@Chaotic_Neutral Same here. Came here to say that. It's ridiculous that Samsung TVs have Funimation, but not Crunchyroll. It's a Sony app, and even Xbox has it!
Modern controls means you hold up and press A a bunch of times to get to cutscenes and eventually the end of the game. Either way, I can't wait to experience Tomb Raider as an interactive movie.
@NoLifeDGenerate The white colour is unfortunate but it's a great controller with great software that works on Xbox. You can even set up profiles like for FPS and Racing or whatever, and you can switch them without going in the app. It also can do 1000hz polling rate now (but shuts off the soundboard).
You can always take the faceplate off and paint it if you want. Or they sell them on Chinese sites, with weird cartoons on them.
I've also heard that Hyperkin is making one but my experience with them doesn't make me wanna buy anything from them again.
Are we gonna see some good Activision or Blizzard games come to GP, or is the thing to be excited about now when an old ass game like Killer Instinct or Beyond Good and Evil gets a minor update disguised as a rerelease?
@FraserG I hope so. It's a great game. I'm not good at it as I am at other fighters, but it's mechanics are so interesting. It also has an awesome style.
The new console generation doesn't start until Nintendo releases a new console. Right now it's generation 8.5. Once the Super Switch or whatever they're doing comes out, we'll start to see something that looks like a whole new generation of consoles from the whole industry.
Yeah, I got a full screen ad for it when I turned on my Xbox today. Haven't seen one benefit to gamers since they bought Activision, but at least I know who wants my money most.
The sports thing sounds nice. Unfortunately it's only in the US. It'll be interesting to see if it's anything like the old XSN, and breaks out of just the US.
It's a great service. I prefer being limited to a selection of great games. The only problem right now is that I'm unable to install games remotely with the app like I was able to do with XGPU. Yet I'm able to uninstall games remotely.
@Skedaddle I thought of that. I personally would pick Hockey or Baseball, but if there can only be one sport, it would have to be the world's most popular sport, which is soccer... for some reason lol.
The only thing it's really missing is a sports game. It would be nice to see EA throw in a sports game like FIFA to get people interested in their service too since it's included in XGPU. Plus EA makes money on the people who like paying to play draft games.
It doesn't look good with the top exposed. That's why there are few pictures showing it. I understand that it needs to be open on the top for the vents, but it simply doesn't look good, it looks like a cardboard toy castle.

Re: First Two Xbox Exclusives Coming To 'Rival Consoles' Reportedly Revealed
Hi-fi Rush and SoT are best suited for Nintendo, and Pentiment is such a nerdy game that it could only do well on PC and Xbox.
Re: Xbox Supposedly 'Very Surprised' At The Extent Of The Latest Rumours
Surprised? Lol people go crazy about things hidden on shelves in the background of Xbox videos.
Re: Talking Point: Which Apps Do You Use The Most On Your Xbox?
@Chaotic_Neutral Same here. Came here to say that. It's ridiculous that Samsung TVs have Funimation, but not Crunchyroll.
It's a Sony app, and even Xbox has it!
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Expect To See From Microsoft's Update On The Future Of Xbox?
I'm almost positive it has something to do with Nintendo.
Re: Xbox Fans Urged To Remain Calm As Emotions Run Wild On Social Media
MLB The Show is a PlayStation game on Xbox, it's even on Game Pass. And here we are, nothing changed.
Re: Xbox's Gaming Revenue Receives Huge 49% Boost YoY From Activision Blizzard Acquisition
We supported this and have yet to get anything out of it.
Next time MS wants to buy out a company I won't be so excited about it.
Re: Halo Infinite Says Goodbye To 'Seasons' With Community Montage
I guess all the old stuff is going in the store where we can pay real money for fake things that we can't even see.
RIP Halo Infinite.
Re: Microsoft Cuts 1,900 Jobs Across Xbox, Bethesda And Activision Blizzard Teams
@EvenStephen7 We get Activision games on game pass?
