@XxEvilAshxX same here. I really like my Steam Deck but have 600+ Epic and GoG games which is a bit of a hassle playing and then al the PC GP/ Play Anywhere and I am really tempted by the X as long as it is not stupidly expensive.
It is unfortunate that I lost the email that I had for EA that linked to my GP so can’t do EA Play games on it.
After buying nearly every Xbox within weeks of launch this is likely to be my last generation.
Have just bought a Switch 2 and will probably buy a Xbox ROB Ally X.
I have been listing all my digital games over all the storefronts and I am well over 1500 games most haven't been played so do have enough to last me the rest of my life.
If you take away the issue of data potentially being stolen then this isn’t a bad thing and don’t see the issue and while we are at it bring it to social media.
For me this and GamePass are now the main reasons for me to prioritise Xbox.
Being able to jump freely between my 2 SX, my SS, PC and laptop (and Rog Ally if I get one) is great.
The problem is talking developers to first support Xbox on PC then this.
I know Square does when they release a Xbox PC game so was disappointed to see that it looks like FF Tactics isn’t getting a Xbox PC release as this would have been my choice so now a Steam purchase is on the table.
Could be tempted by one of these but the price might be an issue as the current Ally X is going for £799.
I have a SteamDeck which I love but I do prefer playing on console at home so having the ability to play some of my Xbox games on the move would be a bonus.
I would prefer more companies use cross saves like on Witcher 3 and CyberPunk as I would then possibly just buy some games on Xbox and Steam.
i’m about 140 hours in (bought at release but for steam due to the Steam Deck) and still enjoy throwing it on for a quick 30 minute go. Not sure how many decks i still have to do.
@MinervaX Thats why when doing this you have to use the UKs pre tax amount of £583 as this is what Sony are charging. then use the current exchange rate (about 1.30) this makes it £758 so while it is still more expensive it is not that much more.
I had an issue the other day where it was showing that I didn't have it on games already downloaded. Went the one of the game in the store which did say I had Ubi+ and tried playing from there and then they all worked fine.
Now if only the issue with MW3 on PC GPU where it says you need to purchase the game was as easy to sort.
For me the Delorean, KiTT, The Striped Tomato (if the car is in the game probably quite easy to make), 60's Batmobile and as others have said Ecto1 and A-Team GMC
@101Force Are Ford and Reiche III still at Toys for Bob as I would like to know what is next for the Ur-Quan Masters especially after playing the new version Free Stars that had just released on Steam on the Deck.
I think the biggest issue is for every game MS release on another system is one less reason to buy an Xbox.
The less systems people buy the less 3rd party games get bought. The less bought means that more will start missing Xbox and too many of the smaller gamers are already missing Xbox.
For me it isn't too much of an issue as I have a PS5, Switch and PC but for those who only have an Xbox them MS will be hanging them out to dry for a few more pennies.
it’s a nice bonus, unfortunately i am locked out if the pc version due to it being on my old work email and my work going out of business and as i can’t get an email to confirm i own it nobody is able help.
Need to go back to Like a Dragon. Think I got to about to Chapter 10 then lost a fight and after I stopped for ages after a difficulty spike at the end of another chapter I just stopped again.
Graphics don’t matter and I would say that ‘I’m disappointed by both.
As far as gameplay (I only do SP) the little I have played so far of Forza has it slightly ahead due to the fact that GT felt like it was an overtake challenge game. Some races had the lead car over 2 corners down the track.
GT does have the brilliant VR bug sons cars had some dodgy handling.
As long as you enjoy what you are playing does it matter which is supposedly better.
Still undecided about this. Loved the original and did like the first part of the fake/remake version but the end has left me wondering. Might wait to see about on PC.

Re: Opinion: I've Never Liked JRPGs, But Xbox's New FF16 Demo Has Me Hooked
Strangely not had any interest in this one at all but might have a go of the demo.
Think I will buy and play 7 remake later his year when it releases but with they had given a date.

Re: Forza On PS5 Has 'Easily' Made $100 Million For Xbox, Says Analyst
I don't have an issue with making games on PS but as this proves they should not be doing them after just a few month. 1-2 years needs to be the norm.
Re: Forza On PS5 Has 'Easily' Made $100 Million For Xbox, Says Analyst
@OldGamer999 AstroBot is a great game and for me the 2nd best game of last year after Balatro but it would not work on Xbox due to the controller.

Re: 32 Years Later, 'Ridge Racer' Is Finally Getting Released For Xbox
Never understood the love for this at the time. Sega racing games better in the arcades and Need for Speed better at home .
Good for those who want to pick this up and I am usually a sucker for these type of releases but I wil probably pass on this.
Re: Digital Foundry Impressed With Oblivion Remastered, But Xbox Series S 'Takes A Hit'

The Series S really is a great little budget machine.

Re: Well, The Forza Motorsport Vs. Gran Turismo 7 Comparisons Are Already Rolling In
