@M20B25 Sega didn't make that much money with these great games back then! Because most people ignored their games. Even on systems like Xbox, their games didn't sell well. So who can blame them, that they changed their focus?
I also think that Phil did a lot of good things for the Xbox community and made good decisions. It's such a shame, that Xbox is in that nadella position right now.
I'd rather have Xbox console exclusive games again instead of 1000 play anywhere games... Like Nintendo does and Microsoft once also did. Long ago before people payed for a cheap 800 games subscription, so they can say: "Oh, another AAA game 5 years in development.... Next.
I'm still a physical games buyer, so it's not important to me. Actually I'm pretty screwed if the next Xbox has no disc opportunity. Besides that, I'm not really a PC gamer.
Donkey Kong Bananza, what a crap game. I don't get it, why so many people love this game. 🙄 I'm still on the fence with South of Midnight and it's on sale right now. But I'm so full with games, it has to wait yet another time.
@Kezelpaso yeah it's a shame. It was the same with MW3 and Warzone maps in the campaign and they did the same with Black Ops 7. There were clearly several Multiplayer maps from Black Ops 6 and other games reused as campaign levels.
Can confirm this. I already played 7 from the 11 chapters with a friend and this campaign is really bad. The graphics are the best about it and some surprising boss fights. Story is ***** and it feels so stupid. What where they doing??? The even recycled some Multiplayer maps into the campaign.
@Questionable_Duck should be normal difficulty. I think the controls are tight and still feels good to play. But these flying enemies can be a pain. I also tried a challenge which was insane, so I gave up. I think it's pretty hard. But I also have the feeling, the game gives more healing items than NG1 and 2.
I didn't vote, because I bought the game. I only played the first 2 chapters so far, because I have huge issues with gaming free time. I liked it so far, but also was a bit shocked how hard it is. I'm used to Ninja Gaiden, but I felt this reached a new level.
Never played any of these so far. I guess this one would be a good start. But to be honest, in this time of the year, this won't get a chance. Maybe next year.
Ok. Can we keep in mind, that every game released this year from Xbox Game Studios was a hit! Blue boys can be lucky for now, that they got most of these games.
Sounds good overall. But I will wait a bit, too busy with other games right now. And Ninja Gaiden 4 arrives next week. But Keeper is on my Xbox Store list.
BTW, I started Redfall yesterday with a friend. This game is way better than I thought. More people should try it in its final state.

Re: MindsEye's 'Most Significant' Update Has Just Arrived On Xbox, Here Are The Patch Notes
@Fiendish-Beaver that's a crazy number of games. And you can't even sell them, because they are digital.🙈
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 24-25)
@Duck_Farmer yeah, besides the pretty good 4K Blu-ray player, a few games like Astro Bot are the reason I'm keeping my PS5.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 24-25)
My current Xbox game is actually Resident Evil Village, not because of Game Pass, I just was in the mood for this before Requiem arrives.

@XinnieThePooh don't regret, your Series X is awesome.
Re: Xbox Exec Explains Why Some Games Are 'Day One' For PS5, And Others Aren't
My thoughts are simple, Forza or Fable shouldn't be available on PS5 at all.
But yeah, we know, Nadella is squeezing team Xbox.

Re: Hi-Fi RUSH Physical Editions Will Be Available To Pre-Order For Xbox Later This Month
@Sindayl better than no Disc! I own several games from LRG and payed OK prices for them.
Re: Hi-Fi RUSH Physical Editions Will Be Available To Pre-Order For Xbox Later This Month
I already thought, they canceled this. I'm really happy it's finally coming.

Happy new year. I'm looking forward for another great year with Xbox Series X. 💪🏼 best console out there.

