@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.
Hopefully it helps when trying buy a game and the game has 50 million bajillion editions. Seen numerous times, one edition looks be complete edition, but there is another edition that has more.
And don't get me started on the Xbox one versus Xbox Series X. I've almost bought Xbox one edition not knowing is a Series X version.
Way too and unnecessarily confusing process just to buy a game.
@XxEvilAshxX Licensed tracks are super important. More is good. Not think can have too many.
But I do absolutely agree fictional tracks are absolutely a blast. Like one mentioned above, the Alpine Track. Believe that is Switzerland flavor. The track is amazing to drive, the snow is insanely beautiful. I played hours and hours on that track alone.
@Kaloudz Yes, timed exclusive content turns me COMPLETELY off once I miss it. No excuse why they can't have it available for people to play that missed it.
Terrible to punish people that have a life. Or at least....ones that not say every 5 mins, "don't forget bang that bell and like and subscribe."
My personal experience with this game is, if not playing in group, forget about trying to enjoy the game, will be destroyed before able do much anything.
Not saying that's bad thing since the game is really meant for multiplayer. Just more FYI for all to know what to expect.
Series S has yet another game with performance issues? I'm shocked. Oh my! Say it isn't so.
I really hope Microsoft next gen does not make same mistake of releasing 2 consoles again. Especially with how Series S continues be mistake that should never been released.
@Old_Man_Harper Thank you for info. Really was wondering. For some reason, my memory, had all the games in that series as either alternative lifestyle or trans, main and supporting characters. Which I'm ok with. But it really felt it was more agenda pushing than being actual game.
To be 100% and completely fair, the above is based on impressions. I never played any their games because I want play a game, not attend a sermon, or convention. So their games could be amazing and I'm missing out and incredibly wrong with my impressions. I'm just one person.
@Kaloudz Good question. I did enjoy special zombies for breaking up the gameplay variety. Absolutely that was nice.
But state of decay, for me at least, the core of that game is be a walking dead simulator. Find people. Incorporate people into your group. Try to keep them alive, etc.
When I watched the walking dead, never had, "Carl! Carl! Watch out for that Vibratior Zombie. She's got fresh D cells leaking battery acid from her....her...you know! Carl! Carl! Carl look out!". 😁
If that makes sense for kind of game I'm going for. If looking for crazy zombie games, other games fill that role, much, much better. Dead Island 2 prefect example how do a special zombie game. They did EVERYTHING right in that game. Especially comparing it to the prior horrible Dead Island games. Hopefully Dead Island 3 just as awesome.
@Fiendish-Beaver Not calling you out at all. You are one of the people I always enjoy reading posts from.
But if have finished any campaign on X difficulty, who cares if an achievement is involved. Knowing did so, should be only reward needed. Unless a person wants to just simply be a bragger.
Full disclosure, I've always hated achievements. Ruins sooooooo many online games. So my opinion means absolutely nothing really.
Ditching 343i for "the new developer" step in right direction.
Lot that 343i staff were terrible stewards for future of Halo. 343i have treated Halo fans like garbage for many years.
The way the moderators treated people in Waypoint Forum was terrible. They let their friends insult people and break the rules with zero repercussions. But if anyone questioned that, all were immediately banned. Snickerdoodle was the ABSOLUTE worst in this behavior.
These are MUST HAVES for me to even consider the new "console".
It MUST be able to plug into TV. No desire play handheld gaming rubbish. Not negotiable.
It still needs feel like I'm playing on an Xbox. Not negotiable.
It needs to function AS IS. None of that needing upgrade it every year. That is the VERY REASON I quit PC gaming and have ZERO desire ever go back to PC. Not negotiable.
@GamingFan4Lyf Absolutely. My guess I'd look at how many years left to retirement. Then take out the sum of max I can contribute to 401k each year. Put that amount in every year so I'm maxed. And another large sum just drop into a CD and just let it roll over every year until retirement. And what little have left do some stuff around the house.
Just finished watching the video. I am sooooooo very happy seeing the game flow, gameplay, mechanics, graphics, destruction, looking as it is this early.

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.

Sad. Very sad.

Re: 10 Discounted Games You Should Buy In The Xbox Spring Sale 2025
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
@Banjo- Agree. Pure silliness.
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: Titanfall 3 Is Suddenly Being Rumoured Again, Said To Be 'Almost Complete'

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.
Re: Nintendo's Doug Bowser Just Channelled One Of The Most Infamous Xbox Quotes Ever

Re: Nightdive Studios Wants To Bring Xbox 360 Games Back From The Dead
Bring. Back. Shadowrun. The
Shooter. Game. PLEASE!
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.

Re: Talking Point: Will Xbox Manage To Create 'Something Legendary' With The Next Halo?
@Fiendish-Beaver Definitely nothing wrong with internal prids. If were doing to brag, I was going poop on you for sure lol

On the NES, think was first ninja gaiden. Finally made it thru difficult level and right at end of it. Console froze. I was beyond angry.
