Excited to try out Chorus and Ninja Gaiden. Never really liked For Honor. I’ve heard great things about origins but I’m burnt out on AC gameplay formula.
Just go look at the reviews of indie games that come out on game pass. I can’t believe people get so upset over a “free” game that they don’t like. I try and try everything even if it’s just for ten minutes because I’ve experienced great things in products that I never thought appealed to me directly.
I understand the criticism but I really enjoy these events. If I’m off work or just want to lazy around and see some games coming out from AAA to indie. Kind of sad to see it go this way. Hardly any magazines, conventions stopping. I rather everything get some attention then just the ones that can afford it. And even some of them don’t either. Most industries have events and conventions to get everyone in that career together. Not all marketing can be effectively shown just through social media and interest websites.
Looks pretty good. Not as good as game pass to me personally. I love day one first party and a ton of day one indie games. This is great for the new generation of gamers. I would of saved a ton of money in my youth if these subscription services existed 15 years ago. Knowing you can grab a console with a huge back catalog of new and old games is exciting.
Pretty good list of games. Wish it had some newer games. Also need to see how long Sony keeps their first party games for sale and when they will get put into the premium plus.
I’d like a gears collection. I was going to start one soon with some buddies but if the rumor is true I can wait. Especially if a gears 6 isn’t announced it’d be nice revisiting the campaigns and multiplayer.
I’m glad I don’t get this upset over delayed games. Being negative and constantly criticizing things that don’t really affect your livelihood isn’t good for you. Some of our thoughts deserve to just be our thought. Constantly sharing and getting positive reinforcement for your negative attitude isn’t helping anyone involved. I have an itch to play starfield but it can wait.
I switched to Xbox because the controller is so great. The pro switch is great too. I ran through so many ps4 controllers. Grips wore out, battery life zapped, constantly pressing the middle button.
A really great game. I played it for the cinematography and story and surprised I made it to the end in three sittings. Perfect length. Pacing could of been a bit better.
This developer adds his perspective on his dealing with indie games and game pass and people jump on him. I wish these people that act super tough and super intelligent online got a dose of their own actions. It’s just games.
No issue here. Played yesterday and this morning and afternoon. Been using the espn app after that. Played with friends locating across the US. No issue for us.
I just beat turnip boy commits tax evasion. Really fun game. Lots of laughs lots of stupidity lots of vibes. Perfect game pass game. I also enjoy the show.
I might wait so I can watch it in the 4K video but I’ll probably watch it live and rewatch it a few days later. I’m glad they are keeping the E3 spirit alive.
Gears 6 releasing this November. A huge halo drop. Perfect dark footage. Everwild footage. Hellblade September starfield November. Probably Forza motor sports. Reveal on double fines next game. What to expect from the activision. I hope they do a developers conference again. I love hearing these developers talk about their work.
Would love a gears collection like everyone else. It’s what got me in Xbox when I was a teenager. So many nights playing the originals. I think all the games have fps boost now so I’ll be replaying them sooner then later.
This already exists in single player and online games. This just sounds like Microsoft wants to control the marketing. Ads don’t bother me just keep it moving.
It really needs to drop on ea play and game pass. Player count is so low. Less then 750 in portal game modes. Need more maps and content. Can’t believe the season isn’t dropping till this summer.
I loved this game. Ran into a few issues but I love fishing games and town sims and this hit the balance right. Game pass covers most gaming genres and that’s why I have it.
I’ve been having a lot of fun with it. My partner is huge into table top games and the humor makes her laugh uncontrollably. I really like the setting and magic.
I’d cancel Hulu before I cancel game pass. I get way more value out of game pass then any other subscription service. I sure am getting tired of all the gaming rumors though. There surely has to be real news out there or games to play and review or features to write. So many indies that come out weekly. So many game pass games to review.
Does the Sony model have pc support? I think ps now is on pc. That’s where I think Xbox wins. Day one also and cloud streaming with touch controls: this news isn’t going to bring me back into the Sony ecosystem. But it’s great for people just getting into gaming. That’s where both services are fantastic. If I was young and or a parent both services are fantastic
My favorite is the SSD hard drives with quick loading. Crazy just jumping between games and with quick resume it can be amazing. I always figured with bigger games that loading would be an issue like red dead redemption. Some games don’t work well with quick resume but it’s still a great feature.
Not interested. Microsoft got me into their ecosystem with game pass and It would be hard to peel me away. I had the Wii, Wii, 3ds and the switch and I don’t touch them anymore. I got the PS4 instead of the One because I liked PlayStation plus because I was low income for years. Their new exclusives never clicked for me and I thought the system and ui and controllers were shoddy. Testing out the waters with game pass on my pc and was amazed with the games I missed. Waited 10 hours to get an X and took days off of work to dive in and haven’t come up yet.
@Jark I bought an 80 dollar thrustmaster flight stick. I think it all depends on how you want to play it. If you just want to go sight seeing every once in awhile the controller works fine. The autopilot when you want to change camera angles and such is pretty good. But if you want to full sim and do flight paths then I’d get a stick. The game is gorgeous and great to have friends and family over and show them places they used to live or have visited.
Flight simulator is a great example at how I see them implementing cloud data. Game runs great on console and it’s already a 100 gigabyte download and streams close to 2 terabytes of data to simulate the weather and effects. I rather have real games on my mobile device then mobile gaming as we know it because they get stale fast.

Re: The Nintendo Switch Is Basically Getting An Xbox Pro Controller
@CunningPig exactly. Much rather change batteries or charge a battery pack then being tethered to a 3 foot wire for my “wireless” controller.

Re: PlayStation's Game Pass Competitor Could Be Announced Next Week
Not interested. Microsoft got me into their ecosystem with game pass and It would be hard to peel me away. I had the Wii, Wii, 3ds and the switch and I don’t touch them anymore. I got the PS4 instead of the One because I liked PlayStation plus because I was low income for years.

Re: Xbox Announces New Cloud Gaming Initiative
@Jark I bought an 80 dollar thrustmaster flight stick. I think it all depends on how you want to play it. If you just want to go sight seeing every once in awhile the controller works fine.

The game is gorgeous and great to have friends and family over and show them places they used to live or have visited.
Re: Xbox Announces New Cloud Gaming Initiative
