@oopsiezz Like many people have already stated to you ...the developer made a deal for the game to be on gamepass ....people pay for gamepass ....
think my missus would question my sanity if I told her I had also payed for a game I am currently playing on a paid subscription for and have no intention to play again once I've completed it
......I guess Xbox will just have to make do with the money from the many other games I buy...the subscription to gamepass I've had running since it was introduced ...the 17 years of Xbox live...and currently 4 series consoles in my house .....it hurts my soul that I am a part of this so called 'problem'
P.s playstation have to buy games because their service is *****(and yes I have it)....and yes all us sane playstation owners would defo be playing all their first party games if they offered them on a subscription day one (obviously), but we have no choice but to buy them to play(I actually rent alot...guess I'm part of the problem for them too )...Xbox gives you that choice
Sounds to me like you are just terrible with money
P.s so you clocked up 208 days of gaming on Xbox alone in a year...not taking into consideration sleep ...mate you have much bigger concerns other than what strangers spend their money on
@oopsiezz Lmao so if I bought 3rd party games that I'm already paying to play on a subscription...then Xbox wouldn't lose their 'identity' ....quite the take ....Xbox have literally just had their best month in a long time arguably....but sureeeeeeeee
Think the gaming world gets enough of my money thanks without basically paying twice to play a game
@oopsiezz So by your logic you should buy every game you play on gamepass if you like it? Why would I bother paying for a subscription service if that was the case ? That's what demos are for...you do you ..but don't expect people to piss away unnecessary money on top of the service they are already paying for
Isn't usually my kinda game but I just finished chapter one ..enjoying it...I am playing on story difficulty though lol...long gone are the days were id play everything on the hardest difficulty
End of the day does it really make a difference if Xbox former exclusives go to playstation? It doesn't make a difference to the game we are playing ......if Xbox is taking in big bucks from playstation...then that means more games developed and more games on gamepass day one
Clair obscur wouldn't be my usual type of game ..but I certainly am intrigued by it after playing about 6 hours....one of them games I find myself thinking about playing when I finish work ...so must be decent lol
Well long may it continue ...because I play alot more games for alot less money through subscription....I have no desire to own most games ..I will play them untill I've had my fill then move on
Did the prologue ...not sure what I make ofit yet ....the story has me slightly intrigued ... definitely will play some more and see how I get on ....probably not my usual kind of game but definitely going to give it a fair crack given the reviews
Why would Microsoft drop oblivion the day before this ..bet the developers aren't to happy about that....I have about 5 games I want to play right now FFS...this wasn't even one I thought I would play tbh with so many games on my plate ..but after all the brilliant reviews ..this game is going to be the one I'm playing...hope I can get into it
Erghhh... seriously just to many games it's getting annoying ...wanted to play Avowed, Atomfall and maybe even South of midnight ...I only just started on assassin's creed Shadows after finally finishing Kingdom come 2 the other week
Must be setting records ...17 years on Xbox live and never got one of these.....I remember my missus getting one 2 months after she signed up though haha
Highly doubt I will play it...might be alright for those looking for nostalgia....but surely everything else is going to feel so dated...and not in a nice retro way lol
Why I gave up with Microsoft rewards quite a while back now ..used to do them daily for a long time....but the cooldown on searches just really killed it for me...used to bash them all out after work or wateva ...but just so tedious with the cooldowns etc
Kinda tempted to buy this ....not sure if it's my thing necessarily...but I could imagine my missus living on this kinda game for a month or so(if it was as on console) untill she has had enough lol..
Seriously far to many games for people who work full time and also have family's etc...im only over half way through Kingdom come 2....and I've been playing alot more than I usually would this past week or so trying to get through some ofit ...and i would ideally like to play assassin creed, Atomfall and also give this a go ....and I did plan to play Avowed ...but got a feeling the ship might have sailed for Avowed
Oh while also trying to squeeze in bits of split fiction with the missus at weekend
Glad the people who are actually playing it are seemingly enjoying it ...while the predictable people who aren't playing it are automatically writing it off with there predictable cliche criticisms.
