It sucks that the physical version is PS5 only. Ninja Gaiden is XBox!
So I won't buy it for now and wait for a bigger price drop digital.

Phil Spencer when entering The Coalition studios:
"hey you lazy developers, keep the release window in mind and make that game bug free! You know, the fools out there have to keep paying for Game Pass Ultimate.
And if you don't deliver, you have to make a PS5 version after release and this studio is shut down and you all lose your job!!!
So keep working! "

@Lrapsody No, Baird is gay and is outing himself to be in a marriage with Cole in this game. And there are girl brutes inside the enemies so there's equality. 😂

Jokes aside and I hope so too.

Nothing lasts forever.. Dim dim dim...

I guess besides Tales of Arise, there's nothing to really miss.

My old subscription was over. I made a new one with Game Pass Core.
It's just not worth it for me anymore, making Ultimate out of it, costs me 6 months.
And it's not possible to use everything out of it, so I bought Sniper Elite on disc.

I didn't play it and I don't have plans to change that.

@GuyinPA75 yeah, Game Pass isn't a good thing.

@gollumb82 you're right with this. And so, it's not bad, that it reached 4 million players.
But it doesn't change the fact, that it was only downloaded with Game Pass on most systems.
And if that's a success for the studio and years of development, is another question.

It's on Game Pass.....
So what's so great about 4 Mio players?
I guess maybe 200.000 players bought the disc version and the rest installed it through Game Pass.

Far Cry New Dawn???
Does this get a native Series X version?

Me and my wife can't wait.
And gladly, a game which is not released on Game Pass day 1, it's coming on disc and it will still sell great, I guess.

Thank you for the review.
I ordered it now, sounds pretty good and I have a sweet spot for this series.

These trigger news all the time..
With evolving, he means destroying.

I like how the picture of this article shows Phil looking like a pure jerk.
It really fits to this statement as punch in the face to every real XBox fan.

Yeah yeah, a dark future that is.
Just preventing from low sales in cost of own games and ***** on old fans.

Well, not good!
Everything comes to PC and PS5.
Why should anyone care about XBox anymore, when Microsoft throws away everything? I even saw that Ninja Gaiden Black 2 gets a disc version on PS5 and it seems only on PS5.
XBOX is lost, the only benefit on that platform is: "Day1 on Game Pass"

@Kloppo guess what, Dragon Age is in a great state and has no bugs, it runs like a dream on Series X.
But when I see how many likes you got, it makes no sense going on here.

It's a shame. Dragon Age Veilguard is such a great game and deserves way better.
Also Dead Space didn't sell that good.
These are rough times and I'm 100% sure the reasons are these restrictions.
People are way too stingy these days with games.

@Beetlebum91 yes, Crash 4 is insane. I lost interest at some point, it was just too much.

Crash Bandicoot 4 is so old now. Even the Series X/ PS5 Version is out a while.
I guess it's cheaper buying just Crash 4 instead of paying for a month of Game Pass.

I would be more happy, if the 2GB SSDs would be cheaper.
Even with an additional XBox 1TB SSD, I still struggle with space for Series X games.

The controllers on XBox are what the exclusive AAA games are on PlayStation. At least XBox has a lot of controller editions😅

I don't know. But a new Ninja Gaiden game for XBox would be incredible.
And best as an exclusive XBox game with no Game Pass launch.

Having a WD 1TB expansion for a longer time now.
Also having a 2TB Hdd external for older games.
The internal 800GB from the Series X are way too small.
I'm having games like Gears 5, Halo MCC and Halo 6 always installed. Games are too big these days.

It's also said, that studios are more and more turning their back to Game Pass, because it's not worth it and they want to sell their games traditionally.
And i absolutely can see why.

No problems in Germany. Both models available at Amazon.

You should post that interview here about the Gamepass, where it's said, that the sales of premium games are held back up to 80%.

@OLD64FOREVER yes it is. It's crazy, but playing those games after such a long time makes me feel, why so many people are saying, that games aren't as good anymore as they where back then.
A lot of PS2 games still hold up well. I'm playing GTA 3, which was my first PS2 game in 2001 and I'm surprised how much fun it is today.
Developers like Capcom, Namco or Sega where so creative in that time, they just made games without play times around 60+++ hours.
And that's what I don't like about modern games, when you put aside these 4K ray traced visuals, what stays isn't better in many cases compared to 2001, it's often weaker.
In many modern games, I have the feeling, beating those games I like work, not like fun.
Games nowadays are offering 100 side missions with boring backgrounds, collectibles, cosmetics, skill trees, crafting. A lot of things distracting from the actual gameplay which should be just fun.

I'm into Life is Strange Double Exposure, but I didn't get it for Christmas, it's just one of the many games I try to beat from my collection.
Also playing a lot of PS2 games right now.

Gears 5, Robocop, Scarlet Nexus.

Wtf? WWE 2K23 already? I own this game and didn't buy the new one because one of these games in years is enough for me.
Did they lose their mind putting this off already? 😠

@16BitHero I guess you're right.

Why did so few chose Tekken 8? It's like the best fighting game so far in every aspect.

A lot of games are missing in this list.

@__jamiie because it is a subscription, nothing more.
And it's a lot of people, who aren't willing to buy games anymore, they think the games are for free with Game Pass.

Surprise, I already bought it 5 years ago and still have it physical in my PS4 collection.
Bought it in black week back then at Gamestop together with a 2nd controller.

Will it have a lot of bugs on day 1?
Yes, of course. (I was looking into the future ball) 😂

But hey, at least this game still arrives on disc. How nice from Microsoft, since they are more interested in streaming and digital subscriptions.

Absolutely right and it's a middle finger from Microsoft with this Code in a Box *****.

Better this than Halo or Gears.
I deinstalled Forza Horizon 5 after 2 hours playtime.

I'm pretty often low in time for gaming. And often, I'm playing nothing, when the time so low. When I know I have like 30 minutes, why should I even start my XBox?

@RadioHedgeFund you're absolutely right. No matter how good I edit my XOne avatar, it looks weird. I'm a not a skinny guy and I'm wider around shoulders and chest. But when I do that to the avatar, he has fat legs. 😅 Also those face expressions don't look good.

Ok. It's actually not that surprising, since those Avatars have no use anymore. I recently made my Avatar look a bit better, so it was no use.
It's kinda sad, that XBox is losing more and more individuality.
I remember a time on XBox 360, where they really started a family campaign, party games and those 360 avatars, which could be used in several games.
Nothing of that is anymore, it's just "this Gamepass" console today.

@jesse_dylan I would say, just buy Spirit of the North for this ridiculous low price. It's great.

@Elbow I have Blinx, it's also backwards compatible on Series X. It's not bad, but not superb.

Yeah yeah, Microsoft is destroying their image, that's what XBox is.