Re: Star Wars Galactic Racer Brings Its 'High-Stakes Reinvention Of Racing' To Xbox In 2026
@Elbow Episode 1 racer wasn't available on PS1. It was exclusive to N64 and later Dreamcast.
Re: Star Wars Galactic Racer Brings Its 'High-Stakes Reinvention Of Racing' To Xbox In 2026
What a soul less trailer. Who's that annoying narrator, who talks the whole time, supposed to be?
Re: Here's Everything That Was Revealed At The Game Awards 2025 (For Xbox)
South of Midnight, another Xbox exclusive not exclusive anymore.
Re: Two Major AAA Games Have Just Been Added To Xbox Play Anywhere
@WildConcept6 this is your opinion and have mine.
Re: Two Major AAA Games Have Just Been Added To Xbox Play Anywhere

Re: Poll: What Are Your First Impressions Of Routine On Xbox Game Pass?
I'm not using Game Pass "Ultimate" and I don't want it. Why is it always just called Game Pass in these news? There are 3 subscriptions.
Re: Review: SCUF Valor Pro Wireless - My New Favourite Xbox Series X|S Controller
I still don't know what's the big difference between hall effect and tmr sticks.
Re: Poll: Which Is Your Favourite Xbox 360 Launch Title?
Definitely Kameo Elements of Power. This game was like magic and also the best Rare game in their final years.
Re: Poll: How Important Is The Xbox Play Anywhere Program To You?
I'm still a physical games buyer, so it's not important to me. Actually I'm pretty screwed if the next Xbox has no disc opportunity.

@DJKingaling yeah, the price is really ok.
Re: Silent Hill 2 Remake Is Rolling Out Now On Xbox, And It's Discounted By 50% At Launch
I'm curious if this will get a disc release on XBox as well.
But an awesome game and still better than Silent Hill f.

Re: Black Ops 7 Campaign Review (Xbox): Black Ops Pedigree Can't Save This Mess Of A COD Campaign
@Kezelpaso yeah it's a shame. It was the same with MW3 and Warzone maps in the campaign and they did the same with Black Ops 7. There were clearly several Multiplayer maps from Black Ops 6 and other games reused as campaign levels.
Re: Black Ops 7's Messy Campaign Is Being Detached From 'Endgame' Mode This Week
Benefits for people who actually completed this campaign, like me. 😁
But I wouldn't say that endgame is that exciting.
Re: Talking Point: Xbox Is 24 Years Old Today, What Do You Expect From Next Year's 25th Birthday?
Hopefully a better Call of Duty game with no braindead campaign Multiplayer map recycling.
Re: Black Ops 7 Campaign Review (Xbox): Black Ops Pedigree Can't Save This Mess Of A COD Campaign

Re: Valve Announces New Hardware, Including A Steam Machine That'll Compete With Xbox
Like a half Series X, with no disc drive. Which could be the future of Xbox as well.
Looks pretty solid, but I'll stick to Xbox.
Re: Poll: Now That The Dust Has Settled, Which Xbox Game Pass Tier Are You Subscribed To?
Essential. But that's already a year.

Acceptable place, not a fantastic place.
Re: Syberia Remastered Is Out Today On Xbox, And Here's What The Reviews Are Saying
Never played any of these so far. I guess this one would be a good start.
But to be honest, in this time of the year, this won't get a chance. Maybe next year.
Re: Terminator 2D: No Fate Receives Another Last-Minute Delay, Out On Xbox In Mid-December
@Kaloudz Series S should handle this game😜
Re: Terminator 2D: No Fate Receives Another Last-Minute Delay, Out On Xbox In Mid-December
I'm fine with that. Maybe they should delay it to January. It could sink under between these many releases.
Re: Xbox 360 Classic 'Condemned' Has Quietly Been Delisted, And Nobody Knows Why

Re: Poll: Which Was Your Favourite Xbox Game Pass Title From October 2025?

Re: Huge Xbox Report Details 'Ambitious' Next-Gen Console With Free Online Play
@ILuvGames I kinda suck in the Multiplayer, but the campaign was great, at times pretty tough, but great.

@SodaPop6548 Halo Infinite is a great game.
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Reviews Are Saying About Xbox's The Outer Worlds 2

Re: Ninja Gaiden & Dead Or Alive Director Tomonobu Itagaki Has Passed Away
Holy.... What a sad Ironie, shortly before Ninja Gaiden 4 releases.
Even if he was a bit special and weird, his work was awesome. He's XBox history.
