Re: Poll: How Would You Grade The Summer Game Fest 2024 Showcase?

Halucigens

I just got a PC. I have a series X, S, Pc and a surface 2 pro. Love the gaming experience between them all.
I love all types of games and there was a great variety shown during the event.
I gave it an A easily. I was interested in 90% of the games or knew people who were. The next year is insane. Between AAA and independents,
I feel like small teams have the advantage like horror margins in the film industry. Interesting to see the decline of MMOs and huge player base servers.
Happy half X-mas on Sunday Funday.

Re: Forza Motorsport's Latest Update Reduces Its File Size On Xbox & PC

@Weapon_Wheel If you like semi-realistic racers I would. I got it through game pass and the premium at launch. I had a blast with it for a few months with a wheel/shifter/brake. They've revamped certain aspects that turned people off like car leveling. I love it but I also love racing games.

I'll probably jump back in to focus on the multiplayer to get certain achievements. I just grinded Trackmania last week to get all golds in the new spring campaign. Also want to see the new updates on WRC as well. Great year for racing games.

Re: Sea Of Thieves Sets Sail On PS5 This April With Xbox & PC Crossplay

@ShadowofTwilight I think so. They just added a "Safer Seas" where you can just play with your friends and not against other players. There is a lot of battling though with skelly ships and krakens. I highly recommend SOT. It's on of my favorite games especially with friends. I have a ton of fun solo but it can be a grind. Everything is just cosmetics which I like.

Re: Microsoft Announces Official Date & Time For 'Updates On The Xbox Business'

Halucigens

@Banjo- I appreciate it. I got out of Nintendo Life comments and Push Square too. I hardly touch my switch and had a PlayStation 4. Both those fan bases are so polarized. I feel like Xbox community gets a lot more trolls. But the few users on Pure Xbox that I enjoy are genuine gamers whose opinions I enjoy. But I feel tiresome defending a trillion dollar company when I’m absolutely enjoying my gaming mostly from game pass.

@FarmDog08 @Banjo- I think people just don't like Xbox and/or Microsoft. Either they don't know their history in games or their innovations and contributions to gaming. I also think a lot of it is just gaming and the culture that surrounds it. Easy to hate because it's changing. It's puzzling and I try to stay away from these hot button articles with rumors and speculation.

Re: Rumour: Xbox Might Bring Sea Of Thieves To PlayStation & Nintendo Switch

Halucigens

I can see it working well. You can already find servers with controllers only. They have the new friendly realm. They have guilds now too. Game is a blast and if people want to enjoy it on their console of choice and Xbox can make it happen it all good to me. They already bring games to pc day one. They’ve talked about their interests in game pass on competitors..

Re: Xbox Has Changed Game Pass Quests For 2024, And Fans Aren't Happy

Halucigens

I was paying for game pass through reward points for years. It got me into the ecosystem and not going to end my game pass ultimate subscription any time soon. Rather ditch so many other subscriptions then GP. I liked the game pass weekly with try a game. Most of the time I just did the quest and moved on but once in awhile it would get me into a new game. All good, things change.

Re: Soapbox: After The BG3 Saga, I'm Nervous About How Xbox Handles My Save Data

Halucigens

Yeah it's definitely a bummer especially for such a long game. I'd probably give up if I put over 10 hours and the save vanished. I remember wiping memory cards back in the day because all my siblings had our own cards. If you swapped on some games while they were still inserted they would corrupt the memory card. Also saving and loading where exponentially worse on n64 and ps1 so we would watch tv while things saved and loaded. Incidents occurred which usually meant you moved to another game.

Re: Microsoft Gaming CEO Congratulates Xbox's Game Awards Nominees

Halucigens

Hoping hi fi rush gets art direction. Forza should take racing/sports and possibly accessibility. Great year to be a gamer.

Surprised AoE didn’t get a nomination for bringing two RTS to consoles that work very well. Also ongoing series with halo, sea of thieves, ESO, grounded and many others.

Re: Some Xbox Fans Aren't Happy About 'Intrusive' Call Of Duty: MW3 Ads

Halucigens

@JokerBoy422 and then they scrapped gold? Complain all you want. I just see gamers being one of the biggest whiners of any hobby. It’s just entertainment. It’s supposed to be fun and we all sit here being negative and complaining. You do you but I’ll just hit the b button and exit the ad and play my game. Keep revolutionizing the world! I’ll go back to enjoying EA WRC and having a grin on my face.

Re: Xbox Execs Respond To 'Stunning' Forza Motorsport Fan Clips

Halucigens

During fog, rain and nights the game looks amazing. I also drive with the hood because the driver POV got hard with so much going on. Just started shifting manual last night. Just need to get the tracks down and start moving up the bot difficulty. I'm at full FIA regulations and AI 3. Glad I invested in my wheel setup over 2 years.
