This is probably the best year for shooters of all time. Open to other years. Space Marines 2, Ready or Not, Doom The Dark Ages, Ready or Not, Battlefield 6, new COD, Arc Raiders, Helldiver's 2 and then awesome updates across F2P shooters, my favorite shooter Hunt Showdown and many more. This is a great game too, I need more money
The only way Bioshock 1 makes sense is with much more access to Rapture and side stories to playthrough because the Bioshock Collection already looked and played very well. Likely why it was cancelled. If you can get all 3 games for $10 why spend $40-60 for a remake of 1?
@Millionski they've added a lot of fun stuff you can play around with for another 4-8 hours. Worth trying it out but not sure the longevity is there beyond it
Please stop supporting the game and release the next one already. There are hardly any players online anymore and some kind lobbies have 3-5 minute plus wait times. I'm a diehard fan and have been playing Infinite for years, they did a lot of work now that should have been the way they supported the game from launch instead of half assing it, dropping seasons and cutscenes and then suddenly putting in really nice updates. Kudos to whoever picked it up but c'mon, the world has moved on 343. Put all this cool content into the next game
More companies need to be releasing these and happy to see it's not $150+ like other manufacturers. Bummer is the USB charger for connection, will wait for the GameSir Pro. Was just about to add to cart before seeing that, I need the slot in the front for other accessories so it's a no go, such a shame. Hope Xbox allows for more Bluetooth controllers next gen, this gatekeeping is dumb and expensive for us Xbox users
@Ricky-Spanish if PS5 has faster load times due to its architecture and it includes all the QoL features and DLC it may be the definitive way to play the game. Let's see
Exciting new hardware with new features sounds like a nice thing. I feel it's just at the point where Xbox makes gaming PCs whereas Nintendo and PS are still experimenting with new ways to play or enhancements. I'd like the rumored feature heavy Xbox controller to launch that adds gyro controls and more couch coop games would be welcome moving forward
@CallMeDuraSouka MFA is a joke because it's all getting leaked. Every year it's one or two leaks for my personal data, such a shame. They say don't write down stuff on paper but literally, never had a paper stolen from me 😂 in Germany they do postal verification for stuff and I hate it
I miss the old days where you could just access Xbox Live by going down to the pub and out drinking Microsoft's silly old boys who would then grant you permanent verified access, regardless of age, because they respected you for being a man
I actually played the ROG at Gamescom and I remember it being a lot of fun. The controls and swapping to games wasn't easy so hoping this collab makes the overall ROG handheld PC experience better. There's really not a difference between the regular ROG and Xbox ROG from what's been mentioned so far aside from a button that has Xbox on it
I really dont get all the crap they play with Microsoft insiders, Alpha insiders and only some of each group getting access to features. I've been an insider and I don't know what I'm getting other than Wal Mart ads 😭 thank you guys for posting, I wish Microsoft would hire competent people like you to write their articles and inform the gaming public, thank you Pure Xbox team! 🙏
I remember the Gamescom before Starfield launched, like a few weeks before, watching the in person demo recording. They really paid some random non-gamers to over hype the game and say "Starfield is so effing awesome!" And I remember the skepticism on a lot of the Germans faces and voices 😂 the launch was good imo, I enjoyed the game a lot but it did not meet the hype that first week
I want the GameSir Pro controller for this more than I want the game, it looks so beautiful and they're hall effect joysticks. Really liked the wired variant but the wireless version with the Wuchang design art is sweet
Shane they don't put taking care of their people as one of their priorities. Microsoft is set to add another trillion dollars in valuation by this time next year.
@Ben Kerry the real talk of the town is their official wireless controller coming out for this game from GameSir, such good freaking controllers. Link for you and their website has more details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZklIzEYkr0
@Kaloudz it might help if you focus on faction storylines, those are much shorter and will make you feel accomplished. The Vanguard for example or any of the faction questlines. Main story is actually pretty short as well in the grand scheme of things but you won't have fun only focusing on that, it's the weakest part of the game lol
Woohoo! I wanna get back into my long ass playthrough, really hope they keep adding things and making the game run better. More things to do and variety are welcome, I've said it before and I'll keep saying it. They've built an awesome universe and just need to fill it more fun things to do! Let us take ships between playthrough please...
They should honestly keep supporting this game, improve load times and create more variety in planet based spawns of "dungeons" and space stations. More enemy types, actual space bosses,and variety in types of enemies are welcome as well. I really enjoyed my 130+ hours with the game. I think for most people they didn't dive into all of the hand built bespoke content and rather got upset and the random planet generation of content. Having a buddy join your world online for coop would also be fun.
Nice to hear someone with business sense talking about this, now if Xbox had hired and listen to this man those games would be out & people would feel respected at Xbox Game Studios.
@Questionable_Duck I think that's totally fair, Halo CE really was a moment in time game that set the scene for console shooters and online multiplayer with it's sequels. Local LAN parties and big tournaments for console shooters, lots of fun in the early days. Other games have stronger stories but Halo really was excellent on OG Xbox. Interested to see how you like the sequels!
Time to get rid of this next? Come back with a stronger format and hall effect sticks and mappable buttons? I hope for the latter but assume the first since they probably only make a few dollars in profit per controller.
@Sindayl I need to get more into my Switch 2 tbh, loaded so many Switch 1 games on. I can't wait for Duskbloods. Nintendo has always had good game play, a fun time and you can expect great surprises as a gamer. They don't have the strongest hardware but you know they're in the business of building entertaining experiences
So they are putting money into Call of Duty, Candy Crush, WoW, Halo, Gears, Forza and maybe Sea of Thieves. Really the ABK merger just let them destroy talent and studios and decrease competition in the space, MSFT couldn't compete in hardware and when software failed they bought the biggest studios. This was a great console and I'll keep the Series X forever but c'mon, thousands put into this ecosystem and it'll be gone shortly. We will keep our games but let's not really think Microsoft is investing hard into Xbox core gamers, they want the growth markets in mobile and PC. They should've had better studio management the past 5+ years rather than wasting everyone's time.
Oh man I don't want Pure Xbox to go away, I hope Hookshot and you guys can get ahead of the cancellations of Xbox and cover Microsoft game studios. These studios and games getting cancelled are bad for the overall ecosystem including games media, 3rd parties, 1st parties and the gamers. Sad to see it. I honestly was curious what power this IP has given it's only been a couple solo games and we aren't really clamoring for more. Just feel it's the fact these things are promised then abandoned.
