@__jamiie 😑 Such a bizarre statement, if you enjoyed it, great! I have not touched it since Dec of last year because I didn't think it was very good... As a Bethesda game, it was terrible at being a Bethesda game and a lot of folks feel this way🤷♂️
Nothing ha, I've spent the last 6 hours trying to figure out how I've misplaced my application file on my steamdeck😡🤬 Can't figure out how to install Greenlight without it and Linux is NOT playing nice
@themightyant Appreciate it! The Portal is flawless at home, and just okay on my hospitals wifi, so hopefully I can get the same or better mileage out of streaming Xbox on the Deck. Did you use any particular app on the Deck?
Random question, but does anyone here stream installed xbox games to their SteamDeck? ( have never used Xbox streaming, would it require installing Windows?) The PS Portal is just bonkers fun, and i'd love to play my Series X the same way and have a initial release SD.
If I'm being completely honest.....I have no idea. These past few months at MS have been such a GIGANTIC cluster truck that I'm not sure I trust Xbox just yet. Will be very interesting to watch them close out the year, if it's more stumbling and bumbling.........oy?
I love playing games on SX, and I love them on PS5. But I have been conditioned to check which system runs better, and it is usually so negligible I end up just getting which one has the best deal🤷♂️
@Medic_alert It's an odd way of thinking, surely Bethesda knows that much of their core audience is getting up there in years. I don't think they have Rockstar levels of mass appeal. I'll be near 50 by the time ES VI comes out, and might not live to see FO5. Sincerely don't understand Bethesdas development philosophy.
@InterceptorAlpha My wife of 20 years is still freaking hot, she enjoys watching and looking at beautiful women. She complained constantly when Victoria Secret leaned towards different modelsIt's just how nature made us, we like the shiniest things. Is she jaded, maybe but she will watch cut scenes or gameplay if she thinks the character model is attractive
@Ricky-Spanish Apparently the paid quest had a weapon attached to it.
I'm just going ignore it all and wait for a couple months after shattered space, see if I actually find any thing they did redeemable, if not well oh well
@Danny272 I figured I'd see what sales looked like in the store yesterday and Gears 5 was cheap, so I went to check reviews............. Seems like a lot of people didn't want Gears 6, because they hated 5.
So did Phil just get a pass for this past month?? It's kind of surreal..... he dangles some shiny keys and all is fogiven. Mind you, some really shiny keys!
@jesse_dylan A lot of us "more hardcore" gamers are a dying breed. Traditional RPG mechanics are going the way of the dodo bird. I expect it to be simplified for mass market appeal
@user0 Ya, this should have been the first trailer. I'm still really uneasy about this game, two instances where they showed gameplay that just looked kind of bad. Now this with spliced highlighted gameplay........
I've spent years ogling Halo, was fun watching anticipation build in the fan base and reading through differing opinions. Infinite was my introduction to Halo, and campaign wise it was just flat out not very good. The gunplay was great, and...uh it..uh. I'm to late to the party for MP, just don't enjoy it anymore, so I did miss out on some of it
@Banjo- It's an odd thing, I didn't buy my SX for gamepass, I wanted to build a fun library that was " in theory" only on Xbox. So with all these recent happenings at MS I have not bought anything for Xbox because I'm very concerned it's just going to PS eventually as well,.
With GP fans I think this is not any concern, they don't "buy" the games anyways. The investment risk is minimal because " They might think they don't actually own anything anyways"
@Beckerjr @Beckerjr Nice optimism, but if Bethesda doesn't put out a DLC that's widely loved with a MAJOR overhaul of basic Game systems that'll simply not happen. This game has so so so many half assed systems, horrendous game design and world building it would take years to fix.
@Jenkinss I'm curious what you consider to be "on rails" set piece type game?
I guess I don't understand how, Spiderman, God of War, Ghost of T, Forbidden West, Bloodbourne etc.... fit that definition. The Last of Us? Returnal/ -
It's such a goofy framing or pseudo dig that makes no sense.
I didn't play the open world Gears 6?, but the others i played were similar style of game to Unchartered- just different themes.
Like the ***** the call all Xbox stuff dudebro shooters.
You people are ridiculous
@Feffster It's 100% damned if they do AND if they don't. I don't think they can put older CODs, it will eat up new COD sales. BLOPS2 was a best seller for awhile, and had attracted quite a community again.
You make a popular older COD free on GP and blow up the community with GP members, Warzone is free as well with newer COD features..... why spend 70-100
@EvenStephen7 Xbox has left me with very little faith over the past almost year. I've simply just started buying it for the SteamDeck instead. I will not invest in Xbox any further, at least not until they explain, with credibility, just what the heck is going on

"Zero marketing (this game comes out in two weeks!)
No physical release
Now it might come to other consoles.
All like Hi-Fi Rush."
That's so bizarre, this game seems like it would be so easy to market- HIGH END graphics- stellar motion capture, an eye catching title.
I still very much remember how good the 360 marketing was for games- Those GoW trailers were sublime