I bought a new laptop and got a free copy so I may jump in tonight....not a huge assassin's creed fan but I've played and complete quite a lot of them
Sheep gonna sheep ....I own a gaming laptop, ps5 and several Xbox series consoles.....playstation really isn't anything special to be outselling the Xbox by such a margin ...I mean now that Xbox is basically 3rd party there's a lot bigger argument to say if you are going to get one or the other you might aswell get playstation.....but depends on what you want....cause you obviously are getting all the games Xbox now owns at no extra cost on game pass(if a member) ....which you will have to pay for on playstation
A game I will almost be definitely be buying day one on playstation....one of the few exclusives (at the time) on playstation that I found not to be massively overhyped ...might not be to everyone's taste but was different and I really enjoyed it
People seemingly wanting Rocksteady closed and wondering why they didn't get put on the chopping block......Probably because Rocksteady made three brilliant games before they where FORCED to make a live service game
Yes I am sure they are ...well the ones under a certain age....both my kids don't do single player games....like a foreign concept to them...just sit playing fortnite ...sprinkled with odd occasion of GTA online
Just give me a Xbox handheld for next gen...a native one ...maybe equivalent to what the series s is now but in a handheld form...that works next to whatever the next Xbox series x will be
@KillerBoy If only I could get them 2 minutes back.....
So in your mind the guy who has made an account for a website dedicated to a console he doesn't even own ..yet logs in on the regular to make negative remarks about said consoles he doesnt own for going on 2 years isn't sad ...
But someone who notices said person and took a huge 2 mins to confirm their suspicions needs to touch grass ?
Well I think anyone who hasn't suffered a serve head injury knows who is the one who definitely needs to touch grass and take a long look at their life
Maybe you could lend me them 2 minutes back? Got this crazy theory that you have a lot of free time on your hands
@KillerBoy I am assuming all this irony is lost on you ..enjoy you wierd obsession with a plastic box you don't own ...hope slagging it off pleases your playstation...freak
@KillerBoy 2 mins to go through a sad super ps fanoy who sits on an Xbox website trashing Xbox on a daily basis ...Yuh huh I am the one who needs to touch grass.....enjoy your single bed cool kid
Try not to worry this much about the plastic box mummy didn't buy you for Christmas ..let's all hope we can get as much sunlight as they guy who makes an account for a product he doesn't own to trash it ...you are going to make your internet gf a lucky lady one day
@KillerBoy Well I am not shocked as I just looked at your comment history....do you even own an Xbox lmao...cause I haven't seen one comment yet that isnt negative...oh except the ones ones about playstation ...shock horror
P.s this game literally has been praised graphics wise from digital foundry but okay
But you was slagging this game off months before it came out soo it probably could of been the best game ever and you still wouldn't have been happy:)
Sounds like it's even better than the reviews suggest ... unfortunately I can't jump in as I'm playing Kingdom come 2....and the games are to similar for me to be playing both at same time
Was never expecting this game to be anything special graphics wise ..so nice suprise ....this game has come at a bad time for me....as I am trying my best to play Kingdom come 2....and I feel this game is to similar to start it up while playing that .. hopefully I will get around to avowed in the future though
Xbox finally gets into a position to constantly release good exclusives on the regular ....and they go third party at the same time playstation exclusive line up and shows are constantly looking poor and reliant on remasters and ironically Xbox games and other third party ....can't remember the last time ps had a good show ....but still given what Xbox has decided to do.....ps6 will have to be my main console next gen ...just makes more sense
More of the same ...solid 7....Sniper elite 5 was the first one I really got into and got all the achievements...and made me go and buy 3 and 4...so I'm kinda burnt out abit now...completed resistance though ...decent enough ...more buggy than the others...had several instances of invisible walls or not being able to climb off a ladder ..none of which I ever got in 5 which I played on release
I predict 82 on meta...on another note there really are to many games... especially for people who work and have family etc ..I've barely touched Kingdom come deliverance 2...and Avowed is to similar of a game for me to be playing both at the same time ...then there's the new like a dragon I wanted to play ...did kinda want to try that Citizen sleeper 2 aswell .....arghhhhh
Also I just rented Madison vr ..which I probably will just send back at this rate lol
Yes I've bought it ...haven't played to much ..seems decent but same time don't know if I will see it through ...I hope i do but ATM I can only play it in small doses
To many games ....just finished Indiana Jones ..half way through sniper elite ..and also bought Kingdom come deliverance 2...which will be somewhat similar to avowed ....arghhhhh
Yup like I have said many times...it's took Xbox so so long to get into this position to finally release quality exclusives on the regular and be in a strong position to compete on that front ...and they go third party....it is what it is....just makes it seem pretty pointless to get the next Xbox if you are only going to get one console
