I took Gears 5. I completed this game last year for the first time and in the end, I was really surprised in how great it was. I didn't believe it, but in terms of graphics, presentation, atmosphere and gameplay variety, I think this was the best of the Gears games. After 5 comes 2 for me and than 1.
I have the disc version of the Ultimate Edition. If I don't get the upgrade free, I won't buy it. I still can't believe, that Microsoft is really giving this to PlayStation, it feels so wrong. The only benefit is, that Crossplay is a thing now. And of course, on Playstation front, they will earn money with this release. Sony should give XBox audience The Last of Us as a sign of thank.
@Matthewnh yeah the driving at the beginning also reminded me of Watch Dogs 1. Besides that, I don't think that Watch Dogs was style over substance. I don't know what some people were expecting, but I absolutely love this game until this day. All 3 Watch Dogs games are worth playing, but 1 is my all time classic.
Well, I still think the Series X is the best console right now and it's actually worth its price. But for someone, who would start now after over 4 years, it's pretty crazy. The next XBox could arrive in 2027.
Also about 70% of players didn't complete the first chapter of Indiana Jones. I think, if you're actually buying a game, there's more attraction to play it. In case of Game Pass Ultimate, I guess most people don't know what to play anymore because of the ridiculous amount of games.
That's also a reason, I stopped GP Ultimate. I don't have the time for all of this. It took me like a month to complete Indiana Jones. Now I'm waiting for Doom The Dark Ages and I can't decide what to play in the waiting time. I have way more games than I get to play.
@Krzzystuff PowerA has made wireless Xbox controllers in the meantime with Hall Effect sticks. I recommend those. They use a USB dongle for wireless play
What a horrible evolution. Maybe it's also due to the delivery problems with the Series X over some weeks. At least in Germany, it's fixed in the meantime. But there's no denying that digital has the bigger part of sales today. I still know why I'm buying games physical, but also, physical means full shelves in the living room, so I started buying "some" games digital.
@Fiddleroyolanda and you're perfectly showing, that you are a PS5 fanboy. Which means, you're judging me for something, you're doing yourself. I hope you're getting banned soon here.
@Fiddleroyolanda I'm am Xbox fan on an Xbox site. I just want Xbox to be as successful as it deserves to be again. And I'm getting insulted for that as a "loser" from ??? Who are.... I won't get on your low level of behavior, I reported you.
I don't get it. What's so special about that? As far as I know, streaming is already available trough XBox Game Pass Ultimate. Or is it about games, which are not inside the Game Pass library? I would enjoy a better option to stream my disc games to my tablet.
@Millionski oh yes, I'm very interested. The thing is, I can't get rid of that: I want to own these games. So games, I really want, I buy these. It makes me happier than just paying for a subscription. It feels like endless paying. For the wallet, I guess it's smarter just using Game Pass Ultimate. And with my physical collection, I'm so busy that i realized, it's not worth it for me. For some indie games, I say Game Pass is great. For example: Unpacking I had a great time, great game. It was short, it was fun. I don't need to own this. But games like Atelier Yumia, Doom The Dark Ages, Indiana Jones, I just need to buy these.
@Millionski I have an opinion about subscriptions. Not that I'm totally against everything. I think for some people, Game Pass Ultimate is a good deal. And of course stacking is still possible. For me personally, Ultimate just isn't worth it anymore.
I ordered mine already. The standard Series Wireless one, shut up and take my money. But they can keep that Elite model, never again will i buy that crap thing.
I have no special game in mind. I would absolutely party a new wave of backwards compatible games, some missing ones from OG XBox or some more from 360. Beyond that, I wish that more people start realizing how great XBox Series X is.
I playing this right now, I'm in the Himalaya chapter. So I played this way more than 70% of XBox gamers who didn't even complete the first chapter. 😁 I like it, even if it has some flaws.
That's not easy to say. All I know is, that I have a blast of a time with my Series X and way to many games, which i enjoy and don't have enough time for all of them.
@DalamarX I didn't say, I don't want a Switch 2. I'm just realistic. I don't care about the 3rd party games on Switch 2, because I have a Series X. But I want to play Mario Kart and Donkey Kong. But I won't buy a Switch 2 day 1.

