If they have a good deal on the digital only X around the holidays I might scoop one up to put in my basement. Otherwise, I am waiting for the handheld.
GTA was my favorite series once upon a time. I just don’t love GTA Online as much as the single player games, and it is SOOOOO long between installments that I am just not very excited this time.
I am also less enthusiastic about the new elder scrolls after Starfield, and fallout 76. I was very excited for starfield until it came out and I realized how dated it felt.
I love purple but I only buy the rubbery gripped models. Using the silver and blue with the swirls on the back right now. Also still have a blue and red X box one set.
@Kaloudz they are definitely about to bend the knee, otherwise Microsoft can just close down the Activision studios in the UK and that would be a bad look.
I haven’t bought a physical game in at least 4 years. I have the 1 tb expansion for my series x that has 1 tb already and a 3 tb usb hdd for all my backwards compatible games. I even bought a 256gb micro sd card for my Switch.
I played this a while back when it came out on gamepass and was very impressed. It sucked me in with the story told by piecing together what was left behind by those who fled the robots.
Sony really seems to be playing dirty here. It seems whoever is the dominant company turns into a maniac. Back during the 360 days Microsoft performed a lot of shady anti-customer behavior. I guess it’s Sony’s turn now.
I played the beta until I maxed out my level. There were some good and bad moments. The graphics look blurry compared to the last two releases but the progression of the weapon unlocks was interesting.
Nooooooooo! I was really looking forward to this game but the reviews are pretty bad across all the sites. Looks like I will wait for it to maybe hit gamepass and try it then or not at all.
I played the first 3 stages on my lunch break today. The nostalgia is strong here- TMNT the Arcade game was one of my favorite childhood video games and Turtles in Time had a semi permanent spot in my snes.
I had this on psp. I thought it was pretty cool at the time, although I don’t think I will pick it up again. I have soured on FF since the 16bit era, I like my JRPGs Dragon Quest these days.
I agree with digital foundry in that we don’t need new models to reinvigorate the market; however, many past console iterations such as the ps slim etc have streamlined and reduced production costs for the consoles. So if Sony and MS can save a buck it may make fiscal sense to launch a new model.
ARMA is a simulation unlike other FPS. Like the difference between Forza and need for speed. If you go into it with those expectations you will have a better time playing it.

Re: Pick One: If Xbox Acquired One Ubisoft IP, Which Should It Be?
I am pleasantly surprised Tom Clancy got so many votes. I voted on it because I love ghost recon, but I expected everyone to go for Assassin's Creed.

Re: It's Official! GTA 6 Launches For Xbox Series X|S In Fall 2025

Re: Insurgency: Sandstorm Is An Amazing FPS, And It's Heading To Xbox Game Pass
Awesome! I love a good tactical shooter
Re: Xbox Argues With UK Regulator Over Activision Blizzard Deal
Sony really seems to be playing dirty here. It seems whoever is the dominant company turns into a maniac. Back during the 360 days Microsoft performed a lot of shady anti-customer behavior. I guess it’s Sony’s turn now.
Re: Talking Point: Have You Ever Bought An Xbox Design Lab Controller?
I haven’t but I’d like to.

The original Legend of Zelda on NES back in 87. I have completed it at least another half a dozen times again since.
Re: Xbox Is Adding New Install Options For Different Game Types
This is great! I have wasted too much time shuffling games around because of the default download selection.

Re: Xbox Game Pass Is Hurting Right Now, But Larger Forces Are At Play
Honestly this has given me time to explore more existing gamepass titles. I’ve been playing Sniper 5 and turbo golf racing.

I was hoping the deal would be complete before MW2 launched
Re: Report: GTA 6 To Return To Miami, Could Be With Us In 2024
Rockstar hasn’t disappointed yet. I’ll reserve judgement until I see it. Also, a Bonnie and Clyde story sounds dope.
Re: Poll: Would You Pay For A Remake Of The Simpsons: Hit & Run?
Yes, but I would be even more excited for a Road Rage remake.
Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge Is Now Available With Xbox Game Pass
I played the first 3 stages on my lunch break today. The nostalgia is strong here- TMNT the Arcade game was one of my favorite childhood video games and Turtles in Time had a semi permanent spot in my snes.
Re: New Final Fantasy 7 Game Revealed For Xbox, But It's Not 'Remake'
I had this on psp. I thought it was pretty cool at the time, although I don’t think I will pick it up again. I have soured on FF since the 16bit era, I like my JRPGs Dragon Quest these days.
Re: Hands On: Are The Resident Evil Remakes Worth Playing Again On Xbox Series X|S?
I have an LG CX65 oled with 120hz - I will be diving in to this after work.
Re: Reaction: Credit Where Credit's Due, We Got Plenty Of Gameplay At The Xbox Showcase
I agree. I would love it if no one ever showed a cgi trailer again. At this point those all look amazing, gameplay shows what we really want to know.
Re: Bethesda Shares An Extensive First Look At Starfield Gameplay
Definitely hope this isn’t no man’s sky with a prettier texture pack. I have a lot of faith in Bethesda though and I doubt that will be the case.
Re: This Stranger Things Xbox Series S Looks Pretty Gruesome
@fizban3332 good luck! This is pretty sweet.
Re: Digital Foundry Questions The Need For Mid-Gen Console Upgrades
I agree with digital foundry in that we don’t need new models to reinvigorate the market; however, many past console iterations such as the ps slim etc have streamlined and reduced production costs for the consoles. So if Sony and MS can save a buck it may make fiscal sense to launch a new model.

@Clankylad yes, the article says there is an aircraft carrier landing challenge as part of the update.
Re: Hands On: Arma Reforger Is A Barebones But Exciting Look At The MilSim's Future On Xbox
ARMA is a simulation unlike other FPS. Like the difference between Forza and need for speed. If you go into it with those expectations you will have a better time playing it.
Re: Hands On: Arma Reforger Is A Barebones But Exciting Look At The MilSim's Future On Xbox
I gave it a go and I appreciate what it’s doing. If it can find a player base that communicates I think it will be just fine.
Re: PSA: Arma Reforger Has A Free Trial On Xbox Series X And Series S
I have been waiting for arma to come to console for ever! Downloading now.
Re: Poll: What Are Your Release Date Predictions For Starfield & Redfall?
