@RiverGenie Ordered it after seeing this. 🥰

You'd have to pay me to buy from Xbox Drift Labs again.

How, in the year of our Lord, 20 and 25, does a $50, third party controller, have better hardware and more functions?

Sadly, seems as though the definition they took is resulting in my canceling of subscriptions with them and not purchasing their games any longer.

Gonna be weird to see my 20 Year badge disappear.

Already own it on PC and full of Halo mods.

What's funny is my PC version is fully modded with everything replaced with Halo assets.

Something the Xbox version wotn ever see.

Already got it on PC so it'll be a pass for me.

I'm not sure safe and Xbox or Microsoft should be used in the same sentence lol.

Not touching any Microsoft games again until Nadella is axed.

He has been ruining Microsoft since he took over due to his hateboner for hardware.

Not only has Microsoft pushed my back to PC gaming, but they've also made sure that I will not be touching their future releases until Nadella is kicked out.

Oh well, more savings for me!

Microsoft has single handedly killed any interest I might have ever had in any of their IPs with all this BS.

Well yea. QA will be handedled by 3rd party partners that are making Xbox branded hardware.

No need to have your own team when you can toss it to someone else.

Looks like I was right lol

Most people don't. Went back to PC myself because Xbox is providing no benefits with their hardware so it is just another plastic box taking up space.

One of the reasons it is selling so poorly.

And this is coming from someone with two day one Series Xs.

We look forward to continuing the conversation

My friends, the conversation is dead and gone.

Sad thing is the campaign is the only good part of it.

@RegnumSolipsi Cool. That's your opinion.

My opinion is that Halo 4 was the worst story with the godawful, show horned romance.

The sound design was murder on the ears with everything being way too tinny. To the point I had to create an entirely sepeste audio profile to kill the highs a bit. And the multiplayer was awful.

Halo 5 was alright. Especially War zone.

Halo Infinite was back the opposite direction. Desync that still isn't fixed to this day. Player outlines. Terrible mtx system. Unfinished campaign with worse ending than Halo 2's cliffhanger. Missing entire modes and features from previous games. I can go on all day.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner Lijely just keep making Horizon as I'm it sells better.

Retire FM and let Sony have the Sim field with GranTurismo

Given the attitude toward Outer Worlds 2, this isn't information I'd publisize.
Would be one more reason for people to avoid it.

Mentioning 343/Halo studio involvement is a mark against a game until they show they even know how to make a good game.

Pseudo blades.

What a tease.

Fresnel lenses are a joke. They should ajve used whe Quest 3 instead of the 3S. Can even use the 3S without getting a headache because of the a noyngly small sweetspot from the fresnel lenses.

Just like the ROG Ally X, this does not play native Xbox games.

Microsoft was really went "Think X and S naming is complicated? Hold my beer.“

To add, it is the inferior 3S instead if the 3.

I suspect there is a significant overlap in the people saying "Boohoo extra button press" and "Boohoo ads".

Some people have never developed user interfaces and it shows.

The point is to be as quick as possible with as few interactions as possible. Some people are just happy settling for what scraps they can get I guess.

If you did this anywhere in an enterprise setting you'd be fired on the spot. But for consumer? A-Okay because it feeds them more junk.

Thankfully you don't have to deal with all the BS on PC and can disable every thing you don't like.

It sucks it has turned out like it has. Remedy used to be so loved.

After Control and Alan Wake 2 though, Remedy has pretty much lost all goodwill.

They pushed me back to PC. And I use my Series X pretty much just for BlackOps4 4 player splitscreen Zombies.

So I guess I'm part of this metric too lol

I already do this with Steam.

Not sure what this is supposed to do for me.

Only solidified my choice moving back to PC tbh.

Why am I not surprised.
It was doublespeak or a mess up.

So back to it likely being a PC hybrid and only game swith PC versions will be playable on it concerning BC.

Exactly like the Xbox ROG Ally X.

@TheGameThrifter Correct. Just like other backwards compatible games that are no longer sold.

If they let me pop OG Xbox games I to my PC though thay would be game changer.

Well hell.

Color me green and call me a pickle.

Nice news for a chance. Glad for some of my cynicism to be proven wrong.

@TheGameThrifter
Permissions should only be required if they're planning on selling the game. Otherwise should be fine.

The biggest thing is backwards compatible.

"Your existing library" I am willing to bet, at best means current backwards compatible games and not Xbox games ever released. As there are a lot that still aren't backwards compatible.

@Questionable_Duck Microsoft has always been very careful with their wording. Xbox means Xbox One and Series.

360 means Xbox 360.

Original Xbox means original Xbox.

The saying Xbox library only guarantees the last two generations.

Unless of course you're implying this means they're bringing back the backwards compatibility program so the tons of omitted 360 and original Xbox games in peoples' libraries can now be played.

I'm which case I'd image they to be making a huge deal over it. Whereas this is a footnote.

@FatalBubbles Half truths aren't lies when it comes to businesses.

If they were, then they were lying when they saying BC was impossible on PC.

The Xbox ROG Ally X is a hybrid device.

It outputs to anything with a HDMI port and you can use a controller of your choice with it.

All while running higher performance when plugged in due to no power restrictions. You just have the option to run full power and flat line the battery when unplugged ASAP, unlike the Switch.

@FatalBubbles

Essentially going to be like the, Xbox ROG Ally X.

It can only play Xbox games that have a PC version.

So example: You cannot play the Xbox version of Doom 2016 on the Xbox ROG Ally X. Because the Xbox version of it is not on PC. You have to play the steam version.

Lost Odyssey? You cannot even play that on the Xbox ROG Ally X because there is no PC version.

So unless they have a true emulation layer thay can play Xbox games, which I want to point out they said multiple times is not possible, even though anyone with a brain knows it is BS, the backwards compatibility will be limited to ownership of PC games that are also on Xbox.

@FatalBubbles No. They said there would be a form. Which just as easily could be PC versions of the Xbox game with cross saves.

Whereas there are Xbox only games that have nice PC versions that cannot be played on PC.

So the next Xbox is gonna be a PC.

That means no Xbox BC games unless the rumored emulation layer is also true.

Microsoft pushed me back to PC with all their BS. So really couldn't care less at this point.

Raising pricing just as I'm migrating to PC Gamepass.

If they increase the price of it I'll drop it too.

That is still goofily priced.

4 player, Splitscreen, Zombies or another skip.

As long as Locus is still there. I'm in.

I'm hoping they did all the work before Todd's passing.

@N00BiSH It runs Windows. So no.

So judging from the name it is some kind of spin off.

Probably gonna pass on this unless it ends up being a proper sequel.

Some of these look like they'll be bangers on PC.

@Coletrain If PC is an Xbox, no issues at all.

I've had a PC controller with gyro for atleast 10 years.

@Coletrain Nothing PC hasn't been doing for ages. And PC is an Xbox according to Microsoft.

So yea, bring it to Xbox! Lol.

Everything except Eternal Punishment and Innocent Sin.

Those are the only Persona remakes I want.

I had fun for a whole 5 minutes until it showed its Ubislop ways.

Was a slap to the face getting Splinter Cell stuff in the game to boot.

$430 is absolutely insane.

Kinda sad when even hardware is cheaper on PC.

Xbox controller gonna need TPM sensors, a gyro, and a pice cut, if they're gonna want me to replace my 8BitDo that already does all this, for way less.