Re: Microsoft Cuts 1,900 Jobs Across Xbox, Bethesda And Activision Blizzard Teams
We didn't get anything from the Activision deal, and a lot of people lost their jobs. But Microsoft is a great company. All hail Microsoft!
Re: Xbox Introduces New 'Indie Selects' Collection, Separate To Xbox Game Pass Lineup
Isn't that just ads?
Re: Xbox Appears To Dismiss 'Shadow Drop' Talk For Developer Direct 2024
Well that's boring. And they still haven't put out an Activision game on GP.

Re: Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered Features Modern Control Scheme & 'A Few More Surprises'
Modern controls means you hold up and press A a bunch of times to get to cutscenes and eventually the end of the game.
Either way, I can't wait to experience Tomb Raider as an interactive movie.
Re: Ubisoft Wants Players To 'Feel Comfortable Not Owning Games' In Future
I am comfortable with that. What I'm not comfortable with is supporting one publisher who thinks their small library is worth more than game pass.

Re: Xbox Insider Update Adds Controller 'Thumbstick Calibration' Tool
Best to just get a hall effect controller like the GameSir G7se.
Re: Pixel Strike 3D Has Already Exploded Into The 'Top Free' Xbox Charts
Sounds great, and as soon as they put an option to invert the Y-axis for looking I'll give it a shot.
Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon In December 2023
Why is Clone Drone only the Series version?
Re: Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition Xbox Listing Appears On Microsoft Store
Are we gonna see some good Activision or Blizzard games come to GP, or is the thing to be excited about now when an old ass game like Killer Instinct or Beyond Good and Evil gets a minor update disguised as a rerelease?
Re: Killer Instinct: Anniversary Edition Announced For Xbox And PC
@FraserG I hope so. It's a great game. I'm not good at it as I am at other fighters, but it's mechanics are so interesting. It also has an awesome style.
Re: Killer Instinct: Anniversary Edition Announced For Xbox And PC
It's not even coming to Game Pass!?
Re: There's A Potential New Candidate For 'Worst Xbox Game Of The Year'
The most popular Walking Dead games were interactive comic books. How is this any worse?
Re: Xbox Dev Explains Major Design Challenges Caused By The 1TB Xbox Series S
Yeah, I don't buy it.
If that was the case they would have similar problems with all the custom controller colours they make.
Re: Talking Point: Xbox Series X|S Has Been Out For Three Years, And It's Now Hitting Its Stride
The new console generation doesn't start until Nintendo releases a new console.
Right now it's generation 8.5.
Once the Super Switch or whatever they're doing comes out, we'll start to see something that looks like a whole new generation of consoles from the whole industry.
Re: Xbox Wants 'All Of The Games' In Its Portfolio To Matter, Not Just Huge IP
They can't even handle all the studios they have now.
Re: Microsoft Says 'No' To Horror Game That's Apparently 'Too Crazy For Xbox'
Xbox went soft so they can suck up to Nintendo.
Re: Some Xbox Fans Aren't Happy About 'Intrusive' Call Of Duty: MW3 Ads
Some people 🐑 here can't wait to play games filled with product placement and ads everywhere.
Re: Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's Campaign 'Early Access' Is Now Live
Yeah, I got a full screen ad for it when I turned on my Xbox today.
Haven't seen one benefit to gamers since they bought Activision, but at least I know who wants my money most.
Re: New Xbox Policy To Block Unauthorised Accessories
It's fine until something you bought is no longer covered under their license agreement, and it's been too long to return it.
Re: This Diablo 4 Custom Console Is So Epic It Doesn't Even Look Like An Xbox
Microsoft is so eco friendly lol.
Re: Activision Says Xbox Can 'Take Games In The Library And Remake Them' Post-Acquisition
I'd like a compilation of Atari 2600 (and others from that time) Activision games. And done like how Digital Eclipse does them.
