If I buy a disc game and run it on xbox one, would i then be able to access it on the series s? It is that reason why I'm cautious about a discless console as I don't wanna give that up.
That launch was the sole reason I switched to ps4. Ok the exclusives were a huge reason but Microsoft really messed up.
I will get a series x this year so Microsoft have turned it around but what a way to ruin the good work of the 360. X1 was the Sega Saturn all over again.
I've bought a new 360 to replace my one that died last month so back to Sleeping Dogs. Lousy definitive edition blocked the original from being BC but at least I cant keep putting it on hold forever. It may be done this weekend. If it is I will return to Fez.
Get Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon asap if you haven't played them. They are perfection. Well Blue Dragon is more of a 9/10 but Lost Odyssey is a perfect 10. Combat is more Final Fantasy 10 than Final Fantasy 15 but its an outstanding game. So pretty, fantastic turn based combat which makes it clear why being at the back row gives you more protection, and the story is lovely. Those dreams are so well put together.
Blue Dragon isn't quite as good but is still outstanding. It looks like a pixar film but actually has some swearing.
And if it is available still, get the Lost Odyssey dlc. It is really cheap and makes for a great way to level up.
Happy New Year all. This is the year I'm gonna get a series x console either through all access or just by buying it in one go.
I have a goal in the mean time. Finish up any game that isn't forwards compatible. I only have around ten. Some are short eg Ecco the Dolphin while others are longer eg Sleeping Dogs but I feel its a good goal.
My 360 broke down last month and I bought a new one but who knows how long it will last.
I have lego star wars on preorder but will change it to xbox if I have the new console by then.
About a year and a half ago, I was all for getting a ps5 until I realised Microsoft really is doing better. Free upgrades, making it clear they support both generations compared to Sony who seemingly changed their mind at the last minute and have put almost all big games on ps4 too. And the console design is awful. Its way too big and unappealing.
So Series X all the way. Roll on Plague Tale 2, Lego SW and Hogwarts Legacy.
Never owned an original xbox but I've played the games I wanted to. Play the wife's x1 for the exclusives but it wasn't enough compared to ps4. Don't own a series x yet but will get one this year.
And the 360 still gets regular use. One of the best consoles ever
@GamingFan4Lyf their arrogance of the launch of the ps3 is coming back. They need to realise that the competition are doing things better and it could have a big impact.
The 360 is still one of the greatest consoles of all time. I had so much fun playing online for the first time, hunting achievements, getting into the Halo and Gears series, and truly feeling this was a massive step up from the last gen. Getting my first HDTV nearly a year later made it even better.
But I can't say the same for the xbox one. Its disastrous launch completely killed it for me. My wife has one so I enjoyed playing Gears 4 (just bought 5), Ori and Master Chief Collection. That's it. The 360 was full of exclusive games like Lost Odyssey and Viva Pinata, or timed exclusives like Mass Effect and Lost Planet. The x1 is missing so much. Respect for them for trying their best to fix the mistakes of the first years and backwards compatibility is outstanding.
I will get an Xbox X eventually but to me, PS4 was by far the better choice last time. Poor Microsoft. They made the exact bad decisions that all console makers make on their third console. At least they didn't do irreparable damage like Atari and Sega though. Like Nintendo and Sony, they did bounce back.

@shamirqushairi haha, yeah they only do their own thing when it is a terrible idea.
Re: Bobby Kotick Will 'Continue To Serve' As Activision Blizzard CEO, Says Microsoft
If he stays, I expect all his power will be gone.
So he will prob demand redundancy
Re: Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Reveals His Thoughts On A PlayStation Game Pass
Of course it is. Almost everything Sony do in gaming is copied from their rivals so this was only a matter of time.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 15-16)
Sleeping Dogs on 360 to get the final achievements.
Cod Infinite Warfare on ps4 to finally give it a go.
Metroid Dread on switch to finally make some progress for first time in a few weeks.
Re: Reaction: Sony Continuing PS4 Production Shows The Xbox Series S Was A Great Move
@Savage_Joe That is a shame. I hoped that would work. Oh well, Series X it is one day.

Re: Is It Worth Buying An Xbox One In 2022?
I'm using the wife's one for the backwards compatible games as my 360 is reaching the end.
Until I get a series x, this is doing nicely even if the wireless is gone so it has to be plugged into the router .
Re: Deals: All Classic Xbox Games In This Week's Sales (January 4-11)
@themightyant if they could remaster it and cut the battle load times down to just a few seconds, I would buy it again immediately.

Re: Talking Point: What Have You Bought In The Xbox Countdown Sale 2021?
Batman by telltale. Im looking forward to shadow mode. That didn't exist when I played it on ps4
Re: Telltale Games Reveals More Details About The Wolf Among Us 2
Brilliant. I can't wait. I just hope it won't be a 50 pound game like Life is Strange 3.
Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite Xbox Console To Date?

Still halo MCC.
Re: Xbox Series X And Series S: A Christmas Guide For New Owners
I'm gonna get mine early next year. That all access deal is what I will get if I can't get one in the shops.
At the moment I'm playing my wife's x1 but I feel like I need my own console again, especially as I've nearly finished up all my remaining ps4 games.

Re: Thanks To Smart Delivery, The GTA Trilogy Physical Version Has A Major Advantage On Xbox
Stuff like this is exactly why I'm getting a Series X next year and not a ps5.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 18-19)
Korgan. I need the achievements for a challenge on TA. It's pretty good. And free as well. Highly recommended.
Re: Deals: All 15+ Classic Xbox Games In This Week's Sales (December 14-21)
I never played Rogue. Is it worth it on 360 or am I better off getting the x1 version?
Re: Rumour: Rockstar's Bully 2 Might Be Getting A Surprise Reveal Soon
@Ihavenomouthandimust agreed. Jocks, needs cheerleaders and more. So much potential for Jimmy to take over for himself.
Re: Don Mattrick Discusses The Failures Of The 2013 Xbox One Launch
His vision didn't deserve to succeed. I love the 360 but this put me off x1 instantly.
Its taken a lot of work to recover but that is down to the new management, not his.

Re: 343 'Investigating' Achievement Delays In Halo Infinite

Master Chief Collection. Its been so long since I played them before so I'm having so much fun.
Re: Deals: All 25+ Classic Xbox Games In This Week's Sales (November 30 - December 7)

@BlueOcean yes. Just can't wait to be king and hakuna mattata waterfall are insane
Re: Disney Classic Games Collection Now Live On Xbox, Also Available As DLC
@gollumb82 I did it on ps4 last year.
The rewind feature is the only way to get through it.
Re: Deals: All 35+ Classic Xbox Games In This Week's Sales (November 23-30)
Is Duke Nukem dlc on sale, and has it ever bern on sale?
The Raven is pretty average but it's a very easy 400G and only took a few hours to complete. About 9gb too.
Re: Here Are Your Xbox Games With Gold For December 2021
I know my wife will enjoy the Escapists 2. God I love how multiple accounts can play games just 1 person downloads.
Re: Xbox Responds To Calls To Add 'Platinum Trophy' System For Achievements

Both should have their own system.

First post on this site.
AC4 Black Flag and Master Chief Collection. Maybe The Raven for the TA challenge.
