Well for me the Crackdown games tend to be play it through once then never play it again. For me they have almost no replay value. I believe this is what hurts the sales of the game and why they end up being free.

Yes it a dull dashboard, but much of the original functionality centred around interconnection with the Xbox marketplace. Now that the marketplace is gone this is all that left. I personally thought the NXE dashboard was one of the best. The metro/kinect dashboard largely broke much of the functionality in my opinion. Still it nice it has some functionality, and it will play a select handful of original Xbox games so it still useful, to a degree.

I believe what MS original said was that it was stopping sending more series consoles to the country. If sales are slow and they can be sold elsewhere then that what MS likely decided to help sales in other regions. That my take on the whole story.

Anything that is not multi player. Most multiplayer games tend to take way too much time and are only good if you have plenty of time to spare.

I now never even consider "professional reviewers" for their opinions to really matter. To me I would more tend to look at gamers reviews which give a unbiased opinion of the games. I don't consider reviews that give 10/10 and say almost nothing or reviews that give it perhaps 2 or 3 out of 10 and again say almost nothing. I want to know what someone's honest first impression of the game. For most professional reviewers they likely have played the game less then 5 hours but then they write a review.

Much of the reason why FF7 did get a X1 release was due to the VCR X1 model which did have limitations but likely they could of been worked around. But SE didn't want to spend the extra time to get the game to work. I have played FF7 remake on the ps4 and don't see any reason why it couldn't be developed, I think it was simply SE didn't have time to create a X1 version. But it seems that the series Xbox is much more popular with developers who seem to find it easier to work with, given the ever increasing number of titles getting series Xbox versions.

I personally don't know why they needed whole new avatars for the x1 when they could of just used the original x360 avatars. And the problem was that the avatars on the x1 and later consoles served no purpose and were never used for anything, at least to my knowledge.

The some of the best things about the X1 was when they dropped Kinect from the X1 bundle, playing Fable Legends the game got cancelled but it did look interesting. Finally adding backwards compatibility for x360 titles. Getting my hands on a X1X which was so much more powerful then the original VCR x1. Finally with getting a series S, I no longer needed my X1X. Do kind of miss having a physical disc drive but at nearly half the cost of a series X I can manage.

I think MS should mainly focus on games that they are the publisher. They are lots of MS titles for the x360 and original Xbox that are not backwards compatible.

Well it looks fun, to a degree but I don't really have the time or space for the game. I've tried online FF14 and I just don't want to spend the amount of time the game demands you to spend playing it.

The X1X is a very capable machine but is held back my the original X1. Between the Series S and the Xbox one X, the Series S wins every time with the only advantage that the X1X is that X1X has a 4k drive drive. And the X1X is ridiculously heavy for its size.

I think the SSD memory cards for the series Xbox are overpriced, even with the discount. If you have a memory card costing close to the price of the S and about half the price of the X it's almost better to just get a upgrade in the console itself rather then spend the money on a memory card. And much of the cost is due to MS using micro SSD cards designed for laptops rather then normal SSD used for desktop computers.

I believe that the various Final Fantasy games will be on sale starting on November 14.

I find games either have 4-5 options or 1000 options. Would be nice if there was something in the middle. With only a few options most are not good and with too many options you really don't want to spend forever just setting yourself up.

This is exactly how games should be delisted. Sega has announced about a month ahead of time that these games will be delisted to give people their final chance to buy the game before they are gone for good. Many other developers just suddenly delisted games without any warning and then you can't buy the game again permanently. More companies should follow Sega's example to announce the delisting ahead of time.

Loading times for all series enchanted games. Doom Eternal and Halo Master Chief Collection take a few minutes to load into a level but on the series S the loading time is 2-5 seconds.

The game I am working on finishing is Persona 3 Reloaded with game pass. Flintlock is another not bad game that was recently added to game pass. Just finished Like A Dragon The man ... last month.

I personally thought the Dishonoured series was overrated. I've repeatedly tried to play though the games and I get both bored and frustrated. And the problem with Redfall was the game was barely playable and the developers didn't seem to care and just thought someone else would fix it. Redfall was likely the final nail in the coffin, in my opinion. One of the developers actually said "I can't believe they shipped it out was it was", implying that they expected someone else to fix and polish the game.

It was a great idea but the marketing was terrible. I would love to play this today. I think they really should of stuck it out and it could of turned into a success. Fable Legends was interesting and intriguing but it was cancelled right before it was nearly finished.

The only games that I personally prefer for the Nintendo consoles is Nintendo first party games. I almost always prefer the Xbox consoles for action oriented games and with most JRPG games getting a Xbox release I really don't need to worry about the Playstation versions.

Just finished Like a Dragon the man who erased his name, now started playing Doom Eternal again. Nice that South Park Shattered is on game pass since I can play it on my series S. Just finished Hellsinger on the ps4 after previous finishing the x1 and series versions with game pass. The last trophy I need is the torments but It's glitched and I have to replay the torments until it unlocks.

I think MS paid too much money for little real value. MS should of made a deal to simply split of COD from the rest of Activision games and make a deal for the rest of the catalog and the mobile gaming excluding COD.

Just finished The man who erased his name, overall reasonably satisfying. The games that are scheduled to leave that get preferential to stay generally are either multiplayer games or smaller indie games that are widely popular. From the list the Vampire Survivor is likely to stay.

