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

Stoned_Patrol

PS put a lot of great older games on their service... if you have never played any of the old first party or old bangers, PS+ has so many classic games you should most definitely enjoy.

Xbox doesnt have as many old classic games, but it does have a lot! N Xbox has made the old games run better n look amazing compared to the original versions.That really makes the older games much more playable.
Xbox Game Pass cant even really sa that they include all 1st party games day one, until they actually get some out n on the service (besides Halo, Gears, and Forza).
But XGP has been excellent at adding plenty of 3rd party games... some day n date, n some just a few months old, either way they consistantly are adding good games twice a month!!

XGP is better than PS+, and also only costs $9.99 not $18 a month... For $15 a month on Xbox you get a game sub service on console and on PC and get streaming on Xcloud (which has gotten some major upgrades!!)
XGP wins on price, content, and future content

@Markatron
My first time playing Extraction I hated it. Almost never played it again, but having not too much else to play got me trying it again.

The game is so much more fun if you play it the right way, you HAVE to play it STEALTH. Crouch walking at all times, and always using a silencer. The game takes a lot of communication or playing solo takes a lot of time. But if you play it that way, and get used or just dont give a ***** about the leveling up progression, I was in the later of those two haha. The game is much better than I thought at first... But it also does have some screwy missions that you can be unlucky to get to.
Not saying that you should try it again, but just saying that the game got me to think differently upon second play myself.

Re: It's Official, Grounded Launches On Xbox September 27th

Stoned_Patrol

This game has already came such a long way since its first game ptrview release... It's a fun game, n this final update looks to be huge. I'm really excited to build a crazy ass fortress this time.

Also, this game will continue to get plenty of updates. I am sure they will have updates at future xbox game shows just as often as Sea of Thieves.

Re: The Exciting Prospect Of ActiBlizz On Xbox Game Pass Is Starting To Feel Real

@Bleachedsmiles
Xbox does actually have a choice to honor existing deals or not.... Its called buying out a contract. You break the terms of the contract, then you have to pay whatever the agreed terms are for breaking the contract. The money Xbox has already put into the deal, they should buy out any deals with Sony. I am guessing they did not do this with Death Loop and Ghost wire was because the price of breaking the contracts would make it impossible to make any money on those games

"...and I say this as an OG xbox fan, because Phil Spencer mostly cancels and delays exclusives all the time, and never puts out decent exclusives, so if xbox fails again, like it did with xbox one, it will be a bad time to be an xbox fan."

LOOOOOL
Dude you are taking the cake for one of the funniest out of no where fan boy takes of the day.

Phil Spencer has not "canceled exclusives all of the time". What the hell are you talking about... I am guessing, Scale Bound?

Yeah he made a good decision by cutting his loses with that one and that BS studio Platinum. They took his money and made a game for someone else and just yanked his chain for a year or two.
He shoulda canceled CrackDown 3 at the same time.

I love how fanboys drop Phil's name like he is the reason (insert headline here) happened... Yes he is the big cheese at Xbox, but he is not responsible for every single decision at Xbox.
For having the second best last name in the video gamesbusiness (after Doug Bowser at Nintendo) Matt Booty should be the one getting fried a hell of a lot more than Phil should be. Phil got the money from Satiya and made the investments, Now it is up to Matty Boot to get these studios in gear and make 2022 history that never repeats it self again.

LoL calling yourself an Xbox fan then blurting out one of the worst takes I have ever seen in the comment section of any article on purexbox.com. Xbox One was a ***** gen for Xbox, and if it wasnt for Phil Xbox would be no more. I really do not count anything from that gen on Phil, The moves me made were all in attempts to un bury the brand as a whole. Xbox Series is Phil Spencer, and so far, coming off a generation as futile as the Xbox One gen... Xbox has no right to be killing it as hard as it is right now.

It has actually beat Sony in Japan multiple weeks this year, Sonys home country Japan...While having NO GAMES.

