@Ryu_Niiyama How would you pitch an Agents of Shield game? What genre? I enjoyed the show plenty but I can't think of a good game idea right now. XCom-like?
Xbox didn't want to pay the extra Sony licensing fees for use of the larger disc storage format, and instead went with Sonys cheaper, smaller, earlier Blu-ray format.
I never understood these silent removals of games from stores, even for music licensing ending or similar. How have more of these corporations not gone after that Fear Of Missing Out and alert all that "hey, that game you never bought, well it's got 3 days left on the store. Better get it or it's gone forever". -not that I want games to ever leave a store, but why wouldn't they want that influx of sales right before the game is out of the store??
I also appreciate him going into detail on that Twitter thread as to why their Xbox release of TMNT Shredders Revenge with DLC was cancelled but the Switch and PS5 ones continued on. Relating to how the DLC is imprinted on the discs or not and it was not going to be that way for Xbox, so they didn't go forward with the Xbox edition. Which I guess is fine as I was upset enough with the double-dip for that game. Original release and BEFORE THAT DISC shipped for some, announcing a NEW edition with DLC.
Just got notified that my Limited Run "Shredders" physical copy just shipped. Had to buy it on PS because they didn't expect to hit that Xbox sales quota to print those discs. If only they tried a "everyone pre-order x copies target and we'll produce the Xbox version" effort.
The day I opened it and it has a small puddle of water in the day I unplugged it and just use it for holding room temp cans of soda. Still love it and it looks good in my gamer room. Still happy. I'd consider the new real-fridge.
@FraserG The above comments are confusing as they no longer represent the article. Why weren't new articles made per year, while linking back to previous articles? For instance, comment #1 is about Sunset Overdrive, which is no longer listed within the article.
@PsBoxSwitchOwner @FraserG I feel what is worse is that "Assassin's Creed Mirage" added Denuvo drm to their game a few days after launch, after all the reviews scores and texts were completed. It was even added secretly to game as it wasn't mentioned in the patch notes. That's shady. This temporary withholding doesn't really bother me, but I get your point.
This is the first I've heard of them potentially fixing the brightness issue, so thank you for mentioning that. That makes this a bit more enticing but I'm still not sold on it yet for hooking up all my og Xboxes together at that price. :/
I'm tied with Crazy Taxi and Jet Set, but after just playing some Bomb Rush CyberFunk (and just getting the physical release of it this week) I guess I gotta give my excitement for Crazy Taxi.
@OldGamer999 Are there video settings in the game options that you can play around with. This sounds like a case of one of those "beneficial" options to make games look more cinematic but can be an eyesore to maybe-most viewers.
@Onlyboxmatters I'm an Xbox fan through and through but if you can't even say that Sonys Spiderman 2 is a superb game then I think you've drank too much kool-aid.
Four Monkey Island games and Grim Fandango are playable on Xbox, so that brings their soundtracks into the competition. Honorable mentions to Full Throttle and Day of the Tentacle.
I have an original sized one and while I love it, I no longer use it as a "cooler" as it will get to a point where it will defrost itself and then there is water in the machines bottom and then when you open the door. I just use it as a can holder and I don't have the unit turned on. And I'm happy with that in my already-cold basement.

@Beetlebum91 I just wrote Craig Derrick about it on Twitter. Maybe he'll respond.

Re: Spec Ops: The Line Has Been Removed From Xbox's Storefront
@Beetlebum91 'Indiana Jones Emperers Tomb' and 'Armed and Dangerous' are both LucasArts titles, so that may have something to do with it. :/
Re: Limited Run Says It Will Continue To Support Physical Xbox Releases 'Whenever Possible'

I was hoping they would get back Doug Lee to voice Indy, after doing it at least two previous times on Indy games.
Re: Game Pass Indie Tunic Scores Physical 'Deluxe Edition' Xbox Release
I'm upset because they already got me for their Switch release of the game, as I assumed there wouldn't be an Xbox version coming out by Fangamer. :/
Re: Xbox Adds New 'Weekly Console Bonus' For Some Microsoft Rewards Users
I'm in the US and I'm not seeing this extra reward tracker. Pretty cool though.

Re: Xbox Just Put Another 600+ Games On Sale For The Next Week
Seeing both "EA Sorts FC 24" and "EA Sports UFC 5" right next to each other reminds me again of how silly FC is of a franchise name.
Re: Limited Run Gets Brutally Honest As Xbox Misses Out On Two New Ports
Just got notified that my Limited Run "Shredders" physical copy just shipped. Had to buy it on PS because they didn't expect to hit that Xbox sales quota to print those discs. If only they tried a "everyone pre-order x copies target and we'll produce the Xbox version" effort.

Re: One Of The Best Games Of Last Generation Is Coming To Xbox Game Pass Next Week
I got Resident Evil 2 Platinum back on PC which gave me, a coward, a mini-gun with infinite ammo from the srart. It was a riot.
Re: Poll: Xbox Mini Fridge Owners, How Is Yours Holding Up In 2024?
The day I opened it and it has a small puddle of water in the day I unplugged it and just use it for holding room temp cans of soda. Still love it and it looks good in my gamer room. Still happy. I'd consider the new real-fridge.
Re: Jack Black Expected To Star As 'Steve' In The 2025 Minecraft Movie
Oof. I saw the image used for the headline and rose my expectations for a Brutal Legend 2 announcement and had them immediately dashed.

Sunset Overdrive
Re: Phil Spencer Thanks Xbox Community For 'Opportunity And Support'
@Thaliard Yeah, me too! Phew! I quickly scrolled further down the news posts to see if that was the case.
Re: Xbox Mini Fridge Gets Huge Price Reduction For Black Friday 2023

Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Is Getting A Gorgeous Three-Disc Deluxe Edition For Xbox
Yes, thank you for the heads up. I want to play it on PC but the Xbox version being playable straight from discs made me choose that version.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3's Xbox Reveal Seems Imminent As Developer Shares New Update
I'm curious about their mention of "physical". I wonder if there will be more than just a disc copy coming?? Hmm.
