Wow I read your comment wrong!! I thought you said the Expansion hard drive was actually going to be on sale during Black Friday!!
Definitely agree that the Seagate cards really need to get a major price drop, I have already fully decided I am not buying one until they do bring them down $50 or more, I want the 1TB for $150 or less

Wow you knew about AH for the last 5 years?! I have been following AH for about 3 years, I was Soooo stoked when they first showed AH at the Xbox Series showcase and it showed that it was coming to Game Pass!
It's so epic to see all of the ups n downs this games production has been through, and now soon to finally come out... This game is going to blow up thanks to Game Pass n it's uniqueness/high quality

Re: Modern Warfare 2's Latest Update Is Over 40 Times Larger On Xbox Than PlayStation

Stoned_Patrol

People saying Sony has better compression tech than Xbox... Even if that was the case, their is zero chance it is over 50 times better than Xbox's compression. The Series X has more power and more software features. That is not the compression, but their is no excuses for a patch being 50gb vs less than 1gb. The devs really probably should not have even pushed the patch through until they optimized it properly for all platforms.

If it was the other way around and PS had a 50gb update I would feel the same way.
These next gen consoles have proper SSD hard drives, but both PS n Xbox don't come with enough storage to be having games that start at 100gb then put out patches that are 50gb, that's messed up

Re: Interview: 'High On Life' Dev Talks Xbox, Game Length And Living Up To The Hype

Stoned_Patrol

Kinda a weird realization, Comedy is not really a big genre when it comes to games... like at all. N you would really think that it would be honestly. I am super excited for this game, even more stoked it is in Game Pass and a console exckusive! I forgot about that until this short interview.

Ponies are going to come out bashing the game at release.
Then 3 to 6 months later when it comes to PS, they will be jocking the game hard. Very similar to Tunic earlier this year haha

Re: Eight Games Are Leaving Xbox Game Pass Today (October 31)

Second Exctinction... I remember being SSSOOO excited for that game to come out haha! And it was certainly an early access gamel I really wanted that game to get its finishing touches! It did have potential, just needed more content n a little polish.

I wish the devs of the game the best of luck, and I hope the game does get its finishing touches

Re: Rumour: Crash Bandicoot, Spyro Dev Is Already Working On Call Of Duty Warzone 2.0

Stoned_Patrol

It's funny that on this very siote maybe 6 months ago they had a detailed report going over how Toys for Bob and Beenox both have already been fully dissolved with the studio lead not working their anymore. At the time they had been integrated with the Diablo 4 team before going over to CoD.
In that article the former members of Toys for Bob straight up stated that their was pretty much not possible to get the original TFB team back together sadly.

Re: Call Of Duty Will Be 'Restricted' On Xbox Game Pass, Confirms Microsoft

Stoned_Patrol

The way PlayStation is acting and causing all this trouble for the deal purposely.... even when Xbox has offered to keep the game on PS for 3 extra years after this ongoing deal....

Now they find out Sony is cock blocking CoD on Game Pass no matter what untill 2024/2025?

Hahaha Dude Sony is making their bed... And Xbox is going to fill it up with fresh steaming dog sh it for being such A Holes.

That 3 year deal needs to be off the table completely, if they are going to cock block Game Pass.
That, or Xbox just needs to pay whatever it costs to break the deal between Activision n Sony.

Re: Ubisoft's Skull & Bones Delayed, Now Releases In March 2023

Stoned_Patrol

When I saw this headline today on Kinda Funny's Youtube channel headline, I just started laughing my ass off and couldnt help but think, "of course this is getting delayed again!". I am surprised I didnt see this coming. But I guess since it has been already delayed for so damn long, I thought the game would have been ready to go by now.

I am guessing the preorders were super low so they decided everyone else in the industry was right, and launching this ***** the day before GOW Ragnarok probably was a horrible idea.

Re: Intense Free-To-Play Shooter 'The Finals' Looks Chaotic In First Full Trailer

Stoned_Patrol

They 100% should have used thattrailer instead of the uber quick one that showed nothing at GamesCom opening night live. The showing they had at GamesCom got absolutely no one excited for their game, and no one knew what kind of game it even was. This trailer got me excited from beginning to end... Excellent trailer, and I wish the Beta was available on Xbox haha. But this game is fully on my radar now.

Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon In October 2022

Stoned_Patrol

After looking a few of the random ones up I saw a trailer of a game I can not wait to play in "Early 2023"!!! FLINTLOCK! That game is looking really really good! As a console exclusive too.... I feel like Xbox is going to get some major hype once that game gets a real release date and comes to Xbox/Game Pass

Re: Five Xbox-Related Events To Watch Over The Next Few Days

Stoned_Patrol

@Ashadelo @FraserG
Hmmmm I wonder what could have happened in current events that could have had any impact on a game that features Russia being the bad guys in a game, that features a secret service type agency shooting these Russian bad guys with a Golden Gun...???

Yeah, that game sadly wontr be any time soon... Xbox knows they arent going to really make much money off Golden Eye. It is just some content(which Xbox has known it's needed all year), and that to a small fan base will be hyped for sure but it wont sell more than 2 million even.

Xbox and Microsoft wont get involved in any way with PR like that. They have an acquisition to get approved haha.

Golden Eye wont come out until the war is over, the anniversary passed already so I dont see much hope it comes out this year sadly

Re: PlayStation Is Adding Its Own Version Of Microsoft Rewards This Year

Stoned_Patrol

@Decoy_Snake
The first thing you think about when you think about Xbox is how they "normalized" subscriptions?? Hmmmm That's weird, I think about how they got the FPS genre finally playing properly compared to how well it played on PC before Halo. Halo was the first game to give FPS proper console controls, the same ones we are all still using today for the most part.
Or how Xbox actually normalized online game play. PlayStation did have SOCOM Navy Seals first, I had it and loved it. But hey did not start making more games after that game came and went. Once Xbox live was going, Xbox made it a regular feature on most games to be able to play online... Something that you really could not see gaming not have today.
Xbox and all of the gaming indusry have migrated towards subscription service based models, Fortnite, the most popular game in the world, 100% has made service based battle passes and seasons a regular part of the game industry. It is just how gaming has evolved as of now.

PlayStation is making the subscription and live service gaming soon to be front and center as the complete main aspect of how they are going to be monetizing PS. I guess we will see how that works out for them.

Re: Reaction: Death Stranding's Reception Makes Us Very Excited For Kojima + Xbox

Stoned_Patrol

I do wish it would have been the "Directors Cut" version of the game. But I personally do not have my new gaming rig anywys for the time being.

But when I get a new 3090, and already have Game Pass Ultimate thanks to MS Rewards Points. I will give this game a spin.

I clearly remember the launch of this game, and just how hyped everyone was for it. Then it comes out.... and lets just say, it did not hit the ground running but more so hit the ground like a sopping wet towel haha.
I watched multiple people play it and their receptions were all like "uhhh what the hell, Where is the game?" and "This cut scene has been 20 minutes and shows no sign of stopping" LOL That is how Kojima games are though... He loves creating these super long cut scenes, he will be making full length movies for the cinema before his career is over 100%.

The main game play mechanic of walking while trying to maintain these packages that throw you off balance... that really does seem like it could be a very short lived experience as far as the fun factor. BUTT I could also see the narrative and the community aspect of building things that will show up in other peoples games and visa versa, being a pretty cool and hopefully motivating and compelling thing... I am looking forward to someday seeing how it works with me (but I am not super excited to where I am working hard to get to play the game or anything either)

Another great job for the Game Pass team and whoever got this deal to go through. This and MLB The Show has got to PISS OFF SONY execs like no other lol! PlayStation curated content being utilized in Xbox Game Pass in anyway, even if it is just in the PC library, is the last place they want to see content they spent large chunks of investment money in being at.

Re: Halo Infinite Campaign Co-Op Won't Feature Online Matchmaking

Stoned_Patrol

@RedSabat @InterceptorAlpha @Would_you_kindly

Cool it's all good that they stopped doing split screen, The industry has pretty much fazed out split screen as a whole honestly.
Also even if Halo does not feature a way to get match made with randoms to play co op campaign... It is very easy to just use the feature that is available for any game on Xbox, where you make a post looking for people to play with. You can put filters on your requests like having a mic as a must have... So this whole article is kinda mute if you actually know how to navigate your Xbox a little bit.

Re: Talking Point: How Would You Compare The New PS Plus To Xbox Game Pass?

@BartoxTharglod
"I earn $60 an hour"... lol nice not so humble brag guy.
And me spending 5 minutes a day and getting paid in git crds to play games is how I choose to pay for XGP Ultimate.

I went to medical school n work at a hospital and do just fine myself. It doesn't matter how much money you make, having the opportunity to get XGP by playing games daily is awesome! I love that that is a thing... and I love that people like you would rather pay cash, that keeps it viable for MS to let us pay with rewards points