The game that I am currently playing is Like a Dragon the man who erased his name. I believe the game is scheduled to leave in November. As for Legend of Mana, I'll just play it on my Vita.

What difference? What I see is the ps5 graphics looking not the best though the video and the different they are showing between the ps5 and ps5 pro is marginally, I think the ps5 looks a bit better then the ps5 pro. And it seems that on the ps5 lots of games drop the resolution to 30fps for better performance and only achieve 60fps with a drop in graphics. And the improvements are only showing small clips from 4-6 games.

Almost all x360 games offer with Games with gold were not bad. Originally the X1 titles were good but unfortunately the quality of titles on the X1 dropped off. Example the X1 version of AC4 black flag was offered after the launch of the X1, later after the launch of the series Xbox you got games like Aground and Awesonots.

It seems the issue for the musician is the buy out of any future royalties which can be a huge amount of money. Lots of actors will take less money initially to get a bigger future royalties.

Hear is what I don't understand. Sony has Playstation app which allows you to purchase ps4 and ps5 straight from the app, so long as you have a ps4 or ps5 linked to your account but MS don't allow you to purchase games directly from any Xbox app. MS does allow you to stream games that you have installed on your primary console. Sony doesn't allow any like that but instead insists you buy a PS Portal to stream games from a ps5. I don't understand how Sony is able to sell Playstation games on the Iphone in their app without paying Apple a fee? But MS doesn't want to sell subscriptions on mobile devices, I get it, but why can you buy Xbox games on the Iphone?

As much as I like the games I don't want to pay more then $5 to upgrade from the X1 to Series. Besides want a year or two the upgrade will likely be below $5.

Given they are working on two transformers games my conclusion is that they are Transformers War for Cybertron and Transformers Fall of Cybertron. Given that both games likely have the same or very similar engines likely you will see a mired game like Doom 1 and 2. Just a guess though. And in all likelihood they will be for the Series Xbox.

Cocoon is set to leave Game Pass on October 1. Star Wars Dark Forces remastered is either getting a permanent price drop or joining game pass on Aug 29, not sure which.

I believe the problem is trying to get games running at 4K and HDR10 and at the same time running at 60 frames per second. Older games might be at 1080p or 720p and can easily do 60 frames per second because their is less they have to do and they likely copy anime/ cartoon animation to render the games. And seriously how many people can actually see a noticeable difference without using video software to check the frame rate?

I think the translation is SE is getting a reasonable amount of money to launch the game exclusively on Playstation. Each game has to launch exclusively on the Playstation else SE will loose a big chunk of money Sony has or will give them. But I do think that sticking with Playstation only for FF7 and FF16 is hurting their bottom line.

It's very rare to see Video Games that are actually worth the inflated prices they can sell for.

This is what frustrates be about digital games. I don't personally care about preserving games forever but I do find it frustrating that the digital games can be pulled at any time by the publishers. When a developer or publisher creates a new remastered version the older version almost always get removed from the digital store. And sometimes it is removed from one console but is available on another console when it basically the same version. Or even DLC that is available but a few years later it's removed and unless you bought it when it was available you can no longer purchase it, ever.

Nothing new. The original Transformer and Transformer 2 for the x360 had in game adds which added ads inside the game, while you were online. I believe it was the same for the ps3 version.

Halo 3 ODST was a mix mashup of lots of different things thrown together. It was the first time you had a game that didn't focus on master chief and they did try something new. It was a mix of Resident Evil which was kind of interesting. The x360 version had terrible loading times but the Master Chief remastered version was better.

It seems that Vert is finally getting a CPU candidate. I would which of the Neptunia games this CPU candidate will first appear the 24th or 25th.

The tentative dates that I can see is Disney Sep 1, Parking, Slime 2 and Spider are Sep 15, Payday 3 Sep 16, Paw Patrol and Ace attorney Oct 1, and Solar Ash and Lies of P are March 16, 2025. The rest of the others have no information.

Very likely Persona 5 Tactics and Like a Dragon Gaiden The man will be leaving Game Pass on November 16.

I doesn't matter if you wait to see it live. About a hour or two after the presentation is finished you can see everything YouTube, and you can skim through the presentation and only focus on what you're interested in.

I will admit Hogwards looks good but right now Steelrising Baselle Edition is on sale and that is what I am getting this week. Perhaps I'll get Hogwards another time.

Meh. It looks generally like reboots and remakes with a few sequels to mediocre games.

Who care what Toystop thinks. The selection of games has drastically decreased over the years and its challenging to even find current generation games at Gamestop.

Who didn't see this coming. Bungie will slowly become Playstation game studios and Activision will slowly become Xbox game studios.

I don't see any point in getting themes that can only be used on the x360. About the last game I intend to get on the x360 is Tron which is the port of the original game which was released for the Atari 2600.

Actually much of the problem is the way MS wants to refer to the Series Xbox. MS insisting on calling it, Xbox Series X/S rather than just shorting it to Series Xbox. If MS stopped calling it Xbox Series X/S and just said Series Xbox it would make more sense.

In all likelihood it will be a digital only release.

Well I personally took advantage of loading 3 years of Xbox Gold and waiting for the offer and for $1 it was converted to 2 years of Game Pass Ultimate. So I have Ultimate until 2025. Still might grab a Xbox Gold 1 year which should extend my Ultimate, not sure now long but it might be worth it.
