Within the last year or more, and all the sales, I believe 2 of the 11 games on my wishlist have ever hit a sale. One because palworld is always on sale because of game pass. But the others? Never.

Playing halo 3 multiplayer online at a friend's. It was his xblive account, and i remember in halo mp you could bring along 1-3 guests, which was awesome and unheard of. Good times.

🫩I just bought the ascent when it was on sale recently, $6. Worth it... and here it is.

Yes. I have plenty of rewards points. Should get a hefty discount. For managed democracy!!

Backlog time, the ascent and palworld.

This is Sony getting ahead of the "nexbox can play steam/epic games" and getting some money before people play it through their existing library for free. Probably.

Although this is sad to see and hear, hopefully we get an abundance of new studios, great ideas, experiences, etc.

Clair obscur expedition 33. Looks beautiful, sounds better, story is great, gameplay is awesome. Other games might hit some of these notes or most, but clair hits all of them. Personally.

Ms could've spent $69B by giving 69 companies a billion each for 2-5 exclusives. 138+ games for this generation and next, and this deal would've done wonders for every party involved.

It's good to hear. But if ms can't even abide by their own "parity clause," how can they expect outside devs to.

When xbox gaming on this is it like vr where everything surrounds you? Or is it like a theater-like setting, a black background and ginormous screen? If its the former thats a cool way to experience cyberpunk or rdr 2. But if its the latter, meh.

Instead of waiting for the next gen, why couldn't they just drop the steam/epic/gog on marketplace now as a free download? Then sign in, download and play from the steam servers, etc. No different than ea play, ubi whatever, etc. SteamOS ui makes it easy for controllers to navigate. Kb&m isn't an issue on series x.

I know easier said than done. But one can dream.

This gen seems a bit of a wash. I think the big 3 have released more hardware than software(/s). Switch, switch v2, switch lite, switch oled, switch 2, xbox series x, seris s, x digital, s digital, ps5, ps5 digital, ps5 slim, ps5 pro, ps portal, psvr2. Now we got the asus rog xbox ally, oculus xbox version(for what? The vr games we're flooded with?).

And now with the talk of next-gen already, Im just tired. Consoles were supposed to be easy, last the generation, and play the games, but they kind of just morphed into low budget pcs with mid-gen refreshes being needed, etc. Might as well buy a pc and upgrade when necessary.

Give me the Activision marvel and transformer games. Please.

Im finishing my first playthrough of xmen origins wolverine. Then onto the Simpsons movie(?) game.

The whole series x|s parity clause is a big hindrance for most companies, the install base, etc. Most devs will look at the poor sales of ffxvi(and maybe black myth) and wonder if porting to series x, with the pain of getting it to run on series s, is worth it. When the ps5 digital came out with the same power, and then the ps5(s) sold more, it became the defacto platform to dev for. It seems like this gen the only way xbox got games was because they bought devs/pubs. And even then ms is drip feeding its classics catalog. Warcraft 1 and 2 is just now coming, along with older cod games. But where are the other games?

Console needs to adapt the pc slider system for console graphic options. All we get is "performance or quality." Allow the series x|s to tweak it better to achieve the best options. Let me set it to 1080p, medium settings, 40fps.

Rog ally x is $899. Stands to reason the rog ally xbox version would be similar(or more).

Didn't Clair Obscur also release on game pass? Sold 3.3+ million copies. Just saiyan.

The bad reviews must have been paid for. And the few good ones were definitely paid for.

"..not native console games."

Dafuq does that mean? What xbox console games aren't available on pc/steam? This article is confusing and not needed.

The rog xbox ally is a handheld gaming pc. Just like a regular rog ally, legion go, steam deck. You can download pc/steam games NATIVELY and play them without worry of "streaming only."

To win back some good will, they should be comparible to the series x and s prices(LAUNCH prices).

Hopefully xbox users see some benefits in new games and experiences. Instead of higher console and gamepass prices.

