Re: 50 PS1 Games Will Be Coming To Xbox, Teases Antstream Arcade Dev

@Ricky-Spanish it's a subscription service but you have to pay yearly. Some very gullible people pay for "lifetime" access. The type of people who bought the Atari VCS or OUYA.
If you want to see what it's like to have lagging in a retro game, and have a horrible experience looking for games to play; this is the way to go

Re: Xbox Is Cutting 650 More Jobs, Confirms Phil Spencer In Letter To Employees

Fishticon

I'm glad to have supported the Activision buyout. I feel like I helped so many people find new jobs.
I can't wait for Microsoft to implement more AI into it's workflows so even more people get to look for more jobs.
Every time I buy an Xbox Game Studios game, pay for game pass, or buy a Microsoft product, I know that I'm helping kill the game industry.

Re: Poll: How Much Would You Pay For An Xbox Series X Pro?

Fishticon

How many games are ACTUALLY for this generation right now? Definitely less than the games that are for the previous generation that people are still playing.
On Game Pass there's only around 30 games that are JUST for the new consoles. And none of them have the graphics that were promised in the tech demos. Out of the 50 most played games on Xbox, only 2 of them require a new console.
So why would we need a pro console?

Re: Four Years Later, People Are Still Getting Confused By Xbox's 'Horrible' Console Names

Fishticon

If you look at the reviews for just about anything, you're gonna find some hilarious idiots.

Just last week I was buying a TTRPG supplement book on weapons, and there was a guy complaining that it's not a full game.
Another example is that for every single wired controller there are people complaining that they charged it fully but can't get it to work.
My favorite as of late though has to be the complaint that the manga book they ordered was printed upside down.

Re: Forza Horizon 4 Has A Ridiculously Good Discount On Xbox Right Now

What a great game! Even better than FH5 imo.
I like that it has very distinctive different weather. As a Canadian it's in my blood to drive on snow and ice.
Like the others, it feels like a car RPG or a caRPG lol. That being said, there's a finite amount of "quests" you can go on but it's so fun to collect cars and get high scores.

Re: Analysts Claim Xbox Game Pass Price Hikes Were 'Inevitable', And That An Ad-Tier Could Be Next

Fishticon

@IOI It really is mind boggling. You would think that with this tiered game pass news spreading they would drop something we actually want. An Activision game could be nice. The Activision bulk drop isn't happening anymore, and lately it's just been I indie games.
I actually like indie games but I get enough of them on the MUCH cheaper Google Play Pass.

Honestly I think they realized that GP isn't as profitable as they thought, so they're trying to kill it.

Re: Xbox Gaming Now Officially Available On Amazon Fire TV Stick

Fishticon

I resubbed just for this since I'm not at home and don't have Xbox with me, then I found out it only works on the 2023 fire stick 4k. They don't mention that outright, they make it sound like it works on any fire stick 4k. The supported devices list is 3 hard to find links deep.

Very annoyed.

Re: Atari Is Reviving Two More Of Its Classic Franchises On Xbox Very Soon

Fishticon

@TheGiraffe Not every game is for everyone.
I really like the stuff Atari puts out. I have several of the Recharged games and play them often. I also have Akka Arrh which is a fantastic and very trippy game from Jeff Minter.
And of course Atari 50.
Atari is putting out some great stuff lately, and I can't wait to play these.
