It has been.....4 years since Requiem already?

I have that keyboard.

TMR sticks, tracks padss, and gyro.

What's there to debate? The steam controller is taking over as my daily driver.

I feel people are gonna be disappointed by the lack of urban sprawl.

Some people are won over too easy.

20 years of consecutive Xbox subscription and two launch Xbox Series Xs.

Going to take a lot more work to get me to even entertain the idea of buying or subscribing to something on Xbox again.

Wild how it took an entire generation for Sony and Microsoft to both realize "Maybe exclusives are a good thing after all"

Meanwhile Nintendo was content to never even chance it.

CoD never made sense on gamepass past it being a first party game.

People that want CoD will buy it. So they just gave the game away to those people hoping some gamepass only peeps would play it and get wrapped up in micro transactions.

Safe to say it did not go their way.

Hopefully better than the last one.

Got it for my wife and she is gentle as can be with things.

Stick drift 3 days out of warranty.

Anything under launch MSRP

@duncanwarrior99 Because people aren't paying.

I canceled GPU after having 20 years of uninterrupted subscription, to Xbox Live because of this mess. Even has the badge in my profile to prove it.

Very nice to see 120fps supoort.

Hopefully it supports VR on PC, otherwise probably gonna be another pass.

First one was excellent.

I hope this one supports VR as well

Xbox was the only day one system I ever bought.

360,

One,

One X,

2 Series X, all day one.

Not a chance of me doing that again.

Absolutely loved Quantum Break and even hold it above later Remedy titles.

At this point the only point to gamepass is if you want paid for demos or if you quite literally have no life and are burning through entire games in a couple days.

Otherwise you're getting ripped off paying a sub for a bunch of things you're never gonna play while getting gaslight by people being told it is a good value.

If you know what you like, you can buy the game you want on sale for $15 etc, play it for a few months, and still be ahead.

@Markatron84 Agreed. I work with various play testing teams where I'm paid, under contract, and fill forms out all day.

Not faffing about with discord though.

I was so interested until I saw Discord was involved. I'll pass

@MinervaX76

Xbox will be able to play with the PC version of the game in the Xbox store.

Ideally in the future they'll add Steam and standalone to the party

I'm so happy to finally have a date!

Been following it since it was announced so I could pickup where I left off on PC, without needing a gamepass sub.

They really need to drop that requirement in console.

Yea. I'll stock to my PC with free online and amazing sales.

There have not been any worthwhile changes to significantly changed the reviews IMO. Is is by far mostly the same as launch with some QOL fixes here and there.

That's not to say anything is wrong with that I enjoyed it at launch.

That said, I'm expecting higher reviews for the Playstation version when all is settled

"Amazing" sure is one word for it.

Looks like some awful AI generated stuff. It even needlessly lightens scenes that were intended to be dark.

If you like Jet Set Radio Future, check out Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.

Even got Hideki Naganuma back for some music.

Oh nice.

I just picked this up for my 3DS, so now I'm torn lol.

And before someone asks, yes I use my 3DS still. Just picked up a blue N3DSXL from Japan recently as well.

Why am I not surprised they didn't have any play testers when making the Xbox port?

@Papa_Emeritus Even if it is, with how key of a feature auto HDR is, a playtesters should have caught this with auto HDR on by default.

Checking this out. When it launches.

Wonder if the the 3rd one will end up being a Doom style Vampire Survivors.

I'd be okay with that.

Aww. Bummer to see. This one has been on my radar for a while now. Hopefully the end product will be worth it!

@BacklogBrad Transparency is certainly a word to use. Not the accurate one for the situation. But surely a word.

Microsoft is anything but transparent. They're playing reactively instead of proactively, as normal.

Additionally bringing up Nintendo and Sony as whataboutisms when Microsoft does not have remotely the install base to back up their behaviours is wild.

This amount of damage control from Microsoft so soon is not giving me any hope for the future.

It honestly feels like they're just trying to pull the wool over peoples' eyes while they sunset it.

@BacklogBrad A corporate talking head is a corporate talking head regardless of who it is

I would not be surprised if stories other sites have ran about her being brought in to sunset Xbox to be true.

People are really out in full force trying to defend another corporate talking head huh?

Where was that energy when anyone else was head?

This is exactly why Xbox will be gone in the next few years. I'm believing more and more that she is indeed there to sunset it.

And to no surprise, most of these accounts defending this were made this year.

Does this mean you'll actually have to work for your cars?

As in it takes more than 5 races after starting with a Golf GTI to get a Hurricán?

GT has this right with having wis qualify to unlock higher tier licenses then unlocking them to get faster cars.

@Vladspartan Should be fair to expect the same as the past couple. Online connection is required. But you don't need gamepass unless you want to do multiplayer.

Had my interest until I saw a lack of gyro.

I really hate how much Microsoft is holding controllers for their platform back.

If she has no tolerance for bad AI how is she still working at a Microsoft? They're notorious for their bad AI.

@Lysterao That's what I said.

Well of course you do. You're gonna be making money hand over fist at the expensive of the quality of the product.

You could see when his soul died back when they closed down the backwards compatibility program.

At that point I feel they took away a lot of his say on Xbox. And essentially made him a Major Nelson-light.

Xbox needs Nadella gone to thrive.

This looks extremely cozy and I'm sad I'm just now hearing of it. Will for sure be checking it out on Steam. Thanks!

Microsoft would just buy them up then close then down after their first game.

At least Sony let them do a few before buying and closing them lol.

Given Tencent's involvement, honestly hard to be upset

@AverageGamer To be fair, everything is an xbox. Which is why I still come here as it is still relevant and saves me from dealing with godawful sites like IGN. For now at least.

That fine and well, but does the rerelease actually make this game fun?

@AverageGamer Went PC myself. Games from both Sony and Microsoft while also being able to give them less money by having Steam rake a cut. All while having free online and sales that would make console only gamers blush.

@DennisReynolds That's exactly what I do.

I even only buy Microsoft games at a discount on Steam so Microsoft has to give a cut to Valve. 🤣

Xbox Rewards have been turned in to Xbox Chores.

If everything is an Xbox, then a Playstation is an Xbox, therefore it is already on Xbox.

Also on PC, another Xbox.

Another nail in the coffin. Online gaming is about socializing and they're stifling that further.

Not using Discord after their BS some time ago. And from what I've seen their BS hasn't stopped.

Can we just bring back forums? This is getting tired.

How about native VR support?

Don't really buy racers without VR support anymore.

I expect announcements for more Xbox content coming to Playstation and Sony putting more things on PC along with a Death Stranding 2 PC release.
