It's not most of the time, but a few days ago I was playing couch co-op with a friend and it literally blocked the most important part. It was a rythm game too π₯² But if it's game by game, well, can't really complain I guess.
@Shinato2024
That's cool to know! I think I knew but I completely forgot. I'm gonna check it next time I boot the console. Thanks ππ»
Do they appear on the top of the screen now so they stop blocking the subtitles? They even f#ck up some tense moments in some games where you need to watch that little part.
I don't think I'm interested in a new-gen console, no matter if it's Microsoft, Sony or whatever. At least not right now.
I think we'll still be getting games for this one for like 4-5 more years.
Been replaying some old Need for Speed games. Finished Most Wanted and Carbon (and Own the City too) already, now playing Underground 1. Also playing Fable 2 for the first time since the direct put me in that mood!
I have like 50 games installed on my base Series S. Some of them are indie games that don't go over 20GB though. I think I have like 30GB of free space.
Maybe this one will be for me. Couldn't get into the last two. Been replaying NFS Most Wanted recently (2005), and realized the music is such a big part in games like these. Since the setting is Japan, maybe I'll like the music this time. I remember being able to put my own music into Midnight Club L.A back on the PS3. That was so awesome. Honestly I might go back to that one. I still have music on my PS3. π

Re: Helldivers 2 Xbox Vs. PS5 Sales Data Shared As Game Reportedly Hits 20 Million Copies Sold
Really good numbers for an old game in a console with a much lower player-base.

Re: Xbox's New Dashboard Is Going Down Well, And Some People Want It On Console & PC
Looks good, but I got used to the actual one tbh.

Re: Carmageddon: Rogue Shift Is Bringing Its 'Brutal Roguelite' To Xbox Next Week
It's not a Day 1 for me, but I am interested.
Still have to play the last one though.

