Back to what i think i said before, i get it if you finances were tight but and extra fiver and month in the uk, what a Fuss is being made πππ
Think on the whole the are just losing people who aren't really xbox fans or don't have time to play many games in which case it's not really a service made for them. i could do without the price raise though π
@lechugajr Yeah probaly exactly there plan, get rid of those they don't make profit from get a bit more from those they doe, Fun while it lasted though π
@ZuneTattooGuy Oviously so late to this party but there are still some games that are only backwards compatable physical, do we want to just lose these?
@Old_Man_Harper Had no interest in Subnautica, then speed ran though it with console commands when they did the 10,000 gamerscore for reward points (remember when they actaully wanted us to have them π) wish i hadn't as looks MUCH better than i assumed it would be
@somnambulance Depends, if you were me those games you already have would probably last me until next year, although never stopped me buying games i have yet to play, so either way, Go For It π
Gears 2 done, so onto Gears 3, GREAT FUN: on the one hand should have played them years ago, on the other hand, Really Enjoying them now so no harm done π
@Kilamanjaro Yeah but even for them there will be a limit in the future, unless they just stop making them at some point and keep making games, which i wouldn't complain about
@NeoRatt yeah moore's law ended for consoles last gen, meaning that while they can't shrink the die like they used to,they can get more improvements but at a greater cost, so future gen's will be interesting, no much better but more expensive π€£ Unless they do something different to attract people... All i keep thinking is if someone went back a gen or two and made a mordern version of those consoles, where games are cheaper to make and take less dev time.....
Seems to be at 11am on a Thursday, so maybe i can get away with it at work (stick on a headset and everyone thinks you are on a teams meeting π€£π)
For no apprent reason Gears 2, Loved 1 back in the 360 days, beat it twice then again in co-op, cannot fathom why i never went back but played a bit of 5 for acheivements back when MS Rewards wanted them for points (remember that, crazy i almost miss doing them π€£π) and really enjoyed it, so vowed to get back but that was an age ago; Still holds up and Looks and Runs Great on Series X, just killed the BIG Fish π€£ Also Crazy we have had 2 remasters of 1 and 2 & 3 have had nothing
Also, thinking about it, I think current tariffs are 30% and NONE OF THESE PRICE RISES EQUAL 30%, they are all less, so MS is eating some of cost, just not all of it
Is the Galaxy Series X even available anymore? Think the MS store says out of stock, also bet it's still subisides if only minorly, they are over a barrel as 100% of xboxes come from china
@Coletrain Yeah also, from the look of the lack of dev kits and reports teams are being told to make switch 1 versions seems Nintnedo doesn't want you to get one just yet either π€£
Mate this is a far cry from "xbox has no games" Keeper Definitely, also Ninja Gaiden and you bet Outerworlds 2 (beat the last one not long ago as was suprised how much i liked it)
