@ralphdibny It was only 5 dollars. I'm going to see if there's a way to do it through the Xbox button remapping. At least, there are other fun games in there too.

@ralphdibny Oh man, why did they map the shooting to the right stick instead of the face buttons? I can't fire a diagonal to save my life lol.

@ralphdibny Nice! Thanks. I'm on it.

I'll probably try it, but why are her legs so long? Lol

@uptownsoul It costs a $1 to try it out and discover its value. After that, if you enjoy the games, choosing to renew is an easy decision. Not to mention that it's also available for PC gamers. I also know (probably a very small minority) a few people that sign up exclusively for xcloud on their phone. They don't have a console nor a gaming capable computer.

Loved Cross Code and this trailer looks great too. Will definitely give it a try.

I think I may actually try Nexomon.

Edit: Saw it was $9, so now I've got it pre-ordered. I normally don't pre order games (especially digital) but at that price, that's worth me trying it out. I've been itching for a Pokémon experience but hate how stale Pokémon itself has become.

Remember when superhero games weren't exclusive?

Well this is sad. I guess I can just be happy with the GTA 3 re-release. Hopefully it's coming. I never did finish San Andreas.

Lots of interesting takes here. I've typically enjoyed most JRPGs and I found Tales of Vesperia to be pretty good. Haven't finished it, but I enjoyed the time I spent with it. FF7R was a superior game though in terms of both story and gameplay, but it's also a lot more modern. I also enjoyed the original FF7 (which I never even played until almost a decade after it released), but after playing FF7R, it's unlikely I'll ever play FF7 og again. Recently started FFX and it couldn't hold my attention for very long. Probably because the traditional FF formula just doesn't appeal as much to me anymore. I did really enjoy Octopath Traveler. The pacing and combat was interesting, and I'll probably pick up Bravely Default 2 at some point. Still working my way through DQ 11 and also want to start the Yakuza series at some point. Also, looking at Shin Megami Tensei V as well. We really are swamped with JRPGs these days.

As an old guy who games on a large TV ~10 ft away. I'm perfectly happy with the 1080p/60 I can get from the Series S. The only thing I don't like is that small storage size, but I got a cheap 1 TB SSD external for all the unoptimized Xbox Series games, and that works wonderfully for me.

Plus I mostly play indies and old games anyway lol.

@ralphdibny Nope, somehow I missed it. =(

Also just realized that Smash TV is exactly what I'm looking for. Never played total carnage but when I was looking through the screen shots, I saw screenshots of Total Carnage and I thought that was Smash TV.

I guess I'll wait for a sale then for the midway origins collection.

@ralphdibny I see. Thanks. I also realize that I now meant super smash tv.

@AhabSpampurse =(

Had no idea Smash TV was on 360. I've been waiting for it to pop up on something for a very long time.

@UltimateOtaku91 10% is a big number. Most developers would be very happy if 10% of gamers purchased their game.

@InterceptorAlpha I would love to replace my living room table with that, but my wife would likely replace me afterwards.

@NEStalgia Definitely looking forward to Tales as well, but disappointed they decided to drop the co-op in this one.

For me it was Diablo 2, Hot Wheels, and GTA V. I didn't pick up GTA V during the X1 gen, so I look forward to trying it on the Series X after it goes on sale for the first time. I imagine the wait won't be too long.

@everynowandben Probably better off with a Steam Deck. Laptop price is still insane for anything close to Series S performance.

@Metalder for 41 minutes, my gaming time is limited but typically still exceeds 41 minutes.

@Dezzy70 there are tons of new generation games. They just aren't that good lol

Lol. 1 week exclusive.

I plan on picking up GTA V on sale after it gets its series optimizations.

@NEStalgia Same. I had best buy unlocked for the first year the Switch was out (20% off all physical games) and that was when I bought the most amount of games. I also bought the vouchers when they released those but they only did that once. Now I wait for discounted eshop cards from Costco and combine that with the Nintendo discount of 25-33% off their older titles and that's when I'll snag them. Obviously, this only happens once or twice per year, which basically means I'm only buying 1st party games once or twice per year (with very few exceptions) instead of the 7ish that I bought in the first 9 months.

@RBRTMNZ @NEStalgia Honestly, I'd probably buy every (or almost every) 1st party Nintendo title if they launched at $40 instead of $60. Instead, I've passed up on many and mostly use my Switch for indies and a small handful of 1st party games.

