So maybe new and future EA games will not be overpriced trash?

Well, wishful thinking.

@Ricky-Spanish Is it any good? Watched some clips. Looks like just endless waves of horde mode.

I can play warframe for that. And it's free.

Honestly I did not buy Borderlands 4.

Pitchford with his "real fans" comment turned me off completely. Maybe he had slip and was referring to Only Fans and newer USB drive?

Regardless, if I do purchase or even play borderlands 4. It will be years down the road and after a very, very, steep discount.

@Ricky-Spanish lol. Bet did not even have read author of post, after reading the post. You totally knew it was me.

@JON22 Doesn't everything crash and run suboptimal on Series S?

"Real" developers will find way fix it.

Any employer, please make note of the name, Darrell Gallagher, and tread carefully in any possibility of hire. Strong chance the individual is incapable of producing on any kind of timescale. Even after years, no stable or satisfactory, product may be shown.

@Ricky-Spanish It will forever rage on lol

Definitely appreciate your view on Series S for game pass. But I find game pass poor value and fact they have no discount for buying 12 months like Xbox Live did severely bothers me to no end. Plus I truly believe Series X been so much better if Series S never existed. Especially quality of the games this gen.

At least these aren't the usual indie 8 bit, jump over lava pit, game boy color level games that makes up 95% game pass games.

That's at least a good thing.

@Ricky-Spanish Meh. After all the documentsed insane amount of issues Series S brings. It finally gets a feel good article.

I'm still saying Series S huge mistake and Series X games been much better without Series S ever being released.

Hopefully next gen Microsoft have common sense not release two consoles.

Wait? The Series S is yet again another inferior experience?

Say it isn't so?

I'm not a true fan since I couldn't find the money to buy Borderlands 4.

Yep. Pitchford absolutely and completely turned me off and lost all interest in the game.

And I even bought loot box editions day one for borderlands 2 and 3. But Pitchford just crossed a line for me.

Never played a dragon age game. Really want to. So much anymore to play, watch, read, plus life too.

Honestly Dead Island 2 so much better than original. Difference is absolutely night and day.

I utterly despise weapons that break in game. Spend more time looks for parts and repairing than actually playing the game.

Dead Island 2 found the prefect balance to that system. Easily one best and most enjoyable zombie games I've played in years.

Still think best thing I ever saw on all this cloud rubbish was on Twitter.

Someone posted pic of a coffin, said, "This is an Xbox".

Under nadella's lack of leadership, that's very accurate meme.

"The compilation also features all four Project Gotham Racing titles from Xbox Game Studios - all of which include official vehicle and music licenses that will have expired in this day and age."

But if own the disc can still play game, right?

Another example of why physical media is best way to go.

Please put Shadowrun on game pass. Best and most balanced first person shooter ever made.

@ozkrmz First point agree 110 %.

Second point disagree 220%. Love having physical media drive for games and movies. Without one, would not buy Xbox.

Already sold out.

Think read that Dune game has free weekend. Not played it yet. Wonder if any good?

But if Indie Pass is so awesome and great deal for developer. Why didn't it launch there?

Just another example of Indie Pass cannibalising game sales.

Its not good for long term health of developers or business.

If Indie Pass such a wonderful thing for gaming and developers, then why doesn't every game release on Indie Pass? It doesn't. Because it isn't.

@DaPrince Yep. No joke. I call it Indie Pass. Because that's all it is.

No joke. I have full home theater setup with LG G4 OLED 77 inch TV, Atmos surround sound, Xbox Series X, etc. I did not pay all that money to play 8 bit level quality, game boy color games, jumping over lava pits. If wanted that, I'd go game stop and buy a game boy color.

Of course, people will say, then don't subscribe to Indie Pass then. Well Xbox really not giving us choice and forcing it down our throats. Want play multiplayer? Got have Indie Pass. Honestly that is only thing keeping the flawed and failing business model of Indie Pass around. It's simply not worth the $10-$20 a month. Unless really like indie games. Which...again...at that price go to game stop and buy several games boy color games every month to keep. Forever.

Xbox Live so superior to Indie Pass. I could pick up 12 months Xbox Live on sale for $40. Where is Indie Pass 12 month discount? There isn't one. And that's not only terrible but disgraceful as well. We can all thank nadella for this. Just another reason wish he'd get forced out Microsoft. The guy is straight garbage destroying Microsoft.

Keep saying, and keep believing, Indie Pass is going to be $30-$40 month in few years if it going to survive. And that's about $20-$30 too much. Give me 12 months at $80. That's fair enough.

What? Yet, another article that continually shows Series S is/was a mistake?

Well, I'm surprised. Not.

Series S biggest mistake Xbox ever did. Even bigger mistake than kinect.

@Ricky-Spanish Agree. Sad they release that as options in games. Especially when consoles not able run it efficiently or effectively.

