@Ricky-Spanish Series X is actually a legit, next gen console.
Series S is like when go to the Dollar Store and buy their knockoff, imitation products, thinking getting real thing.
Never good idea.
We always have this conversation lol. I enjoy it and not mean beat you up over it. But hopefully are finally seeing Series S is sooooooo much more trouble than what is worth. Series X is only way to go.
@Titntin If Microsoft NEVER released the joke of console known as Series S. No one would be having this conversation. Was terrible idea then and Series S terrible idea now.
@RZ-Atom You also forgot to add, that if frame rate is not 879 frames a second, gamers' eyes melt and Defcon level 11 headaches proceed. And said game is then deemed unplayable and rubbish.
Basically, I'm just saying game pass is overpriced, overrated, and is just going to be more expensive sooner rather than later. Honestly look for Microsoft try make game pass $50+ a year within few years.
Well....people been crying for and saying, going all digital be greatest thing....ever!
I've said for years, people are going to wake up and realize how terrible an idea all digital, really, and truly is. But it will be waaaaaaay too late then.
You're all welcome. Should've listened. But excuse me, while I take a long sip of I Told You So. Awwww, so very refreshing.
@THE_VITTLER In all fairness, there's A LOT of content in that Premium Edition bundle. If person is a completionist - - be playing all that for years and years and years.
@Kaloudz Sadly, looks like Clive Barker's Jericho not backwards compatible from what I'm reading. Could swore replayed it on Xbox One. Guess I'm wrong.
If have an Xbox 360 and can find the disc for sale somewhere I recommend highly.
I hope that is legit. I loved first titanfall multiplayer and 2 had great story, multiplayer not as good as 1 though. 3 might bring it all together. Be awesome!
I totally got share my love for Jericho again. Really surprised no one else commented on Jericho. Doubt I'm only one on here to play it. Shame the game did not get more hype when came out. Really feel could been great trilogy.
@K1LLEGAL $30 was a bump (not much of one, really) I inserted. But do not doubt, even for a min, that by end of year, beginning 2026, $30 will not be farfetched. It will be going up. Again. I bet soon. The game pass business model is incredibly flawed and not sustainable.
Which is why I said majority of games are on level of 8 bit game boy color. Microsoft can't afford supplement many third party developers for legit next gen games to game pass. So majority of catalog are games that look like from 1987. Don't get me wrong. If games like Enter the Gungeon is something that makes person think is awesome game. Go for it.
Not forget, if game pass is soooooo great and wonderful for developers. Why isn't GTA 6 coming to game pass day one?
The online thing was better with Xbox Live. I could pick up a deal and discount 12 month card for $60. Game pass has yet to offer anything like 12 month card discount for like even $180.
I have Gamefly, $25 a month for two games out at a time. I can be playing GTA 6 pretty much day one with that (basically same price as Ultimate), keep it for a discount, if choose to. Also can rent 4k movies, keep if want. Gamefly, every quarter, sends $5 coupon can use on games/movies as well. Much better experience and value in my eyes.
@Millionski I've said for years game pass is an overpriced, over hyped joke.
Unless....enjoy 8 bit quality games on level of game boy color. Vast majority of game pass catalog is just that. Jumping over lava pits and side scrolling.
I can bring out my NES from 1987 and play same games. Won't cost me $30 a month, either.

Re: Gearbox Announces New, Earlier Release Date For Borderlands 4 On Xbox
@Ricky-Spanish Presequel did feel cool while playing due to that gravity feature.
But really didn't feel like borderlands game much at all. Granted a different developer did make the game. So is understable.
Re: Gearbox Announces New, Earlier Release Date For Borderlands 4 On Xbox
@Cakefish It's not a Bugthesda game. It might be ok and playable enough on launch. Lol
Re: Gearbox Announces New, Earlier Release Date For Borderlands 4 On Xbox
Sounds like someone is doing their best to hopefully avoid GTA 6. Smart move.
Re: Far Cry 4 Getting Native 60FPS Patch On Xbox Series X|S & Game Pass
@ButterySmooth30FPS Noticed that too.
Maybe that is why Microsoft have quietly abandoned the FPS Boost feature. Can't even remember last time saw game added with that feature.

Re: Digital Foundry Impressed With Oblivion Remastered, But Xbox Series S 'Takes A Hit'
@Titntin I know, I know.
Just wish people would realize Series S is terrible idea. Fact basically every week there is yet another game that struggles on it.
Series X is honestly only way to go.

