The developer isn't wrong about that, my mate never ever sticks to one game and completes it, I think its five games he plays or something like that in a week, sometimes he will do a new save on Skyrim or whatever (chuff that) so seeing that i just have one game downloaded whereas my mate has like thirty downloaded but i suppose having a selection of games ready to play is great an everything.
@Kaloudz Well compared to todays standards definitely not but if you have an old system it would be best to just randomly find it in a charity shop or something or just emulate it to be honest until this package comes out.
So we have to pay a subscription to play console only games that we have purchased over the years and those games are only available through the cloud.
Its kind of bad to be honest, especially for those that have never used a pc for gaming because the amount of games on the xbox pc app compared to the console store is quiet small and not all of them are on the "play anywhere" programme.
@M0RDECAI13 Oh that's a shame then but oh well and with the naval battles with battlefield 6 there wasn't any in the past couple of games so I'm just going of that really.
I am on the fence with battlefield 6 due to it possibly not having naval battles like the previous game so seeing this I think I'll give it a try but the fast sliding movement was kinda off-putting.
@adderblack39 It's basically graffiti tagging with objectives in areas with stealth, avoiding authorities and rival gangs and engaging in combat when detected plus fighting bosses in a certain area along with climbing, getting over obstacles and what not.
@GamerScore200K I know right, all of my mates kids nag and nag to play it and if they get at least half hour to play it (some do, some don't) all of them just want to use that jet bike thing 😂 which shows how the game got in the state it is in or was in over the years.
But on that note, it will hurt their sales for GTA 6 that's for sure especially if a parent cannot get around it for their kids.
Just another step to a greater initiation which will be censoring and regulating the internet across the board so on that note I've just download Wikipedia outright before they get their mittens on that.
I think Xbox's cloud gaming, in the future, will become some sort of a standard to play my library of game's (which is small) and then if I don't pay for the service or I am randomly in a predicament were i cannot afford to pay for WiFi, I won't be able to access them.
No thank you.
Edit: and that is why my library of games with Xbox is small because i don't want to invest in their possible future ambitions.
I was hoping they would've released some backwards compatibility games that Activision has stored away but their primary focus is promoting games that are just live service, never ending type of games filled with micro-transactions from Activision like Call of Duty & Diablo 4 that keeps you subscribed for longer so on that note, I couldn't care less 😅
I think Call of duty should be cancelled but the live service micro-transactions are more important instead of the games that age well & appreciate over time.
I am against cloud gaming but it would be sweet if they could add an app to stream games on the 360 and give player's, who may not unfortunately be able to pay for a new console, a cheap limited subscription to use it but I can imagine the WiFi standard isn't really ideal for what the servers request for a good/standard experience playing a current release.
We all have our tastes and Final Fantasy has it's history leading people to know the name of the game but I'd like to believe a high majority of Xbox gamers are not into these Japanese/Anime (primarily Final Fantasy) looking type of games because many aren't conditioned into them when buying and playing all of them on an Xbox compared to Playstation but that's just my opinion.
Just partnering with another company is a safety measure in itself so it could be said Microsoft/Xbox hesitated doing it but having multiple stores in one operating system catches people/players in every net (stores) so id say that was their original intention and i don't blame them with the amount of product's they have in their portfolio now after acquiring Bethesda/Activision but oh well
By the looks of it, they're doing a live service type product but with a single player game. Yes most games do get updates, DLCs, expansion's and so on at the end or the start of a games lifecycle but having a roadmap, off the bat to add even the littlest of things to a single player game is crappy and a no go from me especially when buying it in the first month.
It should be 85% complete at launch not 50 but that is the industry now I suppose.
Oddly enough, I have seen something on the internet today were a user on the PC Xbox app, had a bug (It didn't work for me) that showed Xbox games on their account like 360 games and what not so hopefully they are rolling it out.
I can imagine that is where this discussion is stemming from but Videocardz did an article on it.

Re: ROG Xbox Ally Handheld Gets Official October 2025 Release Date
@Millionski "and even 5% of your library with play anywhere is better than 0 with steam deck if you have not used steam before"
Yeah agreed, it will be hard choice for any console gamer then when it comes to software (game's).
Re: ROG Xbox Ally Handheld Gets Official October 2025 Release Date
@Weebleman Yeah good shout but then it could be said, getting a steam deck oled instead would be the wiser option.
Edit: especially if one doesn't care about specs, graphics and high framerates.

Re: Microsoft Explains Why ROG Xbox Ally Price & Pre-Orders Haven't Been Announced Yet
I think so because some other company might have something in the development pipeline like Sony for example but I could be wrong.

@Tasuki It could be said that this game is the perfect "messed up reality & universe" to cram all the silly micro-transactions in.

If anything it should be black ops 3.
Re: Talking Point: What Should Xbox Do To Celebrate Its 25th Anniversary Next Year?
Announce that gold will be returning for those that don't want the standard gamepass subscription or gamepass at all.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Hoping To See At Gamescom 2025?
Maybe a quick advertisement piece possibly promoting an elite 3 controller?

@GamerScore200K I know right, all of my mates kids nag and nag to play it and if they get at least half hour to play it (some do, some don't) all of them just want to use that jet bike thing 😂 which shows how the game got in the state it is in or was in over the years.
But on that note, it will hurt their sales for GTA 6 that's for sure especially if a parent cannot get around it for their kids.

Re: Two More Xbox Games Are Being Cancelled, Including Perfect Dark
I think Call of duty should be cancelled but the live service micro-transactions are more important instead of the games that age well & appreciate over time.
Re: Xbox Brings Another Call Of Duty To Game Pass Today (June 30)
If stats/progression carried over to the pc version I would sign up and play it but great game nonetheless, one of my favourites.

Re: ASUS Explains Why The ROG Xbox Ally Doesn't Have An OLED Screen
@Ricky-Spanish The answer is this.
https://youtu.be/8VkRzqKBax8?si=b8mjdpudn-BSfcve
It is horrible watching a dark scene in a movie and all you can see is the white/grey backlight especially in dark themed game's.
Ignore the edgy music and what not.
Re: Starfield Fans Voice Their Concerns About Future Support And Updates
They don't fix the bugs in their other products so it's silly to expect more from a company like bethesda.
