Never looked at this beyond the reveal trailer because it felt like they're trying to steal Wreckfest's success with that name. Same reason I'd never look at Stumble Guys.
Xbox goes out of their way to give interviews. Youre phrasing is as if an interview with gamereactor is unavoidable. Neither Sony nor Nintendo do this constantly. It's idiotic
"When journalists are asking questions" in a sit down interview you agreed to, lmao
I have some use for console streaming but it doesn't run as well as it should, and it seems to be left to languish as MS abandons Xbox and focuses on cloud etc.
@Sol4ris the point is they constantly take these interviews. The guy you are responding to is hardly the first to say it, it's been a narrative going back to last gen when Phil took over. Sony and N don't do this. It's not a journalism issue.
@TrollOfWar they should have done 1, but threw in the towel right before they finally started putting out decent games that would have been exclusives. It sounds like you think they are doing 3, when in reality they are obviously working towards 2.
This is the company that said the future of game consoles is being a cable tv box. They're not good at this and have gotten everything wrong post Peter Moore.
Nothing I really want is on sale. AoW4 expansion pass 2 on sale WHEN? I know it just came out but would buy FFT if it was on sale. Wayfinder was recently $5 on steam, I'd grab it on Xbox for that price.
@GeeEssEff same thing happened to me, finally out of warranty too. Tried repairing by replacing the switch but couldn't get it desoldered.
I ordered a refurb on Amazon for $100 with an extended 3 yr warranty, which I'm sure I'll put to good use again because these things really are designed to fail.
Disappointed in the Vampire Survivors dungeon crawler in that it uses cards. I really don't care for card games, probably would have loved it otherwise
Make 200 hour games, be surprised when people buy less of them since each one lasts people months. Some serious surprised pikachu **** right here out of Ubisoft.
I very, very rarely play Ubisoft games. Like the last one I remember enjoying was From Dust.
Still playing it several nights a week, it's an all timer coop game.
I really wish Arrowhead would make Magicka back compat or do a remaster or something. I played it on PC and it was hilarious, so much of the DNA carried over to Helldivers coop.
2 minutes in and I'm already yelling at Nintendo. Valve made this because people are using the Steamdeck connected to TVs. I never undocked my Switch. WHERE IS MY NON HANDHELD SWITCH, NINTENDO?
Obsidian doesn't really make great games without Chris Avellone which is a shame. Pentiment has been their best but even that only felt "good" after playing Pillars of the Earth. I hope the 2 sides mend fences at some point.
If you think Obsidians recent games have good writing, that's fine, a lot of people like Marvel movies too, we're just not going to agree.
Wow that poll result, Fable after FH6? Rumored in development since 2017 and announced by Playground in 2020, initial release date set for 2025... and were thinking Playground is going to crank out FH6 first?
Seems insane, we'll see. Have there been stories it's in dev hell? I haven't paid much attention to it to be honest.
Nothing here is going to break into my backlog. I played and liked the first Moonlighter but that was a different time when I had much more time to play games.

Re: Xbox Crowns Its Biggest Third-Party Game Pass Launch Of 2025
Easily GOTY. Some weird haters in here. It's okay to not like a game. You don't need to attack the rest of us.
RIP Silksong though, a game with incomparable hype vs E33 which came out of nowhere. Unexpected result to say the least.

Re: Poll: How Important Is The Xbox Play Anywhere Program To You?

Re: Valve Announces New Hardware, Including A Steam Machine That'll Compete With Xbox
I still have my Steamlink - released 10 years and 2 days ago.
I will almost certainly get either this or the next Xbox. Need to see specs and prices.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 8-9)

Re: BioWare Insists Mass Effect 5 Is Still In Development, Says Team Is 'Exclusively' Focused On It
@Shy_Hallaman I thought Andromeda was awful, but I did finish it... Which one of us like it more? 😂
I have zero faith in this company to make a decent game nevermind anything that lives up to Mass Effect, Bioware died when the doctors sold it.

Re: Halo Infinite's Final Major Content Update Arrives This Month
I loved Infinites multiplayer at launch. I think it's the best playing Halo game, and that is saying a LOT. It's post launch support was total ass.
They hinted at the game having something to rival Spartan Ops for 10 years post launch. Instead we got nothing. Sad really.
Re: Talking Point: Exactly 13 Years Later, How Are You Feeling About Halo 4 These Days?
Incredible graphics for 360
Story was terrible, Cortana looked weird, multiplayer was barely Halo. 3/10 and only that high because of the graphics.

If you can rent a server it's a harder sell for me, but I've done that too for games I really wanted to play like Astroneer.
Re: 'Satisfactory' Brings Its Ultra-Popular Open World Co-Op Game To Xbox This Week
no crossplay, no hosting my own dedicated server, pass for me
Re: All New Games Coming To Xbox In November 2025
There's a Sacred 2 Remaster?! 👀
That game is like a wonderful fever dream, everything from the gameplay to the story to the Blind Guardian concert. I need to buy it and replay it.
I also want to get into Monster Hunter Stories.
This might turn into a decent month for me.

Re: Poll: Which Was Your Favourite Xbox Game Pass Title From October 2025?
BG2 was my favorite CRPG for over 20 years, but was finally surpassed. HOMM3 will probably never be surpassed, so it's got my vote.
