@Mephisto2869 1 persons garbage is another person's gaming gold! Although I do not play Candy Crush I do appreciate how popular the game is. This is part of the future of Xbox.
Kings games are huge on mobile. I have friends, mainly female who play thier games on daily basis. In some cases have played the same game for years and have levelled up many thousands of times. I'm pretty sure these gaming giants king and Xbox have a lot to learn from one another.
Square enix is probably an easier target than Capcom. Although I think they'll probably end up in some form or other with Sony. I'd rather they went for smaller studios like Area 35 or Prideful Sloth. These guys could bring titles more unique and exclusive to Xbox. Offering different gameplay styles not just rpg and shooter. Love Tiny Metal and Yonder. How about a music themed studio / publisher like Crypton Future Media? You know Hatsune Mika etc perhaps might help sales in Japan.
As part of my job I visit a lot of peoples homes. During my visits I always take notice of clients game collections and consoles on their shelves and tv units. I can report I have seen more Series S units than PS5 and Series X put together, at least in the UK anyway.
Can't wait for Gotham Knights! I was sooo tempted to buy this in the last sale. Held out because of average YouTube reviews. I thought it looked good. Now I can judge the game for myself. This is why game pass is good!!
OMG.!!! I just screamed out loud when I read this !! Godzilla on the original XBOX was the reason I bought the machine all those years ago. Can't wait to download this beauty.
Yes for day one delivery of my Xbox series S. It was on the Argos van. I tracked it all day through the app. They made to my town but not my address. Think they had run out of hours. I was very disappointed. They delivered the next day but I had to work. It was worth the wait though.
@Banjo- Spot on. They ,( xbox & nintendo), must be able to come up with sort of compromise or deal for the sake of the gamers. Just as they have with other titles. A remaster would be great! Must be on Xbox & Switch though, that's the deal breaker. Otherwise this game will be lost in time and generations younger than I will never know the joy of Diddy Kong Racing. OR .... You know what? Rare could could always make a Banjo Kazooie Racer.
I've been playing this for 20 hours or so. It is an ok game although it has many glitches. However I do see the huge potential for single player. This game could of been awesome but its probably too late. It doesn't need patches , it needs a complete overhaul.
The leveling up and menu system is a mess for example, they couldn't get the basics right. There are lots of good ideas in this game they need to learn from their mistakes, take the positives and move on to the next project while I wonder what could of been.
Not in any order mine are Gears Tactics 2 Crackdown 4 . A turn based Halo Wars. A surprise retro title revived such Crimson Wars or Blinx, Project Gotham Racing. Project Diva or Groove Coaster xbox edition. An arcade golf title. More 3d platforming. More exclusives from 3rd parties.
The abilty to search by dev or publisher is available on other stores. You would think that it seems like a no brainer to have this basic feature on the xbox store.
Love 2k21. Not sure about 2k23 , reviews are mixed so haven't dived in yet. Ea's game looks stunning. Just have to check out how it plays compared to 2k23. Gonna have fun either ways this weekend.
I've been gaming all my life. I'm 5something I've always bought physical up until I decided to buy series S.
I was worried at the time, however been digital all the way since then.
I missed the boxes mainly for the art work I think. On the plus side I am contributing a tiny something towards saving our planet plus saving space. I have nearly an entire storage unit full of games , dvd and video tape.
I'd really like an updated search function on xbox store. One where you can search publisher or developer. Alphabetical, date or even console version please.
This is very welcome. I think all games above £35 should have a demo or trial these days. Gaming can be expensive and I have made a few full price mistakes over my 40 + years gaming life. In this tough economic time if a publisher thinks that their game is good enough to buy they should give us all a crack at it first. Don't trust many reviews these days as I have learnt that scores are dependent on individual tastes. Well done Firaxis! I shall give this a go and it will possibly lead to purchase if I like it.

Re: Capcom Would 'Gracefully Decline' Any Acquisition Attempt From Xbox
Square enix is probably an easier target than Capcom. Although I think they'll probably end up in some form or other with Sony.

This is why game pass is good!!
Re: Talking Point: It's A Big Week For Xbox Game Pass! What Are You Most Excited For?
Left off none of the above in the vote choice.

