I couldn't care less whether it was profitable or not. I couldn't care less if PS Plus Plus was profitable or not. You know who I DO care if they're profitable? Me. As long as they offer services that allow me to enjoy my hobby and keep MY bank account in the black, I couldn't give two ****s what a trillion dollar company's profit margins look like.

It's hard to feel bad for the devs when the last Forza Motorsport was a soulless, boring shell of what the series used to be. I was a huge fan ever since the first one on the original Xbox, and I played a few hours of it and was bored to tears. It offered literally nothing you couldn't get in Forza 4, a game that was released 14 years ago.

Well I can't speak for anyone else, but I got the first one on a pretty deep discount, and I was bored to tears. I got about halfway through it before I just couldn't do it anymore. I haven't even bothered to play the sequel even on gamepass.

I kinda wish Capcom would throw us a bone and re-release Outbreak and Outbreak File 2 so that we can play a version that doesn't run like ****.

I have about 0% faith in Netflix to pull this off.

That's the dumbest metric I've ever seen. I played Oblivion for like, five years before I beat the main quest.

I swear to God if they swap out the OG Disney with the "live action" Disney....

Leave it to WB to have some of the biggest franchises in pop culture and still be failing.

While they're at it, they should include a way to block Roman's phone number.

@Gooseuk Yeah it was due to the game having to keep track of where every single item in the game was. It's baked into the original engine so there probably isn't a way to address it.

For example if you take a mug off a table and drop it on the floor, it's gonna stay on the floor til the end of its days. If you run through every house you enter like a bull in a china shop and leave the place a wreck then your game is gonna start running like crap real fast.

I don't understand how this is still news.

How do people think a 120 GB game is going to fit on a 40-50 GB disc? Does it matter how much of the game is contained on the disc? You're still going to have to connect to the internet, you're still going to have to download extra data, and guess what? That day one patch will likely be a re-download of the entire game anyway.

And for you "physical only" gamers, I'm going to tell you something that nobody else seems to bring up. As a guy who has been gaming since the 80's, when EVERYTHING was physical, take it from me, you're going to reach a point in your life when all this **** is just cluttering up your house and you just want to be rid of it. What is important to you now is not going to be important in 20 years. If you're already into your mid-40's / early 50's and your life still revolves around this "stuff" then I don't know what else to tell you.

I realized a long time ago that all this crap is just old junk that is absolutely worthless to everyone else in my family. Nobody gives a **** about it, and the minute I die, it's all going into a yard sale or a donation box.

I stopped buying physical years ago, and at the same time, came to accept that if I ever lost access to the 1000+ digital games I have across my consoles and PC, it would suck, and I'd be mad, but it would also be a great excuse to get away from this money pit of a hobby and do something else with my life.

Just remember, at the end of the day, all your treasures will be just a dead person's crap. If you think your wife/husband/kids are gonna want it, think again.

Don't bother replying to this comment, I'm heading out for work and will likely forget I ever posted it in the first place.

I realized the only ones I have a problem charging $80 is Nintendo. Everyone else's games go on sale all the time. I haven't bought a game for full price in literally years.

@Dampsponge Considering it will probably be provided as a title update, it will probably upgrade when you install it. Calm down.

Didn't believe any of these rumors the past few weeks. Don't believe them now. I will believe it when I see it downloading.

Let's be real... the game is 120+ GB. It doesn't matter whether there was 20 gigs on that disc or 50... you're downloading something.

Can't wait for all the devs that couldn't manage to downscale their games to run on the Series S, magically getting their games downscaled to run on the Switch 2.

This list is what happens when you poll a bunch of teenagers that might be familiar with older games, but weren't there when they came out and, ya know, INFLUENCED things.

I know I'm just an old man yelling at clouds, but I was there when certain games released and literally changed gaming. Most of the games on this list are legit, but some of them are a joke. And their ranking is abysmal.

And no, there is no room on it for Shenmue. QTE's were a fad. Nothing more.

I'm a gigantic Resident Evil fan, but without Alone in the Dark, we wouldn't have Resident Evil, or Silent Hill, or any of the thousands of games in that genre. So AoiD should be there.

Having GTA on there, but not GTA3 is dumb. Nobody gave a **** about GTA until GTA3. Nobody copied the old top-down GTA, but everybody copied GTA3.

But can I put them in the pool then remove the ladder, is what I want to know.

90's Marvel beat 'em up using 90's Marvel character designs? I don't need to know anything else, just take my ****ing money right now.

