@LoquaciousB Same for me. Ubisoft don't release games often enough to justify the cost on a regular basis, but I'd do it if a game was released that I really wanted to play, but did not want to buy at retail costs, like 70 bucks or something.

Personally, it makes no difference to me ATM. I left the CoD fanboi ranks years' ago, and I have no interest in WoW, and aside from the soon to be released Diablo game, and the StarCraft franchise, there seems little interest in developing their other franchises at the moment. If this procurement does go through though, I sincerely hope MS looks long and hard at bringing their other franchises back into the light. Not all of us want another CoD game or WoW expansion from Activision Blizzard!

I am interested to see how this will stack up to Forza in terms of graphics, vehicle handling, and tracks!

Yeah, Sony. DOUBLE STANDARDS MY DUDES!!!!

I'm eager to get back into the game when the DLC releases.

I am so ready for Persona 5!!! Bring it on! I've heard nothing but positive feedback on P5, so I am keen to give it a go!

That's unfortunate. I was really hoping to get my hands on the new titles on Day 1. Oh well, so be it.

I'm glad you will be able to mute the startup sound. Everything else is neither here nor there for me!

Ni No Kuni, and of course, Deathloop. Everything else is okay, but not something I will play. Dyson Sphere Program I might give a try on my PC.

Drifting will have to become a major aspect of the game if it does hit the Land of the Rising Sun. They have some of the best roads for drifting.

Great news. I loved Two Point Hospital, and this game was on my watchlist, so I am super keen to get stuck into it.

@The_New_Butler I agree with almost everything you wrote. The game is not on Game Pass forever, and many people will still have to buy the full game if they missed the window of opportunity to take advantage of the title when it was on game pass. On top of that, so many games are adopting a GaaS structure that people are investing more extensively in the title. Plus, DLC is usually not part of that package. So there is still tons of opportunities for MS and publishers/developers to make money if they have released a great game!

I really, really, really, wish Doom Eternal has M&K support on Xbox. That is game that would definitely benefit from the precision of a M&K. I tried to play Doom Eternal with a controller on my XSX, but failed miserably. I've never used a console as my primary gaming platform - was always a PC boy - but now that my PC is outdated, and I am using my XSX as my primary gaming platform, it's going to take some getting used to to play such games as Doom with a controller.

Some might think this game is not worth the effort, but I beg to differ. It's a very cool game, and I'll definitely be downloading it!

@IndoorHero I'm of the same impression. I still have Fenyx Rising. Assassins' Creed, and Legion to play. Plus, I'm busy with The Division 2 again, and have been sucked into Fallout 76's world once more. I haven't finished Control, Doom Eternal, Senua's Sacrifice, and RDR2. So, yeah, I have a ton on my plate!

Maybe he just respects the legacy of Nintendo as one of the forefathers of the console gaming industry, hence why he has the console on his shelf!

The main game never kept my attention unfortunately. Maybe if there is a deeper discount on the game in the future, then I'll consider picking it up! For now, Ubisoft's other two games, Valhalla and Immortals, are currently installed on my XSX, and occupying much of my time!

That's the thing. You can get the base game, but many titles that are part of Game Pass do not include the DLC. Many do of course! So if you enjoyed the base game, why would you not invest in the DLC, which is of course, cheaper in part to what you would have paid for the full game if you paid for it!

@Medic_Alert I finished the game on PC, but I may just give it another round as well with the DLC as well.

Is Atmos worth the money without a full blown 5.1 setup?

I hope it's worth a purchase. I've been looking for a headset for my XSX.

I am contemplating giving FO4 another go. It's been several years since I finished the game's main storyline. I can still remember many parts of it!

Let's hope PC and Xbox gamers garner some massive benefit from this. I assume most if not all the games developed by these studios will become available on Game Pass!

@Richnj True, but I've been a PC gamer since '95, so I grew up on FPS titles using M&KB. Even though I have an XSX, and I was an avid PS4 player before, I'm far more skilled with a M&KB, but I can tell you now, if all I had was a controller, and I played a MP game like Warzone, I'd be buried by other players, even those with less skill but who are used to playing such titles with a controller! It's the delicate movement of the stick that screws me over!

I really want the RPGs!

The reality is that certain games are best played with a M&KB. That's the truth! Pit me against a gamer on a controller in an FPS, and I can promise you, 90% of the time I'll drop them before they even see me if I use a M&KB. Certain games though are definitely better played with a controller. I find it easer to play games like AC with a controller than a M&KB, and fighting games can definitely benefit from a controller rather than a M&KB. Racing games are also better played with a controller!

None! Really! None!

@Hurblyburbly I assume you speak of England vs. India.

Nothing grabs me unfortunately, but we are nearing the announcement for March's games, so I am excited to see what MS has in line for next month!

It looks okay I guess. We'll see though when it releases.

I was never into racing games, so for me it's no big issue!

I've never played RPGs like Pillars of Eternity on anything but a PC, so it should be an interesting experience on my XSX.

I may just revisit the game with all these updates!

Might check out Torchlight III, but nothing else grabs me.

@HollowSpectre I got the same vibe. It wasn't a very fluid trailer.

I am curious to see how much better Destiny looks. It was a massive 70GB download for me. Thankfully I have decent fibre connectivity.

I just want a great SP game that I can truly sink my teeth into! So many of the AAA games on Game Pass I payed when they were released, so there is little new in Game Pass for me. I would absolutely love it if Ubisoft+ was announced as joining Game Pass like EA. Their last few games have been worth a consideration!

Nothing jumping out at me, although I am keen for Xbox Upgrade of Destiny 2. I heard via the grapevine a few month's ago that Uplay+ was possible coming to the platform. I was an avid user of this subscription service when I used to use my PC as my primary gaming platform (until I got my XSX, which is not the leader of the pack).

I already have the game installed on my XSX, but I haven't played it in a few days. But I'll give it another bash after the update tomorrow!

I might give it another go, although I finished the main story and the DLC not too long ago. I just wish there was a way to take my saves from PS4 to XSX. If I can avoid replaying from beginning, that would be great!

For Spotify, I've heard that many artists do not reap much benefit from the service, unlike their record labels, and most of their income is generated from live performances, merchandise sales, and brand alignment. I wonder if the developers feel the pinch of this service.

If so it will suck as I just bought the game during the Black Friday sale!

I've started playing Grounded on my XSX. Quite enjoyable.

Got mine yesterday, and when setting up my video options, I am proud to announce my screen does support 4k/120. It was in question with certain reviewers as they could get it to show 4k/120, but the XSX seems to pick up that it can support those settings. Now we just have to see how many games can actually run at 4k/120!

I don't see many games supporting 4k/120 in the future. I'm fortunate to have a 4k/120 capable TV, but I'd be more than happy with 4k/60 to be honest. Games will still look great.

I gave up on COD many seasons ago, so I care little for this!

The big question for me: Horizontal or vertical. It's intended to be vertical, but I would be super scared about it being knocked over by mistake.

I'm pretty stoked about Valhalla and FC6 running at 4K/60. Looking forward to it!

My personal opinion: The Xbox is simply a means to an end, and the days of exclusives are waning! Microsoft seems to believe their future lies in Game Pass, and thus, they are more in the business of publishing, so I am excited to see where this goes.

Chances are it will be Assassin's Creed, but I am hoping to get my fingers on Cyberpunk 2077 the moment it is available for the console!
