@Cobra Sony is doing their form of GP right Also waaaayyyy better selection of games and stuff we'd never see on Xbox and not just 1st party Sony titles, all kinds of titles that will never see an Xbox.
@Ricky-Spanish I have a disposable income for gaming, I don't need "free" games I need to be able to what I want, how I want, when I want. I don't want anyone picking out "free" games for me. The GamePass selection is awful.
Please please please give us back Gold or an option that just allows me to download my digital games and play online without some forced "pass" with games I don't wanna play or some agenda pushed on me. Let me play the games I paid for without your "not for me" service with useless perks for F2P games I don't need the service for and Anime for gooners.
I sometimes play more than 1 to 2 different games a DAY Phillip and almost always games that are not on GP.
Shiz sale. Inflated sale prices. There's always the Summer Of Arc... Oh wait... Summer Sal... Nope. Flash... Lol... A game pass perk and actual sale prices for members?!? Never happen.
Yawn. Gimme a Blood Wake sequel, a Crimson Skies MMOPVP, something anything Halo, Forza Horizon 1 remake, DOA Xtreme XXXBox, Shaun Murray Wakeboarding 2, NFL Fever NeXt, CONTRABAND and Project Gotham Racing 4.
Bring back Voodoo Vince or Blinx or heck even Malice. So many better and originally Xbox IPs than riding someone else's creation and honestly successes.
Banjo is lame, with horribly ugly characters and world design and it always felt like cheating playing a sequel on Xbox. How about back to the psuedo original Xbox mascot and remake/sequel Metal Arms? It sold best on the original Xbox and was used in all the ads back when the system dropped. Great fun too and deserved a sequel.
@Rog-X I think allowing reviews is excellent and wish Sony and Nintendo followed suit. I've been told I'm reasonably intelligent and can skim through the bogus agenda reviews, I look for certain comments and appreciate a decently thorough or thoughtful review. Especially for indie games or games fewer people would play. I respectfully disagree and think reviews should be available everywhere when it comes to my money and entertainment value.
I personally have 150+ reviews currently on the store.
Absolutely no interest in this. The only place I wanna play is at home on my nearly $2000 4k TV with the necessary VRR in my $500 chair using my $100 a month internet. Not on a potato in the middle of Shop 'n Save.
@Vidorra yes there are exclusive deals for Gamepass members, they change weekly but are usually the same 30 games every 3rd week so the sales never really change. And never have I ever seen a deal for Gamepass members that non-members do not eventually get, usually within the same week. Really is nothing special anymore to have GamePass in any form.
@PsBoxSwitchOwner Same sale, different name, with the elevated "sale" prices. Perfect example is Jedi Survivor drops as low as $6.99. This sale it's $9.99. Gimmicks are getting really stale. The store needs a massive overhaul.
@Tasuki also stuff you've seen at cheaper prices or know the "gold" or "complete" editions also go on sale the week after the "vanilla" edition sale at the same or even lower price.
Same old sale, same old games as predictable as me taking a crap every morning. Never any exciting or fresh deals in the "store". Flash sales, daily specials, weekend blowouts, BOGO at sale prices(not msrp), use points for discounts, the ability to get discounts on games that never go on sale... Anything to spice it up and make buying digital worth it.
@Nighto4 bought it blind instantly upon release just to support future releases and to F EA and 2K. But where's the knockoff/homages to Street games or Blitz or Virtua Tennis or NHL '94, like there are hundreds of retro inspired Metroidvanias and jrpgs, heck Pokemon has at least 50 wannabes nowadays. I don't need licenses or teams involved, just a fleshed out, feature rich arcade fun without it being F2P or $79.00.
Shadow drop my a**. This was announced over a month ago during all the college playoff games and I even asked on the last update about GP and EAPlay why College Football wasn't on this list. Like this site found a secret or something, calm down it's just college football.
This is the only place I see anyone say anything positive about this game. It's getting eviscerated on the Xbox store reviews and Reddit and most reviews haven't been kind. I don't count reviews from Gamespot or the bigger reviewers, almost always a paid lie or on some agenda. But my trusted sites? Not good, except here for some reason.
As an Anime outsider its crazy how Namco churns out these $70 titles so quickly and if you look in the Xbox store not one description or image of what the actual gameplay is and if you don't know the anime(like me) what the game is actually about. Seems they might get some laymen like myself to give these a whirl if I could see ot get a description of some actual gameplay and a story blerb. I love fighting games and had no idea a lot of these are Powerstone and tag fighter rip offs.
It had been a barren wasteland since Sniper Elite dropped for any gaming nugget on Xbox lately, especially with the Avowed flop and the bad word of mouth on South Of Midnight and the Fable fumble just been a ton of the pay $5 for 1000gs games that barely look like they qualify as games. Hoping Atomfall saves me from this funk
Not trying to be a "try-hard"... Yet, the visuals of Avowed and Starfield and Indy and Veilguard all seem to have this same bland and cramped look and granted I have not played any of them but the flat ugliness just turns me off and I get bored and have no interest in even trying. Especially Indy and Avowed.
Not Ninja Gaiden 2 for dang sure. All the tease for another remake let alone a lousy "AA" Koei game. "Koei Tecmo, our games are almost fun." How about Xtreme 4 or Tecmo frickin' Bowl? "Nope, here is a remake of a remake nobody and we mean nobody was clamoring for "
The new Nintendo whatever* cannot get here fast enough so I can play all my XBOX games on it. My Series X is about to become a useless paperweight. If Sony could have figured out how to make actual new games MS would have been out of the game since Halo Infinite flopped. Been real MS, but cloud is where I check out. Bring back the fun in gaming and collecting.
Stray got old fast, even as short as it is. Not what I hoped either, with the forced future angle. I want to be a dog or house cat in modern times allowed to bite normal children and mail people.
I cannot be the only one stoked to try Legend Bowl, can I? I mean 16ish bit football? Not Madden but actually looks like effort. For years I've wondered with all the clone games why nobody ever tried to recreate classic sports titles that isn't Soccer, not one Tecmo Bowl or NHL 94 knockoff? Despite being the GOATs as far as sports games are concerned. No Blitz, Hitz, Bigs like remakes? C'mon? EA and 2k won't give it to us. Now if we could get a collection of older Sega Sports titles my life would be complete.
