week I started Demon's Souls. I rage quit a few times and even rage deleted the game before re-downloading it. Once I got into the rhythm and understood what to do I loved it. The fear of dying and feeling scared. Must be what it's like when normal people watch a horror movie.
I like it but I can't for the life of me pull off what they consider to be a drift. Even with them showing you how to hit the targets I can't manage it.

Re: Gotham Knights Divides Critics, Lots Of Different Review Scores
First thing I judge is the frame rate. Sub 60 is not acceptable. After PS5 and a Razer Laptop less than 60 fps and my eyes strain.
Re: Microsoft Layoffs Are Reportedly Affecting Team Xbox
They are in the business to make money. If you have fun with one of their games its mostly a byproduct in their eyes.

@Kezelpaso Nintendo and Xbox should make a deal. That would be incredible.

Another scheme to make money.
Re: Xbox Game Pass: Easy Achievements & Fastest Completions
Xbox scheme right?
Re: Todd Howard: Starfield Has Over 250,000 Lines Of Dialogue
@Romans12 Agreed. I don't want to hear about a game till its about 3 months from release.
Re: Microsoft Bites Back As Sony Reveals New 'Call Of Duty' Concerns
This scheme of Xbox is suspicious. He says one thing and does another later.

Re: Microsoft Lays Out 'Benefits' Of Xbox + Activision Blizzard On New Website
They will even keep old leadership from the companies and the drunken cubicle crawls will return?

@Rafie They had an SMT game on OG Xbox but it wasn't Persona.
Re: Xbox's Phil Spencer Visits SEGA Booth At TGS 2022, Where Persona 5 Royal Was Playable
@Lavalera I played Yakuza Like a Dragon on Series S. Great RPG similar to an Adult oriented Persona game.
Re: GTA 6 Footage Appears To Leak Online, 90 Different Videos
@Dsswoosh Exactly. Like the movie They Live, all they want to do is sell you something.

Yakuza Like a Dragon is the only one I have. Even came with a free PC copy.

Re: For Some Reason, Octopath Traveler 2 Appears To Be Skipping Xbox
@Titntin Guardians was fun and funny arcade action. Square messing up with avengers did ruin its chances.

Can't wait to see the modern version of Cissnei.
Re: Xbox's 'Approach' With Starfield Is Leading To More ActiBlizz Scrutiny
Why else buy the studios? I don't understand why he has to lie about it though. Exclusives always run better than multiplatform games.
Re: Xbox Series X & Series S Will Not Follow PlayStation 5 Price Increase
It's not that they don't want to do it. Just a tactic to get more sales.
Re: Review: Saints Row - A Truly Disappointing Return For The Saints
I'm having fun. I knew what to expect from a Saints Row game. To each their own.

Re: Rockstar Supposedly Cancelled GTA 4 & Red Dead Redemption Remasters
GTA 4 wasn't really that fun. Also there is no way it would pass the woke test. Especially Lost and Damned. At least it's avaliable on pc.
Re: Xbox Boss Praises God Of War Producer Following Dramatic 24 Hours
Would be nice if they had a rule where you don't announce anything unless it's six months from release. Would save a lot of hassle.

I've only used it a few times and all those by accident but was nice to save the time.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Has Everyone Praising Xbox Smart Delivery Again
Anytime I download a game on PS5 it gives me the option to choose PS4 or PS5. Not that difficult.
