1st person games, a ton of them, they aren't my bag. So I was wholly disappointed. Like completely. Major fail for me. Couldn't even mention some Forza dlc, just a bunch of clicker walk and talk 1st person 2k/bethesda-looking bologna. The likes aren't adding up to the perceived quality, I don't buy it and I don't think many will, at all and looking forward to xbox being a publisher before next gen.

I really hope it was abandoned or given to a different studio/console dev all-together or Marvel has taken rights back. I don't want a first person ugly arkane Bethesda game.

@Brigurugi and I was right

This is pathetic. Begging and pamdering a Trillion dollar company to use old IPs and give us controller support. It's not working, while you all watch the dog and pony show and play the little games, the numbers don't lie and Xbox is still tankiing hard. I expect sell offs if things dont turn around by October, record lay offs starting Jan 27. Mark those worda.

Never use quick resume and especially for online games. However, I think the problem is the way you quit the game. Unless actively watching you don't really know when the game saves and there hasn't been a save and quit option in this game since ever... I think.

I quit playing Xbox with 469,000 gs almost a year ago now. Badges aren't inspiring me to even come back for the 500k. I want discounts, in game gear or even free games for my work, not trinkets.

Not looking like a 99% discount could even move a 2tb Series X rn. Sales are abysmal getting beat by the og Switch and Playstation 4 in most regions and the US. I'd like to see retro numbers as all the young folks around here a going ananlog and selling their systems and canceling streaming in droves. My retro game store has shelves of used this gen consoles atm.

Controls are horrid for this ugly game, online only is a huge turn off. Willing to bet this lands like a wet fart on any platform.

@CallMeDuraSouka Mom sold mine in a garage sale, learned a hard lesson on collecting from that. Imagine a game something like The Witcher or Shadow of Mordor with less RPG, more action and set in Eternia, with a Battle Ram, Sky Sled and Cringer/BattleCat your transportation, fighting BeastMan and Lockjaw outside the gates of Grayskull, power-ups and skills from The Sorceress or Orko, Man-at-Arms your weapons specialist/planning source, multiple skins and playable characters, maybe even an evil campaign playable as a MOTU character from the massive rogue's gallery. Can you tell I've thought about this?

The fact that we never had even a decent He-Man game in my 50 years is a shame. Let this cook, keep the price under $25 and sell a bunch so I can get a 3rd Person open world Eternia before I'm 65.

Hey, this might be a reason to dust it off and turn on the old Series X, seems as though I haven't had one in a long long time(Last Summer I think). However, this simple fix that should have happened years ago is far too little too late to win back this whale, I found plenty of other fish in the sea that wants my money.

Not true wireless, has those wonky back buttons right where my fingers rest, those suck, no haptic feedback, too small and way overpriced. That's a no sir to GameSir. Where's my refund for my Elite 2 being garbage out of the box and where's the new controllers we were promised MS?

@Fiendish-Beaver or just not play and save a few bucks. I see no value in GamePass especially with majority of games that really want your money having a demo of some sort. Maybe there are no good demos on Xbox since they want you to be a tester while paying for Game Passé.

Don't sleep on The Thaumaturge, it's kinda a cross between STS and Ex.33. Some fantastic creature designs and great deck building. Also, physical copies will be worth triple(good luck getting an Xbox version) as the press run was very limited.

Give that schwag to the actual people that matter, the people that actually have to pay for your console and ecosystem. Pulling a Sony here by playing favorites.

That guy is really good friends with Danny Masterson. If you don't know, check it out. He's just as creepy and the reason why he's never made it off the C-List. The reporting here really needs to vet their topics.

Pinball FX always gave me the feeling the game was data mining or stealing my identity while I played. Just an "ick" certain games give off, almost like a smell... and Pinball has long felt like the worst offender no matter who makes it.

April 1st marked my first full year without any gaming subscriptions(I have been a PSN and XBL member in some form since inception) and guess what? I didn't notice missing it, realized I never play anything needing "online" services and bought a PS5 pro(pre-price hike) with the savings. I have not been this happy as a gamer since pre-covid. Going for my video streamers this year(YouTube premium is going to be a hard loss).

This is the saddest list of games and so called "perks". Remember when you got a movie or TV show season and a discount on pizza? Why on earth would anyone pay for GP only to play all the free to play mindless content? Or any f2p games on a console in a first world country?

Anything is better than the awful Xbox app. Heck, trying to find an open KMart is easier than navigating the Xbox app.

I have the Starlink:Battle for Atlas starter set and the only add-ons I could find for Xbone. Spent a few hours with it years ago and enjoyed my time, no need for the toys 2 life aspect.

Tired location, tired progression, half assed reskin. First Forza I haven't pre-ordered since FH1 and will likely skip entirely.

