Hearing emulation sounds good to me. Hopefully it's to do with Activision's older catalogue but it will be for something else primarily first and foremost.

@Moby Yeah count me in on that.

Yes yes and private equity.

They need to remove a few layers of the always online and needing WiFi to set it up. A good few of my mates won't get one for that reason but saying that I wasn't smart enough to know about it when the Xbox one came out, I didn't have WiFi and it was my first worst experience ever getting a new console and I have had the biggest distaste for the Xbox brand ever since especially when the service/servers go down 😂

Attempting to beat the silverback in dead ops arcade 2 (Black Ops 3)

Wow GTA V at the top spot, it seems there is a lot of nagging kids still that ask their not well informed grandparents or cool uncles to buy them it 😂.

The eggs box series egg.

No but this one feels like a short/slow generation so far and a slightly boring one at that to me anyways.

I've seen more marketing garbage updates for cloud streaming like the Amazon fire stick and the official Xbox website being cloud compatible then the console itself.

They really really want this to be the standard in the future.

Just give us gold back for god's sake 😂

At this point I would happily have gold back at a fair price just to play online with the lads because I don't want to be carry on paying for that one game I purchased out right like call of duty for example.

If I'm staying subscribed to lets say game pass ultimate monthly for twelve months straight in GBP, whilst playing & buying Call of Duty only, it would cost people just short of £250 or more in whatever currency for that one year.

So no thanks I'll stick to steam & avoid the rinsing via online embedded pay subscriptions because at that the end of the day life is life, business is business and they win at the end of the day either way no matter the option someone may choose.

No, Black ops 3 would be better but I suppose people want the latest stuff to consume.

They have fully updated the Xbox website to be cloud gaming compatible as well and now this. They really want this to be the standard in the future but I think people won't accept it for what it is.

Bugs Bunny & Taz: Time Busters

@OldGamer999 Count me in on that, it's ridiculous, what are they thinking.

It would be excellent if they do a strategy guide volume 3 book with future press for this game/dlc.

The last time I saw a advertisement for Xbox was when the new generation got accounced so I don't know what this guy was doing.

@Eejay Yup, the Hollywood disease.

@Eejay It's like developers are sat with a gun to their heads as they work, knowing that unless they produce the "most successful game ever", it's all over for them.

Because a shareholder is sat in their sun lounger with a cigar, a blue movie looking star and a super car parked outside looking at their Investments.

We cannot disappoint them.

Trying to complete a flawless 9 relic run on the Call of Duty Ghost's extinction mode on the map called Nightfall.

No, I already have the white 500gb series S model with retail emulation that needs to be offline forever but I am after a second hand black series S though so I don't get confused and connect the white one to the internet randomly but it's not only for that but for a couple of games with the lads on the new upcoming Call of Duty game or GTA 6 because cheaters, hackers, griefers on PC an all that.

@Lrapsody I know right, I have 500mbps and it goes down to 30 when playing, I always thought it is was baffling.

@Feffster Yeah I thought that also, good shout.

Jeez 300gb, its going to be very annoying for the people that have the original series s and no other storage devices.

B....If they announced Doritos Crash Course 3 I would give it an A, and this is a little outlandish but if they announced the speculative upcoming handheld I would have given it an A+.

Grand Theft Auto IV.

C.....Phantom Blade Zero & Black Myth: Wukong was great but anything else didn't interest me.

Have they added an offline mode?, I remember that was one of the biggest gripes when it was first announced.

I'm going to be brutally honest, I think it needs to be buried.

The Warriors

With a new Lord of the Rings movie coming out that is apparently gollum focused it may have done well if it was developed for longer and released around the time the movie comes out in a couple of years but I suppose once the money jar is about to run out that lost money needs to be recouped eventually before it's too late.

@DoomGuy_117 Same, for me personally the zombies mode hasn't being that good since black ops 3, it was a solid game, I feel like that product was developed with zombies mostly in mind but I'm hoping this new one maybe similar.

Hopefully not live service never ending type of games like most but sekiro, crash and spyro was appreciated though.

Ghosts but mainly for the extinction mode.

Legend of Kay.

This is subliminal waffle reassuring investors whilst making sure a great job is being done because the overlord boss is listening/watching from afar.

@Kevw2006 Yup, it would be great and a dumb idea buying it now though 😅, you can never win these days against these companies, they have always got a trick up their sleeves.

It will be great for them because if Call of Duty is the only game that people play after buying it and then subscribing just to play online for let's say two years straight they get more money and the player pays even more for it.

I've been telling a mate of mine recently about it, he thinks using gamepass ultimate is a great deal but he only plays battlefield 2042 through it. The game released in 2021 so in the long run, this year in November the amount of money wasted will be £468, he could of payed for it once and saved 400 in the span of three years.

Even though they're popular, eliminating any sort of live service games to be viewable like Fortnite, Roblox, Warzone etc etc on the storefront is something that could possibly lure people in to buy or subscribe to new games, it could create new popular games & communities and make other developers/publishers especially indie developer's some money instead of the same companies raking it in due to their system that never ends leading people to not know anything better that has created the turmoil of today in the gaming industry.

Some may disagree but ever since those line of products came on to the market all those years ago the industry has kind of gone tits up.

At this point with all the layoffs I like to assume the reason why they are all doing this is because GTA 6 is coming out soon, not many people are going to play anyone's game but GTA so I respect them cutting costs for a little while especially at the moment because most people just play constant rewarding predatory never ending addicting garbage like Call of Duty, Fortnite, Minecraft, Roblox, FIFA and nothing else.

@Ricky-Spanish Most definitely man.

Chusty, the recent ones are enjoyable so bring it on.

@ZYDIO Yeah same, I used to have plenty in the attic.

@Scummbuddy Yup greedy pigs, all for fast cars and 10 bedroom houses they never live in and use.

@ZYDIO *uck that, to much clutter.

I assume one day it will not be possible to download anything that isn't playable on the current generation of consoles so to me getting a rgh modded 360 console whilst currently having a series s offline with retail emulation is a great idea for the future, all that would be needed is a PS5 and a up to date PC then people would be set on all fronts, old and new.

Id really love it to be a zombies standalone game due to the dogs/wolves in the picture that are similar to those in the map mobb of the dead but I don't think it will ever happen because the round based mode doesn't really create the best player retention especially for players not being in and out of the menus for micro-transactions because people do a Easter egg or a high round attempt and then rage quit or just quit afterwards but a man can dream I suppose.

Currently The Ascent.

This reminds me of the zombies iteration in the Call of Duty WWII game along with one of the dlc maps from Black Ops 4 called Dead of The Night, I'll give this a try when possible.