Re: Poll: Which Is Your Favourite Gears Of War Game On Xbox?
@jikflet really? That were 2 chapters with the bigger world. I actually liked them as a mix of gameplay. It played fast and didn't take too much time.
Re: Poll: Which Is Your Favourite Gears Of War Game On Xbox?
I took Gears 5.
I completed this game last year for the first time and in the end, I was really surprised in how great it was. I didn't believe it, but in terms of graphics, presentation, atmosphere and gameplay variety, I think this was the best of the Gears games.
After 5 comes 2 for me and than 1.
...Some actually chose Judgment. 😁

@GuyinPA75 my talking, pal.
Re: Review: DOOM: The Dark Ages (Xbox) - Puts The Finishing Touches On A Masterful Trilogy
Sounds amazing. I'll be happy to add this to my library in a few days.
Re: Xbox Developer Shares Insight Into Why Physical Releases Are 'Complex'
Interesting. So physical releases should go through the ceiling on XBox Series X.
Re: Reaction: Gears Of War: Reloaded Makes Perfect Sense For Microsoft, But Not For Xbox Fans
I have the disc version of the Ultimate Edition. If I don't get the upgrade free, I won't buy it.

Re: Gears Of War: Reloaded Is Getting The Free Upgrade Treatment On Xbox
@ElkinFencer10 that's the modern Microsoft. Hello to PlayStation and middlefinger for their true fans using discs.
Re: Gears Of War: Reloaded Is Getting The Free Upgrade Treatment On Xbox
So what about disc users???
Re: Forza Motorsport 20th Anniversary Update Now Live, Includes Free New Track
No I won't install that ssd killer anymore.
Re: Xbox Announces Gears Of War: Reloaded, Releasing Summer 2025
Gears on Playstation, this is too much for my heart. My mood is ruined today. This can't be true.
Re: New MindsEye Gameplay Looks Very Grand Theft Auto, Could Replace GTA 6 In 2025
@TheSimulator 2025 is totally fine. Games like this are rare these days and it looks very good.
Re: New MindsEye Gameplay Looks Very Grand Theft Auto, Could Replace GTA 6 In 2025

Re: New MindsEye Gameplay Looks Very Grand Theft Auto, Could Replace GTA 6 In 2025
I don't see Grand theft Auto here. It looks like a story driven, straight forward action game with gunplay and driving and I absolutely want it.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Still Buy An Xbox At Microsoft's 2025 Prices?
Well, I still think the Series X is the best console right now and it's actually worth its price.
But for someone, who would start now after over 4 years, it's pretty crazy. The next XBox could arrive in 2027.
Re: Xbox #1 Platform For Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, But Worst For Average Playtime
Also about 70% of players didn't complete the first chapter of Indiana Jones.
I think, if you're actually buying a game, there's more attraction to play it.
In case of Game Pass Ultimate, I guess most people don't know what to play anymore because of the ridiculous amount of games.
Re: Xbox Is Raising The Price Of Consoles, Games And Accessories
This is really heavy. No generation like this before. Even though I would say, the Series X with disc drive is the worth that price.
Re: Talking Point: Xbox Fans, How Do You Find Time For All These Amazing 2025 Games?
That's also a reason, I stopped GP Ultimate. I don't have the time for all of this. It took me like a month to complete Indiana Jones. Now I'm waiting for Doom The Dark Ages and I can't decide what to play in the waiting time. I have way more games than I get to play.
Re: Gearbox Announces New, Earlier Release Date For Borderlands 4 On Xbox
@Tasuki thank you for the detailed informations. 🙂
Re: Gearbox Announces New, Earlier Release Date For Borderlands 4 On Xbox
@Ricky-Spanish there even was a pre sequel?
Re: Gearbox Announces New, Earlier Release Date For Borderlands 4 On Xbox
@Tasuki thanks for the advice, mate. I'll keep that in mind.
Was asking myself one day, if Tiny Tinas Wonderland might be good.
Re: Gearbox Announces New, Earlier Release Date For Borderlands 4 On Xbox
Never played any of the games so far. But I really enjoyed that movie. Maybe I'll give Borderlands 4 a try.
Re: Digital Foundry Impressed With Oblivion Remastered, But Xbox Series S 'Takes A Hit'
No wonder. Series S is a cheap hardware, so it's cheap graphics. Very amusing that people defend that little white box.
Re: Rumour: Xbox Working On Three Controller Prototypes, Including The Elite Series 3
@TrevorP86 they are not elite. I also got one of them a was very disappointed.
Re: Rumour: Xbox Working On Three Controller Prototypes, Including The Elite Series 3
@Krzzystuff PowerA has made wireless Xbox controllers in the meantime with Hall Effect sticks. I recommend those. They use a USB dongle for wireless play
Re: Digital-Only Xbox Series X|S Consoles Have Accounted For 75% Of Sales So Far In 2025
What a horrible evolution.
Maybe it's also due to the delivery problems with the Series X over some weeks. At least in Germany, it's fixed in the meantime.
But there's no denying that digital has the bigger part of sales today.

