Re: Xbox Owners Get Free PC Copies Of Select Ubisoft Games

Simu001

Ill be claiming avatar since on sereis X theres a flickering issue on the grass in the second map for me. Usually this wouldn't bother me but it is pretty severe in this case as the grass shadows flicker harder than any rave.

Edit: I just checked and Avatar isnt shown as free even though I own it on series x. Looks like I have to wait until sometime in August

Edit 2: None of my xbox ubi games that are on this list are free on ubisoft connect, I still have to buy them. Is this yet another North America only thing? Cant redeem valhalla, far cry 6, nor riders republic nor avatar. I own these on series x yet on ubisoft connect they dont show up in the library and in the store they still want me to pay for them. Accounts are linkes so no idea what is going on. Why is it so hard for simple stuff like this? Though it is ubisoft so not surprised

Re: Xbox CCO Says Not To 'Overly Fixate' On All Single-Player Games Being Exclusives

Xbox should rename themselves to vaguebox. They couldn't communicate things more complicated if they tried. It reads liem the results of a failed AI prompt to me. So now we have confused Microsoft and silent sony. This generation has started okayish and has now devolved into: "I'm tired boss". Just my meaningless 2 cents. Im glad I'm not an exec of either company.

Re: Video Game Retailer Urges Xbox To 'Stand Behind Consumer Choice' By Supporting Physical

Simu001

It sucks but the writing has been on the walls for a while now. Look at pc where digital is the norm. Difference is theres more than one storefront and you dont have to pay extra to play with your friends. The problem with consoles going digital is that you are forced to buy the a game from one source. When on pc you can find sales by just going to another storefront who happens to have it on sale. Where I live the same game costs more on PS and xbox than on steam (I'm purposefully leaving out resellers). Sony has stopped supoorting 3rd parzy stores from selling their digital games just to force a monopoly. It is what is. So since all of my friends are playing on pc mostly I'll just join them. Luckily enough my PC won't need an upgrade for the next 5 years or so

Re: Xbox CEO Sets Ambitious Goal Of Reaching 'More Than A Billion People Each Day'

Simu001

Yet they gut their studios and cancel projects left and right. Focusing on AI and gamepass. Yeah good luck with that xbox. You've lost me as a customer. I only come here for reviews (because you guys do great reviews along your sister sites) and news about indies I might have missed. Anything else I'm done with. Same with Sony. I'll stay with my series X and base PS5 and that's it. Dont care anymore about AIHelix or whater they'll call it. Dont care about 1000 bucks ps6 with no disc drive. Nintendo I'll keep an eye on but so far their games have become idk unfinished feeling if that makes sense. I guess I'm now at a point where I've fallen out with a hobby of mine. Oh well life goes on. I wish you guys all the best

Re: Three Aims Detailed By Asha Sharma For The 'Most Significant Restructure In Xbox History'

Simu001

Good luck with reaching a billion people when the industry is in the state it is in. People cant afford the consoles or pc components tganks to AI. Just think if microsoft struggles as a big firm then what about us normal peeps? So slaughter your workforce and in the same breath state an unrealistic goal..... Icannot with this brand anymore. Im done with the next generation. No helix or ps6 or switch 3 (whatever nintendo is planning.)I'll ride this gen out and focus on pc if the prices allow me (highly doubtful at this point).

Re: Rumour: Halo Being 'Heavily Evaluated' At Xbox, But Remains Key Part Of Future Plans

Simu001

I wonder if studio 343 has the talent to make an original Halo game that can come close to the og trilogy. I doubt it. The gaming landscape has changed drastically. Look at halo infinite and its frankly garbage story. Confused storytelling with characters that came out of spin off games. They should've rebooted it or focus on other main characters like odst and reach. Microsoft is throwing everything at the wall hoping something sticks but nothing is sticking.

Re: Xbox Issues Statement After Pulling Out Of Project Fantasy

Simu001

@xboxisking Parfect Dark and Everwild. Plus I'm still mad at scalebounds cancelation even though that has been a while. Plus now Blade if its true which I was looking forward to. Contraband also sounded interesting but got shafted. We will most likely never get another double fine experience. The john Romero game they pulled away from. Wouldn't suprise me if they cancel state of decay 3 too

Re: Xbox Issues Statement After Pulling Out Of Project Fantasy

Simu001

Dont worry guys we're just cancelling all the interesting games and shuttering our studios, but dont worry. The next call of duty will be good please buy it. Both $ony and Micro$oft are doing everything in their power to make this hobby as unappealing as possible. Series X and PS5 are my last consoles from them.

Re: Marvel's Blade Reportedly In Danger As Xbox Considers Shutting Arkane Studios

Simu001

From now on I'll treat every xbox game trailer not as a game reveal, but as a buy the studio reveal. Here is what we could work on so please buy us. Atleast buying activision was worth it with the well received black ops game. Microsoft and Sony have both done way too much damage. So many fantastic studios closed. No wonder when games cost 1000 of millions to make. Because every game has to sell like gta.

Re: Xbox Expects The 'Component Crisis' To Get Worse For Consoles In 2027

Simu001

Oh no we've built too many AI centers and now the components for.our gameconsole are too expensive. Please guys be sorry for us and pre order now to get it guaranteed on launchweek!

Whenever I read a microsoft statement about components being too expensive I just imagine the south park BP guy rubbing his nips and going sorry over and over again. I'm getting more and more over gaming in general. Prices are getting insane, AI everywhere and the quakity of the games has been declining to a point where getting a game day one is just a guarantee for a broken experience. Add in ridiculous microtransaction practices, season passes where they dont make sense and a focus on live services. It's exhausting. It's getting really hard to become excited about any gaming news. When some cool projects get canceled anyways and amazing studios get closed. All of this is the reson why I stop commenting most of the time becuase I'm just too jaded and pessimistic about the whole state of affairs. Maybe one day things will get better but I don't see it yet.

Re: No Law Aims For 'Quality Over Quantity' With Its Cyberpunk Open World On Xbox Series X|S

Simu001

@Cooe I think the smaller scale will be better. The fact that cyberpunk needed 3 years to get to the promised point says everything. Smaller and more focused or quality over quantity. Also the story of cyberpunk didn't grab me at all and I found all characters to be either annoying or just unlikable except jsckie who became our friend not through gameplay but a clipshow and then they kill him off early. In my eyes cyberpunk is the weakest CD project offering by a large margin. Though I dont wanna take away from your enjoyment at all. We all have different tastes as it should be.

Re: Destiny 2 Is Reaching End-Of-Life Status, And There's No Sign Of Destiny 3 Yet Either

Simu001

What about the vaulted content? I played destiny 2 on launch same as D1 and both launches were bad. D2 even more so for me since it seemed that they didn't learn at all from D1. Now the original campaign is gone. I jumped in for a moment for forsaken. But the next time I palyed again all that was gone too and suddenly I had to partake in a story that made no sense and had to deal with characters I couldnt care about even if the game.tried to make them seem important. The onboarding for D2 is just liek warframes. Horrendous and I don't think they can fix that.

Re: Rumour: Fable Has Apparently Been Delayed Internally, But May Still Launch In 2026

Simu001

Just release GTA 6 already so the rest of the industry can release their games. I'm so tired of this lets avoid gta mindset. Because then all the other games release at the same time. So first no games then all the games at once. All because of stupid gta. They dont treat cod or any other big franchise this way but oooohhhh gta gets the extra special treatment. -.-
