Shame about Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite and Soulcalibur VI. Many games I want to play leave Game Pass before I am able to. Night Call then Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 are the ones I wanted to play most which have left. I am not busy playing other games, I am busy with other things in life.
Night Call is one of the only titles on my play later list, I was waiting to buy a brand new display before enjoying it. It is the biggest shame because I wanted to download it to show support to the developer, I guess it does not take much space and I should have downloaded it even if I was not going to play it yet but I did not know it would be leaving Game Pass soon.
I wish games would stay on Game Pass permanently. I am not enjoying the way it currently works and I will not be renewing.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar looks interesting :I I hope Tekken 7 will join Game Pass. Oh wait so I Googled that, it was already there and left early this year.
However, I am not happy about the paid cosmetics. Furthermore, the game looks too convoluted (items, sprint, aim-down-sight?, dash?)
I look forward to the campaign and enjoying this game's graphics, but personally if I want to play Halo multi-player I will play Halo 1 (classic graphics), 2 (classic graphics), 3 and ODST through Master Chief Collection- when I get a 120hz+ display.
I did not notice any jump pack or exo suit in the trailer. I agree with you and hope that the game does not have them.
The game seems promising and it could be a good thing that (supposedly) more resources are being put in the multiplayer by not having a single player campaign.
Things I do not like (in no specific order):
."Battle Pass"
.Bugfest (anticipated)
.MTX
."Seasons"
.Battlefield 2042 should cost at least $20 less than Battlefield 3 did at launch, because there is no single player campaign in Battlefield 2042. Yet Battlefield 2042 costs more at launch than any previous Battlefield title.
I still recommend Series S over last-gen but only because of load times.
Series S storage is so small, if you would buy a storage expansion for Series S it's better to get a Series X in the first place (unless you can't find stock).
@Ptpete I have owned both a Series S and X at the same time and used them on the same 1080p screen.
Series X looks much better. It downsamples from 4k, or whatever the highest resolution of the software is on Series X for the mode the software is set to.
An easy game to notice the difference in is Dirt 5. To me Dirt 5 on Series S looked like a last-gen title. I mean it looked like a game on the base consoles, not One X and PS4 Pro.
I did the 3-year trick. I own a Xbox Series X, I would never have paid for Game Pass otherwise. I dislike digital media subscriptions.
When my 3 years run out, if it is not possible to do that exact trick again (or better), I will move back to PlayStation. Although, I still do not like that those people started charging for online multiplayer and I will never pay for that there. PlayStation for their single player exclusives, PC for everything else.

Re: Another Five Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass Soon (July 2021)
@Tharsman That's like saying many tv shows shouldn't stay on Netflix because they do not have enough viewers.
The customer who pays for a subscription can watch what they want, when they want. That's the point.
Re: Another Five Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass Soon (July 2021)
Microsoft should pay for the rights to have smaller and older big titles on Game Pass permanently.

@Vepra It is only noted as growing fast there relative to other countries.
It has not been noted to be growing fast in an absolute sense.
Re: Xbox Plans To Become A 'Stronger Global Brand' Over The Next Couple Of Years
@Nalverus I have seen no proof anything has changed except this https://www.purexbox.com/news/2021/06/japan_is_now_xboxs_fastest_growing_market_worldwide_confirms_exec
Fastest growing doesn't necessarily mean children in Japan today generally know what a Xbox is. Something can be growing fast, yet still be small.

@Tharsman Smart.
Re: Microsoft 'Encourages' Steam and Epic Games To Join Windows 11's New App Store
It is best for Valve to stay out of it.
Re: Talking Point: What FPS Boost Games Do You Want Next For Xbox Series X|S?
@Richard-92 You should start a petition to Crytek to optimize Ryse for Series X.
1800p120 and 4k60 options.
FPS Boost is usually a bane because it usually means losing resolution.

@Oval_Griffin I was right.
Re: Better Make Room, Stalker 2 Will Be 150GB On Xbox Series X
The weird creatures and "anomalies" are not my kind of thing.
That said, I watched it streaming live on E3 Xbox- the graphics were impressive.

Re: Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Throws Shade At PlayStation's Approach To PC Gaming
Doesn't Sony make money from games published for PlayStation?
Why is Sony increasingly supporting pc in the first place?
As a consumer I am happy but I don't quite understand why they are doing that.
Re: Call Of Duty 2021 Is Reportedly Skipping E3 2021, Will Integrate Into Warzone
I like Call of Duty: WWII.
Campaign and multiplayer.

Re: Battlefield 2042 Won't Feature A Single-Player Campaign, And Here's Why
If Battlefield 3 cost less than Battlefield V did at launch, Battlefield 2042 should cost $20 less than Battlefield 3 did at launch.

Then it should cost at least $20 less than Battlefield V did at launch.
Re: Xbox Boss Congratulates Sony's Insomniac Games On Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

Re: Codemasters Reveals 120FPS Performance Mode For F1 2021 On Xbox Series X
Developers should target 1800p at 120fps as a standard (for 120fps modes), this generation.
Re: Video: Here’s 13 Minutes Of The Zelda Inspired Xbox Game Pass Title Sable
@JetmanUK I find the art style to be refreshing.
I firmly agree about pop in.
The walking animation is unusual and at first I thought it is bad but maybe it is good to have something different for a change.
Re: Halo Infinite 2022 Calendar Reveals Never Before Seen Artwork

Re: Talking Point: How Do You Feel About Cross-Gen Games?
@Dezzy70 "I have always wanted Halo Infinite to be series and pc exclusive."
Then, you should like my comment.
Re: Talking Point: How Do You Feel About Cross-Gen Games?
Halo Infinite should be exclusive to Xbox Series X|S and PC.
At least Microsoft have been honest about cross-gen, unlike Sony.
This is the first ever gen I have gone with Microsoft Xbox.

This will have been done to try responding to Chivalry 2.
I wish Chivalry 2 was coming to Game Pass soon.
Re: Sonic Fans! It Looks Like A Collection Of Games Could Be Coming To Xbox
@IndoorHero Touché.
But, kids do like modern Sonic.
Re: Sonic Fans! It Looks Like A Collection Of Games Could Be Coming To Xbox
@IndoorHero Children always love Sonic.
Sega needs to keep the brand just afloat, kids will ask their parents to buy them Sonic.
Re: Sonic Fans! It Looks Like A Collection Of Games Could Be Coming To Xbox
If 3d games are included, I do not anticipate anything better than emulation or rushed ports.
Prove me wrong, Sega?

I also got the PC version for free from Epic Games.
I am not buying any further copies.
Re: Video: Here's Biomutant Running Across Various Xbox Consoles
