@DarthAmmii Didn't he have something similar to say after closing down Tango?
I know I've already said it in another article, but this Xbox executives team has done nothing and I mean nothing except for; 1. Fall to grow internal studios 2. Buy up 2 massive publishers 3. Allow missteps from the publishers they spent billions on by being hands off(see point #1) 4. Manage to deliver some of the most abysmal PR speak in gaming 5. Thousands of laid off devs( see points 1-4)
What a fascinating mess Xboxs executive team is, except for Phil Spencer's " charm" what in the hell have they actually accomplished....... except for closing studios and yearly mass layoffs....
@FraserG and it's an exhausting way to address your fanbase.
The " air of mystery" nonsense needs to stop. I'd still argue that Xbox brass simply has no idea what they're doing- and stumble into winning streaks like they have recently
Not sure if Game is running the same deal, but US Gamestop has a Black Ops 6 for 20 physical, i miss going to gaming stores so this is always kinda nostalgic when Gamestop has these deals
Have to give Kudos to Bethesda for " shadow dropping this" instead of allowing reviews for a week prior. Really really low and scummy, but cold and calculated
I've been very tempted to get this on SteamDeck, i just don't know how i would find enough hours to play this too... and I'm still slightly hopeful Starfield does something amazing....
@cburg Glass houses and all that.... a Spend enough time on Nindylife, purexbox, pushsquare.....Fanbases are all equally ridiculous, Nintendo fans might be in the lead, but not by much
@MasterTanookiChief That's why is such a bizarre metric to celebrate, we are on opposite ends, but they lump us together. 🤷♂️ I also can't recall them saying GP had terrible attachment and it was a disaster..... for anything
These " biggest engagement launches " are such trivial nonsense.
I really don't get how people on GP( like me) playing it for an hour is something to celebrate.
I normally would have spent 30-40(Doom Eternal)on it, but instead I've only spent 2 to find out I didn't like it along with Avowed,
I sunk 300+ hours into Stalker 2, despite the release of yet another unfinished game. I've been waiting for this update to have a full playthrough, and yet again it sounds like GSC shat the bed again.......
I just tried another sit downwith it and I'm just not enjoying it.
The shield is such an odd add on gameplay wise.
Soundtrack is also EXTREMELY underwhelming.
Not sure why, but it feels so cheaply made, like they actually didn't want to make this but needed a game out
Keep moving those goalposts , just keep moving them🫠
I keep meaning to ask, are these Xbox sales links affiliate links? If they are I've been meaning to purchase the games on here so you all get a bit back.
@XboxNumberOne I can always sell or giveaway the game I don't own.
We are currently at the whim of the big three when it comes to refunds. If it's physical I can simply sell it on, if it's digital and not Steam... well best of luck
Playing Avowed, buckled and bought a month of Gamepass, and am a bit underwhelmed. It's just high fantasy Outerworlds with just as piss poor looting/weapon systems- magic is fun
I'm really worried this IS their ALL future FPS games template I'm not crazy about it.
@IOI 🤔Sounds like you're seeing what you want to see. Destiny 1/2 were petty dang successful even if it's not your cup of tea. A lot on P■ aren't fans either

Re: Stalker 2 Update 1.5 Includes Mods On Xbox, Here Are The Patch Notes
I sunk 300+ hours into my first playthrough, bugs, jank and all.
This was my game of the year, it was a dream game for me, can't wait to play again this winter.
The atmosphere on Stalker difficulty was sublime. So excited to see what this game plays like when it's " finished"
After Starfield really bummed me out, this is the game that made me so grateful I took the Xbox plunge(well that and Far Cry 2)

Re: Xbox Is Raising The Price Of Consoles, Games And Accessories

No thanks MS.... no thanks

It was a fun game, but pretty shallow.
