I got lucky and I got a 5 dollar gift card! Promptly used it to get the two pack of Wolfenstein games for less than 5 bucks! What a steal, and I have never played them!
I can't wait to see the details! I won't be tuning in live, but finding out some more information about these upcoming games is absolutely on my next gen bucket list. I am always down for another good superhero game, and a villain game too!
I absolutely think it would be in their best interest to scrap the Xbox One version of the game. I want this game to be the game that immediately screams Xbox Series X to me, and in its current state, I don't think it is capable of doing that. I also think they should just delay the game until at least Holiday of 2021 so that it gets the extra development time it needs. I know that will cost them console sales by a large amount, but Microsoft's logic on the new gaming landscape doesn't seem to focus on console sales anyways. I just want to wowed, like I was when I first played Halo 3. That's all. I am willing to wait a while to get that.
I honestly love this new logic by Xbox. This is the future of gaming that has me the most excited between Sony and Microsoft. Not knocking those that love Sony though!
I will be picking this one up for Xbox since the Nintendo Switch port seems iffy. I definitely want the best experience possible out of this gem I missed out on the first time around.
Definitely the best decision that could have been made. I am much more relieved about the state of the game and how it will look down the line. I also feel like Phil Spencer is making a lot of good decisions for the Xbox brand down the road, which gives me confidence in the future.
I don't really mind when they release the console since I am perfectly happy with my Xbox One. That is probably mainly because I was so late to the party with what is considered now to be the current gen.
@Tharsman I completely agree with that outlook. Since Halo Infinite was delayed, that is the only one for me, that comes to mind. Not quite a must have for me, but definitely worth a look for fans of the genre.
It bugs me to miss out on the game at launch, especially since it was going to be available to Game Pass members, but I will always stand behind the idea that extra development on a major title if needed, is a must. I would always much rather wait.
I am a little conflicted. On one hand, I don't really mind that Halo Infinite was delayed, but on the other hand, I am struggling to find a game that is the definition of "Why you need an Xbox Series X at launch". Unless better frames/graphics for games you already own is good enough for some of the people that are interested in the system for launch day. I am about 50/50 at the moment. I know buying one at launch will pay dividends in the long run.
Even if it takes 4 more years from now to have it released, I am sure it will be worth the wait. I have loved every Bioshock game so far! The commentary from the audio tapes in each game is oddly satisfying to listen to.
I am looking forward to seeing the new Batman game in action! I have played every one so far and have enjoyed all of them, including Arkham Origins. Just a very good series. Arkham City is probably my favorite so far though.
I chose black simply because I have been using the same white Xbox One controller for years, and I want something different! They both look good to me.
I am not bothered either way, but since I will be getting the Xbox Series X, I will be more than happy to use my current Xbox One controller as a secondary controller for the next system. I bet being able to use Xbox One controllers is especially nice for the people that own the Elite Series, as well as custom designed controllers. It just makes sense to me.
I wanted to play Devil May Cry 5 and Kingdom Come Deliverance but I don't mind seeing them go. There are still plenty of games I want to play on the service.
I rewatched the 8 minute gameplay trailer last night and after looking for the finer details in the graphics, I feel like they aren't that bad. I see and understand what the developers were going for with a return to Halo 1's color palette, and I like it. Who knows what beautiful landscapes we will be exploring. In Halo 3 in particular, as I looked at the background art, I always wondered what it would feel like to be able to explore that area. I am not a super huge Halo fan, but I know I will be playing this one.
I don't really need Games with Gold when I already have Game Pass Ultimate. That being said, I don't play multiplayer most of the time anyways so neither outcome really affects me.
Kind of surprised this isn't coming to Game Pass to replace the existing version, though I guess they did continue developing this new version 18 months after the original was finished. My girlfriend was kind enough to get me the Nintendo Switch version physically though, so I won't be needing it on Game Pass regardless.
The detail in each cloud is amazing! I just wonder if this game is too much of a simulation to the point where I can't grasp it. It looks so good though.
The only bands I have heard of is Machine Gun Kelly and Sublime. I remember having so many good times in the warehouse level mentioned in this article. I swear I put triple the amount of time in there as much as the whole game.
