Re: Poll: How Would You Grade 2025's Xbox Developer Direct?

GuyinPA75

I'm really wondering if that mercenary game was canceled? Not heard anything about it for years now. Think called Iron Bolt or something? Been so long even forget the name.

Announced at E3 years ago. Think set in 1940s? Loot gold? Heck can't even remember. Just another example of why The 6 Month Rule is absolutely the ONLY way to go.

Re: EA Says Two Of Its Major AAA Titles 'Underperformed' In 2024

GuyinPA75

Wonder if EA is factoring in that, to my knowledge, all their games eventually go to EA online service. So why buy the game?

Again, I'll stress, these online subscription services hurt the developers bottom line. It is going to lead in downfall of gaming, or at very least, noticeable decline in overall quality of games.

Re: Report: Majority Of Devs Expecting To Release New Games In 2025, Driving Industry Growth

@somnambulance That's the very reason I stopped watching developer shows and Xbox showcases. Absolutely am tired of seeing a game trailer that grabs my complete interest only have end with, coming 2073.

Ummm, no thanks.

That far out sooooo much can happen. Game gets canceled, delayed until 2278, set into infinite delay world. And yes, we have seen ALL the above often now.

Developers REALLY need to start following the 6 Month Rule. Doing that just better for everyone involved.

Re: Xbox Reminds Us Engagement Is At 'All-Time High' Going Into 2025

Here is the thing I feel Microsoft not understand (other than how to NOT successfully market their products or have a well thought out PLAN for their products) is why would a third party developer even want develop for Microsoft since their sales going stink on Xbox.

No, I'm wrong. That's crazy talk! Right?!?

Well, not so fast. I'll explain.

Game pass (you know that "best deal in gaming" rubbish propaganda that's thrown around so much) is hindering Xbox. Games lose, what did the report say, 80% of their sales? That's huge.

But so what! Game doesn't have to be on game pass, so take that to your theory! Again...not so fast. Not read a statistic, but I'd bet a lot of people are, meh, I'll wait for it to hit game pass since I'm being forced into paying $23+ a month for it as it is. So developers losing sales even on that front.

And, of course, the big elephant in the room is, why should a person even buy a game on Xbox at this point since Microsoft is giving every hint, sign, message, that next gen very well may be their exit and who knows what's going to happen. Our libraries be around? Will online servers be cut immediately? Will my games even play then? But, hey, that's the wondrous beauty of an all digital world, right? It's the greatest thing ever to just buy a license to a product...instead of owning it.

But that's conversation for another time.

Re: Talking Point: What Is Xbox Going To Do With Halo In 2025?

GuyinPA75

Getting rid of lot dead weight within 343i (Halo Studios or whatever calling it this week) be great first step. Using those freed up salaries into next halo game and future halo titles be second great step.

It is obvious 343i needs an extremely good trim, starting from top down.

Re: Rumour: Xbox Series S Could Have Big Impact On The Nintendo Switch 2

GuyinPA75

@Millionski Nice to see someone that understands.

@electrolite77 @Sol4ris Wait? My statement of Series S being less powerful than Nintendo Switch is false? The Switch is not more powerful? Interesting. Surprised me.

But I do know that I'm correct in saying Series S has lot more issues running games than Nintendo Switch does.

Actually...more think on it. Series S is the only console this generation that has so many issues trying to play games from this generation. Really makes me want to go out and buy one. Heck maybe 2? That way when try play game that's not working properly, I can try it on the other Series S to make sure it's the console and not the game.

Oh, who am I kidding. It's always going to be the console.

Re: Soapbox: Xbox Should Start Embracing Its Past A Whole Lot More

"we're all slowly getting used to Microsoft's new vision for the brand"

Nope. Not even on a good day. Being FORCED into Microsoft's new vision for the brand is more accurate.

Incredibly sad what Microsoft (well, honestly it's more nadella) are doing to Xbox. Infuriating and sad what Xbox is becoming. A console that essentially changed the industry is becoming a joke in the industry now.

Re: 'Unannounced' Bethesda Game Listed For Xbox & Other Major Platforms

GuyinPA75

I'd love for fallout 1 remake (not remaster) since never played that one. Fallout 2 also.

Oblivion remake be awesome too. Had waaaaaaay too many game breaking and game progression bugs that stopped me from finishing it. Well? What am I thinking. It's a bugthesda game. That's like saying, did you hear the sun is actually quite hot.

Re: 15 Of The Biggest Open-World Games Coming To Xbox In 2025

My expectations on Fable are since British developer they will nail the cheeky humor (and hopefully the charm) of past Fable games but will fail at the gameplay portion. Hope I'm wrong.

Kingdom Come 2 have almost zero interest since first game people hated for all the loooooooooong periods between save points and even save game issues.

Avowed I'm excited for. Really think will be enjoyable but quite short for today's open world fantasy game standards.

Borderlands 4 I'm pumped for and most likely end up pre-ordering ONLY just to make sure I buy yet another loot crate edition. Really enjoyed all Borderlands games except Pre Sequel. To this day still not finished it.
