Re: Xbox Announces Gears Of War: Reloaded, Releasing Summer 2025

@Romans12 that makes it sound worse imo. I mean couldn't they just upgrade the ultime version instead of making a whole new version? Idk I just find it very hard to get excited for this when so many "reputable sources" said we'd get the trilogy. It reminds me of the wind waker HD/twilight princess HD topic on the switch....

Re: Here's How The New Xbox Prices Compare To PS5 & Nintendo Switch 2

Simu001

puts tinfoil hat on Microsoft wants out of the console market. So they raise the price to ruin their sales even more. That way they can say "oh we didnt sell enough blah blah blah. We cant make consoles because nobody buys blah blah blah." They are gonna put the blame on us consumers for not blindly buying. removes tinfoil hat Im glad I got my X close to launch... this is just pure greed from team green.

Re: Three Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (April 8)

Simu001

South of midnight is really good. Of you already know your southern folklore itnmight be even better. As a swiss citizen two toed tom and the likes are an unknown to me so its interesting to learn about these creatures and haints. You can turn off the stop motion effect for gameplay, not for cutscenes though so keep that in mind if you get motion sick easily.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2's Crazy Game Prices Could Be Terrible News For Xbox Fans

Simu001

Here in switzerland base games already cost 80 chf so the nintendo prices are sadly just normal now. Gaming is now a luxury hobby. Rich people only. Yay.... I'm so tired of being price gouged at every corner. Even my little escapism is becoming unsustainable. Oh and lets not forget how often games are flatout broken on launch..... 😪

Re: INZOI Launches To 'Very Positive' Reviews Ahead Of Planned Xbox Release

Simu001

@Gmork Inzoi has a huge hype surrounding ever sind it was announced. The sims community is huge and I zoi is touted as the sims killer. So yeah it's not that surprising that it's pushing huge sales number. AC shadows on hte other hand is also available on ubisoft connect and is available on ubisoft+ (subscription service). Many ubisoft games on steam have Issues because you need to link ubisoft connect and steam and this leads to many problems. This is not just the case for AC shadows but every ubisoft game. I have shadows on ubisoft connect and not on steam due to this connection/linking issues. So steam numbers for ubisoft games aren't the tell all.
Edit: also franchise fatigue is a factor too.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Racks Up One Million Players In Less Than 24 Hours

I like it better than valhalla which is a suprise to me considering I love the old norse setting/mythology. Also lets not forget ubisoft games thanks to ubisoft connect often have issues on steam. I got it on ubisoft connect and have had no issues so far. Though im not very far in yet. Performance has been flawless. Only thing I don't like is the pricing amd usual ingame store nonsense, but it is what it is.

Re: Elden Ring Nightreign Continues The Saga On Xbox This May

Simu001

Man they are doi g everythi g in their power to make me not want to play it. Roguelite and only being able to play alone or with 2 randoms is such a bad idea. What makes the souls games so amazing is their hand crafted nature. Also coop its either 3 or nothing what ki d of bs is that? C'mon now. People modded elden ring so you can play together. You're telling me a handful of people can do what a big company cant? I just hope taht all who get it have fun and get a wonderful experience. I'll be waiting for the next offering.

Re: Review: Indiana Jones And The Great Circle (Xbox) - A MachineGames Misfire

Simu001

ACG a Reviewer who's view align most of the time.with mine gave it a wait for a sale. It seems the game has issues with ai. In the clips he showed it was really bad and very noticable. I personally have not as big of an interest in this game. I like indy but this doesn't interest me. I hope that all playing have a blast and those that bought full price, get their money's worth.

Re: Xbox Hardware Revenues Down Again Despite Content & Services Growth

Simu001

No surprise really when we consider the entire year in terms of news and the way xbox and microsoft talked about things. The brand isn't what it used to be or atleast it feels like the brand is "dying". Meanwhile sony while making mistakes aswell is selling the ps5 like hotcakes. Nintendo still riding the switch as steady as can be. Sad to see xbox losing steam but until microsoft figures out what it wants to do with the brand, not much will change. Even cod on gamepass won't change that.

Re: Talking Point: How Do You Feel About Xbox's ActiBlizz Deal One Year On?

Simu001

I don't feel a difference. The outcry and all the articles leading up to the deal, made it feel like it is this big monumental paradigm shift. In truth it seems to be little more than a splash in the ocean. I am aware that it takes time to get stuff going but the deafening silence isn't sparking much confidence in me. It really feels liek microsoft gave up on xbox. The bark and bite from the original xbox and xbox 360 days seems to be all but gone. I don't care for console war nonsense, but good competition leads to innovation and good games. Come on microsoft make us excited about xbox again.....
