Was looking forward to finally playing this on Xbox

Then I saw

>Xbox Play Anywhere support

Guess I'll play thst version on my PC instead lol. I love these going back and making older games PlayAnywhwrw thata happened recently with Witcher, Cyberpunk, and now this.

>Valid only with purchase of select Windows devices from participating U.S. retailers from 11/2/26 through 12/31/26

Lol. I'll stick with building them myself over purchasing a ridiculously priced prebuilt.

On the plus side this means I don't have to use the awful PC app.

@AI-Generation Agreed. Had a 20 year badge on my account. Then Microsoft has done everything in their power to make us stop using our two Series Xs.

Canceled Live/Gamepass. Moved on to PC. Now because if their practices they get less money from me. Even if I buy a Microsoft game 30% of it goes to Valve.

Ooooh. I'm gonna have to look into these later.

That sounds like corpo talk for "taking advantage" of a subordinate.

Yessss. I had seen a coupling ago that some markers had showed up indicating Cyberpunk was going play anywhere. Glad it turned out to be true! Gonna replay on PC now with everything cranked sky high.

I feel like they told their AI to look a GoG and copy that layout.

I was actually surprised to see how many of my games weren't actually eligible for this.

I have their full Halo kit. A bit loud, but that's what you get with mechanical keys. Love it otherwise though.

It has been a lot of fun on PC. And I don't normally go for survival type games.

Disc drive.

Even my PC has one.

Also a gyro in the controller to finally get with the times.

@Ken_Kaniff They genuinely do good coverage here. Been my main for Xbox for some time because of that and how friendly staff is.

Agreed on the sister site comment.

Summary posts like these are some of my favorite and the formatting here is always easy to read. Keep on keeping on.

When I was subscribed to ultimate, way more than 15 hours a month. That's for sure.

Mondo lamer. I have this very copy of BF4. Bought it launch night with my One.

Still no update to even use this function either.

Thankfully GoG and Steam are still up so the short time I had this morning I could still play something.

Remmeber when one of the benefits for paying for Xbox Live was the stable up time?While PSN was free and often times had issues.

Pepperidge Farm Remembers.

I wonder if this is why Xbox for PC is currently down.

Keeps saying it cannot sign you in when launching a game, despite being signed in.

Finally had time to play something and Xbox dropped the ball.

Thankfully GoG and Steam are both working fine.

Nah. Too many other games to play.

@MTR54 Good question. Same here.

Been subscribed to Xbox Live since it dropped.

Was an Xbox Ambassasdor from launch to program closure.

156K+ gamerscore.

Heck, I was even part of the 360 Kinect test team.

If any of those played a part, Im sure my canceling of gamepass a little bit ago undid it lol.

No surprise here. The pricing itself following the trend of consoles being more expensive now than at launch.

Sounds like the next Xbox could be upgradable.

Why does this "apology" read like AI? And it isn't the em dash.

I think this is the first time I've seen IKEA products I dislike.

They're giving off a level of tackiness you dont typically see. While simultaneously missing key features like arm rests....

Absolutely bonkers pricing.

Wonder how this functions with a physical copy.

Over The Top: WWI

Helldivers 2

Prince of Persia Sands of Time with the GoG patch.

ARMA Reforger

Stalker 2

Oblivion Remake

Witcher 3

Battletech

@8th_Observer Take-Two themselves break laws. Particularly egregious ones, union busting among them.

Very strange highground to take that it is okay for multimillion dollar company to break laws. But when they get their comeuppance on the same grounds, it is bad?

You'll forgive me for finding the irony absolutely hilarious.

Take Two can get bent honestly with all the underhanded things they've done. Nevermind straight up illegal things like union busting.

Couldn't happen to a better company.

@Markatron84 Right?

Every time I start a game first thing I do is disable film grain, chromatic abberation, DOF, motion blur, and vertical sync.

Bought it right before it was delayed. Hopefully can find some time this weekend to hop on!

Ooooh. First I'm hearing of this one. Gotta check it out!

@HelloCraigo Exactly. Just verified my PC is still set to metered connection so that should prevent any updates hopefully.

Not about to lose my playtime when the game runs flawless for me as is.

Ugh. Fantastic game. Had zero issues. Gotta fast track my playthrough now I guess.

They're gonna release an update that breaks my 100+ mods.

Gonna need the rumored gyro to be in it or it will be a pass.

This isn't 1999 anymore.

Why is the Series S running this at 1440? Come on now, it is a 360 game.

The part where Asha and ilk jut ignored it is honestly telling.

