Re: Four Years Later, People Are Still Getting Confused By Xbox's 'Horrible' Console Names

EVIL-C

People laugh, but bad naming conventions are a real thing, and companies need to be aware of this problem.

Personally, "Xbox One", and "Series X|S" were horrible choices, and someone deserved to get fired over that.

They should have just picked a completely different name like "Xbox Alpha" or "Xbox Cypher", etc.. You get my point; something completely different and unique to any Xbox naming scheme beforehand.

Re: Talking Point: Do You Ever Pre-Order Xbox Games Anymore?

Despite owning many titles, I can't think of a single XB-specific game I've ever preordered prior to now, with the one exception being the Snake Eater Delta CE . 🤔 Might cancel it though, since I got the PS5 CE reserved as well. 🤔

I will gladly preorder 1st party Nintendo stuff, games with price errors, or stuff I genuinely want to play at launch.

Re: Report: Call Of Duty 2024 Will Launch Day One On Xbox Game Pass

@Banjoisfanboy Yeah I'm too wondering if this may be a negative financial outcome for MS. 🤔 I've zero interest in COD but I'm very interested in the financial and business models of the industry, and ultimately if GamePass remains or runs out of money. It'll be interesting to see the effect but, I just have a nagging suspicion this may not pay off...

Re: Xbox Fans Urged To Remain Calm As Emotions Run Wild On Social Media

@Carck Nintendo never once gave even the slightest incling of an impression that they would drop out of hardware. I was there during both the GameCube and Wii U days; that was all endless speculation from writers on gaming websites, and gamers on forums speculating, all of which was completely baseless. They looked like fools then, and 10x moreso foolish now.

Re: Spec Ops: The Line Has Been Removed From Xbox's Storefront

@InterceptorAlpha It's a shame that "Spec Ops: The Line" is one of the most generic titles ever for a game. Plus, the way it was advertised, it was depicted like your standard, cookie cutter, military TPS. Yawn... 🥱 Then one gets into it, and aside from it's solid gameplay, it's story is unbelievably awesome and indeed, subversive. The twist is completely unexpected and superbly well executed. 👏😄

Truly a shame to yet another great (and very unique) game digitally delisted, lost to the mists of time... 😭 And without any warning either. Shameful!
