@Vipor007 gamespot gave it a 5/10 with a 3hr long campaign,absolute tripe,and they have the audacity to sell this for 70 quid, Phil shouldve stepped in and said "woah there ,19.99 this fellas"
@BaldBelper78 of course it is ,but its also about brand ,xbox will release a few stinkers ,but I also feel they may release a couple of excellent games ,they have to,to be honest im more excited about sonys response ,they have to ,competition is great for us gamers.
@docLEXfisti but xbox fans took starfield as there own exclusive,it was the saviour of xbox, even though its been in development for years,if cod had scored highly I think you'd be singing a different tune.
@Kienda its happened in the past when ps has had a bad week due to stock shortages ,may and June i believe ,they also stopped supplying stores with the old ps5 as all future sales will be the ps5 slim ,so this may have had something to do with it ,anyway they both got trounced by the switch ,with 66k units sold in the same week 😂
@carlos82 yeah more or less ,but it makes xbox gamers have hope, if you look at the total figures ,its dismal for xbox only a 2 percent market share in Japan ,over 2 million ps5 sold where they have a 40 percent market share ,the rest is obviously the switch,xbox had a good week ,but unfortunately it means nothing,and let's make it clear ,it has nothing to do with the ABK deal,Japanese gamers won't care,also no Japanese company will ever be acquired by ms,with those figures ,let's face facts here ,xbox are doing better ,but they couldn't really do any worse.
@Fiendish-Beaver I hate pvp ,but in the original gears it was magical,if you've got a good team who communicates it was really something special,it wouldn't happen now ,because people are dic*s 😂
Not a fan of racing games ,I gave forza a go and it bored me to tears ,however, I do love me a split screen mode in any game ,and I would give it a go if this was incorporated, split screen ,few drinks and a few mates ,is a right old banter filled laugh 😁
@themightyant I made some great friends with gears 1 and 2 some of which I still talk to now ,fantastic games ,the mp maps just went too big after 2 ,it wasn't the same ,it needs small tight maps,it was the only mp game I played and the only one I was good at,the less said about judgment the better ha ha.
@Kobeandodom I dont for one second believe that ms did this, to stop people cheating at cod or whatever, a multi billion dollar company wouldn't care ,its all about the dollar,if they can make a quick buck and then spin it ,to then make out theyre doing it for the consumer they will.
@Kobeandodom no,what would be pro consumer ,is getting rid of these 'cheating devices' for online mp only ,and allow gamers to use any device they see fit, on their consoles they paid 500 for ,but it isn't about that is it,its about money.
@NeoRatt well it cost them 50 million for Gotham knights and 15 million a month for gta v ,so exoprimal wouldn't have been that cheap ,microsoft estimates jedi survivor as 300 million ,it isn't cheap.
@NeoRatt it was a new ip and also mp only ,of course theyre gonna except a wad of cash from ms to put it on game pass ,it would've been a fair few million ,they won't put one of their more established ips on there though.
Didn't know who Sarah bond was till now ,she's that awkward,cringey woman who does the xbox showcase things sometimes,hopefully she's better at being a president of something,something..than she is at presenting.
@Bionic-Spencer I tried it last night ,looks great ,plays like any other racing game,all that talking at the begining was annoying me so turned it off and played fallout 4 ,which I was suprised that it actually doesn't look that much different to starfield.
The oil rig game looks interesting nice sea effects ,ill give that a bash,but what in the gamepass fodder,is that other thing,looks awful ,last time I saw running animation like that ,was in syphon filter in 1999

Re: Alan Wake 2 'Excellent' On Xbox Series X & The Best Console Version, Digital Foundry Concludes
I'll get it on ps5 ,after watching the full video ,the differences are minimal, so ps5 it is for the better pad.

Re: New Xbox Policy To Block Unauthorised Accessories

Re: New Xbox Policy To Block Unauthorised Accessories

Re: Obsidian's Sci-Fi RPG The Outer Worlds Surpasses Five Million Sales
@TakeItEasy it didn't do that well,4 years selling 5 million on 4 platforms ,6 if they included ps5 and series s/x ,isn't that great.
Re: Obsidian's Sci-Fi RPG The Outer Worlds Surpasses Five Million Sales
@ebony-shabba I think any 1st party games on game pass should include the dlc as well.
Re: Obsidian's Sci-Fi RPG The Outer Worlds Surpasses Five Million Sales
@trev666 think I might of missed something ,only took me just over 20hrs ,and I dont rush games.
Edit
Just had a look and on average its 13hrs,to do everything its 39hrs ,think ill have another go see what I missed.
Re: Forza Motorsport Reportedly Racing Ahead With New Launch Records

Re: Forza Motorsport Reportedly Racing Ahead With New Launch Records
There was no game pass in 2017 when the last game came out ,stories like this make my head hurt.

Re: Starfield Launch Set Record For "Most Game Pass Subscriptions Added On A Single Day Ever"
@Bionic-Spencer yeah a lot of people won't renew,but I doubt ms releasing those figures ,they do this all the time when a new game hits game pass.
