@ZYDIO lol I am using an Arctic. I don't know which one. It's 1 or 3. The wireless cyberpunk one. I agree it's personal preference. I don't use movie settings for any reason other than it sounds best to me. The GAME setting is so much quieter

@AccessibleDaydream Sounds same to me just louder. But I'm no audiophile.

@Fiendish-Beaver I have the Dolby Atmos app. Its great. Recommend MOVIE setting. GAME is too quiet.

Just campaign for me. I find the MP pointless. Randoms shoved together for shooty-shooty. (With most hiding in corners like rats)

Only ones not excited are ign. 😁

I'll try Sifu. I did inscryption on ps. Good game.

Interesting. Shooting for a 360 type launch. Early & powerful. Hey, worked once before. Doubt very much that Sony would allow them a full year headstart this time though.

Makes sense. War for Cybertron games need to be remastered asap imo.

One of my favourite series.

These days I love nothing more than visiting the Xbox store page, seeing an old game on sale and buying it, knowing it has all the dlc and is essentially now a fully working game.
Day one games thesedays are a Jo,e. Most arrive in a shocking state. Avowed will totally get a 60 fps update down the road. Until then, I guess I'll play it on my rog ally with setting low for 60.

Anybody who thinks that Sony won "the console war" by defeating Microsoft is deluding themselves. Microsoft have defeated themselves. They have constantly, and consistently been a overwhelming match for their own endeavours. They only have themselves to blame.

I mean, it's awful but I kinda want ms to be making whatever they can from Xbox right now.

So the best bit of the movie is the actual geriatric they cast as their female lead? Got it.

Cool. I'm gonna definitely (well, reviews withstanding) pick this up in the spring, when the games complete. 👍

@BRT15 Personally, I don't think they do that until after Black ops 6. They want people playing that at launch, not older titles in the series. I think modern warfare iii was a concession to the loudest protests of those who are sick of waiting.

Playstation is THE cool brand. Microsoft don't have the stomach for the kinda fight needed to shift that opinion.
Sony win, I guess. But I wonder if ponies truly know what they've won. No competition isn't a good thing. Get ready for high priced games, expensive memberships and hardware prices to make your eyes water. And your only choice is like or don't.

@OldGamer999 There are those out there that doubt this but it's gonna 100% happen. PS5 pro enhancement will be mandatory for all PS5 games realising post pro.

I really like the game.

@K1LLEGAL Agreed. The handhelds are nice but not the xbox portable experience touted. Not 100% anyway.

Can't get it (campaign) running for more than 5 minutes without crashing my ROG Ally tbh.
I've just ordered a new Series X. Thought I'd never go back at first but my handheld phase has not entirely been all that successful tbf.
Nice when it works. Doesn't always work.
I'll hop back onto mw3 when my sx arrives on Wednesday. Ponied up for a monitor too.

If your face isn't on a dartboard in the office of some marketing office, you aren't a real leaker. Seriously, they must be proper hated.

Interesting that Layden immediately jumped to the conclusion that it was Sony Phil was referring to, not Nintendo for example.

Guilty much?

In or out? Halfway is just going to confuse the public and annoy the fans.

Being a greedy gamer, there's a lot I want. But I will settle for xbox making my digital library available to me in the cloud.

Spotlight on Baron Greenback (Aaron Greenberg) now. For this to work, marketing must be at a high level. It must reach the ears of all the mainstream. Do that and number WILL rocket because you would need to be an idiot to not sign up (if you're on xbox or pc).

Not really the duty/fault of Ninja Theory, but Xbox needed more right now than this. A lot now rides on Call of duty for them.

It would be SO XBOX if Call of duty was somehow now surplanted as the number 1 shooter by xdefiant. 😬
Edit: and on topic, I was looking forward to Heartland. Damn you, Unisoft.