Have Series X, LG G4. Set Diablo 4 to Performance Mode or what ever does the ray tracing, etc. The game was insanely choppy. Turned it off immediately.

@Ricky-Spanish But....

It does run better on Series X. Just saying. Lol

Look! Yet, another article that states obvious of Xbox Series S, being a complete disaster that should never been released.

It's like every week there an article stating this over, and over, and over, and over, and over....

Biggest mistake of this gen, the Series S.

Nothing that interests me at all.

So basically it's Spelljammer from Dungeons and Dragons. Ok.

If someone made a quality, affordable, wireless, Xbox style controller for Playstation. I would immediately buy a PS5.

@Fiendish-Beaver But....Nadella will see Steam as being in the cloud and think makes people buy a subscription that is game pass.

All nadella cares about is the cloud, overpriced and unnecessary subscription services, and lately, is on AI kick.

Nadella is terrible and destroying Microsoft, more and more, every day.

Nadella needs to go.

An article on the Series S, yet again, showing how inferior of a console it is. And, yet again, showing how terrible of an idea it truly was.

Embarrassing how almost weekly there are articles showcasing how this console should never seen the light of day.

@FraserG Sadly it's little bit of both. Microsoft with their cancelation streak here recently, I'm concerned for pretty much any game.

Love fable franchise and really want play it. But also really wanted play Contraband, perfect Dark, scalebound, that Bethesda space MMO, etc. But never will. Really makes me sad.

Would not blink an eye or be surprised if announcement came out fable was canceled.

@Coletrain All nadella cares about is turning everything into an extremely unnecessary, incredibly overpriced subscription service. Also, the cloud. And now he's on this kick of getting into AI super heavy.

Truly believe if Microsoft did not get those big money government contracts over the last 5+ years, Microsoft be in very concerning position as a company.

If think all the layoffs last few years at Microsoft was bad. Multiply that by infinity without those contracts.

I'm curious?

Vegas have odds on announcement of Fable being canceled during gamescom?

@Ricky-Spanish Battlefield 4 for me.

Even though I played tons Battlefield 6 past two weekends - so much that completed all the challenges. Battlefield 4 is still my favorite one for multiplayer. I may change my mind after play full Battlefield 6 at launch though.

@WildConcept6 "Really, it baffles me how gamers would defend AAA publishers cutting corners just to attack the series S."

What lot people not really think about is developers always have cater to the lowest common denominator. This gen it was the Series S. It held back this gen and definitely the Xbox Series X. Just look at the almost weekly articles speaking to Series S having issues trying to run games.

Glad you enjoy Series S. But all of Xbox be in better place if it never existed.

@Fiendish-Beaver Definitely agree with you. But the issue not so much Microsoft as it is nadella. The guy needs to go. Like yesterday. Like decade ago.

@Titntin If not fan of Microsoft for that long, you must really despise what Microsoft become under the (lack of) leadership of nadella.

Nadella is destroying Microsoft. He also ruined fantastic products by not allowing them to grow. There was some truly amazing and superior products nadella stopped. Easiest example being Zune. Much better product than iPod.

@Feffster Series S was disaster of decision for this generation. Under powered, constant news articles almost on weekly basis highlighting its issues with trying have game run properly, pathetic hard drive space, and most important holding back the Series X.

Xbox this gen been so much better without it. Honestly I think be even better quality level of games if Series S never existed. Covid did not help this gen either.

Lmao I've said for years game pass is terrible idea and incredibly flawed business model.

If game pass is going to exist, look for it to be $40 - $50 a month within next two to the years.

If game pass is such a great, wonderful thing, why isn't GTA and Battlefield launching Day One on game pass?

@BacklogBrad That Operation Locker on Battlefield 4 very close to Metro I thought. Both maps absolute fun.

I loved bad company 2. But Battlefield 4 best multiplayer experience and most fun I EVER had playing Battlefield online.

@BAMozzy Somebody skimmed over or simply did not read the beta NDA.

Lol

Another example of Series S being a mistake and terrible anchor for Series X.

Very disappointing. Really looked forward to this game. But not surprised since not heard or seen anything from the game.

Yet, ANOTHER example of developer or publisher not following the simple and failsafe, Six Month Rule.

No idea why they not follow that rule. It only makes best experience possible for gamers and developers.

@Ricky-Spanish I'm sure they told Todd. And I'm sure Todd simply said, "It just works." He's notorious for that.

Todd is absolutely a detriment to bugthesda games at this point. Stubborn. Narrow minded. Refuses to change or update game engine.

I'm going to be on later today when get home. Hope servers not crash by time I'm on.

Really looking forward trying. Hope it is truly more like Battlefield 3 and 4. Last three Battlefield games were pure garbage online multiplayer.

Hope this doesn't hurt forza motorsport. I much, much, much, prefer motorsport over horizon.
