Cool game, tutorials are absolutely essential, but there are 39 of them, to ease you into the game, it's fast and no 'cool' animations, so it's a breath of fresh air in the soccer game arena, like PES only faster...
@pamonmedia, I sold my first gen Ally for 400, but I played games like hades and balatro on it, so I thought I will get the xbox ally s, that'll be enough, but hey then I won $2000 with MS Rewards sweepstakes, so I pre-ordered the X version, not the lottery, but still a nice win
@cross717 Dollar was strong vs other currencies early nineties,
for the snes here in the Netherlands I paid like 199 (guilders) for games like Final Fight and U.N Squadron in 1992 , which equates to 200 dollars in 2025... so yeah gaming was more expensive then...
The 360 is sitting on top of a One X , both regularly used , the 360 primarily with the kinect , Kinect Sports 1 and 2 is still a lot of fun, the 2 series S are in kid's bed rooms, and dad's series X is in his 'office/man corner'
Skyrim, period, invested more time on that one than any other game on 360. Even only game I personally used Kinect with (my kids loved the rest of the kinect stuff ofc).
@Fiendish-Beaver Stayed up too for the show, on the Netherlands, was entertaining, agree mostly with your take, although you mentioned 4 exclusives announced for Playstation, haven't checked or anything, but outside of the free DLC for Gow, wow free stuff from Sony, amazing, I can't remember announced exclusives , and don't count Hellblade either that's been on TGA every year forever lol
Played both on GP Ultimate... Chivalry 2 was fun for a while, and my youngest daughter still plays Totally Reliable Delivery Service along with Fall Guys, Wobbly Live, Party Animals , fun games for the youngsters I guess.
@XxEvilAshxX I got an elite 2 which holds up pretty well till now about 2 years , was replaced by MSFT 2 times first year though, I normally personally don't have trouble with the Xbox controllers , but my kids demolish a official controller in months, went to Turtle Beach react-r for them all two still working perfectly after a year ...
played metal gear on MSX and Playstation 1 , I'll just leave it there, in the time it was all incredible, but revisit it would taint that memory I think , I'll pass
@Cherip-the-Ripper Agree 100% , it's a great game held back by terrible gameplay, pretty sad , they should definitely remaster it with better controls etc, would be worth it
Loved it, now one achievement left getting all the chores in the dlc, bit of a grind, but loving the rogue lite aspect of the dlc, very different from main game
Got mine yesterday, it's truly gorgeous, paid fully with reward points, so feels free. @Thenewguy same cannot be said about the Constellation Edition, jeez 300, but yeah I budged, got that one too, the game better be great, lol, but after deep dive I got full confidence in this one.
Why was the Spiderman-2 release date not on their own showcase, the same regarding Final Fantasy VII rebirth, why oh why wasn't that on the PS showcase, would definitely lifted the whole show.
@Kaloudz Yep for sure, What most people don't realize is the money ABK has in their treasure chest: 'Activision Blizzard cash on hand for the quarter ending March 31, 2023 was $12.516B'
And with Diablo IV out , this will only increase....
If MSFT closes the deal the eyewatering '$68.7B' sale immediately gets discounted to at least 56.2 billion.
@Banjo almost exactly the same here, although i started Ezio collection last year , I'm on Rogue now, also got everything up to Valhalla in gold, except Oddysey bought the ultimate for like 18, once I reach Valhalla it's gonna be less than a tenner for sure 😃, love the loosely historical aspect of it too and the music is awesome especially Ezio collection

Re: Talking Point: Would You Be Willing To Pay $80 For Xbox Games?
But the amount of sales for games back then were nowhere near what they sell today, and cartridges were very expensive to manufacture then.
