Gameplay and release dates for the first party games we know about and it's a winner for sure, I don't really wanna see anything new from first party until they've released the current slate of titles.
I don't want to see anything new from Microsoft's first party studios. Gameplay - actual gameplay with the hud - & release dates for what's been revealed over the last few years is what I wanna see, don't just keep adding stuff on top of what we're waiting for.
Got 3 achievements on GG:S this morning (I was already playing it before the card so it's handy for me 😄 for a change) and nothing has popped. Noticed that the play more achieve more - or whatever it's called - was back up at 50pts this morning that unlocked fine.
No because I'm able to do the work to redeem it through Microsoft Rewards. If I wasn't doing that I wouldn't sub right now even with the first party games being day one personally.
Think I might go in on South Park have the platinums on Playstation but there such good games and I know they can help me hit my 100k goal by the end of the year
I was looking at MGSV for a fiver but I'm not in a rush to play it again so I've not bought anything. Seems to be the same games every other sale at the moment and the prices never really change so it's not like your ever getting a bargain - for me. I do find it pretty funny that The Witcher Wild Hunt has gone from being £7 to £15 since it's X/S patch though.
I have no issue with 30 personally I think the call for delay is a massive overreaction especially from people on social media who've played it recently at the event they just held saying how great it was.
I'm currently at 150gb free with 20 games installed, for transparency 5 of them are Sonic 1 to Mania so they probably take a gig between them.
I only tend to keep games installed until I've played them then get rid unless it's something I know I'll keep playing (Arkham Knight) or my daughter is on with them cos she takes ages playing anything with a story - Bugsnax - or there stuff she always plays like Fall Guys
Looks to be a meaty patch but I've dropped AH, I've been pretty excited for it every step of the way but playing it has completely put me off. Poor combat, character movement that feels slow and some really awful writing/VO have really let it down for me. I'm just glad it was on GP as I was completely prepared to drop cash on this day one.
@Blessed_Koz To completely ignore the market leader - which Nintendo is right now in terms of sales - is being done purely to push the narrative that they can't compete with Sony despite having more resources on hand.
@Banjo- rather than spending $70bn on an entire publisher that they don't really need why don't they play Sony at there own game? There's nothing stopping Microsoft making these kinda deals like they did very successfully during the 360 generation.
Why are Nintendo never in these charts? I know there not on the same power level as Playstation & Xbox but they are far and away the biggest in the market right now
See this kinda thing is a complete waste of time, in a world that's trying to be more environmentally friendly by having a smaller carbon footprint why bother printing up the artwork & code and shipping it to shops?
Just popped the achievement for level 80 Mad Forest can't wait to have a shot at Bat Country. Sonic X Vampire Survivors might be the cross over we need.
@The_Pixel_King make sure you go to rewards.bing.com and have an account ready to go. The daily sets are on there (usually 50 points there most days there's another 30 points worth below the daily set) & getting a streak of those can get you bonus points after a few days, at the start of each month there's an extra section that gets you 150 points and doing Bing searches (full site, mobile & edge) that nets around 190 a day. Then do all the stuff on the rewards app on the console that gets you a decent amount every month as well.
@ChopperCampbell I've been doing it since I got my series s in December 2021. Not paid for GP yet and I've bought Dead Rising 3, Rouge Legacy 2 & half of The Callisto Protocol with vouchers through the rewards system currently sat on 51,000 so another 3 months of GP & £10 off Hogwarts Legacy. Best thing about Xbox for me.
