My dream is that Microsoft comes out with a pink Series S. I know that it will never happen, so realistically, I'm expecting some news on Halo Infinite and a TON of indies.
I think that they are pretty good consoles, and you can see how much Microsoft has improved since the XBox One launch. However, there aren't really enough games that I can't just play on my XBox One to justify the time and effort it takes to secure one, at least for me. The SSD is a reason to upgrade in itself, though.
Finally! It was kind of stupid to have to still pay to be able to play free games with other people. Nintendo's online offering is atrocious, and even they didn't require this. Glad that this isn't the case anymore.
Oh, no! Can't let the kiddos learn about gambling. That would corrupt their innocent minds! But seriously, I'm very excited about this game. I'm glad that I waited instead of buying this on Switch.
I would say that maybe once the Series X/S consoles aren't impossible to find, then you're better off getting those. For now, I would just say to get an XBox One. You can find them for pretty cheap, and it has a great library while you wait for the scalpers to calm down and stop ruining everything.
@NEStalgia Well, I wouldn't say that. The Switch is still in the home console market. It's just that it is also a handheld at the same time. Though, if you mean a dedicated home console, then I can't really argue with you there.
Um.... even though Fortnite is a game about guns, I don't really think a character from Family Guy will make it in because Epic Games needs to maintain that T for Teen rating. (12+ PEGI)
Summer seems a tad bit late, but I'm still excited. And to the people who are going to spam "DEAD GAME", just because a game isn't talked about as much doesn't mean that it is dead. Fall Guys is still wildly popular, and you can get into a full match in less than 30 seconds.
Looks like a fun game. I checked other review websites, and NintendoLife gave this an 8, too. PushSquare gave it a 6, though. Feel like it doesn't deserve THAT rating.
I didn't think that either company would have great sales to start off, because of the pandemic, stock shortages, and scalpers being the scum of the earth that they are. I'm glad to see that not only was I wrong, but the majority of sales have been made to actual fans, not scalpers.
Probably not as hardcore as the early 90s. I mean, dang. I'm surprised neither company hired hitmen to kill the other's president, they hated each other so much.
@FredBiletnikoff Yeah, you're right. It can't be any worse than in August, right? When I boot up SSBU, the online doesn't crash like 70% of the time, so at least there's that.
Looks cool. It's a shame that you probably wouldn't be able to build a quarter of it without maxing out the ridiculously limiting Oswals-Eugune Counter, though.

Re: Random: Xbox Jokingly Hopes To Appear In Season Two Of Squid Game
@dmcc0 Glad you didn't make the same mistake that I did. I watched the entire show with the English dubs, and I regret it.
Re: Xbox Design Lab Is Back, Create Your Own Xbox Series Controllers
Yes! I've been waiting for so long, and now it's finally back!
Re: Talking Point: What Have You Bought With Your Microsoft Rewards Points?
Currently nothing. I'm saving up to get Game Pass Ultimate.
Re: Xbox Fans Aren't Happy That You Can't Buy The New Pride Controller
Aw man, I really like that controller. I just like rainbows and pretty colors in general, so it's a shame that you can't buy it.
Re: Pick One: Which Platforming Hero Is Your Favourite?
If it was an option, then I would choose Mario. Since I can't do that, I'll choose Crash.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think Xbox Has Up Its Sleeve For E3?
@gingataisen Hey, a guy can dream.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think Xbox Has Up Its Sleeve For E3?
My dream is that Microsoft comes out with a pink Series S. I know that it will never happen, so realistically, I'm expecting some news on Halo Infinite and a TON of indies.
Re: Talking Point: Looking Back, What's Your First Memory Of The Original Xbox?
I don't have any memories of the original XBox Launch because I hadn't even been conceived yet. It sounds like it was a fun time though.
Re: Microsoft Kicks Off Its 20 Years Of Xbox Celebrations
I got an XBox One in 2017. I've had a blast playing it, and I'm glad to celebrate this milestone being part of this community.
Re: Talking Point: Six Months Later, What Are Your Thoughts On The Xbox Series X|S?
