Re: Marvel's Avengers Is Heading To Xbox Game Pass This Thursday

@UltimateOtaku91 The rumours about them grabbing another studio, speculation that they would try get a Japanese studio, that's where I got my opinion from.

And opinion.

Mostly made in jest.

But that's where it came from, I guess.

Though to get more in depth I suppose it came from the inside of my head.

Where my brain is.

Where thoughts are made in the thinking factory of delights, though to be fair the manager has been on a sabbatical these past few months, frolicking away in the land of imagination. Heard he stabbed a unicorn and stole the king of depressions crown.

Re: Don't Worry, Disney Classic Games Collection Will Have A $9.99 DLC Upgrade Option

I'm still stuck on the log level just like I was when I was a child. Lion King is my favourite film, ever, I use to watch it over and over on VHS, I can still recite the whole film and to this day watch it on my birthday, every birthday, much to my wife's displeasure haha. The game itself takes me right back...to hell! Every time I see that 16bit Rafiki I feel a part of me dies inside.

Aladdin however, I can smash through that with ease.

Never played the Jungle Book game before. My wife loves Jungle Book. Might get it for her

Lastly, I bet by next year they'll drop the Xbox game pass and just call it gamepass. To end the console war shenanigans. Xbox will be optional and most like the best hardware to play game pass on, but it won't be the driving force. I feel like they're investing in those indie developers, building relationships and supporting a variety of creators so that when gamepass becomes it's own sentient thing like Netflix, they'll be able to chug out triple A after triple A. It's a long game for the company. We'll see the light at 2022 and things will only get brighter from then.

Re: Xbox Updates Its Studio Web Page With Bethesda's Development Teams

Can't wait for the games to start rolling in, and I think it's a good thing that PlayStation for to experience the last of the Bethesda games before exclusivity on Xbox kicked in, it allowed them to see the quality and talent of the companies Microsoft have aquired, it also might convince a few to get gamepass for sequels etc 😊 I feel bad for hard-core Sony fans who won't get to play the next Bethesda game, but for those who love gaming in general, they have options. PC, Xbox, or Cloud. And yeah, this year haven't seen the benefits just yet, but we still got -
Forza
Halo
Back 4 Blood
The funk
And more

😀😀😊😊 I'm excited for next year

Re: Two More Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (September 28)

FriendlyOctopus

I feel like I'm getting fat on all these game pass day one games-
Psychonaughts 2
Aragami
Sable
Artful escape
And Lemnis gate
Then Back 4 Blood
Froza
Halo
The Gunkand

Not to mention Netflix hits like
Squid Game
Sex education
Midnight mass

My point is, seems like subscription services are hitting a golden moment right about now.

Sorry, just feel incredibly lucky and grateful for all the awesome content. I'm gaming more than ever these days and watching shows that are continuously blowing me away, not to mention the nostalgia attached to some of these things, Aragami brings back the Tenchu vibes and Squid Game reminds me of the awe I had for Battle Royal. Midnight Mass feels like an excellent adaption of a book and Sable reminds me of the old school games didn't hold your hand. On top of that I'm playing through the walking dead series.

Then I've got tons of books in catching up on hahah.

Lucky for me my wife is into all the same stuff 😊

Lastly, T Davies coming back to Doctor who...It truly feels like I'm a kid again.

Re: Halo Infinite's Second Technical Preview Is Off To An Impressive Start

@Dezzy70 I see you're passionate about triple A, but you can see how it starting to sound like a director's cut version of the "Xbox has no games" rhetoric. Just pointing out why some people might take offence. Also, consider not everyone on this site is as pumped or motivated by only triple A games. Just a heads up 😊 I understand though, Xbox has promised more triple A but without gameplay trailers it's asking a lot for us to believe them. But they're coming.
whether they are to your taste is a different matter entirely. You might find that they don't appeal to you. Something worth thinking on.

Re: Video: Alan Wake Remastered Gets A Side-By-Side Comparison Trailer

@Dezzy70 Crossfire X campaign is made by Remedy 🙂 probably looking at 2022. As for remaster yeah, way too many, one of the reasons my bro sold his PS5. (Director cuts lol) He's on PC now. 2022 is a make or break moment for xbox, in term and the wider sphere. Xbox won't ever go broke, millions of players have already invested, but if they wanna get that crown back, gotta be 2022 or else lol

Re: Xbox Says ‘Gatekeeping And Elitism’ Have No Place In Gaming

FriendlyOctopus

@John117 You're right. This is a gaming site. I use to like.it. Massively toxic people in here, moaning and whining and declaring what gaming should be. It's tragic, really. Maybe it's turned me a bit toxic. Probably has. Then again, the whole comment section of any platform will likely be super negative. I've come to the realisation today that humans are just terrible. I cringe at myself for trying to communicate with others. Even in this corner of society where gaming should be fun, there are arguments just as vile and shallow as political ones. How does a person maintain any state of positivity when the majority of humans around them are prone to negativity? This whole page is about making games more accessible and it's turned into a massive debate about what and how a game should be played. I'm not going to be one of those people who comment here and reply to replies and blah blah blah. Think the best thing to do is stop visiting this website altogether. I just wish there was a more analog way of getting my gaming news without someone's else opinion or backward remarks contaminating my zen. This world is getting more and more noisy with complaints and rife with disputatious personalities. Well, it's been a good attempt at talking to humans for a while, but I'll call it a day.

Re: Xbox Says ‘Gatekeeping And Elitism’ Have No Place In Gaming

Gotta love the type of people who perform outstanding mental gymnastics when trying to defend the "how it should be played" ethos. It's those type of gamers who couldn't master another hobby or learn a particular skill in real life and so get vigorously defensive over how a game that they're good at should be played, just so they can fill that illusory superiority need to feel special. It's like, I knew this guy, he was rubbish at most things but amazing at Mortal Kombat, played it on very hard, Every time he thrashed me and others online he would berate how they need to get good, stop relying on easy. That guy is single, still, and does nothing but play video games. Heh, nothing wrong with that, it's his life, but I got married, started to try and write a book, and learn new skills like the harmonica and ukulele and piano all the whole enjoying video games on the way I WANT TO PLAY THEM, not HOW THEY SHOULD BE PLAYED. It's a loser attitude by loser people who think gaming is anything but just a game. This whole discussion on itself is cringe. Play easy, have fun, screw the "specially talented gamer god" and do it your way.
