Kilamanjaro

I hope this launches and it launches on time

I already bought a PC from all the waffling. I indeed died hard as an Xbox fan 💀

Dumb name, good game. I'm all for it. Multiplayer would be welcome or even better, have this be DLC for Infinite and we'd gobble it up and pay for new skins anyway

Idk if Switch has enough memory to run this, I'd prefer if they do release it to keep it to ~100 planets if it helps performance

Nintendo devices for 30+ years: power on with game, hit Start or A. The thing they take about with updates really killed me with the ROG, I just wanna play games end of day on this thing. Sticking with other devices

That's cool, I want more wraps

@GeeEssEff yeah for real, the fact it's also one of the top innovations of the year for adding a button and reworking Windows for PC handhelds(which they need to do anyway) is nuts . I just picked up a laptop with a 5080 which pays itself off after 5 years of GPU at $30/mo plus the cost of a console or PC handheld. Will just buy games on PC sales to save myself the branding identity crisis

This is great news for the industry and consumers. Oh wait, increase 😞

It's such a good game and not full of crap. I love it, excellent platform to build upon for years to come.

You can have your full *PC gaming library with you wherever you go, not Xbox library. The marketing team is bold!

You can grab a TUF or Lenovo 5i pro gaming laptop for a couple hundred bucks more that run games better and even have some upgradeability. This is more inconvenient than sliding a laptop into your bag. Just my opinion given my experience with ROGs in the past. Switch 2 will also run games very well at 45% of the price and comes with a dock and is much smaller. Always felt the ROG was between two worlds, personally not a fan but glad for those that like it as it is an an undeniably cool concept.

@Zenszulu preach

Their feedback portal is just AI and I spent 15min trying to give feedback and got a human that looped me right to the start. What a joke!

I am immediately downgrading to Essentials and buying a laptop in the next two months for free online play

I called this a year ago after the first price increase, they want to push Xbox gamers to PC and I've been saving towards that the past year so when my sub is up end of November I'll be there without Gamepass and my Steam and Epic library. Crazy and totally disconnected from the market. Who gives a crap about Day 1 when the games launch buggy? I knew they'd keep doing this.

Just remake the games released on OG Xbox and I'll pay you $120 for the game EA. DO IT!

How do PC users like PC Gamepass?

@yeaman they have some of the highest rated games of all time on Switch and Switch 2 with games optimized to run on them with no additional settings tweaks. I'd say yes it is. Xbox imo should've only focused on 1 handheld instead of two so vastly different, the Ally X is the better experience hands down and pretty sure a lot of Xbox fans will be underwhelmed by the lower tier entry

Haven't they only sold like 1.2 million Xboxes in Japan. They're really skewing numbers this week

They sold out of Series X in Italy! Oh wait, they stopped producing there two years ago 😂 give us numbers brah, Nintendo sold millions, how big is production here?

Can't believe there's even a campaign, that's great! I got it for the stellar multiplayer. The gift that keeps on giving

@Cikajovazmaj may as well get a gaming laptop for that price or start building a PC right? Crazy prices

@BattleMonkey that's Nintendo's console strategy, use older easier to develop for tech and their games and output are amazing for it.

They may as well have not made the lighter version.

@Boogaloo_Jenkins we regret to inform you but prices will be going up to $89.99 for our first party titles

Sorry Microsoft it was OUR largest investment ever with the price increases. Swapping to CORE this year but have to admit the past 13 months have been bang on. The year before was trash in comparison

@BaldB3lper78 you I know I bet part of the reason us Xbox made production cut decisions early last summer in multiple markets and now the supply is lower than demand so they shot themselves in the foot. Whereas Sony has had production running for PS5 sales. Either way it's a shame

I actually bought a Series S to host all my previous Xbox gens on and to play games while traveling with an HDMI. I returned it since I have a Switch 2 and a bunch of other handhelds (3DS, Evercade) and my Series X is just so very good. Decided to put the Series S money into an upcoming PC build because I think over 5-7 years the cost of the PC will even out because of the discounted games available there across multiple storefronts. I really should've bought the S as a side console when it was $230 new 😭 can't justify it with new consoles and a Series X but I get why you did it and am happy you're loving it!

