I like what this guy is doing. Real and full co-op games.

Ubisoft probably know some people would get triggered or need their safe space.

Too many games that look incredible in the Xbox and PlayStation events this week. Not enough time.

I feel I need to get one to hit back in Rocket League chat.

It reminds me of the switch from Android TV to Google TV. Just one giant advertisement. The only thing I like is the easy-access settings button.

It’s time for Deus Ex. A superior cyberpunk world full of conspiracy and intrigue. Embracer Group should prioritise it.

The Xbox Series X idling in instant-on mode uses more power than a Switch OLED playing Zelda BOTW.

The only games that should be considered are ones not playable on current hardware. I’d love to play Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines or the original Deus Ex on Xbox.

Alundra - PS1. Great game.

Quidditch World Cup wasn’t fun.

It is their job to be ‘concerned’ until those concerns have been dealt with. If a competition agency were just waving through large deals and not concerned about anything beforehand, what is the point?

There are 750 employees at 343 Industries and they’re struggling to get the barest of features released. Something clearly isn’t working and it’s likely bad management.

I hope this deal falls through. It’s a lot of money they need to recoup from GamePass subscribers for Candy Crush, Call of Duty and PC Blizzard games.

Not sure about this one. They look like a group of triggered millennial students rather than gangsters.

Microsoft need all regulators to approve it if they want it to remain operational in all countries. Xbox wants to expand beyond the US and Europe.

A surprise Elder Scrolls VI drop.

A slight delay only I hope. Mike and Rich from Red Letter Media being in High on Life made me look forward to it.

Christopher Tolkien safeguarded his father’s work and did a great job. Since he passed away, the Tolkien estate are determined to make a quick buck and defile the integrity and purity of his work.

I barely use GamePass and will probably cancel when it runs out. I have a huge backlog of purchased games and most new games I wanted to play weren’t on GamePass. The games that I did recently play on GamePass were The Outer Worlds and FFXIII-2 and I still spent more money for the complete experience with DLC. I plan to play Starfield, but it’s probably better to just buy it outright.

At least he approached the question as a PC gamer than a cloud gamer, but I don’t agree.

I would say the console market (for Xbox) is more secure than ever because Microsoft have set a baseline spec for their servers that run cloud games, and that happens to be the Xbox itself. In the future, people buying the local consoles to run these games will actually save Microsoft money on server resources and power. It would be like buying one of the servers to use Netflix and still paying the subscription, whilst other people just sign in, pay their subscriptions and let Netflix handle the rest.

This sounds like the equivalent of YouTube removing dislikes. Microsoft will probably get rid of reviews at some point at the request of developers. Steam is much better for user interaction.

Almost never. It doesn’t support all the streaming apps I use, and it doesn’t support all the formats and codecs. Also, the IR media remote cuts out a lot, probably because I can’t face the console sensor forward towards me. I wish they made a Wi-Fi remote (since they don’t use Bluetooth). One other consideration is the energy consumption just to watch TV on Xbox - you’ll notice a large increase in your bill compared to using Apple TV or Nvidia SHIELD.

@CrazyJF
Great moment. And when you had to make THE decision. Cya Kaiden.

“It's also mentioned in the report that the team is trying to be more cautious compared to other GTA games when it comes to "making jokes about marginalised groups".”

This is pretty much a guarantee that the next game is going to self-censor, be woke and become the worst GTA.

Are there any Ubisoft games that are worth playing? Even EA play basic that comes with GamePass Ultimate has a lot of good games available despite their reputation.

Blackflag still looks better than Ubisoft’s upcoming pirate game.

The Xbox adaptive controller for disabilities was really, really cool. This stuff isn’t.

Lots of people here from Push Square today..

This is why they launched it as free to play and separate. At least we have MCC.

Going “woke” won’t be inclusive for the vast majority of people that don’t think like that.

The glass is half full, friend. It’s going to be great. It’s still a Bethesda game and will reasonably have Bethesda DNA in it like Fallout and Skyrim. They put so much ambition, effort and time into it to get a bit down on it so early.

And definitely 😂

@Titntin Because I like story RPGs and especially Bethesda RPGs. Fallout in space sounds incredible. This could be like a more serious version of The Outer Worlds - which was also good. No Man’s Sky was cool but it starts to feel like some first person version of Stardew Valley and can’t sustain my attention for long.

I feel you’re wrong about Starfield and you’ll be playing it next year when it releases.

@Bleachedsmiles
Flying around the atmosphere of 1000 planets would get boring also. With a defined landing spot, the feeling of exploration can be better but it depends how they designed it. I’m thinking of games like Mass Effect, KOTOR and The Outer Worlds.

Also flying in the atmosphere would probably ruin the balance of the game. Imagine the gameplay teaser where they didn’t land in that specific location and you could just land on top of the outpost held by the crimson fleet. No point in seeing any of the planet along the way as you fly from objective marker to objective marker.

This game is going to be much better than No Man’s Sky.

This isn't even an issue, and I don't think it would improve gameplay experience for a game with a story. There needs to be set landing locations so you have to travel certain routes designed by the developers.

This means the 150,000 lines of dialogue will go much further. Great decision.

I would like them to finally release the multiplayer game RE:Verse that we got with RE Village.

No mention for Scorn? That game look incredible and creepy.

Looks like my dream game. A combination of Fallout, Mass Effect and Elite Dangerous.

Is it sold in Xbox Middle East regions?

Everyone should play this trilogy. It’s the best narrative experience I ever had - with rich lore to rival Star Wars in my opinion.

It’s much too pretty and adorbs to ever use.

Although it can go up to 4K120 in some games, the Xbox Series X is a solid 4K60 machine with Dolby Vision. That’s enough for me.

@JayJ
You can’t gatekeep this site just because I didn’t like the Xbox One and thought it was a miserable generation for Xbox. Let’s agree to disagree.

@JayJ
Thanks for validating my argument. If all the best features of the Xbox One are currently in the Xbox Series, then the XB1 couldn’t have been underrated. The XB1 is unnecessary to go back and use or feel nostalgia for.

@JayJ
The “same exact thing only with newer hardware” applies to all consoles. The Xbox One was underpowered and underwhelming from day one. It was an Xbox generation where it just made more sense to move to PC for performance and exclusives. Series X|S is a huge improvement for it’s completed backwards compatibility library, faster SSD loading, GamePass, quick resume and the reasonable price.

The Xbox One wasn’t good and almost destroyed Xbox. The Series S is (quite rightly) highly rated and has tonnes of promotion by fans. The OG Xbox was extremely underrated compared to the PS2.

@Grumblevolcano
I really hope so. At least they could do random drops without any obligation or commitment.

It’s something you have to build up to get traction. The Xbox 360 laid humble groundwork, but the Xbox One launch ruined all of that.

Deus Ex is the greatest video game ever created, and it isn't even on Xbox. I'm sure bringing it to console could be a smaller project like Bethesda did with Quake.

343 Halo and Paramount Halo are terrible. At least we still have the Bungie Halo and the MCC - a much better experience.
