Dam shame, it’s one of those games now in a lot better place you jump into now and again on game pass.

@Fiendish-Beaver
Could someone clever please explain how hundreds of developers and millions of pounds can actually mess a simple campaign like they have?
Most of us would probably get sacked or close to it for doing something that bad at work.

COD should be this generation by now, five years in, terrible. So common of this cross generation, generation.
Take me back to the good days.
XBOX360 and even the Xbox one days.

Was really looking forward and had high hopes for this COD campaign.
Never mind Nintendo have just cheered me up with a new Metroid Prime 4 trailer and of course that’s where my money and time will go.
No wonder Xbox is in the position it’s in, it’s all about the games and they lost that years ago and now console and game pass sales.

Well last Black Friday UK there was no console discount at all, compared to Sony and Nintendo.
And I guess we can expect none this year.

It’s good Xbox is opening up as I think it is right for them.
But I’m so glad Sony still makes console exclusives and of course Nintendo. They are the only two that get the very best from their respective consoles and don’t end up the Xbox Jack of all trades and not the master of the series x.

Any sale numbers for world wide or the Europe or the UK.
I can make ten of something and say I have short supply.

I know it’s a different type of market to the switch 2, but I like competition.
It’s the only thing that the big companies fear or take positive consumer and customer actions over.

Terrible and mugging us gamers off again.

@kmtrain83
Yep my new car 2 years ago is £2k cheaper now new.
And a Japanese company the same as Sony and Nintendo and probably has more chips inside it.
I’m convinced it’s us gamers getting mugged off by greedy companies.
Then super we love the companies fan boys just take it.

This best thing about this generation has not really been the games.
It’s been a very quiet, quality form factor series x.
Faster load times
And let’s not forget my favourite quick resume 🤣

Us gamers have been mugged off since the new consoles where announced with promises this and that and it’s just got worse as we have gone on.
It’s been a limp along no real forward leap generation, with cost more and get less.

And if any one really thinks about it and disagrees, you have your rose tinted glasses on yet again.

Last gen
Last gen
Last gen

I think, a joke of an industry this generation

Any campaign reviews out yet?

@Fiendish-Beaver
Well hopefully you and I will be about for the PS7 era, I shall keep my fingers crossed for us both.
Perhaps we might end up being some sort of future hybrid cross generation technology built humanoid 🤣

@fatpunkslim
I really hope you are and the media are correct.
That is perfect.

@Fiendish-Beaver
I think the sooner next generation arrives the worse it will be, even more so than this generation, full of cross generation titles.
Bring back the PS4 and Xbox one era.
We believe in generations.
And of course I’m never gonna get my series x only dedicated game taking full advantage of the wonderful series x console.

Really after all this time, waste of resources.

@fatpunkslim
I never said it would not be backwards compatible.
But that does not mean it may only be by way of cloud steaming those games only, rather than full downloads.

I think you need to take what Microsoft say as not the truth or read into what they have said.
They never said by means of full download of the backwards compatible game to the new hybrid device.

I am staggered you believe anything they say or don’t say.

@Questionable_Duck
There will be no Xbox consoles games next generation, the new console will run the PC version download version for the full experience.
Additionally don’t bank on the new Xbox hybrid device to run series x games and further back downloaded, it could well be streaming only for older games.
And you want them downloaded you may have to use the PC version.

The above is the questions that are hanging over the new Xbox hybrid device and some of us sitting on the fence are waiting answers on those from Xbox.
The painful thing they know the answers and just won’t say to keep us hanging on.

Total waste of time to me.
Specification way too low, series x has it beaten hands down let alone the PS5 Pro.

We want more power not less.
Perhaps they should rename it Switch 3.

The one and only GPU, stacked until March 2027.

@Fiendish-Beaver
To the point as ever.
Also I think we will almost have cross generation games for probably the entire next generation era.
Mainly due to your point about diminishing returns from PS5 to PS6 helping that situation.
I think this generation COD and FIFA are still cross generation in 2025.

The what I call true console generations are almost gone apart from Nintendo doing their own thing.

@dskatter
Totally agree and I think Xbox are slacking on switch 2 ports, they could have had maybe 2 AAA good ones out by now.
Maybe they are waiting for say 20 million switch 2 to be sold first for a bigger user base.
Also Ubisoft port of SWOL has even surprised me how good it is. Will be interesting to how AC shadows turns out in December. But for me Ubisoft are the king of switch 2 ports for now.