@Valhura big Halo fan and I finally stopped sometime last summer. They cut seasons, then they cut cutscenes and then the prices for the items were a slap in the face to the few thousand people left playing because they're so high. I'm sure the number is probably between 3-5k people still playing and most are doing the horde mode which is PvE. Good to grind through their impossibly long Hero Rank to get Master Chief Armor which is not worth hundreds of hours for

I hope the next Halo game launches with all this type of content. If Forge is done correctly they can be rolling out new maps or cycling some in every week with proper battle pass challenges to keep the live service engaging

I threw away my OG Xbox because it was broken with the lord of the rings game inside And I was pissed about the EA LOTR game. They played so good, gameplay still holds up. Hope they re-release them

I love artists. This looks great.

@WildConcept6 yeah I filtered to games over $40 to see what big companies are there and aside down Microsoft, Square Enix has got to be the biggest supporter. I think Microsoft will eventually include this in contract renewals in the future to make it more prominent or they'll alter their hardware so it's considered a PC in Current contracts so ownership carries over. Interesting to see how they'll work it out, love the concept just think for the hundreds of games I own it's not a fully cleaned out feature by comparison

@WildConcept6 I've used Play Anywhere on a ROG Ally and have been really disappointed with the selection. The GTA reference is a bit odd because there's really not another game like it that drops a billion dollars in sales in 2-3 days. I like the concept but in reality there are hardly any worthwhile games or communities on Xbox Play Anywhere compared to the vast amount that aren't. Those are all fair points & I want it to work but we can see it's under utilized. I did take a look at the latest link above and can see there are a TON more games there than in 2023 so will have to go check it out next chance I get. Fair points,fair points

@Gabrie couldn't agree more. Why would they target multiple systems to be paid once? Nice idea, doesn't work

Really glad they're bringing high value games to this service..oh wait

Note to self: don't name first wireless controller II .
Honestly Hope Xbox allows regular Bluetooth connectivity for their next piece of hardware to avoid minimum pricing of $100 for what should cost $30-50

Hey the Fed might announce interest rate cuts, bet they'll adjust the their pricing based on the next two meetings & some tariff announcements to blow over. Bad timing to launch anything without variable pricing being a thing (which would suck)

Keep the news coming! Think buying a Series S recently to compliment my Series X is the right move to scratch my portability of higher end games I wanna play. I have a carry on bag and access to a TV when traveling so think it makes the most sense for my situation as the Switch 2 can take care of anything portable in between.

So while I've been afainstbyetting any new Xbox hardware, I have also had an ASUS Z1 Xtreme which I didn't like and I've wanted to get new memory for the Series X so I can store more hames on it. So what did I do? Bought a 1 TB Carbon Black Series S that's actually smaller than the ROG (which requires lots of charging when playing the type of games I like it else the battery tocks down like a clock). I'll be using this to store my games, take traveling and still be able to save for a PC build next year. It's really more of just a machine to play 1-2 games I like anyway & PC handhelds haven't really scratched my itch they way I need it yet. Happy theyre launching now so they can improve and lower the price in the future.

I've had probably some of the most immersive experiences of my life at 16 bit, 64 bit and the 360 era. Graphics are only really important for immersion if the gameplay, story and controls are great. I'm all for seeing what their goal is and what new experiences if any they can create

Ohhhh thank you! I'm buying this 100% absolutely love GameSir and have been shopping for this type of controller for MONTHS. it's a a day one controller for me

All Switch 2 needs to do is launch the COD4 remake and a Zombies collection focused on local couch coop and they're fine

That sucked yesterday. Could've at least sent a message about it to our consoles.

Assuming the G7 Pro is Bluetooth without a USB, it will be an instant buy. I love their wired controller which I returned as soon as I learned about a wireless version coming.

I am guessing it was Sony that had the good idea to include ODST here and not the other way around

I wish I never bought this to resell lol

@FMT they're about to layoff the Japanese nugget studio

Hope they have an 8K mode too. In all honesty, I'll take 120fps at 1080p or higher, love me them frame rates

Graphics could be better but MAN is this game a lot of fun. It's exactly what people want from COD without all the silly ass skins and battle royale gameplay. Just fun tactical missions without being too rainbow six-y