@Cherip-the-Ripper Yeah, I go further and make this series a continuation of that movie. But they won't. They'll want to reboot it all - again. 🙄

Uh oh.... here comes Matt Booby!

I would absolutely love the next Xbox to be portable.

Yeah, fair play Xbox, I'll be checking both out on PC.

@Gabrielmpf I don't believe anybody is asking Xbox to rush the next game. More like, they should rush/pay to figure out the logistics sooner. Does another studio need to step in? Does BGS need a whole new team? Heck, could they use a whole new spin off studio, a'la Arkane Lyon/Austin?
Nobody wants a bad game, but we shouldn't need to wait a decade either.

@BAMozzy That's future thinking. Most gamers, and I say this as a 40 something, are stuck in the past. Microsoft know they lost the console war boll**ks but can see a way to navigate around that to a place where games are sold to actual people rather than to console fan boys. There are a couple of hundred million of us console owners out there, but 9 billion potential customers out in the wider world.
Would the Microsoft vision of time when every gamer has access to any game on whatever device be so bad?
Let em try, I say.

Inexile & Obsidian should be working on Fallout spin offs right now.
Long term, Microsoft should triple down on BGS. Three studios under 1 BGS banner, each one responsible for either Fallout, ES or Starfield. They have the money to make that sensible investment.

All three, please and thank you Xbox.

Yeah, can't actually see the headset itself because of the ad banner.

@NEStalgia I think honestly that we're seeing a resurgence of the JRPG. More and more are tiring of the AAA blockbuster with each and every lackluster/broken new release.

@Gonzo_Me Call the Midwife? Thats hardcore. 💪

@Retrokingdan Robocop: Jank city. Not a bad game though overall.

@InvaderFromSpace How are you finding Kingdom & Eiyuden? Im interested in those two as well.

@Ryne-Gaia I never give up trying to love AEW, but everything WWE is better. Wrsstlers, production, writing etc etc.
Shame because they (wwe) do better with competition. Attitude era was 🔥🔥🔥 because wcw had them beat for a while.

The list grows week by week tbh. But cutting to my current mains - stanley parable, Baldurs gate 3 (now getting 70fps on max setting rog ally. Thank you amd afmf). S of T raider def ed, Dredge, Diablo iv, Unocorn Overlord & (yeah they got me) Fallout 3.

@Retron That is the common consensus, I know, but I find it slots into the trilogy fine. Considering it's an entirely different dv, at least. I think they did a great job.

What a load of old carp!
And to know theyre just sitting on Activisions entire back catalogue still.
I wonder if Microsoft are cooling fast on Gamepass. For £15.99 a month I want more than this, tbh.
Then there is the recent reward program nerf. I sold my Series X when they made it clear games were going to rival platforms. They still have my sub for PC ultimate, just. Im considering leaving though, and Ive been into the subscription since day 1.

Ive been a fan of Phil Spencer, but nice guys finish last. Xbox is sliding hard. Microsoft need to hit the emergency brake hard imo. Drastic upheavals needed in Redmond imo.

@ShadowofTwilight I'd argue it doesn't matter how minor it is. Their (xbox) game looks better on the competitions device. It beggers belief. What even goes on at Redmond these day's?
I personally don't care for him as a platform head, but if Jim Ryan ran Xbox with the same budget available to Spencer, then Xbox would be dominating gaming right. Not saying that would look good - I like Spencers feel good policies - but it's fact.

@Lup You wanna get a reputable company in to remove that mate. It can be a killer if you've got that stuff in your shed roof.

I worry for gaming, if this is what the kids want today.

Industry crash happening before our very eyes. At least we have indies.

If you believe this was "just a bug" then I have a pyramid scheme I'd like you to invest in.
Xbox is run by money men. Clueless money men.

So this wasn't the xbox apocalypse at all?
Beggers belief they allowed the social media meltdown to last as long as it did though. Who knows how many consoles were sold/traded needlessly in the past few weeks while Xbox just sat on their hands?