So I'll add this to my collection this year.
Re: Review: Ninja Gaiden 2 Black (Xbox) - A UE5 Appetiser Ahead Of The Fourth Outing
@Romans12 I bought it in spring sale. I rather have it digital on XBox than on PS5.
This remaster is awesome so far.

Re: Xbox Is Already Achieving Massive Success With Oblivion Remastered
@FraserG yeah, I know what you mean. You're right about that.
Re: Xbox Is Already Achieving Massive Success With Oblivion Remastered
Annoying, that PS5 is again immediately supported. XBox should have its absolute domination right now... 😒
Re: Opinion: South Of Midnight Dev Could Become An Xbox Game Studios Gem
Bring a disc version and I'm in. Same goes to Hi-Fi Rush.
Re: One Of The Best COD Campaigns In Recent Memory Comes To Xbox Game Pass Next Month
Definitely, from the modern MW series, this had the absolutely best campaign.
Re: PSA: DOOM: The Dark Ages Has An Early Access Upgrade For Xbox Game Pass Players
@Vectrex right, same here. I don't see why I should pay early for this. And I can wait these early 2 or 3 days.

Re: Metro 2033 Redux Team Vows To Fix Issues With Free Xbox Giveaway
I'm looking forward to it. Never played any of the 3 so far. This could be an opportunity, that I finally dive in.
Re: Microsoft Announces 25+ Titles For The Xbox 'Stream Your Own Game' Service

As far as I know, streaming is already available trough XBox Game Pass Ultimate.

Re: Metro 2033 Redux Gets 100% Discount On Xbox To Celebrate Anniversary
@FraserG thank you, great to hear. 👍🏼
Re: Phil Spencer Discusses Why Xbox Game Pass Isn't For Everyone These Days
I play way more than 1 or 2 games a year and still, Gamepass "Ultimate" isn't for me.
Re: Xbox Set To Reveal DOOM: The Dark Ages Limited Edition Controller
OMG, I'm interested.
Re: Metro 2033 Redux Gets 100% Discount On Xbox To Celebrate Anniversary
Still not working.
Re: Indiana Jones PS5 Fans Not Happy With Xbox's Physical Media Habits
PS5 gamers can be grateful, that they get to play this game!
Re: Talking Point: What Dream Reveal Would You Like To See At The Xbox Games Showcase 2025?
I have no special game in mind.
I would absolutely party a new wave of backwards compatible games, some missing ones from OG XBox or some more from 360.
Beyond that, I wish that more people start realizing how great XBox Series X is.
Re: Indiana Jones And The Great Circle 'Update 4' Now Live On Xbox

I like it, even if it has some flaws.
Re: Opinion: South Of Midnight Reminds Me Why I Love Xbox Game Pass
Since I don't use Ultimate anymore, I will wait for a price drop. But I'm really looking forward to it.
Re: Talking Point: What's The Best Game You've Played In 2025 So Far?
That's not easy to say. All I know is, that I have a blast of a time with my Series X and way to many games, which i enjoy and don't have enough time for all of them.
Re: Switch 2 Fares Well Against Xbox Series S In Street Fighter 6 Comparison
@DalamarX I didn't say, I don't want a Switch 2. I'm just realistic.
I don't care about the 3rd party games on Switch 2, because I have a Series X.
But I want to play Mario Kart and Donkey Kong.
But I won't buy a Switch 2 day 1.
