Do people realize that one company can have multiple product and service offerings? If cloud gaming isn’t for you, it’s not for you! Stick to Series X!
Tired of this generation of whiners. Always something to nitpick, always something to moan about. I had to delete my Twitter this morning because that’s all they do on there.
Xbox Fitness was also one of the best home workout services, even compared to those that exist today. And the Reddit community that was built around it was second to none.
It’s Hi-Fi Rush, not Halo or God of War. I don’t get the overreaction. It’s a smaller game that you most likely have already played (and I won’t be surprised if some of the complainers haven’t) and it looks like a perfect candidate to be multi-plat. With Xbox buying publishers, it was inevitable for them to release multi-plat games. At least we got it “free”.
How does having Activision on Game Pass damage competition in cloud gaming? Does Activision have a competing service? Do they have any significant cloud infrastructure? Doesn’t blocking the deal mean GeForce Now and other cloud gaming companies lose out on Activision games? Lol blocking the deal based on exclusives and IPs would’ve made more sense.
I've lost interest in Rick and Morty over the past couple of years, and the idea of hearing Morty's annoying voice constantly is holding me back from downloading this. May still give it a try, but I'm really not looking forward to that voice.
I see people complain about combat, but I don’t remember ever having an issue with it. I got a thrill out of trying to survive and not get killed, so I didn’t get any sense of it being repetitive or boring.
I actually really liked most of the Xbox One features — Snap, Kinect voice control, HDMI passthrough, OneGuide. They were great ideas, just poorly executed.
@blinx01 My Series X is set up as my home console and I noticed during an internet outage last month that I couldn't play any of the games I downloaded from Game Pass. Tested it last week again and I had the same issue.

Re: Ubisoft Delays Large-Scale Game, Reports Suggest It's Star Wars Outlaws
@AverageGamer I know. I’m just saying that the one of the 20 identical shooters that was canceled was actually Hyenas and not XDefiant
Re: Ubisoft Delays Large-Scale Game, Reports Suggest It's Star Wars Outlaws
@Tasuki I believe you’re thinking of Hyenas.

Re: BioShock Infinite's 'Columbia' Is One Of The Best Game Worlds Ever To Grace Xbox

Tried the demo and quit after 5 minutes. I could tell it was going to be a frustrating experience.
Re: Microsoft Refers To Lack Of Xbox Exclusives As Why ActiBlizz Deal Should Be Approved
The comments here make it seem like most of the studios MS owns are just lying around being lazy and not actively developing more games.

I've lost interest in Rick and Morty over the past couple of years, and the idea of hearing Morty's annoying voice constantly is holding me back from downloading this. May still give it a try, but I'm really not looking forward to that voice.
Re: Need For Speed Unbound Performance Details Confirmed For Xbox Series X|S
Didn’t know it was coming out so soon. It was only reveal last month. Is 2 months long enough to build enough hype for a new game?

Re: IGN Criticises CrossfireX Campaign's 'Tired Tropes' And 'Boring Gameplay'
I was never sold on this one. The trailers looked like it might offer something, but the premise sounds so boring.

I’m grateful for the Kinect. I had fun with a lot of my friends/ dorm neighbors in college, drunk playing Dance Central and Dance Central 2
