I think they just come off as douches to often. Even when they do something kinda right it's like look at us we didn't douche it up that time. I hope that Xbox puts some gamers back in charge and not glorified accoutaints.

@Kaloudz ya that boycott stuff is so stupid on both sides of the aisle. On topic the game is fun I really enjoyed it.

I wish they would add some of the old wwf arvaade games but thats probably a dream.

@BeerIsAwesome LOL Amen!

I put this in its own post but im just going to ask again how does the gta v upgrader work if I don't have to install anything it says gta v s/x doesnt need to be installed so how does it work?

So are they saying that 38% of that number watched the starfield thing? Just give a number to how many watched the starfield show.

@RIghteousNixon @InfamousOrange yep already ordered it. I get what you're saying infamous but it also comes with the expansion and I would have bought that anyway. This is the first time I have ever bought their little upgrade for a gamepass title.

Sleeping dogs is a really good game can't recommend it enough.

@Rangers420 @Rangers420 Same I have played pretty far into it but there are some things i cant stand i feel like the nemesis system is super overpowered in this one. and they adapt so fast I am just not good enough combat wise which is strange to admit.

@theduckofdeath I agree with you you would have to buy the expansions anyways. With the upgrade I'm getting one expansion and early access which works for me. If it is not your cup of tea wait the five days and there is no extra charge.

The whole point of having plus much like game pass is the day one release.. honestly on the PC or can be worth a month here and there for them not to have it day one defeats the point.

Avowed surprised me the most in a negative way the graphics just looked bad and then they said its been dialed back. I didnt really like the tunnel vision of the outer worlds so I am disappointed in hearing its not going to be a big open world.
Starfield from the adoring fan to the new birds eye view for building to it just looking fun was a great surprise. I am thinking it might just dethrone morrowind from my pantheon.

@NEStalgia this honestly made the show for me. Everything else was great but it just brought back so many good memories from the xbox 360 days. I bought my 360 just to play oblivion remember it was not on the ps3 to start I am pretty sure that is correct. I think for me this game is going to be epic.

@Cashews totally understand this sentiment. However I like Phil and think he is doing a good job. The one important thing he has done is to get Microsoft totally onboard with gaming. I know theere have been some lean years but I think we're on a major up swing.

@NeoRatt it's hard to believe it has been that long for some of those games. Like you I am really excited for the future. on the bug front its an wide open world there is going to be some bethesda jank in it no matter what. I sometimes enjoy the crazy things that happen. I remember on the 360 days for oblivion i found an item that was just a yellow exclamation mark.

@themightyant I do understand what you are saying. I would have to pay for the expansion anyways and it comes with this bonus so its not that big of a deal to me.

I thought it looked great I honestly dont know the difference between 30 and 60 maybe I am just too old.

Im hoping i can run some kinda space business. Is it weird that I want to know how we make money in this game?

@BobCoffee lol I feel for you brother. My wife says "your going to order those aren't you?" I said "maybe" She said "just order it and get it over with lol!"

@FraserG thanks brother I have always had gamepass and that won't change so no need to buy the 99 dollar version.

So i can just buy that upgrade and I will be able to play starfield in the early access through gamepass?

@carlos82 ya mine downloads at most 30 mbps for the pc. it took 20 plus hours to download ark maybe more.

@BobCoffee same i get blazing speed on the console the pc downloads from xbox are miserable though.

This looks crazy and right up my alley.

So is this game worse than cyberpunk launch? I haven't played it but I loved cyberpunk even at launch but I was playing on a series x so it was not bad.

We're moving about 1500 miles around that time so I'll have to watch later sad times truly.

@NEStalgia Ya man I just wonder if the game is getting 9/10's everywhere how much better could it have been if they didn't spend so much time and resources thinking of crazy ways to milk the ip? I understand immortal almost all mobile games are cash grabs but this is one of your core flagship games how greedy you got to be? Make it good and you will sell through the roof want some m ore cash after that do an expansion with a new class or more story. Enough ranting from me I am just very skeptical but they own the ip it is up to them to be good stewards. On a side note does this discussion make anyone else feel like they are really old and just whishing for the days of expansion pass preorders? lol!

@BBB Thanks for the info here is a link that talks about all the costs their shoehorning into a 70 dollar game https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/diablo4/23952500/what-you-can-expect-from-diablo-iv-s-post-launch-experiences Now that I know what is going to cost I will have to think on it for a while. I did try the server slam and really enjoyed the druid. I stopped playing at about lvl 10 just so I wouldn't spoil anything. Like I said before I do not begrudge them for wanting to make money to support the game and co0ntinue development I do understand they are a company that is in it for the cash and things cost money.

