@VenomousAlbino There's a few titles like this. Try buying through the Xbox website. You'll likely be directed to the old marketplace screen but it will work.

Let’s see if he can make a good game in 2021... then maybe.

I want new stories that have no connection to existing ones. KOTOR was so great because it felt original. It’s all so codified and wookiepedia verified at this point.
Whoever wrote the Zeffo sub-plot for Fallen Order - put them in charge.

Darn, no Avowed. 2022 please!

Is it too late to change the cover art?

I would spend £5 on OXM and play every bit of every demo. It was a barbaric, primordial GamePass.

2 for its visual variety and better pacing.

Stopped as soon as the Splinter Cell games were playable on Xbox One.

Up till then I played it loads.

Why are you letting Banjo-Kazooie go to waste?

Downloading both of those this is a great month for GWG!

She's looking forward to getting started on it... Will it release before 2023?

@GamingFan4Lyf Sony bought the rights to Spider-Man from Marvel. It’s as simple as that.

Spider-Man is such a mainstream pop-culture phenomenon, keeping him off of other platforms sucks. It makes sense financially. But it does suck. More power to those who will boycott.

Dear Phil,

Please let a reliable team finish Scalebound.

Blimey. Xbox really hasn’t delivered on the hype they were building. Most of their big games seem at least 2 years out.

Man those hexagonal towers jutting out of the ground make the environment so ugly!

The art style chosen for the game is bad. 4K won’t fix that.

Patronising comment from Greenberg. The issue isn't my Youtube settings, its the awful art style you’ve picked - which couldnt be further away from the gorgeous 2018 announcement trailer.

Not impressed. Barely any gameplay and far too many third party games that look the same. Compared to the Playstaion 5 showing, this was clearly weaker.

So much better than the previous template of chief stood in a ship. Very clearly evoking Halo CE. Nice.

A Banjo-Kazooie game.

That's a lot to communicate on top of the game. It should be streamlined. I'd get rid of optimised and perhaps the very top Xbox branding (on the green case).

Ideally I would remove the '4K, HDR, Smart Delivery' and the 'Optimised
for Series X' logos. It's really messy. But I've started buying more games digitally and using gamepass too, so the dashboard image is more important at this point. All of my physical games are out of sight in a cupboard.

Hard to tell here because the Miles cover is a much cleaner image than the NBA one.
PS2 and PS5 covers look good. Never felt that strongly about Xbox covers. The holy grail is definitely Playstation 1 and Gameboy boxes. Holy heck man.

‘Fable the lost chapters’ was really great. I love games that feel large in scope narratively. You go on a full quest starting as a kid amd emding it fighting a big dragon, but the important thing is that everything in between feels substantial. It just keeps going. Similar to FF7, 8 and 9.

Don't hold back those two brand new Banjo-Kazooie games.

Control, LA Noire Remastered, Hitman 2 and through GamePass, Hellblade. Control and Hellblade are the two that really grabbed me. Suddenly looking forward to Senua’s Saga now. And waiting for both of Control’s dlc’s to release before starting those.

Hopefully it isn’t the single-take gimmick. Halo has had well crafted cutscenes before and I wouldn't want to see that replaced with a single-take.

GT7 and Ratchet & Clank are the two exclusives I really want to play. Not sure if I would buy a console just for those games but time makes fools of us all. Very excited for the Xbox event!! This is looking like a good generation!

I want them to redesign the achievements. Make it all function from within the Guide as it did on the 360. Too much of the Friends and Achievements stuff exists in a seperate window, pulling you out of a game if you want to browse. 360 didn’t do that.

@belmont Same here. I have to use an Xbox 360 to purchase OG Xbox and 360 games. Even if they are free.

@Richnj It's a little sugar cube man, c'mon.

I'll happily have less power for that dinky design.

With a free afternoon, a mate or two, some pizza... all of them are binge worthy. Halo 3 might be the best for some co-op.
All of them are my children.