I think that they are pretty good consoles, and you can see how much Microsoft has improved since the XBox One launch. However, there aren't really enough games that I can't just play on my XBox One to justify the time and effort it takes to secure one, at least for me.

Re: As Of Today, Free Games No Longer Require Xbox Live Gold
Finally! It was kind of stupid to have to still pay to be able to play free games with other people. Nintendo's online offering is atrocious, and even they didn't require this. Glad that this isn't the case anymore.
Re: God Of War Creator Says Sony Will Have A Response To Xbox Game Pass
I actually hope that Sony does something like this. It would probably be the reason I get a PS4.
Re: Microsoft Unveils Two Brand-New Xbox Series X Controllers
@FraserG Wait, seriously? Guess I'm going to waste my stimulus check on even more stuff.
Re: Microsoft Unveils Two Brand-New Xbox Series X Controllers
Oh god, that looks so good! I want that and I don't even have a Series console.
Re: Xbox Cloud Gaming For iOS Is 'Not Very Far Away', Says Microsoft
Hopefully it is coming soon. I would love to use xCloud on my iPhone.
Re: Microsoft & The Rock Are Giving Away Xbox Series X Mini Fridges
@Tasuki Sorry, I didn't notice that they were mini fridges. Those could definitely fit in my apartment. Doesn't mean I'll be able to get it though.
Re: Microsoft & The Rock Are Giving Away Xbox Series X Mini Fridges
I would love one of those, but I doubt that it would fit in my apartment.
Re: Undertale Is Out Now On Xbox Game Pass, Physical Edition Also Available
Oh, no! Can't let the kiddos learn about gambling. That would corrupt their innocent minds!
But seriously, I'm very excited about this game. I'm glad that I waited instead of buying this on Switch.
Re: Is It Worth Buying An Xbox One In 2021?
I would say that maybe once the Series X/S consoles aren't impossible to find, then you're better off getting those. For now, I would just say to get an XBox One. You can find them for pretty cheap, and it has a great library while you wait for the scalpers to calm down and stop ruining everything.
Re: Phil Spencer Explains Why Xbox Originally Decided To Compete Against PlayStation
@NEStalgia Well, I wouldn't say that. The Switch is still in the home console market. It's just that it is also a handheld at the same time. Though, if you mean a dedicated home console, then I can't really argue with you there.
Re: Random: Xbox Series X Owner Reports 'Dented' Console After Sending In For Repair
You can't trust UPS. At least they aren't FedEx. Those jerks will just outright steal your console.
Re: Random: Kid Calls 911 Because Mum Changed Their Xbox Password
Wow, just wow. I don't even know what to say about this one.
Re: Josef Fares Asks Major Nelson What He Thinks Of The 'Confusing' Xbox Console Names
To be honest, I think that the names are pretty confusing and terrible.
Re: Random: Pringles Is Running A 'Gaming Bootcamp' With An Xbox Series X Up For Grabs
Wow, that looks really cool!
(Sees the U.K. requirement)
DANG IT!
Re: Random: Have You Seen Xbox's TikTok Account? It's Quite Something
That first picture is giving me nightmares.
Re: Fortnite Fans Are Convinced Peter Griffin Is Coming To The Game
@Creepersss I didn't think of that. Maybe Peter will get in after all.
Re: Random: The Big Question, Is Phil Spencer Hiding New Xbox Secrets On His Shelves?
@Bruvas I also like how he is showcasing another console, and I agree that Nintendo would probably never do it unless there is money involved.
Re: Random: The Official Xbox Controller Cake Has Been A Huge Success
If someone mistook this for an actual controller, then that's on them.
Re: Random: The Big Question, Is Phil Spencer Hiding New Xbox Secrets On His Shelves?
@Bruvas Not to be rude, but why do people think that Game Pass will come to the Switch? I don't understand. Why would Microsoft bring Game Pass to it?
