Re: Bungie Delays Xbox Shooter Marathon After Mixed Feedback To 2025 Alpha

Krzzystuff

@Kilamanjaro unless you're the one paying for it and might not recover all that money. I think this is done and dusted.

A niche market game that wasn't well received is already bad news, add in that it's all based on stolen art and it's a wrap folks.

Not sure what they do with Bungie but hopefully all the management that's been a big part of all the issues finally get booted.

Feel bad for all the devs that didn't have anything to do with the art theft and had their feedback on how to make the game good ignored. Expect cost cutting initiatives at Bungie before the year is over.

Re: Talking Point: Would You Like To See A New Type Of Forza Game In 2026?

Horizon is great but they need to go back to the magic of 4. I don't know if it's the speed of how you accumulated cars or what but something was off from 4. 5 looks fantastic and was fun but i recall feeling like you just got cars thrown at you all the time and the sense of accomplishment kinda went away. Could be that I'm old and new gen just needs everything easily? If that's the case allow me to go to the top of Mt. Fuji and yell at clouds in 6.

Re: According To Sales Estimates, Final Fantasy 16 Had A Rough First Week On Xbox

Krzzystuff

Hopefully they didn't expect gangbusters for a game that's been out for a while. I'd expect anyone with multiple consoles or a PC who wanted to play this already played it... and it was a game that was divisive amongst the FF fans I thought. I've never had an intention to play it but could it be that it's just not a great game, is old and had no marketing on Xbox?

Re: Xbox First-Party Handheld Plans 'Essentially Cancelled', Claims Report

Krzzystuff

After seeing the presentation i do believe that a Xbox made handheld is likely dead. They have said they are moving towards a more PC based system going forward so while i still expect the next console to come out and play console games, I'm expecting that next gen they transition to the new PC format and that's it for console games.

Devs just need to develop for Xbox PC, everything is play anywhere because it's just one licence, physical goes away completely and they likely don't make any more hardware outside of controllers but do licence the OS out for 3rd party systems.

Hoping the series X doesn't die so I can sell it for a decent penny with it's disk drive and the original box I kept when it's time to upgrade to the new stuff. Expecting Xbox ROG Ally X to be like $1.5K CAD after taxes at launch... hopefully it drops in price at some point. The current ROG ally X is $1.1K pre tax today. That's just dumb.

Re: Developer Reveals Surprisingly Critical Feedback After Launching On Xbox Game Pass

Krzzystuff

People choose to put games in the service. Also there's a ton of games out there and people have limited time and money. It's a double edge sword as some have said already and without gamepass i never would have played the first game, let alone buy it. I did play it and enjoyed it due to gamepass however. I've also not played the second one yet because of lack of time. If they didn't want to be in there at launch they shouldn't have signed the deal. Try and negotiate for a a year after launch, just expect less money unless you blow up in popularity.

Again it's an option, so you can say no. Can't take the money and be mad that your game isn't selling when it's also on other systems... that's not the fault of gamepass.

Re: Five Reasons Why I'm Incredibly Excited For The ROG Xbox Ally Handheld

Krzzystuff

I've said it multiple times that I had no interest in this and was looking forward to the official Xbox one in a few years but after the showcase in definitely a feeling a little college girl curious about this. Definitely won't be a day 1 purchase, I'll hold out to see how it actually performs, costs and I'll need to see how much of an issue if any it being PC gamepass vs console this is for me.

Re: Poll: How Would You Grade The Xbox Games Showcase 2025?

Krzzystuff

Gave it a B. It was the least exciting out of the past 3 years but it's still the best showcase around. There were a bunch of titles that weren't in gamepass shown and a bunch of stuff wasn't for me. Phil saying we're getting a Forza next year does get me excited for what's coming in 2026...and that handheld was actually better than i expected. Definitely won't be a day 1 purchase but might be something down the line if they don't pull the trigger on making their own handheld.

Re: Xbox Handheld: Everything We Know So Far, Including The Latest Rumours

Krzzystuff

If it doesn't play your Xbox library I ain't looking at it as an Xbox handheld. Rumours are that next gen the console and PC will be one and the same but as it stands it's not and i want a handheld Xbox...not a regular handheld with an Xbox button. Hopefully they move forward with their handheld or at least make an OS that other's can use to make it a portable Xbox.

Re: Poll: Which Is Your Favourite Gears Of War Game On Xbox?

Krzzystuff

I've actually never finished a gears game yet! I started the ultimate version on PC while waiting for the series X launch but apparently the save data doesn't transfer from PC to console so i dropped it. I've installed it twice since then to finally play it but with the new version coming i once again deleted it and will play it through for the first time this year.... hopefully

Re: Talking Point: Xbox Fans, How Do You Find Time For All These Amazing 2025 Games?

Krzzystuff

I don't lol. I just wish i has this as a child...but then again I'd likely really be a bum if i had access the all these games. Expedition 33 I'm playing in July, have a week without the family and I'm no lifing it to get it done in that week.

Most of my game time is on the phone so I've been playing slay the spire as it's touch controls and doesn't need a good connection. Really would benefit from the handheld so hopefully it's not a turd when they announce it...i need it to play local offline gamepass games.

Re: Reaction: Xbox's Third-Party Strategy Is Finally Making Sense To Me

Krzzystuff

No crystal ball to tell the future but if they approve more variety of games as a result and these games are in gamepass that I can play on Xbox hardware if I want to then I'm all for it. I love Gamepass and am very interested in their handheld. So I really don't see any reasons to switch platforms myself as lossing gamepass, cloud and play anywhere isn't something I'm willing to do.

Just don't be greedy and reinvest into more games of all genres and sizes please.

Re: Xbox's Next-Gen Vision Could Transform How We Look At Consoles In The Future

Krzzystuff

As a self proclaimed tech simpleton I'm all for the console over a PC because I hate the tweaking and twerking. I want to power it up and play, that's it. So if they Frankenstein a PC and a Console where it's the console experience with the PC benefits I'm all in...but it's gotta be plug n play like today for me. Gamepass and Xcloud have been massive for me since getting back into gaming this gen.

Re: Former Xbox Exec Throws Shade At Switch 2, Says It's A 'Hard Pass'

Krzzystuff

Switch is a toy in my eyes and at that price it's not one I'm rushing out for. The kids were supposed to save up and buy it for themselves like the last one but that $800 CAD post tax price is just too much! Might have to help them out with now lol. Eventually we'll get it I'm sure but in a year or two. All this recession talk ain't ideal to launch such an expensive kids toy with higher priced games.... timing us really off for them.

Re: Xbox Handheld Seemingly Revealed By ASUS In New Teaser Trailer

Krzzystuff

I really could use a handheld but I'm definitely holding out for the official one from Xbox. It will 100% need to have the ability to play games locally and offline... with a push of a button for the offline hopefully instead of the PC tweaking and twerking required. I am a simpleton... make it easy peasy or you ain't getting my cash.

Re: Xbox Has Officially Delayed Fable Into 2026

Krzzystuff

More time is always good so no issues with that but I'm wondering if this is more to get as far away from GTA6 than anything else. They keep claiming GTA is coming in 2025, no one believes it....but maybe it's actually a thing. Either way, not like Xbox has a shortage of games and this actually hurts their lineup.