Meanwhile Pearl Abyss properly supports employees.

@VisitingComet1 Not on Nexus. Too big IIRC. It is called Tale of Two Wastelands.

@VisitingComet1 Because New Vegas was essentially a mod pack for Fallout 3 made by professional developers rather than an entirely new game.

So similar in fact you have user mods that combine the two games into one where you actually play as the same person across both games with new plot and dialog for why.

Check out OpenMorrowind. If you have a VR headset, OpenMorrowind VR.

Goofy pricing as expected.

So dumb.

They're just really just renaming 100% and it is second hand embarrassing lol.

We already had diamond achievements for.the rear ones. Less than 10% of players achieving them, iirc.

@Odium I don't mean this in any negative way, but I've had the opposite experience.

I'm playing on Legendary and feel like it has never been easier. At first I just chalked it up to having played the campaign a million times in the past.

Then it stated clicking the small things.

Marines are much more accurate with more health. I kept the same pair alive the entire level of Silent Cartographer, for example. They're normall.all dead before the beach is cleared on other releases.

Plasma weapons have more punch and make quicker work of things like hunters.

Swords? Swords. Being able to not only use them but to also sword clash means you never lose a 1v1 sword fight unless you mess up.

The new assault rifle absolutely pulverizes. It fees like they buffed damage on it proportional to the number of rounds the magazines were reduced by. Which in turn gives it much higher DPS. And the SMG is a joy to shred with.

I agree on the hints.

Playing on Legendary and was just looking around enjoying the scenery while constantly getting pinged on where to go though. Needs an option to disable or atheist disable it on heroic and higher.

Had one CTD when interacting with the Silent Cartgrapher toward then end of the same level. Crashed and didn't get to see the cinematic.

Overall I've been having a blast though.

@M20B25 best of luck. I bought GTAV exactly once. Now that I think of it, that applies to every GTA.

Not getting GTAVI until the PC release. And even then it'll be after a discount.

@Sol4ris I don't. The rating system thst has changed over the decades does. Where a 50 would originally mean it is average, literally in the middle of amazing and awful. Instead now it more follows the American schooling system where anything less than a 90 is looked down upon and 70s might as well not have ever been released. If you notice, this shift has occurred in every type of media including books, movies, and music.

Even ignoring the system, Avowed and Outer Worlds 2's medicoricty shows in theirnpoor sales acorss every platform they were released. Meanwhile those cream of the crop ones are selling like hotcakes with active engagement.

Baldur's Gate 3 currently has 45,000 online.
Cyberpunk 2077, a 6 year old has 40,000 people online on Steam at this very moment alone. more than a lot for multi-player games, and more than many games ever see in sales. Good RPS woth replayability keeps numbers and sales.

This is of course ignoring more recent, less replayable, hits like Expedition 33 that somehow still command daily player counts of 5500+, while Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2 sits at a paltry 350....

Now if only they would finally add ray tracing.

So much for the "See you in the sequel" bit.

I'm throughly bummed. Really enjoyed Campaign Evolved.

@kuu_nousee If the system should not be used then it should not be present.

The review system is there so that average Joe's can get a feel. No for people like you and I.

Having the flagship of your platform with an poor review score, on the platform itself, is not a good color for the average person. Let alone potential buyers that may be interested in the system. Add that to the best performing console to play Halo being a Playstation, none of it really adds appeal to buy an Xbox or Halo.

@Sol4ris
This isn't any different than it has always been. Just more obvious now. The games you list didn't do good on any platform.

Back in the day for every Witcher 2 you had 4 or 5 Two Worlds that didn't sell well.

For every Morrowind you had you had 2 Advent Risings.

For every Mass Effect you had 3 Alpha Protcols.

Good RPS sell well. Mediocre ones likes those you listed generally do not. They're okay games but not something you ever drop full price on.

More something you pick up on a whim from the bargain bin when you're in your local game store. Though they lose that engagement from the whole digital transition.

The remake is lovely.

But they're honestly goofy if they thought a remake of 25 year old game, once already remade, was going to attract much more than established fans of the series.

It doesnt help all the negativity around it either. On the Xbox store it was rated 2.2/5 last I checked. How in the world does it get rated thet low on Xbox?

I'm going to forever appreciate having built my PC when I did.

What was once a £70/$90 part, half my RAM specifically, now costs £445/$600.

Let that sink in, only half the RAM in my PC now costs more than a Series S.

No signs of it turning around either.

Was actually looking st buying it.

Glad I saw these.comments though. Did not know ow they had objectively made parts worse like AI.

Will keep skipping it I guess.
