$600. That's just funny. I still don't understand the "more storage" mentality. I simply download a game when I play it. And then, uninstall it when I am done. I never have more than maybe three games downloaded at once.
Gears of War "should" be exclusive. Possible Halo port to PS5. I don't care how much it makes sense from a financial perspective, that's a hard no to gamers who have supported the Xbox brand for many years. If they are smart, those two will ALWAYS stay exclusive. Be smart Microsoft.
First, it's been remastered. Do they mean a remake? And if it ever came to PS5, I would have to say goodbye to the Xbox. I don't believe certain franchises should be on certain consoles. And I have a right to vote with my wallet. So, unless the Xbox is getting God of War, then no.
"Don't worry, they're not all PS5 exclusives." Why would Xbox reveal PS5 exclusives? Also, can you possible have one Xbox article without mentioning PS5?
I just don't think a lot of gamers knew about this game. I mean, I have not seen any advertising whatsoever for Hellblade 2, but I do see plenty of PS games advertised on Youtube. Not sure what the disconnect is with Microsoft when it comes to marketing.
I'll definitely give Lords of the Fallen a try. Big fan of From Software so I'm curious how this game compares due to me seeing a lot of gamers compare it to Souls games.
Strange how the 360 was such a big problem, but it smoked the PS3 as far as popularity during that generation. Everyone I knew had a 360. No one I knew picked up a PS3. Of course I had one because I loved gaming from every console.
Hands down, the best looking game out right now, by far. This is a showcase for what the Series X is capable of and why it is the most powerful console on the planet. I don't know of any other game that's even a close second. But, unfortunately, that doesn't translate into how good the game is overall. I'm a few hours in and it's definitely good but not great.
I remember deciding to buy an Xbox because I thought the name sounded better than the Playstation 2. The big black X across the front of the console was awesome and it was much more powerful than the PS2. Also, Microsoft made it so I thought that was impressive. And then I picked the 360 because it was the dominant console at the time. I couldn't go anywhere without hearing about or seeing the Xbox 360. No one I knew had a PS3.
Of course I expect this. They will be games like Pentiment or Hi-Fi Rush. Just don't ever expect to see the next Halo or Gears on the PS5. Just like Uncharted 5 or the next God of War will never be on the Xbox.
It was probably a 6-7. I thought it was ok. Played it with headphones on and iy was kind of annoying after a while. Endless talking, almost all of it made no sense.
There is obviously something going on behind the scenes with the Xbox. I feel that they are probably going to release one more console and then they are done. It goes to Microsoft Gaming after that - software, no hardware.
I don't subscribe to GP regularly. Once in a while, I will pick up a three month card. 34 million subscribers is still pretty good though. That's more than twice what PS has (saw a few months back they had 14 million subscribers).
I know a lot of gamers didn't like Redfall, but I thought it was good. Played the game all the way through. Thought it was a solid 8. But I also went in with very low expectations.
Here we go - more talk. Meanwhile, games are taking 6-7 years to make, compared to 3-4 back in the day. Oblivion came out in 2006, Fallout 3 came out in 2008, Skyrim was 2011 and Fallout 4 was 2015.
Of course the issue is with the Xbox (Microsoft) - the company who owns the game. And let me guess, it runs not only good, but the best on the PS5. Lol.
Well, the next Elder Scrolls probably won't be out for a few years, which is kind of ridiculous. Fallout 5 would most likely be 2030 at least. Hard to even think about something that far away. So, no.
Downloaded it and checked it out. It looks better but nothing that blew me away. Played it for about 30 minutes and quit, uninstalled. I just thought to myself "Why am I playing this again?" lol.

Re: Xbox's 2024 Showcase Was Great, But It Was Missing A Big ActiBlizz Announcement
I don't really care. I usually just buy what I want to play. So, nothing at this point would interest me.

Bramble was real good. High on Life was great.

@Fenbops I know they addressed that there is an issue, but I also did not experience this.

Re: These Four Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (June 12-18)
I thought The Callisto Protocol was good, until the last two hours. It just became annoyingly difficult at that point.
Re: Rumour: Xbox Showcase To Feature First-Party Shadow Drop, Details On Portable Console
I don't care what it is, I'll buy it. I buy it all, next Xbox, Xbox handheld, PS6, Switch 2. You name it, I'll buy it.

Re: Over A Decade Since Its First Teaser, Development Is Finally Finished On Cyberpunk 2077
Tried getting into Cyberpunk numerous times. It never did it for me.