@themightyant @PsBoxSwitchOwner So I decided I would do some research I went to the games website and they do not mention the mtx stuff at all. If you look in the forums you can find info but you shouldn't have to do that. Look I have no problem with them saying were doing this to support the games future but come out and tell us all the costs. I have thought for a long time that we need a section on video games rating that says estimated cost going forward like you have when you buy a car from a dealership. This makes me sound really cheap but I am not I just do not want to buy something and then feel hornswagled if you want to sell cosmetics fine just have a store for that don't make me do some dumb pass.

@themightyant I was going to preorder but i cant really find a clear answer to their monetization shenanigans how much is this stuff going to cost? I shouldn't have to be an internet sleuth to discover this. Also why cant they just release the battle pass tract and let us see whats in it?

@NeoRatt its funny how people have different tastes whem i had a playstation 4 none of those games did anything for me they felt to forced down a certain path for me. However, if i were a play station owner i might be asking for an elder scrolls/starfield type game.

@Lup just an idea of what its going to be like and a time frame even if its next decade to have when it comes out.
my pie in the sky morrowind remake release soon!

@NotoriousWhiz thats what i thought too!

I have been playing Xbox since year one not day one but close it was the system that got me into elder scrolls. I loved the first fable. I can show some patients I think the one thing that irritates me though is announcing games that are a trillion years out. On the other hand if they don't announce there working on fable we're just going to be inundated with the rumors. So maybe they should have just said hey we're working on fable it being done by this studio but it's a while out. I am stoked about starfield if it's as good as the elder scrolls games that's going to be great and shut up lot of this nonsense.

@Bleachedsmiles one of the best parts of it on PC is you get day one games with the best version included like the gold or super super deluxe edition. That's on PC for games like anno or assassin's Creed you can sign up for a few months or whatever get your fill and cancel.

@InterceptorAlpha thanks man I didn't know about the cash shop or battle passes. I really enjoy 2 playboy quite a bit but d3 is its own kind of fun the druid is my absolute favorite class so d4 has that going for it.

@BBB i9 read an interview today that said they are purposely going to have ques that might be the dumbest thing I have ever heard. A game developer say. You know how many copies you sold you know what your servers can handle I have never really understood this process.

@InterceptorAlpha not being argumentative here what micro transactions are there? and ya i really want paladin or crusader i really hope they do lots of expansions. I enjoyed D3 for a lot of the quality of life things D2 remastered or whatever was fun but some of the systems are just hassles.

I bought anno the deluxe edition and none of the dlc works it wants me to buy it

I thought this was coming to gamepass did I misunderstand the comercial?

@CriptekZeus I don't Know Where you are from the reason I found 5 to be so gripping is here in the states there are a lot of crazy colt survivalists and some have done some serious damage. So I think that undertone for me really meant something. Just to be clear I don't have a problem if you Do not trust the government that is probably a good thing but not trusting the gov and building a bunker and having ten wives is a little different.

@Kaloudz I thought 5 was the best also. The opening is so good it really makes the story stand out.

I used to by madden every year. The last two years I have taken a hard pass they have neglected franchise to the point that it is a piss poor showing every year if the NFL actually cared about their fans and a little less about the almighty dollar maybe they would hold EA accountable. Kids shouldn't even be allowed to play these games they have turned into online gambling simulators.

I am really interested in the minecraft game.

I swore after Cyberpunk which I enjoyed day one and thought was great bugs and all just not as great as they had made it to be. I would not let another game Hype me up. However, just reading this makes me excited I am a dope. The one game I wish was coming that would be super duper awesome is a remake of Morrowind.

Lord of the rings online and Marvel Midnight Suns I also got into ultimate alliance a little bit on switch

So I have played for about 12 hours or so and there is some cheesey dialogue here and there, but overall it's very good. The story makes sense and is enjoyable so far. The card system makes the combat Interesting and does add a strategic element that's is cool not at all frustrating. Overall the game is good and fun it actually got me back into marvel ultimate alliance 3 also.

Its really good I think the team effort brings back memories of some ghost recon glory days. I have four or five friends that we have played this until 3 am several times now its just great that a game can bring you back together.

@Titntin I agree with you 100% that they are not just on xbox that is a fair point. The thing for me is I just prefer the xbox from the controller to the ease of xbox multiplayer. I bought a ps4 just to play the show now that it's on Xbox Ill probably never buy another PlayStation as for whatever reason their exclusive stuff never much got me to excited

@Rsco2410 i had to do the same thing.