Re: Digital Foundry Impressed With Oblivion Remastered, But Xbox Series S 'Takes A Hit'
Wait? Another article that shows Series S is bad idea? Say it isn't so?
For years repeatedly said Xbox Series S is and always a bad idea. What seems on weekly basis of issues trying to run games.
Hopefully Microsoft have seen how terrible an idea it is and will not repeat this horrendous decision with next gen of having two consoles.

Re: Indiana Jones 'Selling Faster' On PS5 Than Xbox & Steam, Says Analysis
@Kaloudz I would not mind it a much if Playstation were putting titles on Xbox in turn as well.
I'd really like play Spider-man, horizon Dawn, etc.
Re: Indiana Jones 'Selling Faster' On PS5 Than Xbox & Steam, Says Analysis
In my opinion, just makes Microsoft that much faster in becoming the next Sega.
Not fond of that as I really, really, really, like the Xbox controller.

Bugthesda ABSOLUTELY need to ditch their old, out dated, glitchy, bug ridden engine.

Re: Oblivion Remastered Comparison Shows Difference Between Xbox Series X And Series S
I'm surprised the Series S can play it. Series S struggles with so many games.
Microsoft's biggest mistake this gen, the Series S.

Robocop was an absolute blast and joy playing. Really hope they make robocop sequel to it soon.
Re: Atomfall's Xbox Game Pass Launch Has Done 'Really, Really Well' For Microsoft
@Residentsteven Actually if game pass is so wonderful with isn't GTA 6 going to be on it day one?
Game pass is just overpriced, overrated, Microsoft grift. It's sad people 'buy" into the hype.
Re: Multiple 'Just For You' Deals Quietly Added To Xbox Spring Sale
Anyone else annoyed by the "Just For You" are ALWAYS on games you've already purchased?
Honestly, insulting try sell me something at discount when already own it. Not even have courtesy or knowledge to know bought it. C'mon man.
Re: Xbox Adds Multiple Highly-Requested Features In April 2025 Update
Other than the, free up space feature, rest of updates do absolutely nothing for me.
People that want them, glad they got something wanted.
Re: Indiana Jones And The Great Circle Comparison Showcases Xbox Series X Vs. PS5 Pro
My quick, first impression.
Xbox with that color, looks like a game. PS5 with that color, looks more like real life.
Depends on what like in game. Other that, not even notice.
Of course, the whole thing can just be avoided by keeping console exclusives. You know. Exclusive.
Re: Xbox Seemingly Blocks Upcoming Release Due To 'Provocative' Content

Any game I play where have look at the back of character running around, I'm picking female character, every time, every day. Twice on Sunday.

Re: Phil Spencer Discusses Why Xbox Game Pass Isn't For Everyone These Days
"Healthy option"?
Yea. If like playing games on quality level of Game Boy Color, it's pretty great.
Sorry. But long, long, long, time ago I gave up playing side scrolling, jumping over lava pits back in 1996.

Re: Indiana Jones PS5 Fans Not Happy With Xbox's Physical Media Habits
@BAMozzy Yes. Sure is delivery system. I deliver the CD, DVD, Blu-ray disc, right into my player. Press play and enjoy.
I'll NEVER have an issue with it being removed from a server, site being closed, pay an ever increasingly expensive monthly subscription, etc.
Nope.
I have the disc and that can't be taken away from me. Mine. End of story.

Re: Xbox Spring Sale 2025 'Sneak Preview' Now Live, 400+ Games Discounted
@Kaloudz Talking about Fear or Jericho?
I totally got share my love for Jericho again. Really surprised no one else commented on Jericho. Doubt I'm only one on here to play it. Shame the game did not get more hype when came out. Really feel could been great trilogy.
Re: Xbox Spring Sale 2025 'Sneak Preview' Now Live, 400+ Games Discounted
@Kaloudz I'm sure Fear will feel dated today.
But back the day it was fun, if like little bit of horror theme with your shooters.
Guess decent kind of comparison would Clive Barker's Jericho have if you played it. Really wish would make a sequel. Was very enjoyable.

Bring. Back. Shadowrun. The

Without doubt best first person shooter I ever played. Was so balanced. So much fun. Way ahead of its time.
If make a sequel just as good for Series X. I'd pre-order immediately.