I use it to try games out before downloading if I decide I like them.
Re: Surprise! The Kaiju Brawler GigaBash Is Out On Xbox Series X|S This Week

Re: Ubisoft Hints At One More 'Large Game' To Launch By April 2024
A Might and Magic title perhaps.
It's been a while.
Or even Chessmaster!!!!
Re: Talking Point: Have You Ever Taken A 'Day Off' For Something Xbox Related?
Yes for day one delivery of my Xbox series S.
It was on the Argos van. I tracked it all day through the app. They made to my town but not my address. Think they had run out of hours. I was very disappointed.
They delivered the next day but I had to work.

Re: GTA 5 Returns To Xbox Game Pass, Including Next-Gen Upgrade
@Tonmoy
I don't so you're wrong.
Hope I'll like it.
Re: GTA 5 Returns To Xbox Game Pass, Including Next-Gen Upgrade
I'll have a go to see why its such a popular title. I haven't played GTA since the PS1 days.
This is why I love Game Pass.
Re: As Banjo Kazooie Turns 25, Xbox Is Still Keeping Us Waiting For A Revival
@Banjo-
Spot on.
They ,( xbox & nintendo), must be able to come up with sort of compromise or deal for the sake of the gamers. Just as they have with other titles.
A remaster would be great! Must be on Xbox & Switch though, that's the deal breaker.
Otherwise this game will be lost in time and generations younger than I will never know the joy of Diddy Kong Racing.
OR ....
You know what? Rare could could always make a Banjo Kazooie Racer.
Re: As Banjo Kazooie Turns 25, Xbox Is Still Keeping Us Waiting For A Revival
If Rare don't do it then I'd like Compulsion Games to be able to have a try. Thought the humour in We Happy Few was pretty good.
Still hoping for Diddy Kong Racing to come to Xbox. Thought that might of been part of the Banjo Kazooie plus Goldeneye deal on nintendo Switch.
Re: Electronic Arts Restructures Its Studios Into Two Organisations

Re: Pick One: What Was Your Favourite Xbox Game Pass Game In May?
Redfall despite its problems.
Just started playing in the second part of the island and loving it.
Re: Report: Redfall Playtesters 'Shocked' At How Little The Game Changed During Development
I've been playing this for 20 hours or so. It is an ok game although it has many glitches. However I do see the huge potential for single player. This game could of been awesome but its probably too late. It doesn't need patches , it needs a complete overhaul.

Re: Xbox Store Gets Welcome Browser Update As Part Of Accessibility Improvements

What!??
This used to be a feature?
Now that would be very handy if it would return. Yes please.
Re: Xbox Store Gets Welcome Browser Update As Part Of Accessibility Improvements
@Kaloudz
I've been wanting this feature for ages!
The abilty to search by dev or publisher is available on other stores. You would think that it seems like a no brainer to have this basic feature on the xbox store.

If a game can run on nintendo switch then Series S shouldn't be a problem.
Re: Xbox Games With Gold Lineup For March 2023 Appears To Leak Early
This is a good month!
Thank you Xbox
Re: Redfall Physical Release Won't Contain A Disc, Download Code Included Instead
I've been gaming all my life. I'm 5something I've always bought physical up until I decided to buy series S.
I was worried at the time, however been digital all the way since then.
I missed the boxes mainly for the art work I think. On the plus side I am contributing a tiny something towards saving our planet plus saving space. I have nearly an entire storage unit full of games , dvd and video tape.
So welcome to the future, the future is now.
Re: Here's What's Included In The Xbox February 2023 Update
Also please bring Paramount+ app to Xbox .
Re: Here's What's Included In The Xbox February 2023 Update
I'd really like an updated search function on xbox store.
One where you can search publisher or developer.
Alphabetical, date or even console version please.
Re: The 'Excellent' Marvel's Midnight Suns Now Has A Free Trial On Xbox
This is very welcome. I think all games above £35 should have a demo or trial these days.
Gaming can be expensive and I have made a few full price mistakes over my 40 + years gaming life. In this tough economic time if a publisher thinks that their game is good enough to buy they should give us all a crack at it first.
Don't trust many reviews these days as I have learnt that scores are dependent on individual tastes.
Well done Firaxis! I shall give this a go and it will possibly lead to purchase if I like it.
