Re: Xbox Is Shutting Four Studios, Including Arkane Austin And Tango Gameworks

FFS... This generation I got my first Xbox system because I thought they fixed the problems of the past, game pass was The Deal and on top of backwards compatibility they were the most user friendly of the main manufacturers. Now I am pretty sure this will be my last Xbox system (even though I love it) because I don't trust anymore on its leadership and obviously mismanagement, either because they release games that are clearly undercooked or not going in the right direction and also closing studios that release good games from markets they want to get a foot on... This is just crazy.
This time I have to say it, Phill Spencer and Matt Booty are part of the problem and not the solution!!

Still going strong on Final Fantasy XIV beta, currently early on the Heavensward and finally got to a dungeon we as a group could not complete (the first extreme difficulty). I believe I have around 75h since the beta started lol.
It should be the only thing I will be playing until Dragon's Dogma 2 but tented to buy Bolatro not gonna lie...

Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite Thing About Xbox Right Now?

No 1 - Quick Resume. I got so used to it that whenever it does not work it really gets me off.
No 2 - Game Pass. Love having easy access to games I would not cave for unless at a huge discount and day one access to lots of games I am looking for. In general I play at least one a month and another from my library.
No 3 - Backwards Compatibility. As someone that never got a Xbox system before (and kind of been off from gaming for 10/15 years since the new milenium) I adore it.
On a slight negative I don't like that some first parties ere coming without any physical version and japanese studios are still a hit or miss to release
