They really could update the Xbox Family app to be even better like add everyone in your family household and monitor everyone including yourself the town you've played etc not just the kids.
I bought Burnout Paradise again because I just love that game and for £4.99 can't complain about that, Space Marine 2 i actually got so bored of the campaign mode i actually preferred the first game. Don't get me wrong it looks amazing but I seriously just got bored the levels just seems so long with walk wave after wave then walk forward but I have to evade more than I did in the first one
Sunsetting paid content and still selling it at lower prices just for the weapons, but then even getting rid of the original story of D2 and putting in it's stupid lore books.
Nerfing weapons when they are used all the time and upping others because they don't get used
Releasing crap DLC
Then they lied to Sony and oversold themselves and the money that was paid was supposed to keep jobs but it didn't. Pete Parsons knew it was out so decided to buy a fleet of cars for himself while others lost their jobs and now the sly f is laughing all the way to the bank probably with his private pension
Oh FFS no you have a massive portfolio of IPs that could get a massive revival and yet again Halo, Gears Forza is mentioned when they could seriously look deep and find games that could be revived and exclusive to console and PC
As much as she's doing something stuff like this should be handled by your team's you employed. We didn't do this for Original Xbox or Xbox 360 id like to start seeing some announcements for some old IPs coming back for god's sake I have a great console that is the XSX and it really hasn't got much going for it that it should have because all the stupid moves they've done
I mean PS5 has been slightly underwhelming this gen as well but Xbox is on another level. They could change that but they just seem to be doing rubbish like this more
A bit like Playstation they seem to be the same games over and over on sale would love to see more Xbox 360 games on sale and original Xbox games come to the store. I've been building my collection up a lot recently
I've been getting where it for some reason won't connect to the net when I power up even though my connection is fine for everything else it just says sign in
Id rather they get rid and lower the price even more I'm not interested in Discord after the BS they've been doing. I'm also not interested in Fortnite, EA games and Ubi games via their extra to Ultimate tier as if I wanted to I would just buy them on sale.
Perks that I won't ever claim if these things are reason why prices for GP are still a bit higher than her rid especially for premium tier. I would love a premium tier with 200 games, online. Cloud play and storage for £8.99 a month or 9.99 whichever I don't care for online crap like this
Blade dash was perfect for me everything on the right place no ads no nothing, they should bring that style back but all ads under the store section. I'm not interested in a ROG at all hell on the achievements section show your friends achievements and what they've unlocked if your follow them.
Home screen your games your playing and what your friends are doing right there and then
Xbox just needs to get back to how they was with Xbox 360 very competitive and now they own a massive IP library bring back some dead ones exclusive for Xbox and PC
My 8 year old son isn't going to like this I have to take it out of sleep mode to shut down mode so when I power it up it does the current Xbox loading sound and logo and then he shouts "There it is"
But least they are changing it up, unlike Sony who own the original PS1 2 and 3 start up sounds released it for 30 year's then took it away and never brought it back yet they OWN IT
I'm playing it right now on XSX sure it's got issues like texture loading when faster travelling to a new location or the occasional stutter as you walk around and fight but it's playable. Could it do with some more patches of course especially on PC it won't even play on a RX6600 8GB on low soon as you get out the sewers it tanks to 10fps
But I say it's good right now because I'm only level 6 and just doing arena and fighters guild at the moment and finding places on the map
I'm chuffed just got enough points for £5 gift card so bought that Battlefield Hard-line for 74p and Blue Dragon finally dropped to a lower price that it did in the New Year sale £3.74 so both cost me nothing. Also picked up Lost Planet 1 and 3 for £2.74 each as well I've been building up my digital Xbox 360 collection as of late.
Last week for Split Second for £2.39 something like that reminds me of Burnout Revenge mixed with Burnout Paradise somehow
Really enjoying my XSX right now even more so since joining GP premium playing Space Marine 2 and Oblivion remastered
Maybe one day Mercenaries 1 original Xbox will go on sale
I think they have done a 180 because the XSX/SS that are still in use and convince people to buy just to make money. But I think once Helix is out that's it XSX and SS will be slowly dropped from support and they will final then got the way wanted it to go now but knew it couldn't
Of course it's going to be the Xbox 360 it was the best gen Microsoft ever gave the world when the had people in charge who knew what the were doing and learned from original Xbox on what to do next.
Pete Moore from Sega came in and knew exactly how to change the gaming side of it all and others in his team.
Na they need to use the studios they have already and look in the portfolio of IPs they could bring back that haven't seen the light of day for a while
Should never have even forgot about it all that bragging about being the most powerful console ever doesn't do anything when it has no software to utilise it. I signed up to GP premium last week for my son but myself I've been enjoying gaming again on Xbox between the XSX and my PC lot I just wish they would do a family GP so I can put my girlfriend's laptop to play online and give her some games to play as well.
They also need to look at the portfolio they now hold and the studios they own and start given them projects for those IPs and bring back some classics as well look tomthe future
I just don't get it how with in what 6 months she's done a 180 already on a lot of stuff I generally think with all the AI ***** that's pissing a lot of people off. And now data centres aren't getting built and scepticism is brewing plus the backlash for it's own AI in windows 11 it's decided to say internally we've made a massive mistake.
I also think shareholders are not happy either with what's gone on aka negative press
Id love to know the truth with Spencer in the future like was he really held back with what Xbox was doing. Was it all on purpose for him to retire or was he forced because it's really weird how she's has come along and they are or seem to be given her a little more let room lately and it's all been very positive