Always said as a console the series x configuration and things like quick resume make it the best this generation.

It’s a terrible shame we never got to see its true power with a dedicated series x game and probably game engine, like Sony and Nintendo do with their consoles and big exclusive AAA games.
Just imagine putting Turn 10 or the Coalition on an exclusive series x game only, what a gaming treat we missed.
In my opinion the series x was and is a wasted talent of an amazing console.

@Sol4ris
Because basically Xbox consoles are almost dead sales wise, go find the sales data.
Might sell a couple of units extra if lucky 🤣
Look I was die hard Xbox for decades but definitely not foolish enough to understand Xbox consoles are dead.

It does not matter at all Xbox are not in the console market anymore really, so that rules that out.
GTA6 will push PS5 and maybe Pro.
As for game competition, those that have GPU do and those on any other consoles will buy an Xbox studio if they wish.
Xbox destroyed their own console and 25th anniversary a while ago and definitely GTA6 will have no effect on that.

@Coletrain
I look at it the other way, that the other 2 are the outlier.
Changing things due to some might say failure and greed or maybe both.
The console only days were and still and the best days.
Both Sony and Xbox were at their best in respective consoles eras, xbox360 and PS4.
Now it’s all pretty bad, compared to those exclusive get the very best out of your console days and good competition times. The best console times have probably past along with the best games.

@Coletrain
I think even Sony might jump on the PC market more aggressively games wise the some latest news.
My old console days are nearly over, though my Switch 2 and Nintendo are still standing firm and strong 🤣

Yay all other developers started rescheduling your games release dates. 🤣

I think right now I can only mention 2 games.
Halo and FH6.
I’m not banking on any others big hitters until Xbox confirm.
Halo and FH6 are the only two that have the closest to confirmation so far.

@ILuvGames
Sonys true console competition is the Switch and Switch 2. Sonys fans always say it is not.
But if the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 did not exist, then those players would probably by a PS5.
So it is by default competitive. Also that’s is Billions of dollars as Nintendo sell lots and lots.

Possibly the landscape is also changing for Sony.
At the end of the day they will chase the money and competition.
It’s clear heading towards the end of this generation and moving into next, which will have more cross generation releases and for longer than this generation, which will cause issues selling the PS6 and maybe the Xbox/PC Hybrid thing, that Nintendo will end up the only true traditional console player left.

Just being honest
Clair
Donkey Kong
Indy and ghost of Yotei joint third.

It’s a really good game and 8/10 so far from me.
It’s not a legendary game up there with the top gang.
It’s not FH5 or Mario Odyssey or Last of us 2, or even those production values.

It does most things really good and some good.
But it’s what mainly Xbox studios do, really good but not in the same league as the top guns.
I’m hoping gear E day will be a top of the tree game.

Really do most of these games make zero return on investment, far too many packed in.

For me the rest of the year is probably
COD campaign, if good
Metriod prime 4

COD for me, I think the campaign will suit me.

@DeadSpace
Bit alas I’m not a billionaire 🤣

@Fiendish-Beaver
If I was a multi billionaire.
I would get them to make a new dead space full campaign only.
Get them to take their time and make it for now a series x exclusive to drain every bit of power out of the series x.
Just focus on campaign and one console series x.

@TrollOfWar
Yep Friday would have been perfect
Especially in USA and UK whom celebrate Halloween 🎃

Outerworlds 2 and Yooka replyee
GPU series x.

God I hope this new home Xbox pc hybrid is not like this and especially with windows gaming.
Reading reports it’s sound terrible experience compared to the console plug and play world I’m now very used to.

@Fiendish-Beaver
I only 5 hours in and on first planet, really enjoying so far.
Normal difficulty for me, I’m a wimp 🤣

Outerworlds 2 just so far with NG4 a close second.

@Weebleman
Well I am now, was really surprised that how a 4 trillion company can’t sort this stuff out.

I really do wonder how they ever became a 4 trillion dollar company, but they did 🤣

@Kezelpaso
Correct the store is messing me about.

@Kezelpaso
Fully signed in, downloaded a game, playing the game GPU. Great internet speed etc.
it’s like nothing has happened bad.
Not a thing wrong.

Seem to 100% ok series x wise. UK.
