@TheAleks Same here...don't have the "deal for you" in the shop(whether searching "red" "red dead" and "red dead redemption."

Even tried remote installing it from the Xbox app....doesn't work.

Can install the 360 version just fine though.

What the hell

Makes me think of the "premium" Xbox PC hybrid they are supposedly working on. I hope this points to them having a better "Xbox" experience on the Rog.

If Microsoft/Xbox is able to somehow keep a console experience seen with their previous consoles while also giving owners the ability to do everything a PC can do, then their next console may be quite interesting.

I have the same hopes others do that the next Xbox could pique the interest of pre-built PC buyers and those who want an aesthetic pleasing box for their living room with less fuss of traditional PCs.

Though we do have Steam Deck among others that are pretty much doing that already.

More competition is good!

@GameOverScreen At least you're honest and self aware 😂

@Lup

Agree with you up to the end...

DA: Inquisition was a return to form. Even Dragon Age 2 still had more tactics/party mechanics than DA:V, I'd argue.

The players' party members felt like they had little effect compared to previous game. To me anyhow.

I'd argue the gameplay was better than DA 2(since they are the most alike) and for a game to turn into more of an action RPG, I'd argue they did accomplish that. Gameplay was great and fun, just less "Dragon Age-ish."

Wish more games added an unlocked fps mode for future consoles.

It's neither the dumpster fire some claimed it to be nor a great RPG hidden by the YouTube algorithm.

Going from Inquisition(a game that also had some attack it due to politics) to Veilguard is quite a rough ride.

I feel bad for the developers that had to abandon the multiplayer slop it was almost destined to be and somehow salvage what little was left after the 180 sharp right turn dictated by those in upper management.

Would love an Xbox handheld that is basically a Series S: with access to all the same titles on the Xbox store.

@RIghteousNixon

I guess everyone loves BGS games for different reasons.

What exactly do you love about the game?

@Master_Cthulhu70 "most people"

I find it hilarious both the haters and defenders claim to know "most" of the people who've played the game.

Instead of just "most" of those they agree with.

@RIghteousNixon Starfield felt more like Outer Worlds, small zones, than any previous BGS games.

Exploration was a huge let down, and I'm not sure how anyone could disagree.

I'd like it more if it was at least like Daggerfall as far as the "dungeons" go.

@hbkay Stop acting like a 13 year old.

Nice to see Dead Space added. Was hoping it'd come out before the end of the year, perfect timing with Halloween!

@Wheatly It's a game. Saying you need it sounds pathetic.

@Missiletow

He isn't involved in anything remotely close to calling any shots. And he most certainly isn't deciding if a game pass trial is ended or not.

There's a board and CEO and shareholders. It's a corporation. End of story.

@tallythwack Patience will continue to be the best defense and offense as a gamer.

@NEStalgia Corporate may indeed turn MS into the next Sega. Or the next game company that sells all their IPs...or holes them in the dusty closet for the foreseeable future.

@Fishticon Unless Starfield ends up like FO76(and all "journalistst" and new media tubers walking on eggshells when trying to praise it...which is hilarious) there's no chance it'll suddenly stop being talked about in two weeks, let a few years.

I can respect those who aren't fans of BGS games, but their games have a long shelf life. People still discuss Daggerfall up to FO4.

I'm skeptical that SF will be "the most polished" game, but if it is anywhere near similar to Elder Scrolls or Fallout..it'll be talked about for decades.

@PROPS Gotta say, It's good fun to screw around in forums between game release.

@Missiletow And forgetting he doesn't run it nor has much influence in over 15 years.

Not a fan of Gates in anyway, but it makes me chuckle when people say/think Bill is somehow making all the decisions at M$ that they hate.

@Wheatly "Need" ? 😆

@sjbsixpack As soon as Americans kicked the British out over taxes...there was a tax rebellion that Washington extinguished. 😆

Then the USA's tax system became progressively worse in so many directions since the 1900s. Add subsidies on top of that, along with tax program companies lobbying Congress, and you got a pile of $#it no one wants to really change. Rearrange with mostly the same blocks? Always. Change? Absolutely not.

@theduckofdeath What about the PS2 disappointed you? Only curious, it's subjective.

It was a huge leap from PS1 to 2. And like the PS1 there was a huge variety of games of every genre.

I did love that the OG Xbox was beefier for games like Morrowind to be playable on it. And damn did PGRacing look amazing.

I'll consider grabbing one when the 1TB card has the price of the current 512.

I wonder if MS is making much profit from these after the manufacturer takes their share.

@Tharsman The biggest feature of achievements/trophies I like is the given % or how many completed it. Wouldn't mind if MS added the PSN feature of different tiers of achievements.

Gamerscore/PSN levels are pretty meaningless.

@rustyduck I may be wrong, but I don't think things like that would need to be reported unless you got several thousands of dollars in rewards.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I know with crypto some people thought that's how it works, but there are now specific tax laws about crypto.

Haven't heard the same about small rewards(a couple hundred bucks at the most when you redeem your points for GP/gift cards/ etc.).

@Raw_Dawg MS is giving you X amount of dollars through this reward, which doesn't re-up your GP membership per year, but "for life" all at once.

MS will claim they gave you X amount of $$$ of value when they file their corporate taxes.

@somnambulance reminds me of when Oprah gave cars to everyone in the audience.

Fracked up several with taxes

I had like 52 weeks if I'm remembering correctly. Definitely was higher than 1 😆

I hope MS's acquisition of ActiBlizz goes through. I also wouldn't mind Sony buying SquareSoft...I mean enix 😅

I have enjoyed VS....but it's an over glorified mobile/web game.

It's "addictive" for sure...."Number go up" then you get some dopamine.

It's why so many mobile games can make gangbusters on microtransactions. VS just removed that shady side of those kind of games.

The Cookie Clicker of console games.

There's many more Indie games that released this year that are less shallow.

Wonder if the SMT III: Nocturne remaster will ever get an xbox release

I was pleasantly surprised with Colt Canyon.

However...I really wise they'd go back to adding of Xbox and 360 games. Even if it's a repeat as I jumped back into the Xbox ecosystem with XSX and of course missed most of the BC games that were given through GwG.a

@gogolpoe past Xbox would never have exclusives? What are you talking about?
