For their unpopularity, EA Play has much better games and a wider variety. Alice Madness Returns, Mass Effect, It Takes Two, Plants vs Zombies, Dragon Age Origins, Jedi Fallen Order, sports games. Once you have played one Ubisoft game, you have played them all.
Microsoft should market it as something which saves money rather than this green carbon stuff. We can see how important access to energy and industrialisation is to the prosperity of nations and individuals, and that seems to be under attack.
Played the original on PC and then a second time on Xbox and got the 200 gamerscore. I hope this plays like the original with the world, the photography, vehicles, mini games, and has Jade and Pey'j as the main protagonists.
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.
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.
@Sol4ris 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.
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.
“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.

Re: Microsoft CEO: I've Never Been More Excited About Xbox's Pipeline Of Games
Bethesda and Obsidian will produce more Xbox Series defining games than Activision-Blizzard ever will.
Re: Bethesda Introduces The Four Main Stars Of Redfall's Story Campaign
These characters remind me of the Saints Row reboot, in a negative way. I hope the game is good aside from that.
Re: Pick One: Which Of These Recent Square Enix Games Would You Most Like On Xbox?
Sony and Square Enix definitely have some dodgy backroom deal worked out to exclude Xbox.
Re: Poll: Would You Rather Have EA Play Or Ubisoft Plus Included With Xbox Game Pass?

Re: Tekken 8 Unveils New Gameplay Trailer For Returning Character
Tekken is dead without Roger Jr.
Re: Talking Point: Do You Buy Less Third-Party Titles Because Of Xbox Game Pass?
Yes. My gaming hobby is covered and I have more important things to spend money on. Thanks Xbox!
Re: Bandai Namco Shares An Extensive Look At Tekken 8 Gameplay
Bring back Roger Jr! It’s silly that they removed him because of complaints from PETA.
Re: Xbox Leak Reveals Ubisoft+ Will Include 60+ Games, Here's The Full List So Far
@UltimateOtaku91 To their credit, EA have much better and varied titles outside of the sport games.
Re: Xbox Leak Reveals Ubisoft+ Will Include 60+ Games, Here's The Full List So Far
Ubisoft have had so many sales that the key code sites are saturated and you can pick them up for a couple of quid.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy Release Date, Release Times & Preload Details On Xbox
I’m looking forward to experiencing JK Rowling’s world in this detail. Did Quidditch not exist in this time frame though?
Re: FOX News Causes A Stir With Discussion About Xbox And Climate Change

Re: Xbox Exec Wants Fans To Keep Developer_Direct Expectations In Check
A few weeks ago he said Xbox would have an incredibly exciting 2023.
Re: Ubisoft Still 'Hard At Work' On Beyond Good & Evil 2, New Statement Reads
Played the original on PC and then a second time on Xbox and got the 200 gamerscore. I hope this plays like the original with the world, the photography, vehicles, mini games, and has Jade and Pey'j as the main protagonists.
Re: EU Commission Employee Frustrates Xbox Fans With Ill-Advised Call Of Duty Comment
This acquisition is not that good for Xbox, but probably good for PC and mobile games.
Re: Video: 'Absolutely Amazing' PS2 Emulator Runs Up To 4K On Xbox Series S
You can install these in retail mode. Some developers paid for an account to host these apps in an unlisted state, so you just need the link.
Re: Soapbox: Tomb Raider Deserves A 'Resident Evil-Style' Remake
Don’t bother with remakes. Just bring us the back catalogue. TR 1-5 + AoD.
Re: 11 EA Games Are Closing Their Xbox Servers In The Next Few Months
Meanwhile, we see entire cancelled MMORPGs being revived on PC.
Re: Random: Xbox Goes Viral With 'Masterful Tweet' About Social Media Trolls
Twitter is not a place for anything good. Just screeching and idiocy.
Re: Xbox Cloud Gaming Is Officially Coming To The Meta Quest 2
PSVR2 is looking more interesting, although Xbox focusing on just putting out regular games is a better call for now.
Re: Chivalry 2 Brings The Fight To Xbox Game Pass This Tuesday
This looks great! I can fulfil my power fantasy of being a crusading knight or being in the Hundred Years’ War against France.
Re: It Takes Two Creator Josef Fares Shares 'Sneak Peek' Of Next Game
I like what this guy is doing. Real and full co-op games.
Re: Ubisoft's Splinter Cell Remake Will 'Update The Story' For Modern Audiences
Ubisoft probably know some people would get triggered or need their safe space.
Re: Eight Games Announced For Xbox Game Pass At Tokyo Game Show 2022
Too many games that look incredible in the Xbox and PlayStation events this week. Not enough time.
Re: Poll: Did You Ever Buy The 'Chatpad' For Your Xbox Controller?
I feel I need to get one to hit back in Rocket League chat.
Re: Here's Your First Look At Xbox's New Home UI In Motion
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.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Dev Says 'Phantom Liberty' Will Be The Game's Only Expansion
It’s time for Deus Ex. A superior cyberpunk world full of conspiracy and intrigue. Embracer Group should prioritise it.
Re: PSA: Now's Probably A Good Time To Use 'Energy Saver' Mode On Xbox Series X|S
The Xbox Series X idling in instant-on mode uses more power than a Switch OLED playing Zelda BOTW.
Re: Soapbox: Gears Of War 2 Deserves 'The Last Of Us' Style Remake
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.

Re: UK Authority Reveals 'Concerns' Over Xbox's Acquisition Of Activision Blizzard
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.
Re: Review: Saints Row - A Truly Disappointing Return For The Saints
Not sure about this one. They look like a group of triggered millennial students rather than gangsters.
Re: Xbox Activision Blizzard Deal Officially Approved By Saudi Authority
@Sol4ris
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.
Re: Talking Point: What September 2022 Xbox Games With Gold Do You Want?
A surprise Elder Scrolls VI drop.
Re: Two More Games Added To September 2022's Xbox Game Pass Lineup
A slight delay only I hope. Mike and Rich from Red Letter Media being in High on Life made me look forward to it.

Re: Talking Point: How Often Do You Use Your Xbox To Watch TV In 2022?
Almost never. It doesn’t support all the streaming apps I use, and it doesn’t support all the formats and codecs.

Re: Halo: The Master Chief Collection Might Be Adding Microtransactions
This is why they launched it as free to play and separate. At least we have MCC.
Re: Phil Spencer Reacts As Xbox Is Praised For Being More Inclusive Than In The 2000s
Going “woke” won’t be inclusive for the vast majority of people that don’t think like that.
