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.
