Probably not as that’s why I opted for the console. The biggest reason to own a console at this point is convenience. Slipping a disk in and playing the games physically and it just working will always be easier than worrying about wether my PC is too old or too new to play certain games.
“The game has nothing at all to do with the WW2 torrii gate”
Which is why it’s weird to include a WW2 monument as part of your marketing strategy in what they claimed to be a 100% historically accurate game.
Edit: There seems to be a misunderstanding. Nobody claimed there can’t have ever been another one legged torii gate. But the one legged torii has exactly one known inference and that is WW2. If a gate broke in the past they just fixed it and didn’t document it because it wasn’t important. The WW2 torii is the only with any significance.
I’m glad I my Xbox One is still supported in this day and age, although I’m starting to regret getting Series X upgrade seeing as how few games use it. It’s a bold strategy not making a 9th gen console with Nintendo and Sony moving into the 10th gen soon. But obviously MS know best.
I’d like my console homepage to start on my library section. And I think having ads randomly pop up is a slippery slope but otherwise it’s pretty good.
In all seriousness in about 5 years the long term effects of this strategy will be laid bare…we’ll just have to find a new forum to laugh at them from.
Trust me guys exclusives are obsolete, the Cuphead tutorial is really difficult, Godhand sucks, and Deigon age:failguard isn’t going to kill BioWare as a company! Trust me I’m a journalist!
I think they'll still do perphiral hardware like the handheld and we know that Xbox has at least one console planned, but yeah Xbox is going to be retired in probably less than a decade.

Re: Microsoft Is Reportedly 'Partnering' On An Xbox Handheld Device To Launch In 2025
I’d actually would consider a MS handheld but it would have to be one of two things
1. Super high end and more powerful than switch 2 with a good representation of the Xbox library.
2. Super budget with dedicated software made just for it but can still play 360 and lower games.
But no matter what it cannot be a streaming device.
Re: Xbox Reporter 'Pretty Sure' New Console Is Set To Launch In 2027

Re: Talking Point: Assassin's Creed Fans, Do You Think Feudal Japan Will Live Up To The Hype?
@Kaloudz
Japan is to say actually. And they did. Hence why Japan was pretty upset.

It was a world war 2 monument.

“went on to marry and have children”
This means underage sodomy could not have happened. Also the game isn’t historically accurate, Mansa Musa has been dead for decades.
Re: Talking Point: Are You Buying Kingdom Come Deliverance 2?
No, the devs lied about its content and Hans being only 15 is beyond unacceptable.

I certainly hope MS ends up better off, but what’s the point in upgrading to the Series X successor.
