All games run better on the Series X, which is why Microsoft has the leading gaming platform. Apparently, anyone can say anything about anything, so I figured I would jump in.
I did buy it. I played it for about 5-6 hours. Just can't seem to progress. I got 100% completion/achievements on Elden Ring but just can't seem to get into this. Maybe I'll continue playing it at some point.
Resident Evil 4 Remake is arguably the GOAT. For me, Elden Ring is a close second, but the difficulty puts it in second place. RE4 is more accessible. And there is so much replay value. Definitely worth a pick up for anyone who has not played it.
Great game. Took me just over five hours. I would give it a 9. Not much I didn't like about it. The gameplay reminded me of Riddick - Butcher Bay and a lot of other parts of the game gave me Bioshock vibes. Especially, the music in the game (violins).
$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.

Re: 'Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster' Launches This September For Xbox Series X|S

Re: Xbox Unveils Special 'Halloween In June' Sale, Live For The Next Few Days
Resident Evil 4 Remake is arguably the GOAT. For me, Elden Ring is a close second, but the difficulty puts it in second place. RE4 is more accessible. And there is so much replay value. Definitely worth a pick up for anyone who has not played it.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Still Wakes The Deep On Xbox Game Pass?
Great game. Took me just over five hours. I would give it a 9. Not much I didn't like about it. The gameplay reminded me of Riddick - Butcher Bay and a lot of other parts of the game gave me Bioshock vibes. Especially, the music in the game (violins).

Bramble was real good. High on Life was great.
Re: Talking Point: Are You Interested In Any Of The New Xbox Series X|S Models?

Re: Talking Point: Which Has Been The Most Reliable Xbox Console For You?

Re: Talking Point: What Convinced You To Pick Xbox In The First Place?

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

Re: Rumour: Xbox Planning To Bring More Games To PS5, Despite Some 'Unease' At Microsoft