@Skedaddle just mark those words, sit back and watch.

They had to know Fortnite is a sinking ship... the disdain towards anything "games as a service" is only growing.

I don't care about colors, groups and I've never used quick resume, ever, it's a terrible strain your system and chances are it won't work properly even after one use. Those little download niggles you all have... Quick Resume. I want a list of my games installed and that's it, I don't care what my background is. I don't stare at it, I play games on my game console.

Took me a good few sentences before I realized what this was about however I still have no idea what any of it means. Seriously thought the article was mistakenly uploaded with the pill photos. Thank you for reaffirming why I play single player games. Seems ridiculous, like the Marathon is a a job or bitcoin farming.

Not seeing Need for Speed anything, Legend of Spyro or Culdcept. I have no faith in this list. Bot votes.

I need some of the, Atari, Acclaim and Midway and the more arcade style games of the 2000s playable again.. Splashdown, MotoRacer, San Fran Rush 2049, Hitz Blitz and Jam, MK, Rampage, Godzilla DAMM and Gauntlet. Be really cool to get a new Paperboy and Gauntlet too.

I thought I read something about there being perks for GP? These are not perks, just more motivation to not play Xbox games on my Xbox

Been almost a year since I left. Haven't missed it. Any friends I played with have all left too and we caught up on the PS5 pros we all bought with the savings. Haven't been this happy as a gamer in a few years. 2026 has been great on PS5.

It's like Kmart announcing a major refresh and loyalty program then the entire company just nuked over night. I'm here to watch the dumpster fire burn amd Microsoft keeps throwing live ammo into the fire.

Ghost Recon Wildlands please! Did the worst AC games but won't touch the best TC game.

Anyone catch the Nintendo buyback on the Nikei this morning? So long Xbox and thanks for all the fish...

Always thought of SSX series as overrated ugly and empty featureless games where gameplay barely evolves from the first five mins to the last five however, Just Cause 2 is a fantastic example of a game that holds up amazingly today. The 360 game runs like a dream on Series X. I will never tire of chaos, jumping from ground to a helicopter, to a jet, to the ground again all the while blowing everything up in sight will never get old.

I have become completely disenchanted with new and future games on Xbox. If it's not a sokoban, it's a $5 platformer, if not either it's A.I. created UE5 slop. The AAA stuff has been wash rinse repeat as of late and I cannot fathom paying $70 for a game discounted 20% day 29 after the 28 day window and revenue is reflecting that. Seems I'm not alone anymore as more and more sleepers are waking. The crash is coming.

The World Of Warcraft advertising is obnoxious and I think all 4 people interested get it, please do not become a ZDnet clone.

I need He-Man to be good. If it succeeds, Thundercats, M.A.S.K. and Silverhawks have a chance at a live-action reboot and possible future games. I need an immersive 3D open world Thundera in my life.

Too little way too late and still broken and inaccurate. Bring back comments on user reviews, let me sort out the shovelware, filter DLC, if the discount is LPOT(lowest price of the season or retail), search by dev or a page with all games available(like Switch) by Devs or studio and stop deleting reviews and if reviewer actually played or a time played game.

Maybe a hot take but I found Space Marine 2 to be clunky, drab and boring AF.

Spent too much on licensing, puts out AA titles that are just that... AA, sometimes just A, or even B(Rennsport). Hell Is Us was slept on though.

Edit: Forgot the Gollum game. C-Tier.

@OldGamer999 not this time. True native 4K on a console and it is stunning.

@VeganH but the PS5 Pro IS the best place to play Forza. I cannot wait to see Starfield.

All that red tape for barely an hours worth of gameplay across 13 games. Give me a digital Avengers and Xmen and I'm good. Spiderman games are awful... I would just like the newly formed New Radical to give us a remastered The Incredible Hulk Maximum Destruction and/or a sequel.

What is a shaun michaels?

@SuntannedDuck2 Disney does not own any interactive or live-action rights to Spiderman or any of his supporting characters and the main rogues that were introduced in a Spiderman-only comic, those rights are exclusive and can only be licensed by Sony, as long as Sony use the character in an interactive and live action form every 5 to 6 years, INDEFINITELY. Basically, if you visually see Spiderman move on a screen Sony owns the rights and all profits not Disney. Disney paid Sony for the ability to bring Spidey into the MCU to make the stories they want, however Sony has been the lead production company on everything Spiderman with Disney in more of an executive producer position. I don't believe Sony with their own highly successful platform would allow such a look in what is currently the bottom rung of the gaming world by caving and allowing any form of their breadwinner to "slum it" on the quickly fading Xbox. Better chance for a Switch drop though...

Sounds like sunsetting Xbox to me. Back to their "roots" as in burying the platform.