Around the time of release this game was getting a lot of attention because of how it looked, etc. After release, not much has been said about the game. Style over substance seems to be the soup du jour over at Sony. Ffvii remake comes to mind.

This better have to do with sod3. Teasing something "new," while showing fcuk all about sod3 is asinine.

It was removed because the price was too low.

"We know you like paying full price for games. Maybe even more than $80. It would be evil of us to take that away from you. Trust us, we're frend."

Also, how many games were canceled, and studios closed on sony's side? Game pass' fault?

Can't wait for the Thomas the train mods. See what the fascination is with PC gamers and that guy.

The nexbox has to be something outlandish. A handheld that comes with a dock with an egpu, $599ish. Allows for third party stores. Modular for consumer friendly repairs/upgrades.

Some expedition 33, and robocop to liven things up a bit.

Buy from scalpers, then dispute the charges with your credit card company. You get a controller, scalpers lose. Fight shyte, with shyte.

@Coletrain woot has metaphor for $25.

AA is the new AAA.

A few things leading to this. First, the game is massive. Second, I hear there are some issues with memory leaks causing some games to run poorly the longer they are played. Third, it's on game pass. Which allows a lot more people to put it down, as opposed to buying it and getting your monies worth.

I started it, then clair came out. At this point im more inclined to play something a little more linear, than a massive open world game.

@FraserG why? Wouldn't that cannibalize sales? Especially if there are no considerable differences between the two. Paying asus for an xbox version, then r&d money into their own version? I don't know what they're thinking.

For me everything seems to be normal. According to edge browser I've accrued 10,265 pts for the month so far. Seems high. 1mo Game pass ultimate reward is still at 12k pts. S'alright.

One handheld is an asus rog ally with an xbox skin? And xbox's handheld is releasing later? Or is there more to it?

Haven't played rebirth, but remake was so...basic. it looked pretty but gameplay was very shallow. Not to mention the quest structure which is none. It's just a, b, c, d, etc, with no deviation and no choice but to do the tedious missions. Better enjoy fetch quests.

I'm indifferent to it all. I usually buy whichever is cheaper.

With that said, if a game disc can hold 100GBs of data, why not have the entire game on disc(if it fits)? Is there an extra step, is it more costly, is it a conspiracy to have everyone move to digital only? Anybody know?

My backlog runneth over. I can surely wait for sales or used copies.

I really enjoyed the game. My favorite parts, which were few and far between, were the expeditions. Those were some cinematic moments.

Nothing wrong with options. Sub services do not remove the ability to buy games. I have too many games to stay subbed. But it's good to know it's there if and when I go back.

The base ps5 sold tons, so it's the target that most devs aim for. Not series s, not the switch. And with the ps5pro, it's the console devs want to show out for. Things could've been so much better for xb if they got rid of parity clause, and treated the series s as a base model, and the series x as the pro. Still can. But after this, xb, it's users, are all second class. Treat the loyal users who bought into their ecosystem as a second thought, and kowtow to the ones paying money, I guess.

Was streaming balatro in safari browser on an ipad with a bluetooth controller. Ran as if it was natively installed. Tried cyberpunk and it crashed before the second splash screen. Went to bed afterwards. Gonna try cyberpunk again.

State of decay 3 with gameplay and release date. Or every single older game, from every single acquisition shadow drops on game pass.

Too many good games, not enough time.

Pvpve? Not for me.

I always thought after the syccess of streets of rage 4 and shredder's revenge there should be a marvel game. And here it is. Imagine if xbox and Konami re-released xmen arcade game right before this.

It just makes sense and dollars. Why limit your games to 30+m users when you can get more from releasing everywhere. Hopefully with all the extra money, this means for us loyal users more games being developed, better perks, etc. Hopefully.

Ms: share your games.

Sony: no.

Ms: fine. We'll get steam.

And if Sony wants to stop their entire ps to pc movement, then they can pull their games from steam. But having valve not make sony's games playable on certain "pcs" will not be possible.
