I have a series s. Works fine for me. Bought some black vinyls for it and with the storage anything that is not required to run on the internal drive just sits on my external drive.
Just a word of advice. It starts out very samey for the first few ours but then it starts to unlock and there is so much more going on. It's a weird way of doing it but I like it.
Why streaming? Why not purchase it and it's just an emulator with builtin games. I used to have a raspberry pi which just had emulators and loads of preloaded games. Do that just on Xbox. Can't be that difficult
Question to ask Jim Ryan. Do you have Netflix? I'm sure the answer will be yes. So all those studios that are making films and series that costs millions then supplying them to Netflix to distribute don't like it either? It's exactly the same principle as Gamepass.
I look at it as the console hasn't reached its peak. Look at the last gen. It's always the last 2 years. People say "OMG the graphics ain't amazing" most games when this started were still developing in UE4. Development takes around 4/5 years for a new game. Ignore things like ubisoft just pumping out games. I will to this day say one thing "is it a good game" yes we expect good graphics. If the game is s**t what's the point
Don't don't have high expectations for it. Aslong as we get some gameplay, release dates that's all I'm really interested in. If they do a load of pre rendered trailers with coming soon release on them I will be rather annoyed.
@Scummbuddy Haven't played it either. Think it will be one of those games that will be good because it's bad or just horrifically bad where it's a 15 minutes and give up
Nothing over the past couple of years has come out that of gone " this is f**king amazing" been more meh it's alright. Most games they have been releasing are small indie games. Don't get me wrong some have been really good but where is the AAA games. Something I can grap and not put down for weeks
Finished Ravenlok only last night but loved it. Simple and felt like a spiritual successor to the Alice games. Which I still feel they should make a third one
@Dan1283 had PS plus for years and still do. They used to be pretty good. Now, Same indie industry style games are what they tend to release. For the price I pay a month and get over that price worth of games. I can't complain. Obviously others will but such is life.
I always find people will complain that the games are not AAA games but you think. Well they are free (to a degree) similar to the games that come out on game pass. You have paid a tiny amount for probably 3ks worth of games.
I have supported alot of indie on Kickstarter. Some have done well others not so much. If they went game pass unfortunately they would end up doing better. Not saying they wouldn't do by themselves but more people would find it and end up getting more out of it.
@Tomato_Goose It is a survival, community build, resource gather. It's the closest to if the world goes zombie. How will you survive it. You can use a character that is levels up. Really got and they get ripped apart. You have other characters to use. It's very good and nothing like it for this themed genre
I will say it everytime they mention about potential previews of games that were announced ages ago. Where is SOD3. I have been waiting 3 years for this. Give me something please. Just so I know there is a shred of hope it is still coming out.
Give me State of Decay 3 already. Atleast a glimps of gameplay or what it will actually involve. Will it be like the first more story based or the second that was more open world. Just tell me.
Not going to leave an overly in-depth comment about something I have not played yet. Never had any real interest in the game. Looks alright. Seems to be a typical co-op game with players Vs monsters (vampires) nothing I have read really changes any formula. I will give it a go but if it wasn't on gamepass I wouldn't even entertain the idea of getting it.
Haven't read any of the replies. But it seems the ActiBliz isn't the tip. They are worried because MS is the one pushing cloud gaming and they are worried that will become the norm and will be one platform. Similar to netflix. But MS is still along way, away from
I'm intrigued by it but don't have high hopes. Not bothered about the lack of 60fps. Spent most of my gaming life in 30fps. I think it will be a bit like B4B. Old school co-op with a few new features and story but nothing exceptional. Obviously I will play it as it's on game pass but I will say it lasts a couple of months then player base will rapidly full except the hardcore fans.
I still think what they should do in my opinion is have game pass then stuff like that as a bolt on. Example (can't remember the prices) game pass for £10 then you can add ubisoft for £5 then another one for another £5 rather than multiple subs and full prices. You can get them at full price but game pass gives you a discount.
Was an amazing looking game at the time. But the game play was so linear and repetitive. When you did a killing spree there was about 4 kill animations that you just saw over and over again.
They need to announce something. I'm waiting for SOD3. I mean come on. You did a trailer in 2020. There must be something to show. Even if it is Pre-Alpha scripted gameplay. Just a glimpse of what they are actually working on. I actually bought a new Xbox specifically for it.
Where is the game you announced 2 years ago and not heard anything since. You know that game that was different from the other stuff you put out. Think it's called State of Decay 3. Seriously WTF. How can you release a trailer two years ago and not say anything since except. "We are working on it" atleast just a little tease of new features or even just a screenshot of a map. Please.

I honestly look at gamepass the same as Netflix. The same principle. Studios releasing series and films exclusively to Netflix. They ain't complaining
Re: Xbox Says Big Budget Games With 2-3 Years Development Cycles Are Over
Give me a fun game with mid graphics and I'll be fine. Gameplay is the important part. Graphics is a luxury.

If you could have it as a bolt on to game pass for like £5 I might be tempted.

Re: These Five Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (April 4-18)
I'm more than happy with any amount of games that come out. If they release at least 2 day ones it has already paid for itself.
Re: Lots Of New Xbox Games Get Release Dates At Nacon Connect 2023
Still no state of decay 3. I feel they shouldn't be allowed to officially announce a game more than a year before it comes out. It's been 3 years now.
Re: Talking Point: Are You Enjoying 'High On Life' On Xbox Game Pass?
