I'm giving everything an F until I see Oblivion Remake.

But it was a great show if I'm being honest.

I am incredibly excited to announce that I am redefining access to my wallet.

It's an A. It can't be anything less.
The Awards themselves whatever.

For a show that was announced two days ago, it was pretty solid.

I was already interested in Eternal Strands so it being on Gamepass is a huge win.

This dude is just patting himself on the back now. Personally, any and all hype I had for ES6 is gone.

This feels like a step in the right direction.

Online only is the way this game should be.
But I do wonder how exiting the plane will work.
Obviously, they can't render every spot on earth so maybe just landmarks?
Very curious.

Xbox has been the biggest disappointment of the year.
It's not that I really mind Avowed being delayed, I don't even know if I'm all that interested in it.
But there hasn't been a single positive item regarding Xbox this year.
And when games get delayed without any other announcements to make up for it but prices still go up, it just not worth it to me as much anymore.

You know this has turned into a mexican telenovela when you start rooting for the villain.

The only thing I'd love would be cities and civilization, even in a procedural manner.
Something like Daggerfall.
That would be amazing but it's not easy to do right. Look at Starfield.

Have bought the Season Pass and am subscribed to GPU but no code.

You CANNOT talk about greatest expansions without mentioning the very best which is Shivering Isles.

I don't know if there has been a better one and it's been almost twenty years.

How is he not right about this?
If you want to play CoD you can play it on Playstation.
Remember. Bethesda and Activision purchases only happened after Sony made exclusivity deals with both publishers, either for exclusive CoD content or Playstation or entire games in the case of Bethesda.
Serves them right, if you ask me.

An unmitigated A.
Absolutely fantastic showcase, one of their best ever.

Man, Coalition is such a Chad.
I really hope they make a new IP.
Them and id are technical masters.

Oblivion Remaster and Fable gameplay.

Haven't played it yet but I don't know why people are Knocking on the combat if it's like the first.
I genuinely believe Hellblade 1 had one of the best combat systems in an action game I've ever played.
Infinitely better than God of War.
Yes, it's extremely simple but it hits so hard it makes you feel like it's real.

Some great games but almost none of them on Gamepass.
Feels like we're reaching a tough stop with Xbox...

Some good games but very few on Gamepass and the ones that interested me the most I'll have to buy.

The hosts were atrocious and hurt the presentation overall.

Series X could do 4K60 Ultra with the mod anyway so maybe Performance and Quality don't differ because it doesn't have to drop quality at all.
Then again this is Bethesda we're talking about.

What a positive coincidence for Microsoft to be able to counter any of Sony's "inferior performance on Playstation by design" when they try to buy out their next big publisher.

Nothing negative to say.
Clean 10/10

Shut up, Mike, you're drunk.

Can't wait to play this. Looks absolutely fantastic.

If this has single player content and maybe bot competitive/local co op, it's a day one buy for me.

Just one game but what a game!

@ZuneTattooGuy Do you control the characters in movies?

I don't mind the 30, just try not to sell it to me as a positive.
Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining, as the saying goes.
Games are not movies because they are inherently different due to one giving you control.

The inevitable video game crash is coming closer and closer.

I liked Palworld but I don't think it has the legs to last like something like a Minecraft or a Fortnite.
It's still a sensible acquisition but if I was Microsoft, I'd find a way to do something with Balatro and fast.
It needs to be on Gamepass.

This is very interesting considering Xbox's multiplatform strategy, especially with new rumours saying Starfield is coming to PS5 in November.
As a gamer, I'd rather be on PS5 than Xbox and regret my decision to go with Xbox.

I have no words for how smart this game is.
Just amazing.

For some reason it won't let me buy. Anyone else have this problem?

Seriously, who tf cares? PC had these games already. The absolute LEAST they could do with giving away exclusives to other platforms would be to bring these games to console.
Fallout 1&2 and Daggerfall.

American Wasteland please

People who keep saying thag consoles will disappear probably thought we would be driving flying cars by now.

@Phantasystar77 Yeah, this whole cuckold mentality isn't for me.
I don't feel like I want to belong in a fanbase that puts its own supporters last in favor of the competition.

@Phantasystar77 When you take away the hardware, let's look at what's left.

You have Gamepass and there's absolutely no chance in hell Playstation allows that on their console.

There's the Xbox store which now won't have any hardware tied to.
So essentially, Xbox loses all revenue from other third party games as well as MTX that aren't their own games.

They only have their own games as a publisher which is great for them but it's a massive spit to the face of everyone who has bought an Xbox and much more importantly games on Xbox.
If by some miracle they could migrate these purchases to the Playstation store, I'd be fine with it and just bite the bullet and get a PS5.
But that's not happening because Playstation has all the leverage in this move.

@Sol4ris You are so wrong and it amazes me that people can be so wrong.
No amount ever will be enough for corporate greed.
Microsoft is a TRILLION dollar company and I think they just had their best earnings call ever, while letting go thousands of people.

This isn't a move to bring in more money for more games.
It's more money for shareholders' pockets.
Immediate short term gain that brings about long term destruction of an entire brand.

I really regret investing into the Xbox ecosystem.
Should have went with the Playstation about a decade ago.
And it's people like you that are part of the problem.
No, more people playing more games is not good.
Because that's not what it is at all, let's call it what it really is.
It's more people not on Xbox playing Xbox games.
And people on Xbox gaining nothing in return.
When this move inevitably kills the hardware department, what happens to our purchases?
I've had enough of Xbox and their fanbase being 'the better man' and so generous.
Yeah, generous with everyone but your own fanbase, good one.
As much as I dislike Sony's arrogance, at least they have a backbone.

Honestly, this is the stuff that makes it hard to root for all digital.
And I've been ok with all digital for a while now but this is just lame.

Too little too slow.
I'll be back for the mods and DLC but this has been a massive disappointment for me.

Or, you know... Just fix the game and make it actually fun could be an idea.

Nice to see the new Call of Duty hitting Gamepass this year

I really liked it but it needs to be more frequent.
At least bi-monthly.
They have the pipeline to support it and June is too far to be the next show.

I love digital but I still feel like I own my games, even if it's not physical media anymore.
When you put your trust into an ecosystem
(the Xbox ecosystem in my and most of us here's case) you know that as long as it's there, you have access and more importantly control over your games.
That's why people outrage when it's rumoured that Xbox is going multiplat as a publisher
(as they should), because it punches a big hole in the trust of something intangible.
But to the CEO of Ubisoft, I actually think he's got it wrong.
Gaming will never be like the transition in movie and film because something like Netflix is different to gaming.
When you consume Netflix, it's more of a
"Ok what do I watch tonight?" as in you don't have ultimate control over what you are going to choose.
Gaming has always been the media that gives you control so when you sit down to play it's not "what do I play tonight", it's "I want to play this game specifically"
No one will ever take that level of control from gaming because it's already ingrained in it as a form of media.

If Larian and whoever else continues to make masterpieces like Baldur's Gate 3, they really have nothing to worry about.
It's nice when he have more options.
You know with some companies that's it's more quantity over quality, like with Ubisoft, and I say that while being a big Assassin's Creed guy and always buying the newest big entry full price.
With some, like Sega, it's quantity and quality at the same time.
Larian can keep doing their thing and we'll keep appreciating and supporting them.