Re: Code Vein 2 Is Getting A Range Of Review Scores Ahead Of Its Full Xbox Release This Week
Always have to look at the PS score to know if a game it's good or not.
The 6s are probably 9s.
I'm gonna try the character creator. π«Άπ»
Re: Two Games Have Quietly Been Cancelled For Xbox Over The Past Week
It always sucks when that happens, but I'll be honest: zero interest in these two.
Re: Fantastic Far Cry Upgrades Could Be Followed Up By More 60FPS Patches From Ubisoft
@Feffster
Honestly I've been playing their games since the PS3/360 era (mostly AC and Far Cry, but others too) and I liked most of them and loved a few.
Can't say the same about other companies.
Re: Rumour: Xbox Might Be Planning A Second Developer Direct Showcase For 2026
Something for Gears and some other games maybe?
Re: Why Is Nobody Talking About One Of The Best Xbox Exclusives Of 2025?
Will definitely check it out! Didn't know about this one!
Always at least a little interested in quirky games.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 24-25)
Been replaying some old Need for Speed games. Finished Most Wanted and Carbon (and Own the City too) already, now playing Underground 1.
Also playing Fable 2 for the first time since the direct put me in that mood!
Re: Opinion: Xbox Dev Direct 2026 Was Great, And One Game Clearly Stole The Show
Definitely stole the show. And Xbox's Developer Direct it's the best show format I've seen so far.
Less talk and more games.
Re: Forza Horizon 6 Is Tweaking Progression In The Hopes Of Addressing A Common Series Complaint
I still feel like they're gonna flood us with cars though, but it does sound better.
Re: Forza Horizon 6's Controversial Game Pass Upgrade Costs As Much As The Game Itself
Just don't buy and that's it.
Re: Fable Showcases Stunning Gameplay Deep Dive, Arrives On Xbox, PC & PS5 Later This Year
@Timppis
I've already seen comments like "they listened, because before you couldn't!"
Re: Fable Showcases Stunning Gameplay Deep Dive, Arrives On Xbox, PC & PS5 Later This Year
Looked really good, better than I expected!
Re: Beast Of Reincarnation Continues To Impress, Releases On Xbox Game Pass In Summer 2026
Glad it's not a slow soulslike like FromSoft games. Really excited.
Re: Prince Of Persia Remake Team Shares Final Message Following Game's Cancellation
I loved The Sands of Time back in the day, but if they release games as good as The Last Crown and The Rogue Prince of Persia, I'll be happy.
Re: Ubisoft Cancels Multiple Games, Closes Studios, And Unveils New Strategy For The Future
Less remakes is always good for me. Now if they cancel BFR that would be good too, but I don't think that'll happen.
Re: Three Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (January 21)
My free time is worth too much for me to try the walking simulator.
Re: Roundup: MIO: Memories In Orbit Gets Strong Reviews As It Arrives On Xbox Game Pass
Another metroidvania, so another game to give it a try.
Re: These 10 Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass, Multiple Major Additions (January 21 - February 3)
This is amazing. Really good picks!
Re: Loads Of Leaked Fable Concept Art Shows Open World Environments, Dungeons & More
I just hope we get to pick our own hero. That makes or break the game for me.
Re: Xbox Developer Direct 2026: Event Date, Start Times & What To Expect From The Showcase
I'm watching this one live. I really wanna see more of Fable.
Re: Ubisoft's Retrofuture Far Cry Game Has Always Deserved 60FPS, And It's Almost Here
Amazing game, far superior to Far Cry 3 imo.
Re: Poll: What Are Your First Impressions Of Star Wars Outlaws On Xbox Game Pass?
Really good game. I played on release and finished it with no problems. And I know it only got better with the patches.
Re: Three Far Cry Games Set To Receive 60FPS Upgrades On Xbox Next Week
Just finished Primal a few weeks ago.
Been thinking of playing Blood Dragon again though.π
Re: Three Games Are Confirmed For Xbox Game Pass In February 2026 So Far
Open World deck builder? That sounds awesome!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 17-18)
Playing Fable 2 on Xbox. A little of Bloomtown too, amazing RPG so far.
And Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005) on my PS3.
Re: Talking Point: Xbox Series X|S Owners, How's Your Storage Looking In 2026?
I have like 50 games installed on my base Series S. Some of them are indie games that don't go over 20GB though.
I think I have like 30GB of free space.
Re: Resident Evil 4 Fans Should Be Well-Served By Requiem's Third-Person Action Next Month
As a Resident Evil 4 (original) fan, I'm not well-served since Revelations 2.
I'm a fan of the originals too. But none of the new ones clicked for me.
Re: Talking Point: How Do You Feel About Xbox Game Pass In 2026?
It sucks that the price increased.
It sucks that as always console users need to pay more to get the same that PC users get for less.
And it's still great value if you have the tlme to use it.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Almost Had Full Ray Tracing On Xbox Series S, But Its RAM Caused Issues
Amazing little console as I always say.
Re: Seven Games Are Jam-Packed Into The First Xbox Free Play Days Of 2026
@FraserG
Honestly it's just to scratch that itch, haha.
I'm playing Fable II right now since we're gonna finally see more of the new one soon!
Re: Seven Games Are Jam-Packed Into The First Xbox Free Play Days Of 2026
I might try formerly known as FIFA.
Re: Xbox Might Have Just Revealed Forza Horizon 6's Release Date
Maybe this one will be for me. Couldn't get into the last two.
Been replaying NFS Most Wanted recently (2005), and realized the music is such a big part in games like these.
Since the setting is Japan, maybe I'll like the music this time.
I remember being able to put my own music into Midnight Club L.A back on the PS3. That was so awesome.
Honestly I might go back to that one. I still have music on my PS3. π
Re: Star Wars Genesis Creator Explains Why Viral Starfield Mod Is 'Never' Coming To Xbox
Never heard of this before, so I get the news of its existence and the news that I won't be able to play it at the same time. ππ»
Re: Xbox Game Pass Players Are Getting A Fantastic Survival Horror Experience Next Week
@LordDieALot
Don't you need to pay for the expansion for that?
Re: Xbox Game Pass Players Are Getting A Fantastic Survival Horror Experience Next Week
I'll pass. The first person camera killed it for me (and the new boring main character since 7). I'm not willing to pay to play in third person.
Re: Three Games Are Available This Week With Xbox Game Pass (January 12-15)
Outlaws was actually pretty good. I imagine it's even better after all the patches and updates.
Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon In January 2026
Still really good value imo.
Re: Xbox Announces Surprise 'Day One' PC Game Pass Addition For Monday, January 12th
Console users gotta pay more for the same (or less) as always.
Re: Is It Worth Buying An Xbox One In 2026?
Better than a PS4 for sure if you wanna play some older games too.
I'm still salty my whole PS3 library was useless on PS4.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 10-11)
Finished Blue Reflection, Lost Dimension and MK vs DC Universe this week.
Not sure what I'll play now.
Maybe Okage: Shadow King, maybe MK11, maybe Wanted: Dead.
Re: Poll: In Order, Which Games Are You Most Excited For At The Xbox Developer Direct?
Fable the most excited for.
Forza Horizon the least excited for.
Re: Another Source Reveals What They Know About The 'Secret' Xbox Developer Direct Game
Being a indie doesn't really narrow it that much, haha. Is there any indie in the works that would be a good surprise?
Re: Roundup: All The Xbox Trailers From The New Game Plus Showcase 2026
There's some cool stuff here, but I'm really glad I didn't spend 3.5 hours watching the show.
Re: Xbox-Published Game Towerborne Ditches Free-To-Play Model, Launches 'In Full' This February
I enjoyed this one. This is good news in my opinion.
