I'm sure most who still play on 360, get their games as physical copies at a discount anyway.

@themightyant I played the demo a while back, and STILL don't know what it is.

Great stuff. More delayed games on Xbox.
Why not delay ALL the games till 2030 so they work real good?

It's official, they killed Halo.
Halo is dead, long live MCC... Till they ruin that too.

@Sebatrox because they've been unusually silent since December, and people want answers and for it to go back to a steady stream of games on GP.
This event would be a good platform to talk about that.

I'm disappointed already.
Probably gonna unsubscribe from Game Pass, as I'm sure many others will do as they continue with the slow drops.
At least I hope people will, because there's no reason to support it if they suddenly changed in December and then keep it that way while being silent on the issue.

If they don't mention why there's been less additions to GP and if they're gonna go back to how it was, I can see a mass exodus happening in February.

You forgot Super Mega Baseball.

On Xbox one it has an annoying input delay.

I think Xbox is gonna ditch Halo like they did Gears, and become the Valve of cloud gaming.
They don't have time for Halo, they don't need it either. All they need is for people to subscribe to Game Pass.

A lot more going out than coming in.
That's gonna be the state of subscribers too if this trend continues.

I don't get why Redfall is popular. It's just Fallout 76 with vampires.

Isn't Ubisoft doing a game service thing like Game Pass?
It seems to me that doing those takes away from putting out quality games.
But really, people don't want quality, they just want the next new piece of trash.

Xbox is depressed.

Release dates are pointless because they can always be changed.

I heard GP was supposed to get Street Fighter Anniversary too.
GP is a mess right now. But does it matter? More than half of the community will support anything they do. Hell, I've seen people supporting the idea of ads in games. GP could increase the price by 30%, only put out indie shovelware, and still retain more than half it's subs.

I remember when games would COME to Game Pass.

Is Game Pass dead?

These video game board games never sell well. It's always an overly complicated ruleset that takes a lot of reading and studying before hand. The problem is that most video gamers have no interest in doing that, it's why they choose video games.

Why would I play some slow boring version of Gears when I can simply play the video game?
And I'm not saying that board games are boring, I collect and play them all the time. But I would never buy a board game because it's based on a video game, and I know damn well that the average gamer would have no interest in finding the time to learn it.

Soulcalibur 6 is like 90% off. I picked that one up. I used to play it a lot when it was on GP.
It's the only fighting game I know of that lets you customize and edit characters so much that it feels like an RPG.
Fantastic game as well. It's like Virtua Fighter 5 but with swords.

Sometimes I dream about having so much extra money where I can invite friends over to look at the realism of leaves.
But I'm stuck enjoying the games as a poor sap on my XB1.

@HelloCraig on YouTube? When's it go up?

It's a shame to see the golf game leave. I played that a lot and was gonna play again.
It's too bad they don't have a comparable golf game on either service.

The way EA Play keeps dropping things and not adding much new content makes me think they're putting an end to the service in the coming year.

I'm enjoying it. I find the humor pretty hilarious, it's entertaining, and a well-rounded game.
But what do I know? I'm not a professional reviewer who gives boring garbage like Pentiment a high score.

I hope we see more funny and fun games, and less ugly and boring games. But thanks to paid reviewers, we'll see more lame, ugly shovelware.

Must be done by the same people who never work on the community app, or the many other broken leftovers of the Xbox platform.

Seriously, Xbox feels like a broken wasteland where workers just gave up on projects left to rot on the service.

@XxEvilAshxX I don't know that part. Usually takes me less than 2 mins to get into any game mode.
But you can always go in the community server browser and pick out one with a good ping and player count.

Wow, thrilling.
Does that really need teasing?

Insurgency sandstorm came on GP at the wrong time.
With BF2042 and MW2, there's really no reason to play a sub par military game. The graphics of Insurgency remind me of Urban Terror, which is a way more fun game imo.

On XB1 it looks worse than BF4, a lot worse.
I don't know why, because BF5 and BF1 look amazing on XB1.

@FraserG I was wondering about Darktide, thanks.
With each Game Pass announcement it looks more and more like I should get a PC rather than a Xbox Series S or X to replace my XB1.

The hype for this game is crazy.
A simple "this is a good game" would even be over the top for how boring it looks.

Football Manager is easier to control and has way better onboarding this time.
I know just about nothing about footb.. soccer, and I'm having fun with it.
I'd like to see OOTP Baseball on console done like this.

Habbo Hotel for Xbox CONFIRMED!

Who sent them the feedback that we need a search and settings UI on the home screen?
Like really, why? And Y.

@FatalBubbles I tried a female league game the other night, it felt like playing NHL 94 since they're MUCH faster.
I'll have to try a men's vs women's game and see how that goes.

If the images in a game have to be censored on the platform, then the game shouldn't be allowed to be played on the platform at all.
Xbox needs to grow a pair.

It looks really nice, but my first thought was the PS3 Boomerang controller.

@pip_muzz I'm sure the devs are supported either way.
Without Game Pass, you wouldn't be able to try a game before buying it.
It's never been a guarantee that a game stays on GP, just like it was never a guarantee that a game stays at Blockbuster.

@pip_muzz The point of being subscribed to Game Pass is to try games before you buy them.
It's like a video store. You might rent a game a few times before you buy it, and you might have to buy it because the video store doesn't have it anymore.

So, HyperScape?

@Cthulhu18 Just because I'm telling my
bad experience doesn't mean I'm being paid by the competition.
I don't have to like everything Xbox. It's not a cult.
How much you being paid by Microsoft?

Microsoft just sucks at making accessories.
Another example is the Xbox Wireless Headset. Mine cracked at the part where the mic button is because it fell out of my hand, about 4 inches from my table. It's made out if the cheapest plastic.

But it doesn't matter, because people will continue to buy their stuff. And they can make them worse, while charging more.

It's not remastered at all. GoldenEye on N64 had dual analog stick support, using 2 controllers per player. It also had widescreen.
Do a google image search for "GoldenEye emulator", and you'll see the exact same graphic quality.

We are getting the EXACT same thing as what the Switch gets, but with a missing feature, online multiplayer... On Xbox, a console that we PAY for online multiplayer, and they pride themselves on having the best infrastructure for online play.

This is just sad. It's a joke.

I don't understand the people who are alright with this. You're the reason publishers give us these half-assed games. You just take it, so they keep on sellin it.
Is that what you want? You want Microsoft to turn into Nintendo? A company that just does what they want, and never listens to the fans. And Sony doesn't listen to fans either. So MS is the last company listening to fans, and you guys don't even care, and wanna ruin that.
You're like a person in society who sees their country being taken over by communism, and you're just like "oh well, it is what it is".

@BartoxTharglod I remember I used to play GoldenEye with 2 controllers for one player, and an option that let you control it like that.
You're right, there doesn't seem to be anything new in this version.

It has different coloured balls now!

I think they'll make up for it by increasing the Game Pass fees after the ActivBlizzard goes through and they put some of their games on there.

It would be a bold and smart move. People would be able to buy a console cheaper than PS5, and be able to justify it by paying a bit more for a game service with a lot more selection.

I think a company could take over Nintendos place in the industry.
All that's really needed there is a new kid-centric platform that actually has new games.
But a company that actually listens to their users, and makes changes because of them.

Any word on new additions to EA Play on Xbox?

Another overpriced and cheaply made controller to test how gullible people still are.
