Re: GTA Insider Shares First Look At Age Verification Checks For GTA Online

EdgarTheBug

@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: Rumour: Xbox Is Working On Next-Gen Cloud Gaming, Including PC-Based Streaming

EdgarTheBug

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.

Re: Xbox 360 Dashboard Gets Significant Update For First Time In Ages

EdgarTheBug

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.

Re: According To Sales Estimates, Final Fantasy 16 Had A Rough First Week On Xbox

EdgarTheBug

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.

Re: Xbox First-Party Handheld Plans 'Essentially Cancelled', Claims Report

EdgarTheBug

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

Re: MindsEye Dev Shares 'Sincere Apology' With Xbox Hotfix Now In The Works

EdgarTheBug

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.

Re: No, The ROG Xbox Ally Handheld Doesn't Play Native Console Games

EdgarTheBug

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: Xbox Announces 'Retro Classics' For Game Pass, 50+ Activision Titles Included

EdgarTheBug

Streaming old games as old as this is a no go from me along with streaming games in general but because they're that old with an entertainment value length like a bag of fries/chips I wouldn't feel bad just downloading a couple of favourites and be done with them but Microsoft is Microsoft with their all digital cloud future mindset so being able to download them won't happen.

Re: 'Huge' Number Of People Cancelling DOOM Pre-Orders Over 'Botched Physical Release'

EdgarTheBug

The crazy reality is there is discs out there made by researcher's and scientists that can hold big amounts of data in the terabyte range.

One of them is called Very Big Disc™ (odd name) I assume funding doesn't get placed for it from certain industries but even if it did the gaming industry wouldn't standardise them because going digital is best for margins and profits.

It's unfortunate.
