I welcome it but they should have also took away Fortnite, Ubi and EA subs add ons as well o really really don't give a ***** about them all. Id buy the games on sale instead for my collection
Premium would have been great it went down to £9.99 at least but I can't complain it's just right for me I've no need to go Ultimate. Hell I would like to see them take away Fortnite as well I've never wanted to play that *****, I don't really care for Ubisoft or EA games either
nice to good news come from Xbox she's really doing positive things since taken over
£450 for a series X and £350 for a Series S is what it should be but because of RAM pricing now they are cashing in. You know there is a load of current unsold systems around the world but no one will buy either, we got my son a XSX because of the disability controller they made for it and it's great.
We joined GP premium last month and I've actually been playing some games in the evening currently playing Oblivion remastered. And just got Cyberpunk 2077 for cheap from 3rd party key seller as well so that's my next game
Split/Second for £3.14 Xbox 360 I've been keeping a close eye on any 360 game I enjoyed back on the day and add them to my wishlist as I'm building up a digital 360 library. I never got to play Split/Second back in the day had a quick go last night so reminds me of Burnout Revenge
Unfortunately I didn't get some on the Xmas day sale as a lot dropped to £2.24 Lost Planet 1 and 3 I bought 2 but didn't realise it had a separate achievement list from the GFWL version. And Call of Jurez Gunslinger for like £1.24
I find it so odd I really do when Bond, Spencer and Booty were in charge it was sooooo negative and making everything an Xbox. Then 2 leave and they did a 180 and now you've got a women who's now in charge and is speaking so positive about when we've had years of negative and yes it won't be like it was for Xbox 360.
But I'd love to see them make a comeback with Xbox putting games on PS5 will always be now, but I just want them to support XSX right now even more before the next one comes out. And to see more backwards compatibility games would be a massive bonus and to lower GamePass, I've just joined Premium for the first time in 2 years
Need to remove it from GamePass I don't give 2 s about it at all the price should be lower for it and if they want to do it with GamePass make a 3rd tier
I got 4x rechargeable battery packs from Argos for like £15 they fit fine and you get 2 different covers. One with a cable port and the other with a slot at the back to place them on a charge cradle and they work fine
Playing FH4 every now and then preferred it over 5 which I re tried the other night via the cloud on my XSX even with a 1GBPs connection it still looked a bit hazy. But I prefer 4 a lot more felt 5 had a worse UI lucky I got FH4 cheap from Cdkeys or loaded as it's now called for like £12 a few years ago
Being able to delete games with 0 would be nice you could do it on Xbox 360
And to be able to delete games that are live service and are shut down or games with online achievements that servers have been also shut down and can't be completed. Not everyone has the time to go online and like myself don't go online at all anymore
When are they planning on releasing the XSX update I really wish they would let me customise the home screen and show ads for games only when I am under the MS Store icon I would love to have a nice clean home section with my lists only and wishlist
Lack of ideas to me is what is going on and why gaming is like it is, but that's probably me from nostalgia eyes growing up from the Master System through to Mega Drive and so on it just had variety but those games didn't cost millions to make. But I'm also saying game don't always need to be graphical all the time to sell
I think Xbox sales are rather crap to be honest I've seen games listed the same price for months the lowest Fable 2 and 3 were at Christmas for £2.74 in fact loads of Xbox 360 games were that price and haven't been since.
I still to this day don't get how older COD titles are £15 like COD3 I loved that game but even on sale goes to £7.50. I just got Lost Planet 2 and Price of Persia Forgotten Sands for £2.74 each I also hate it how you can search for older 360 games either
The problem with putting classics behind GamePass tier is will they do a Nintendo and stop you buying them, that's why I've been buying loads of digital 360 games that have become cheap just incase. Means I can pack away the Xbox 360 for now
PS6 and next gen Xbox will be £1000 guaranteed the normal gamer is getting priced out for their hobbies even PC gaming will suffer.
Blame the likes of Trump and he's go ahead of AI push because he wants to beat China, his tariffs if it ain't built in America, Iran war that's put up oil and gas but prices have done up on fuel that's already been paid for.
Dram/SSds risen 500% because of his Jensen and Sam Altman friends with AI push on data centres that don't even exist in places, energy prices skyrocketing because when they are turned on the energy they use is incredible
I don't think it was Sarah Bond that should be the rumour if stick that it was her plan I'm sure she liked the idea and pushed what others wanted but those who totally are blaming her are wrong.
It was all of them at MS it failed and they looked at the comments and backlash of Xbox and then decided right this hybrid needs this and that
I've been buying loads of really cheap Xbox 360 games recently, just bought Prince of Persia forgotten sands for £3 last night. I have a USB to SATA cable and a Crucial 240GB SSD drive plugged to it and I formatted it and I install my Xbox 360 games to it. Unfortunately one downside to XSX is it also installs Xbox One games to it I wish they would have them on the internal drive or it asked you before you install where you want it to go.
I have a few 360 games installed and was like 30GB left of the crucial drive and I'm like wth until I realised it installed Titanfall 2 I picked up on disc for £2 the other week
Should have Oblivion separate from remaster I played it to death in 2006 and it's DLC and I went back to it again on pc like last year. Hated K/M controls and couldn't be bothered with mods. Family member got the remaster on Steam so I tried with my Ryzen 5600, RX6600 8GB 32GB RAM it was okay inside the sewer little stuttering here and there and I was about suprised. But when I got out nah tanked to like 12fps so I didn't bother thank got I didn't pay for it
For me though Shivering Isles was it's peak base game was meh now Skyrim there's a game
Just wish they would have all the ads to games etc under the store section and not my home page I just want that clear for my groups and wishlist items
Hopefully it will work with the accessibility controller for my son who's disabled I'm hoping he can just use that to drive the train around the island and it's fantastic as it's got the original theme tune as well
@MysticWangForce Watching that as a child you didn't realise until your grew up and for it popped in my head once and I was like "Whoa that's some dark ***** that"
@Gemini53 Yes for Horizon instead after the last MotorSport was a broken mess on PC it was the last straw. And most of Turn 10 were laid off the rest went to Playground Games I believe
If windows 11 didn't have breaking updates from patch Tuesday, forced copilot and other AI crap and then still possiblity of Recall I would move but in staying on windows 10 till October and while I am learning more about Linux
