EVIL-C

@Gabrie Download and give it a try, it's fantastic. 💻 😉

I expected nothing, because Xbox as a brand is both dying and blazing its way at full-speed to irrelevance.

After MS killed off the PD reboot, that sealed the deal for me. That was my #1 most anticipated title. PD is my favourite FPS of all time. We just don't get these spy-themed shooters anymore.
But after what happened, I really have zero desire for any future Xbox hardware, nor much desire to continue with the brand. Xbox used to be my 3rd party game console and even those I find myself picking more up on PS5, out of my sheer disappointment with the terrible decisions MS has made. MS betrayed us, in many ways.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner Laptop Gun, one of the best weapons ever in any FPS. 😍

@Balaam_ PS5 version isn't garbage. 🤔

@Gabrie Umm, no. PS5 has crushed Xbox 3 to 1, S2 has sold over 10M units already, and the top selling 1st party titles list of Nintendo is staggering. MS is the only one going to struggle massively next gen. If it's mainly just beefed up and little else, and there's zero exclusives, there's no reason for the masses to buy it. I'm about ready to bail cause I rarely use GP and there's no exclusives anymore.

@Questionable_Duck A console with zero exclusives that essentially is playing PC games. 💡

None of the above. Fk Microsoft with their pricing.

Not worth it at its current price. But no one's buying Xbox hardware, so it's a moot point. Serious cope going on with these staff members. 😬

Xbox will be in for a shock when this overpriced new console goes ignored, as gamers rush to buy PS6 instead, barring some colossal f-up from Sony.
There's no excitement in the XB brand. MS isn't fixing any of their software problems, they're making them worse, and that's why gamers aren't interested. Game consoles still highly benefit from console exclusives, as Nintendo and Sony demonstrate.
Cancelling Perfect Dark was the last straw for me as far as Xbox is concerned. GamePass is now ridiculously overpriced too.

Why does everything have to suck so much now? Thanks neoliberalism... 😢

Also... LACK. OF. EXCLUSIVES, combined with the tarnished brand.

I still have my free glitched copy of Alan Wake remastered, lol 😂

MS sure has fallen from the 360 days. 😢

The Xbox brand is so tarnished now after a decade + of dumb decisions, the end of Xbox hardware seems almost inevitable at this point. It's just a question of how badly will Magnus flop? Gamers won't pay more for this, with zero exclusives, when they know PS6 will get Xbox studios titles as well.
I'd like to be wrong, as I want more than just an arbitrary choice of 2 consoles.

@wildcat_kickz The "ownership" talk is symantics. I still think of buying physical media as "owning" the thing I bought. With the enshitification of streaming apps and things like GamePass, I've only doubled down harder on physical media. 💿🧐

@BAMozzy We physical buyers still own the container 💿 the license is installed on to. 😉 Much of the "ownership" talk is all down to symantics.

Beyond disgusting. Sold out to a bloodthirsty, ruthless regime. EA truly is the worst gaming publisher.

Already have a Switch 2, and Xbox as a brand seems to be dying a slow death.

@abe_hikura Everything really is just getting worse, it seems. MS itself is a horrible company and Big Tech is obsessed with AI, consequences be damned. Cancelling Perfect Dark was the last straw for me. Sigh... 💔

@Pichuka97 They both need to be fired immediately. They're both horrible, empty suits.

@Fiendish-Beaver Ewww, the rebrand to "Loaded" is news to me, and a terrible name choice to boot. 😩

Uncancel Perfect Dark. 🧐

@InterceptorAlpha They can all leave as far as I'm concerned. Xbox needs new management from the ground floor up.

@FraserG "She's not leaving Xbox, don't worry" We weren't. Most of us were hoping Sarah would leave Xbox, and take Phil with her. 🤢

Excellent! 👏 🎉 Power to the workers! ✊

So it's making money, yet a whole bunch more Studios and games get cancelled..? Yeah I call BS.

@Questionable_Duck And like the abuse of AI/all the AI slop popping up is a good thing? Lol. Social media was bad enough before AI. We all know this stuff will see little to no regulation at all, at least in certain places.