Re: Trepang2 Makes The 'Top Paid' Xbox Charts Following Five-Star Xbox Launch
@Fishticon Damn this game has a long and boring unskippable opening lol.
Re: Trepang2 Makes The 'Top Paid' Xbox Charts Following Five-Star Xbox Launch
I never played BLACK but if its anything like this, I wanna try it. It's on EA Play, I'm gonna install it right now.
Re: Video: Forza Motorsport Comparison Shows Difference Between Xbox Versions
I can't tell the difference at all, but the Series S loads faster.
Series S for the win!
Re: Xbox Cloud Gaming Launches In VR On Meta Quest This December
It reminds me of those lame early headsets that would only display a large TV screen.
But it's a start.
Re: Here's What's Included In September 2023's 'Bonus' Xbox Update
The sports thing sounds nice. Unfortunately it's only in the US. It'll be interesting to see if it's anything like the old XSN, and breaks out of just the US.
Re: As Of Last April, Xbox Series S Accounted For 75% Of Microsoft's Current-Gen Console Sales
Not that surprising with the inflation of food and everything else.
Gamers need to eat too.
Re: Call Of Duty Opening Cinematic Introduces Modern Warfare's First-Ever Zombies Mode
Zombies in a video game?.. WILD!
Re: Talking Point: Xbox Live Gold Members, Are You Happy With The Game Pass Core Launch Titles?
It's a great service. I prefer being limited to a selection of great games.
The only problem right now is that I'm unable to install games remotely with the app like I was able to do with XGPU. Yet I'm able to uninstall games remotely.
Re: Xbox Reveals Full List Of 36 Games Included With Game Pass Core
@Skedaddle I thought of that.
I personally would pick Hockey or Baseball, but if there can only be one sport, it would have to be the world's most popular sport, which is soccer... for some reason lol.
Re: Xbox Reveals Full List Of 36 Games Included With Game Pass Core
The only thing it's really missing is a sports game. It would be nice to see EA throw in a sports game like FIFA to get people interested in their service too since it's included in XGPU.
Plus EA makes money on the people who like paying to play draft games.
Re: Xbox Reveals Full List Of 36 Games Included With Game Pass Core
I like it. I downgraded because of money reasons. I'm really happy with this list of games I can still play.
Re: Xbox's Latest Controller Design Goes All Spiritual With An 'Astral Purple' Theme
Astral Purple is a controller from our imagination
And when it's fall
It's what we call an Xbox pad sensation!

Re: Megan Fox Revealed As The Voice Of Nitara In New Mortal Kombat 1 Trailer
"Mortal Kombat, it's been around since gaming was around"
Re: 'Rise Of The Triad: Ludicrous Edition' Is The Next '90s FPS Making Its Way To Xbox
The store says it's not available separately, but it doesn't say what I need to get it.
Too complicated, should be on Game Pass.
Re: Microsoft Pulls Xbox Game Pass Trial Ahead Of Starfield Release
Because they know people won't be talking about Starfeild after 2 weeks, but they'll still have GP at a loss.
Re: Xbox Boss Warns Of Potential Delays With ActiBlizz Titles On Game Pass
Don't worry though, it's still a win win for everyone.
The gamers will get something out of this merger... Hahahahahaha!
Re: Starfield Xbox Series X Console Wrap Spotted In-Person, And It Looks Even More Beautiful
It doesn't look good with the top exposed. That's why there are few pictures showing it.
I understand that it needs to be open on the top for the vents, but it simply doesn't look good, it looks like a cardboard toy castle.
Re: Microsoft Announces Plan To Sell Activision Cloud Gaming Rights To Ubisoft
Sounds like Game Pass Ultimate is gonna have another price jump.
Re: Konami Confirms Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Performance Targets On Xbox
Can't even port a bunch of old games to XB1.
I suspect a horrible port and horrible reviews to follow.
