What people don't understand from the beginning is XBOX console is a pc. They both use windows and dominated by Microsoft. You go with an xbox or a pc, both have their advantages.
So why would MS releasing all their games on Pc affect my purchase decision between Pc and Xbox? I already have chosen Xbox console since it is plug and play, easier, more comfortable and I use Linux Mint instead of Windows.
And why would you go for PS/Nintendo? Because you hate game pass ( best game service by far ) and you adore their exclusives.
I want to upgrade from my series s to series x eventually. As I play digital games only that new version seems to be a good fit, but it should be cheaper or come with a 2tb storage.
I use an IFTTT applet to automatically transfer videos uploaded to my onedrive account to my telegram account so that i can share it easily in the group with my friends.
But IFTTT has a limit of 20mb per file for that action, and 720p 15 second clips are usually above 20mb so i have to trim them.
I need 10 or 12 seconds capture option to solve my problem, why not?
So buying them both probably would not be more expensive than buying ABK. And would be a much better move in my opinion. So if this deal falls through maybe it is for the better.
I played this for a few hours yesterday. I did training and some online matches. I like tennis and such a game was surely needed. Even though I had fun I need to point out that this game feels like a beta version. Here are some cons that I remember:
Cons (on series s ):
screen tearing and graphical glitches
crowd is generic and lifeless
no doubles play
Players' walk is not natural
when I won the point to make the games 6-5 the commentator thought that it was the matchpoint
character creation is severely weak, there was no short hair option for example
volleys are weird
there is no online leaderboard, ok I have an Elo Point after playing 3 ranked matches but where does that puts me? Am I ahead of many players or not?
We don't see the Elo of our online opponent. It would be good.
The graphics are not looking like 2022, more like 2012
Player animations and sounds are not good enough, Top Spin 4 was better now that I'm watching a gameplay video of that game
The moment the match ends I would expect to see more excitement and at least a handshake with the opponent to make it more realistic
Conclusion: I am happy to play this on gamepass. Is it worth $45? No! We need an AAA tennis game that deserves that price tag. I hope a big studio starts developing a great tennis game. Microsoft Tennis maybe
I finished this game and for me it is a work of art. For gameplay criticisms I can only say play it like a beat them up game, don't expect deep mechanics.

Re: Surprise! Young Suns Has Quietly Shadow Dropped Today On Xbox Game Pass
With the price hike I thought strong 3rd party games may come to Game Pass but that is not the case.
Re: Talking Point: So, What Other PS5 Games Do You Want To See Come To Xbox?
I vote for Spider-Man games.
Re: Imminent Xbox Layoffs Could Include Entire Studios, Warns Industry Veteran
I’m surprised nobody’s mentioning AI as the culprit. I expect that soon we’ll see AAA games made mostly by AI, with just a handful of people involved.
Re: Xbox Spring Sale 2025 'Sneak Preview' Now Live, 400+ Games Discounted
"one week of exclusivity for Game Pass members"
is this always the case or sometimes the sales are really just for game pass members?
I plan not to sub to game pass in the near future and don't want to miss sales for that reason.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Be Willing To Pay $80 For Xbox Games?
In theory, a game can be worth $80, but I have yet to see such a game this generation. So I can only mention a few such games from the past:
Street Fighter 2
Max Payne
Midnight Club II

It's the other way around :

Re: Phil Spencer On Game Exclusivity: 'We Have To Anticipate There's Going To Be More Change'
All MS games can launch on Ps , what is wrong with that? If you like Game Pass , Xbox platform is where you want to be.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Be Interested In Microsoft's White Xbox Series X Revision?
I want to upgrade from my series s to series x eventually. As I play digital games only that new version seems to be a good fit, but it should be cheaper or come with a 2tb storage.

I have an interesting problem :

Re: Talking Point: Where Does Xbox Go Next If ActiBlizz Deal Falls Through?
According to companiesmarketcap.com
EA is worth 34B
Take2 is worth 20B
So buying them both probably would not be more expensive than buying ABK. And would be a much better move in my opinion. So if this deal falls through maybe it is for the better.