The worst thing Phil has done was be too nice. He should have paid to shred the contracts when he bought Bethesda and not honored ***** to Playstation. We would be sitting here with DeathLoop and Ghost Wire Tokyo. That was obviously not a money decision... but I am sure doing things like that has helped them pull off the largest acquisition in gaming history with Activision.

Word, I thought about it after I commented... I really only do the daily searches like once or twice a week. I mostly do the daily questions or polls and log ins, n get an achievement everyday.

I am honestly happy top hear that Xbox came up with a way to stop people rom making multiple accounts n working the system like that... Xbox is generous enough with MS Reward Points imo.

I didntknow about the 3 month rule with the credit though... So pretty much you dont wanna turn your points in for Xbox credit until you are ready to spend it, You can save up points for as long as you want though right?

I did the math after I wrote my comment too. 2 years of XGP Ultimate is already $360 right there. I for sure have claimed over $200 in gift cards too, like $30 here and $50 there over time.

I just dont remember when I started doing the MS Rwards points... But I bet their is a way to see everything I have claimed through it now that I think about it haha. Thank You so damn much Xbox for doing MS Rewards Points, I truly appreciate it!

@Dezzy70
Did you know "Dezzy" in Japanese means "Dumbed Down"...
It totally does.

LoL But for real, your way too long of comment on an article that has nothing to do with the subject of your comment... totally something a dumbed down person would do.

I hope someday youwill understand that Xbox does not make games "for Game Pass" meaning that if it is a game going straight into Game Pass that they are going to make it cheaper and the game being overall a lower quality.
That is just BS that Sony Fanboys got planted into your dumbed down brain.
Xbox is producing games and not rushing them out, instead making sure they are as good as they can be.

They want the games in Game Pass to be high quality... that is how they create value. Making dumbed down games... That is just a dumbed down idea.

If Xbox was more worried about putting out a first party game every couple months to make the Game Pass library look bigger and seem to have more content coming in constantly.... They would not have delayed Star Field and RedFall. Simple as that. The wouldnt have delayed Halo either.

Hopefully my manscape hedgetrimmer worked well enough and you didnt get a face full of my curlies when I tea bagged you over and over in this reply... If you likedthe trim, use code, "Xbox2" at checkout for free shipping and 10% off

Dude I am hardcore about MSRewards Points, I make sure to do the dailu polls and get an achievement every damn day. It has kept me a member of XGPU for over two years. Besides paying for my monthly Ultimate fee, I have gotten multiple Xbox Store gift cards, $20-$50 ones. But you are really tryin to say that you have paid for an Xbox Series X just with rewards points??? I really find that hard to believe. Mad congrats to you if you did though!

Damn well you must have really earned it honestly, I have been part of the the Insider Program for over 5 years and really try to take advantage of all of the previews and give feedback n stuff.

Re: Xbox Series X Can Run Windows 98, Along With Classic PC Games Of The Era

Stoned_Patrol

I was having trouble remembering some of my old favorite games as a kid, being 33 years old I most definitely remember the good old Windows 98 days.
I really can't seem to remember my OG games besides these couple of classics...
Sim City
Oregon Trail
Diablo

Can anyone make a small list of some of the best games that ran on Windows 98? I appreciate it.

I am not going to put my console into Dev Mode or use my Series X as an emulator machine. But I do find it fascinating that it is possible to do so much amazing emulation on the Series consoles! Compared to the other consoles out there and in the past, these Series consoles are incredible.

Re: Former Microsoft Exec Was Supposedly Team Lead On New 1 Vs. 100 Game

Stoned_Patrol

When they did not show anything on this during the June show I was really dissapointed, Specially with the show being all about the next year. I really thought they would have had at least a early version of this game ready to show and have it expected to be played for sure within a year of now.

