For me it was black ops 3, mainly for zombies which was a great game for that mode, then not long after that the Xbox one disc drive became faulty whilst I had really bad download speeds at the time so i grinded that game with nothing else to play on xbox for about three years, I got to the top 1000 range on the leaderboard but then a unlimited death machine glitch for all maps was found, it ruined the competitive flow on the leaderboard so I gave up after that.
If you know for a fact that people will still blow 70 beans on this popular game then.. delaying it for gamepass isn't a bad move but i wont be paying for it out right that's for sure. (Call of Duty)
Now if it ends up being possible to stream via YouTube that would be the cherry on top but I imagine some kind of conflict has happened in the past between the two.
I am one that bought & uses a series s for emulation and for that reason only, it will be offline forever as a dedicated emulation/movies machine due to me having an old Xbox one and a high-end pc, I haven't checked yet on the old console to see but I know you can't have a look at the social tab via the Xbox website so if that is included with the ban I have been suspended but oh well I've won either way.
Looking at the sixth console in that picture, a stick of rock from sea side springs to mind, but i am contemplating on getting the black console because the current one I have has hit the limit already with 3 games only.
Now with Xbox acquiring ABK, hopefully they can get those dusty old games out of vault 713 that still have plenty of nostalgia ,appreciation & memories not long after devouring some MTX revenue from cod and the like.
@gollumb82 Great shout i emulated SOF not so long ago but not many, they will think they are crap, most people only play COD, FIFA, Fortnite these days.
@RetroMan71 Yeah man, I'm hoping they bring Scarface, GUN, and Simpsons Hit & Run for example but I think they have their eyes on the live service type of games only to be honest because the current Activision Blizzard catalogue is just that really along with Microsoft's games at the moment excluding hi-fi rush, I dislike them all but I do enjoy a bit of Minecraft with the family.
Now dust off the Vivendi Games, Sierra Entertainment, Vicarious Visions, Neversoft catalogues, we don't care about call of duty trying to be fartnite with stupid super heroes.
But the main question is if they didn't acquire Bethesda what else would we have seen at the recent showcase that could be coming out towards the fourth quarter, holiday season besides maybe a 6th version of gears 6?
I don't mind 30fps as along as the motion blur isn't super heavy but I'm contemplating on upgrading my GPU 😆just for 60fps atleast, hopefully a 3090 will do the trick with all the bells & whistles.
The harsh reality is, the Xbox is a media device now not a dedicated gaming console, excluding YouTube via TV and the console, most people have other devices to watch and consume other forms of media but if there isn't a top eye catching IP like let's say Spider-Man then people (especially kids) are not going to be running to you waving their money in the air, they need one big time instead of focusing on the subscription-xcloud route with games funded and developed on a budget, it's just like Disney+ & Netflix, they all become junk in the short term, most people only know & play "AAA" games, COD GTA & Fortnite and that's the problem.
I use the original Xbox one for movies in bed but my god its super sluggish without an SSD just loading up the xbox user interface compared to the new consoles, I was playing COD WWII, loading up the class load out system when inside a lobby with a timer changing a few attachments quickly before a game starts, the asset's (guns) loading on screen do set you back a couple of seconds because of it. The lack of stronger/faster WiFi frequencies on that thing is a bummer especially when paying for 500mbs, the console likes to receive roughly 70mbs only most of the time but all in all I do have a Series X now and the Xbox one was used for retail emulation but with that now nuked it's just junk at the bottom of my bedroom shelf ready to be turned on for a random movie night.
It's sounds about right that the CMA have overestimated it all, it's just like parliament with plenty of political waffle, nothing gets done until a year later but it's still all tied in a birds nest.
(But it could said there is an end goal in mind to stop making them eventually)
With the way they go about things over the past 15 years, It seems they want it to be that way for easy sleazy software sales along with government entities pushing green agendas reducing e-waste, I hope there is a console in the next 10 years but if not I'll upgrade my pc every so often, more then ever, get the biggest hard- drive & stick to emulation every time the current generation ends before fully digital forms of media or entertainment are the norm.
@Gamingforlife They are very "exclusive" people, in a high social class that feel a hierarchy because all of their games (that are not always the best) are not available to everyone.
Thanks for the insight (the review) I've just pre-ordered, I was going to jump straight into the latest Sniper Elite 5 game but this seems more appealing and not to long so I'll give this a shot first.
Was hoping to see Dragon Ball Z Kakarot on the list, I wouldn't mind the full current package but due to all the dlc adding up the price I think I'll wait for a while.