We are all so screwed. This problem extends far beyond some monthly gaming subscription. 😩

GamePass is not sustainable.
Cancelling Perfect Dark? No. Just, no. I'm done.

@somnambulance "Second party" is not technically a thing. It's a 1st party game, developed by an outside 3rd party studio. Nintendo does this all the time, for example. Ultimately, HD is 1st party since Sony owns and controls the IP.
If Nintendo contracted Sega to make another F-Zero for them, that new title would still be technically 1st party since Nintendo owns the IP.

@HardRockGamer Pffft, GamePass is part of the reason this was cancelled and all these layoffs are happening in the first place! The service isn't sustainable. That's painfully obvious at this point. I'd have happily paid full price for PD, like any other normal game outside of Xbox.

@Dreamcaster-X This pretty much proves that GamePass, combined with poor console sales, is losing Microsoft a ton of money. In theory it's "good" for gamers, but I've always questioned the financial feasibility of GP.

Perfect Dark.... I am crushed... 💔😭

ABSOLUTELY INEXCUSABLE TO CANCEL PERFECT DARK!!!!!! My favourite FPS of all time, PD, was finally going to get a worthy new entry after that embarrassment that was PDZ. Absolutely unbelievable. I'm in utter disbelief... F*** MICROSOFT!!!! 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡

COD skipping Switch all these years was one of the dumbest things Activision has done.

This is one of the best trailers I've seen in years for any game, and most game trailers are terrible. 😍 😍 Day 1. 🍸🧐

@TruestoryYep Couldn't have summed up Sony better. Sony has completely lost their way with PS5. Worst generation of PS ever by far. Their once great now dormant IPs, while their embarrassing live service stuff all gets cancelled, is the death blow for me. 💔😢
PS just sells cause it's PS. Switch can't handle many 3rd party modern, big-budget titles, and Xbox does miss out on some major Japanese stuff, plus apparently has "nothing worth playing", so PS5 is the default safe choice for many.

MS already has a powerful handheld they can already bring their games to and succeed with; it's called Nintendo Switch 2. 😉

Great game, and plays just like Life is Strange. 👍
I wonder how much longer until this hate-wave subsidies and people will realize it's not LBGT people "ruining" their lives, but bottomless greed and billionaires? 🤔

@Balaam_ LRG is a joke. Now they're distributing Switch 2 key cards. They're could've said no and remained principled, but nope, they chose money over conviction. Not to mention Scott pilgrim requires an online connection, D was printed on low quality CD-Rs for the 3DO, causing many to not work at all, old chips were used for Shantae and other recent carts produced by them, to name a few. Garbage company.

Damn, a lot all these require that GP Core bull 💩 at minimum... 😫

@Valhura Option 3: Rent it with GamePass and wait to see if a true physical copy is made. 😉

Whooooo there's 1 in Toronto! Never heard of them, but what better timing? 🍕😈😁

Ponies want Xbox games... they just don't want the Xbox itself. 🤔 😉

Just goes to show how good looking the original game was, despite coming from the "make everything brown and grey" generation. Reloaded looks excellent. 😄

Whoooo, I support free.99 for Ultimate owners! 😄

A direct result of chump's tarrifs. You voted for this! 😡 😡

Somehow in the minds of magadonians/magapotaimians, etc, paying a worker in Asia a starvation level wage, while Americans got to enjoy the largest, most robust economy for a century, combined with their cheap consumer goods, these things are unfair to the US, that the victims of this exploitation are "ripping Americans off" is so comically insane and detached from reality, that there may be no hope left politically, especially Americas far-right. Chump knows literally nothing about economics, global trade, currency, on-shore industry building, etc... We're all so screwed. Impeach and convict the tyrant is what needs to be done.

Chump is directly responsible for this. 😡

Greed Covered in orange cheeto dust, with a large side helping of tarrifs. 😡 🔥

@Juanalf My local pawn shop has like 12 copies of the X360 original, lol. 😂