@mousieone if they have a native game pass for steam or Linux, then this is a day one for me.

@TooBarFoo Lan gaming with friends. That would be the main benefit I see.

@BlueOcean does the hitman 2 that's on sale work with the hitman 3 engine?

It's funny hearing these opinions. Basically everyone thought: "My preferred company had a great performance, but the rest sucked"

Both Nintendo's and Microsoft's were really good. Not a lot of filler or talking heads but just reveals of game after game.

Nintendo's presentation was really good at targeting their audience. The Xbox presentation also targeted its audience very well (most especially game pass subscribers).

As a fan of Nintendo, and a subscriber to game pass, I came out enjoying both presentations.

Cross progression with Switch / PC hopefully.

Bought civ 6 for $15. Good idea or bad idea?

Haven't played a Battlefield game since 1942. If the multiplayer is solid, I may be that guy in Battlefield 2042 going 0-25.

And I'll probably be okay with that, as long as I can get my old friends to play as well. Hopefully, it'll be cross play since some of them have a PS5 now.

So what's the pricing for this game? Is this an annoying f2p? What do I need to spend money on?

For honor is pretty good fun. Looking forward to trying out darkest dungeon.

@magicismoney if they're an Xbox studio, then they aren't "burning" money as they're funded by game pass.

I actually sold my Xbox one s on ebay for $290 and used the money to get a series S for < $30 (after deducting eBay fees)

Is ultra street fighter 4 still active?

@3RedTriangles "Cute and cuddly"... Lara croft... Sure. I'll take it lol

I wish I could say Sonic. But at this point, Sonic is way past his prime and has been for awhile. And while I have plenty of good memories of Sonic, most of those recent memories are bad. Banjo Kazooie at least still brings me fond memories even though they are from a long time ago. If they announced a new Banjo, I'd be excited. If they announced a new Sonic, I'd be like : "here we go again"

@Grumblevolcano Or... Maybe they'll cut down on the talking and show the same amount of games.

@LtSarge

"Therefore you two are in the category of people who shouldn't be interested in the service to begin with because you don't have the time to be using it, you're just subscribed because of a supposedly limited-time deal."

No no no. I didn't sign up for game pass because it's a limited-time deal. I signed up for game pass because it is good deal for me at $75 per year.

Everyone has a price point where something is worth it to them or not... For me, $75 = worth it, $180 = not worth it. I imagine those cutoffs will vary from person to person.

With most subscription services, the value you get is entirely dependent on the time you spend on it.

MMOs may be seen as not worth it if you can generally only spend a couple hours per month on it.
Amazon Prime, not worth it, if you only buy something from it twice per year.
Netflix, may not be worth it, if you only watch one series per year.

But if I was a Netflix die hard, who spent dozens of hours per week using it, maybe I'd be okay with spending $20 per month on it.

Or on a more relatable scenario, if I liked to watch everything under the sun all the time, maybe I'd subscribe to cable TV for $100 per month.

At the end of the day, as it relates to game pass, $180 is definitely no buy for me. But $75 is a definite buy for me. I'd probably be open to some numbers in between, but I haven't put that much thought into it.

(and for the record, losing online multiplayer is a non-starter)

@themightyant @LtSarge @Carck

As someone who probably only spends 5 hours per week gaming, you can bet that I will be unsubscribing once the $15 per month becomes the only way to get it.

It is a great deal, but only if you have the time to take advantage of it.

At $75 per year, I'm down indefinitely. Once that goes up to $180, I will bow out gracefully.

I imagine many others are in the same boat. Sure most people are probably renewing monthly. But is most 90% or 60%?

@InterceptorAlpha I see. I wonder why that model is so much cheaper than every other TV with comparable specs.

@InterceptorAlpha I'm seeing < 50 inch 4k 120 hz for 999$+.

Don't understand the hate this game is getting. It was a phenomal game. The only game I purchased for my PS4 last year (though I'm still eyeing Ghosts of Tsushima, I've also got a huge gamepass backlog so...)

If this game comes to Xbox, I will absolutely double dip. And probably play it again.

Always wanted to try it. Now I can.

Good deal. Hope it comes to US, cause I'm due for an upgrade to my Galaxy S7.

My money is on the Edge browser coming to Switch and supporting xcloud through the browser.

Microsoft Edge coming to Switch. Will support xcloud in the browser.

If Time Splitters 2 contains the full split screen multiplayer experience, I will buy home front revolution right now.
