Regardless of how much money ms is making I think it's sad that the xbox brand as a console is slowly dying and many are cheering it on because of profits?? Sure are a lot of shareholders on here
Its kinda sad how quickly so many on here have embraced xbox transitioning into a publisher and subscription service. Up until now I've always bought all systems and enjoyed the differences each one brings but it seems most are happy with any 'plastic box' under the telly. Probably an age thing tbf 😀
Gamepass has been awful this year, far behind ps plus imo. I've been subscribed for a few years now but once I've played (and hopefully enjoyed) Indy then I'm done, with gamepass and xbox in general. Sad to see
Glad it's available for those that want it but I absolutely hated this on ps5. The story is a load of bollocks and the gameplay is almost non-existent...
I do regret buying them tbf but it's my own fault. Never a huge xbox fan but have all the consoles so I picked up a series s at launch along with a ps5 and upgraded to the x a few months later. Hardwares decent but it just feels like it's been slowly dying for years now and gamepass has been on a steady decline. Sadly won't be buying the next one
@Tasuki one of the main reasons for buying fifa each is to play with the updated squads, yes this should probably be paid dlc but unfortunately isn't. But I guess waiting until its on a sub works for casuals , if your not a big fan of the sport it makes sense to just wait and get it 'free'
Probably play for a couple of hours a night during the week but none at the weekend so definitely less than back in the 80s/90s. Also losing interest in modern gaming but since getting into emulation I'm enjoying revisiting previous generations in 4k
@antonioacm I've both too but to be honest I'll probably cancel gamepass because the bigger games seem to be going to plus first bar the odd xbox exclusive, which to be honest haven't been great sor far...
