Re: Talking Point: What Would Seal The Deal For You With Xbox Project Helix?

I don't want games to die but I personally think the calls for physical media are from a loud minority. Digital truly is the way forward for most gamers in my opinion because it's simply more convenient. For me, what I want most from the next Xbox is backwards compatibility, fair price point and high end graphics. Oh, and VAST AMOUNTS OF STORAGE SPACE!! 😄

Re: Here's What Fallout 76's Native Current-Gen Upgrade Looks Like On Xbox Series X|S

@Drewdub I didn't find it anywhere near as immersive as Fallout 4 but I'd say it's highly underrated, especially with comments like yours mate. The world building team put a lot of time and effort into the environmental details. And the gameplay is pretty fun too. Is it up there with Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA V or Witcher? No, but I think with a free price tag everyone should give it a go at the very least.

Re: These Eight Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass, Including A Call Of Duty (September 1-15)

I personally really enjoyed Call of Duty Cold War and it was a shame there weren't many playing it to guarantee a match. So seeing it being added to Gamepass gives me hope of a wee bit of a revival for the game. It's a proper, slower, boots on the ground Cod that I personally really enjoy and prefer over the bunny hopping newer ones. Plus, there was a core emphasis on unlocking stuff through gameplay rather than paying for it through DLC, so I think if anything that should be commended! Reinstalling Cold War now in prep for a slight resurgence 🤞😂

Re: Xbox Store Quietly Leaks 'Major' Upgrade For Ghost Recon Wildlands

Hey Pure Xbox! One feature I think would be insanely useful for your website (if even possible) if when you mention a game, include a link to the store page for it. Not sure if it's possible but every time I read articles like this one I have to close the site, open the Xbox app, the search for the game you were talking about to wishlist or download. Cheers!

@Ricky-Spanish The game has an insanely huge bunch of costumes, weapon skins, weapons, win animations, emblems, calling tags, helmets and more. And all of it is unlock able by doing random challenges that you can achieve in one match or a few. It's a brilliant system that keeps me coming back and I've never felt the need to spend any money. In fact I'd say it's so player friendly it's probably why they don't use the system in later cod entries 😂 the term loot boxes is weird here because they are loot boxes but they're not as we imagine them as paid boxes, they are part of the non paid gameplay if you want them to be to unlock cool new stuff. I've played WWII for hundreds of hours and I'm always shocked because in still unlocking new stuff every few games. It's insane how they created so much content.

You unlock perks through gameplay itself and levelling up along with select calling tags and stuff. But when you play it you'll see just how fun the "loot boxes" are, they make every match way more fun and jn tense and again totally cost free 👌

WWII is my favourite Call of Duty game of all time. I'm a dad of two now and thought I'd ping since passed the golden age of COD as I grew up with Cod 4 and MW2. But WWII is amazing. I the multiplayer has loot boxes but they are not paid and every time you play you can set yourself a challenge to unlock one, totally free. I've played WWII an ungodly amount of time and I'm really happy to see that more players will be coming on to enjoy it.
