@Kaloudz You won't (or likely won't) find Nintendo published games on this service. But games not published by Nintendo but happened to be on Nintendo consoles could still be licensed for AntStream.
Apparently part of the "game" is taking out children so I can see why Microsoft and Nintendo wouldn't want anything to do with this, and along with this media attention, I could see Sony say "Actually, no thanks".
My wife was quite confused as to why our Xbox One prompted her with this ad when loading up. All she wanted was to hop onto Netflix. The default login account on that box is a non-xbox live account. No Gold or anything. Haven't bought a game or anything. It only exists and is default so that I don't get booted out of my Series X if she were to start up my old Xbox One while I'm on the other box.
@StylesT I think what @KillerBoy was getting at was that your quick comment added nothing to the conversation, especially being the first comment. Adding what you don't like about Monster Hunter would have gone a long way to add to the topic of discussion.
This game brought us such great joy to see on Highlight Reel, like when the tanks would drive over and then under bridges instead of over and into the water, as if magnetized to the underside of the bridge. But I'm very happy for them as developers to see their game getting such love.
Sunset Overdrive. Loved the game through and through, and there is no NewGame+ feature. You actually have to delete your main character/save to start over again. Otherwise you can't play the first missions on a replay level list, and that list that does exist is only in alphabetical order. But the story was such a joy that I would enjoy playing over again as if it was the first time again.
That commercial, along with the Halo diorama commercial, was such perfect marketing and tone-setting. I wish Xbox would continue to do such advertising.
My day-one 360 held strong for so long but I did have it in an open air location. Around the last year of 360s being a thing it finally Red Ringed and I was able to take advantage of a free repair and shipping from Microsoft. I really appreciated that extra free warranty once they realized the scope of the problem, even if they didnt always know how to properly fix it vs just shipping another unit and hoping that was good enough
I didn't get to play and I only checked my old achievements now. I am missing the achievement but I also feel like I'm missing some others that I'm sure I've done, like "beat" the game. Better run through the game once more to make sure.
@Moonglow I feel bad for the internal Blizzard team working StarCraft that got fed up waiting for SC3 and quit to make their own RTS game. If only they knew. Maybe Microsoft can pick them all back up.
Does anyone know if the Monkey Island cosmetics will be gone for good soon, or if they will get shuffled down the Emporium, and possibly available for a year?
I don't care for the genre name of "immersive sim". That doesn't tell me anything (first person shooter? Got it.) or give me a reference to go lookup (Metroidvania? Got it).
"Immersive Sim" to me sounds just like a generic bullet point for any VR game.
I'm surprised no one here is talking about "The Lamplighters League" being it is made by the recent Shadowrun Trilogy team. I'm looking forward to this. Didn't know it was coming to GamePass.
@theduckofdeath but apparently not enough shares nor different enough from his usual sales to likely be a problem. Just poor timing.
But .. F Unity for this cruddy move
Comments on PCGamer we're talking about how a bad actor could bankrupt a developer simply by spinning up virtual machines and infinitely installing a game.
Shadowrun (360) had a crossplay achievement and it was easy enough to get the PC version and you were guaranteed to be playing with Xbox players because of the general population ratio of Xbox vs PC.
For those who don't know like I didn't off the top of my head, "VRR" is variable refresh rate, which may benefit particular games that pump out lots of frames but may be desired to be turned off if you are watching a movie.
@CutchuSlow There's one currently discounted (and another already free) DLC for Split Second on the marketplace, so you may want to grab those if you hadn't noticed.
@Fanat1c Hmm, I hadn't considered the green popping through from the black top, but I'm still looking forward to putting this on my Xbox. I do feel for those who have their XSX horizontal and also the XSS owners. They couldn't come up with one for that system? Odd.

Re: Xbox Celebrates New Series X Wraps With Free Dynamic Backgrounds
@eire-shabba It is way more than "just stickers" but they do seem more expensive than they should be. I still bought the Starfield one though.

I'll still give this a go but I'm sad that it doesn't sound like it fully hit the mark. Hopefully it can be patched to be even better.