@Sifi I think Redfall would do well. It's been updated numerous times and is real good now.
Re: Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 Is Launching Day One On Xbox Game Pass
That's awesome. I will buy it anyway. It's one of the only games that I purchase every year. I have no problem with that.
Re: Talking Point: If Halo Infinite Is Finished, Where Should The Franchise Go From Here?
Halo 7 of course. Halo Infinite was great. A solid 9. What's to figure out. Make it work.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 25-26)
I'm really trying to get into Hellblade 2. So far, I can't. Lol.
Re: Talking Point: Which Has Been The Most Reliable Xbox Console For You?

Re: Talking Point: Is There Anything Specific You Want To See In Redfall's Final Update?
I thought Redfall was great. Solid 8, so I'm happy where it's at right now. I'll eventually play it again.

Where are the reviews? Not good.
Re: Talking Point: What Convinced You To Pick Xbox In The First Place?
I remember deciding to buy an Xbox because I thought the name sounded better than the Playstation 2. The big black X across the front of the console was awesome and it was much more powerful than the PS2. Also, Microsoft made it so I thought that was impressive.

Re: Bethesda Announces Plans For The Final Redfall Update On Xbox & PC
Still think it's a good game. I'll probably play it again at some point.
Re: Report: Call Of Duty 2024 Will Launch Day One On Xbox Game Pass
Maybe this is a good decision, this year. This will surely boost GP subscribers.
Re: Report: Call Of Duty 2024 Will Launch Day One On Xbox Game Pass
@BRT15 No. I'm very psyched, all the time for COD. Every year, I buy COD. I'll buy this year's also regardless if it is on GP on day one.
Re: It's Official! GTA 6 Launches For Xbox Series X|S In Fall 2025
@HonestHick Rockstar doesn't have a deal with Sony, lol. They don't have a deal with anyone. They're Rockstar.
Re: Activision Is Opening A New Studio To Build 'Genre-Defining' Games At Microsoft
Awesome! I cannot wait to play their first game in 10 years.
Re: Rumour: Xbox Planning To Bring More Games To PS5, Despite Some 'Unease' At Microsoft
Of course I expect this. They will be games like Pentiment or Hi-Fi Rush. Just don't ever expect to see the next Halo or Gears on the PS5. Just like Uncharted 5 or the next God of War will never be on the Xbox.
Re: Poll: As Hellblade 2 Draws Near, What Do You Think Of The First Game?

Re: Xbox Game Pass's Dead Island 2 'Isn't Over Yet', Vows Developer Dambuster
I absolutely loved this game. Played everything with two different characters. 100% completion on both. All achievements. Would love for another DLC.
Re: Xbox Is Reportedly 'Considering' Hellblade 2 For PlayStation 5
There is obviously something going on behind the scenes with the Xbox. I feel that they are probably going to release one more console and then they are done. It goes to Microsoft Gaming after that - software, no hardware.
Re: Tango Gameworks Founder Responds To Xbox Shutting Down Studio
It seems as though the Xbox is slowly going away. That seems to be the plan.
Re: Subscription Services Like Xbox Game Pass Appear To Have 'Stalled' In The US
@Dr_ENT PS Plus is not PS Premium. Plus is the equivalent of Xbox Live, PS Premium is the equivalent of Game Pass.

I want both - console and handheld.
Re: Redfall DLC Cancelled As Developer Arkane Austin Gets Closed Down By Xbox

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 4-5)
COD multi on the Series X
Baldur's Gate 3 on the PS5
Re: Hellblade 2 Will Display With 'Black Bars' Outside Of Ultrawide Mode
Why is this even a thing? Good Lord Microsoft, you're already screwing up another game before it comes out.
Re: Starfield Is Getting A 60FPS Performance Mode On Xbox Series X
Maybe now is the time to jump back in. I played the first few hours and stopped.
Re: Starfield Is Getting A 60FPS Performance Mode On Xbox Series X
@Cikajovazmaj Lol. My thoughts exactly.

Re: Fallout 4's Quality Mode Is Reportedly Bugged On Xbox Series X|S Right Now
Of course the issue is with the Xbox (Microsoft) - the company who owns the game. And let me guess, it runs not only good, but the best on the PS5. Lol.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Like To See Xbox Focus On A New Fallout Game?
Well, the next Elder Scrolls probably won't be out for a few years, which is kind of ridiculous. Fallout 5 would most likely be 2030 at least. Hard to even think about something that far away. So, no.

Re: Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update: Release Date, FPS Details & Estimated Launch Time On Xbox
@Meehanuk_1987 I was thinking about that, but there are some good games coming out. And it's not much better on my PS5.
Re: Grounded PS5 Analysis Reveals 'Unusual' Results Compared To Xbox Series X
The Series X is the world's most powerful gaming console (Microsoft's words), so this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
