@ZuneTattooGuy Sony's first party titles all pretty much look and play the same. I enjoyed the Last of Us, Days Gone and Horizon's story's but they are in alot of ways just clones of each other.
I just want the Fallout 4 nextgen update to come out before Starfield does. If they can't get it released before Starfield I doubt if many people will have the time to enjoy it.
The game has problems but I have enjoyed what I've played of it. The game has great atmosphere to set the stage with. They do have alot of bugs to fix. The game reminds me of Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines, it was buggy as could be but I had a good time with it.
Hopefully they don't go crazy and censor every little thing. I had a friend get banned for a gamertag that was created randomly by Xbox. He used that same gamertag for over 5 years.
Being able to share your games with 10 people on your friends list would have been really nice. Xbox had lots of nice ideas for the Xbox that got axed along with everything else.
I've enjoyed my time with it so far. I've played it about 12 hours so far. I like the atmosphere of the game and there is room for improvement. It isn't the worst game I've ever played.
@PROPS I have both the Series X and PS5 and I've only played 3 games this generation. It feels like everything I start playing it is something I've already played. I get pretty bored with pretty much everything out for that very reason.
@Sebatrox they could dump Xbox hardware and just be a software company. Make deals with TV manufacturers to put Xbox GamePass on them, Nintendo and Sony. No one ever thought back in the day that they would see Sonic on Nintendo or Playstation.
It sounds like they are going to be throwing in towel like SEGA did and just develop software. I hope that is not the case but I wouldn't be surprised I've invested in several things just for MS to abandon them.
The Series X must be hard to develop games for. It is supposed to be the superior console but can't seem to match what the PS5 does. I don't think any of their AAA first party games have released in such bad states. I played Spiderman and Horizon Forbidden West on their release day and they ran really well and looked amazing. Something is lacking within the studios that MS owns.
If they hadn't forced Kinect I think it would still be going strong. People like having a choice. The Xbox One was over priced after they removed the Kinect requirement. At times it feels like they are doing everything they can to kill the Xbox brand.
@themightyant any new franchise that Bungie makes will be a Playstation exclusive. Bungie is the best at making first person shooters and that is what Sony bought them for.
@themightyant you could make that argument about every studio and game. If they weren't acquired by whoever that their games would have eventually released on their competitor's console and every other device.
I miss the days when consoles launched with that one must have title that you always went back to play. Nintendo had Mario, Sega had Sonic, the OG Xbox had Halo but the last couple generations haven't really had any must have launch titles that you would always go back to play. I hope Starfield is that title for Xbox. Xbox needs a big successful blockbuster that gives people a reason to buy Xbox.
@Magabro they need to do a better job of managing their release dates. Xbox management seems incompetent. Their No 1 IP Halo was delayed at launch, released a year later with none of the features promised. Xbox fans are not the problem incompetent Xbox management is the problem.
@Stocksy I just read a little while ago that GPU does hurt game sales so who knows how long it will be around if that is true. A company can't keep putting money in to a product that isn't producing a profit. GPU can't just break even it has to start paying for itself and then some just to keep shareholders happy.
@UltimateOtaku91 if that is the case they need to release on Series X than Series S when it is ready. I want a AAA Xbox 1st party title to pay sometime this generation. This Nov will be 3 years it has been out and all we have is a bunch of indies.
Some of the people being let go could be underperforming and a distraction to the team. Getting rid of a few people can actually boost performance if they were not pulling their fair share. Every company does this from time to time.
Sony needs to have a one price scheme like Xbox has. Xbox Game Pass is simple and straightforward Sony's tiered subscription model is more complicated then it needs to be.

Re: Starfield Will Run At 4K / 30FPS On Xbox Series X, 1440p / 30FPS On Series S
@Suda52 Xbox cut their own throat with that statement and they deserve the criticism for over hyping the Series X.
Re: Poll: How Would You Grade The Xbox Games Showcase 2023?
I was hoping for information on the Fallout 4 nextgen update to hold us over until Starfield comes out.
Re: Poll: How Would You Grade The Xbox Games Showcase 2023?
They need to deliver on the games now.

@TakeItEasy you can easily tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps on a TV.
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Think Of Redfall On Xbox Game Pass
@TheSimulator I'm sure he is playing something on the PS5 and not even concerned with Xbox.

@Kaloudz Killzone was a pretty good franchise but it just doesn't do very well for some reason.

@themightyant Starfield is not an established franchise, for all they know Starfield will flop. Why waste money bringing it to other consoles.