This could be such a big hit! If they do it right, get a couple sponsors to give away prizes. I could see this even being big in Japan and helping sell consoles.
A fun game show, that they would probably have to do twice or three times a day. Where lets say you can win game currensy, because the more I think about it, it would be too many prizes to give out if they did prizers for all of the winner... Plus you wanna give a nice incentive for the 100 playing against the 1.
But yeah put stuff like controllers n XGP subscription codes in a prize section. The game would take off.
N if they really only did the game say at like 3:30 in the afternoon and again at 6:30 or 7:30 at night... I am sure their would eventually be a huge spike of people playing at those times if the game caught on.

I really hope Xbox wakes up and gets their game developers oiled up and pumpin out genuinely fun and quality games at a much more consistant pace. 2022 has been just waaay too much waiting around for next year. Not a fun feeling.

@GamingFan4Lyf
I am in the Insiders Program, even in the Alpha Skip Ahead ring. And I feel like they put random games in for testing so spuradically, and dont give me notifications or anything. That I will rarely get into Betas or testing without someone on here mentioning the game.

GamingFan4Lyfe, where do you go to check what actual new stuff is being tested on the latest updates we get? I know they have a Reddit page, But just curious if their is some where you find info on upcoming game testing or some *****... Thanks Buddy!

Re: Ubisoft Moves To $70 Price Point With Next-Gen-Only Skull & Bones

@GamingFan4Lyf
100% Sony started this ***** upcharge on games. And guess what, the developers are not seeing any of it.

Sony honestly said that they had to raise the price to $70 because it costs them so much more to create a game on this next generation of consoles... That is a steamin load of *****.

If anything, these new consoles and the newest version of these game engines... have tools to make creating games way easierthan ever before.

Sony, it's for the payers!

Re: Bright Memory: Infinite Finally Launches On Xbox This Month

Stoned_Patrol

They showed this game originally as it being an Xbox console exclusive, and was shown at a show that almost ever other game in it was going to be on Game Pass day one. So a lot of people thought this was going to be a Game Pass game, I even kinda forgot that it wasnt honestly. If it is not going to be exclusive at all for Xbox, then I really wish it was on Game Pass.

The game play I saw of the game about 3 months ago was really good. It gots me ready to buy this game for sure, but if it is not a full length game, I am not going to buy it for full price that is for sure

What kinda phone do you use when you use Xcloud on your phone? I have had such good experiences the handful of times I have played Xcloud on my 1+8 phone. It has 120fps, and if their is lag, I cant notice it... Even playing MLB The Show. N if their was lag on a baseball game, it wouldnt be playable. I do have Gigabyte internet though not sure if you do too.

Re: Xbox Launch Exclusive Warhammer 40K: Darktide Targets 60FPS On Xbox Series S

Stoned_Patrol

Xbox LAUNCH EXCLUSIVE??
I thought WarHammer Darktide was going to be an actualy exclusive game for Xbox consoles....
But now that I am thinking it through a little bit, I think I was under the impression that Warhammer was part of the Bethesda acquisition.
I have never played more than a game session or two of a few of the War Hammer games that were in Game Pass. But this new one, the trailer got me hyped! I guess Xbox just did a deal with War Hammer, because I recently saw them showcase all of the future games they are working on.
Xbox, please start making these deal legit exclusivity if they are not going to be permenantly exclusive. A three month exclusivity means very very little. I feel like when STALKER2 finally releases, and people realize that it is only on Xbox exclusively for 3 months, They are going to be pretty frustrated and PS fans are just going to talk ***** like they always do. But I really feel like Xbox should have paid for a full year of exclusivity.
I mean shoot, Sony is paying for two full years of exclusivity for Forespoken.... and lets not even get started about Sonys deal for Final Fantasy

@Lavalera
I was kinda unsure how much I would enjoy the BR part of it. But they do have a bot mode to get used to it, and after 2-3 o those I was worked up enough to try it against people...
I have actually won most of the games I have played, I have 4 wins and 2 loses (against humans not bots) just playing quick match(so you get team of three sometimes or just one vs. everyone)

I honestly forgot about the campaign, Also I was playing as part of the Beta so I could have been going agsint easier competition maybe, I dont no.