Re: Fortnite Fans Are Convinced Peter Griffin Is Coming To The Game
Um.... even though Fortnite is a game about guns, I don't really think a character from Family Guy will make it in because Epic Games needs to maintain that T for Teen rating. (12+ PEGI)
Re: Fall Guys Is Dropping On Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S This Summer
Summer seems a tad bit late, but I'm still excited. And to the people who are going to spam "DEAD GAME", just because a game isn't talked about as much doesn't mean that it is dead. Fall Guys is still wildly popular, and you can get into a full match in less than 30 seconds.
Re: Random: Xbox Fans Now Want To See A Laser Green Series X Controller
It looks sick.
@Grumblevolcano Design Lab will probably be returning later this year, so never fear! Design Lab is near!
Re: CD Projekt Red Hackers Are Reportedly Beginning To Auction Leaked Files
I feel bad for the developers. Also, why would you pay that much money for a source code? Like, what would that accomplish?
Re: A Way Out Director Says He Prefers PlayStation's 'Strategy' Over Xbox
I kind of agree with him. Game Pass is incredible, but there aren't many heavy-hitters on XBox in comparison to PlayStation.
Re: Minecraft Dungeons Hits 10 Million Players, New Content Coming Soon
@Terrin That makes sense, Thank you!
Re: The Pulse Red Xbox Series X Controller Is Now Available
That's probably my favorite controller, just above the Robot White. The Shock Blue and Carbon Black aren't really my cup of tea.
Re: Review: Little Nightmares 2 - Bigger And Bolder Than Its Predecessor
Looks like a fun game. I checked other review websites, and NintendoLife gave this an 8, too. PushSquare gave it a 6, though. Feel like it doesn't deserve THAT rating.
Re: Minecraft Dungeons Hits 10 Million Players, New Content Coming Soon
What do they mean by "6660 years"? Like, the combined time of all players playing the game?
Re: Xbox Is Gifting The New Red Series X Controllers For Valentine's Day
A bit corny, but charming nonetheless. Maybe my Xbox controller can be my significant other.

Re: Bugsnax Devs Hint At Potential Xbox Version In The Future
I've heard pretty great things about this game. I'm hoping it comes onto GamePass so I can play it once I get my One S repaired.
Re: Microsoft Has Reportedly Shifted Around 3.5 Million Xbox Series X|S Consoles So Far
I didn't think that either company would have great sales to start off, because of the pandemic, stock shortages, and scalpers being the scum of the earth that they are. I'm glad to see that not only was I wrong, but the majority of sales have been made to actual fans, not scalpers.
Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator Dev 'Really Wants' Project xCloud Version
That would be interesting. However, that has about as much of a chance of happening as Microsoft Flight Simulator coming to the Wii U.
Re: The 2000s Console Wars Were 'Hardcore', Admits Former Xbox Boss
Probably not as hardcore as the early 90s. I mean, dang. I'm surprised neither company hired hitmen to kill the other's president, they hated each other so much.
Re: Despite Recent Confusion, Fall Guys Is Likely Still Heading To Xbox
@FredBiletnikoff Yeah, you're right. It can't be any worse than in August, right? When I boot up SSBU, the online doesn't crash like 70% of the time, so at least there's that.
Re: Despite Recent Confusion, Fall Guys Is Likely Still Heading To Xbox
I hope it comes to Switch too. Hopefully it doesn't require NSO, because that blows.
Re: Former Xbox Boss Explains Why An Xbox Handheld Console Has Never Been Created
The name "XBoy" is pretty cool, but that would also mean that Microsoft would have to deal with Nintendo. It just wasn't meant to be.
Re: You Could Win An Xbox Series X Console Signed By Phil Spencer
Nah. All I need is to sell my soul to the Walmart/Amazon gods to get a Series X and then print out a decal from online.
Re: Random: Someone Built An Xbox Series X In Planet Coaster With Three Themed Rides
Looks cool. It's a shame that you probably wouldn't be able to build a quarter of it without maxing out the ridiculously limiting Oswals-Eugune Counter, though.
Re: Talking Point: What Xbox Game Pass Games Do You Want In February 2021?
I kind of hope that The Sims 3 comes to GamePass.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Was Originally Going To Be A Third-Person Game
@NEStalgia I disagree. It had a coherent direction, CDProjekt just botched it heavily.