@Beetlebum91 Despite popular belief, Sony has no say-so in what video games Spider-Man appears in.

It's about damn time. I'm extremely happy to see Fujimi Kaido return, but it's hard to pat them on the back when it should have been there already.

Hopefully this means they got the licensed-track boner out of their system and can now start releasing the tracks that people actually want.

I saw my kid playing first one a lot. So I bought an actual powerwasher and shoved him out in the driveway. Suddenly it wasn't so fun.

Sweet! Now to find my camera obscura.

Well, it probably will be revoked, now that you've reported on it. Stuff like this should be kept on the down-low. If you know, you know. But now everybody knows, including MS.

VR won't be relevant until we have the Holodeck with a Playboy Mansion app.

They still haven't answered why the "Balanced" mode doesn't pop up even though the X is hooked up to a VRR monitor capable of 120+ mhz.

But can I still drop the mascots in the lake, that's the question.

Jade Empire was an ok game. People love to wear the rose colored glasses for this one. I was riding high off of KOTOR and reserved the Special Edition of Jade Empire. Bought it day one, and beat it in a few evenings, and was extremely disappointed. The game wasn't nearly as good as KOTOR, and simultaneously was never going to have the mass appeal that a Star Wars game did. They have no one to blame but their own ridiculous expectations.

Another showcase in the middle of a work day. Thanks MS.

I already had a GameCube and a PS2, and I was skeptical of Microsoft having a console. Picked one up in '03 because I was bored with what the CG and PS2 had at the time. GameStop was having a B2G1 on used games so I picked up RTCW, DOA3, and Morrowind. Morrowind blew me away and shortly after that KOTOR released and I was all in after that.

The story for RE0 could easily be folded into a remake of RE. It's not the most complicated plot out there, and a lot of it could be condensed. Hell, you could eliminate Billy's character completely, seeing how he has never re-surfaced in any form since. Just have a 2 or 3 hour prologue with Rebecca and call it a day.

Being a Dragon Age game would've helped Dragon Age Veilguard.

ID@Xbox showcase hosted by IGN

They should use this time to come up with some proper opponent A.I. rather than relying on that rubber band bs.

Everybody: "Xbox has failed."

MS: "I'm sorry, what? Can't hear you with all them cash registers CHA-CHING'ing."

I stopped spending the money on first party controllers after my third one got stick drift. Not sure what MS changed, but their controllers used to be solid AF. I still have X360 controllers that are 20 years old that work like a dream.

I started buying PowerA controllers for $25 and will continue to do so until MS starts putting hall effect sticks in their controllers.

MICROSOFT: FIX YOUR ****.

Migration takes so f'ing long though... Maybe I'm just better off with my ISP than most others, but it's actually quicker for me to just re-download stuff. (But I do get that others have data caps, which I do not.)

Games were $50 and $60 back in the 90's when the game industry was so niche that selling 500k copies was a success and selling a million was ****ing amazing. Fast-forward to today when game companies whine that they can't make a profit when the market is literally hundreds of millions of people and they don't even need to print a physical product.

Also GTAO made like, a billion dollars last year.

Just make it for VR already you cowards.

I would be more surprised that MS/Bethesda would be out-sourcing their Oblivion remake to a third party chinese developer. Mainly because they don't need to.

Anything playable on Xbox One is playable on Series X/S... sooooo why wouldn't you?

Let's be honest; there's no demand for a physical PS5 release either.

Let's also be honest, there's no demand for a digital release for that matter.

Let's be also, also honest, there's no demand for this game period.

We already have like, 8 Shenmue games on Xbox. They're called Yakuza.

Still waiting for like, 90% of the tracks I enjoyed from previous Forzas, so no. No it hasn't.

Still waiting for Mount Panorama, Fujimi Kaido, Burnese Alps, New York, Monsterrat, Prague, Miami, Rio de Janeiro, Amalfi Cost, Dubai, etc.

I would have loved to see some throwbacks like the Pacific Shipyard or the Tokyo Circuit from the original Forza. Or, i dunno, maybe some NEW locations we've never seen before?

As it is, all they have put in are licensed tracks that you can get in any other racing game. They haven't included anything to set it apart. I have always preferred FM over GT, but GT7 had a much, much better variety of tracks.

Turn 10 dropped the ball in the creativity department this time around.

A few vocal holdouts. They'll either need to get with the program or just be forever angry.

Here's the reality. I grew up with physical games. They do not last forever. Disc drives fail. The discs themselves degrade over time. Having a physical copy might mean you "own" the game, but it don't mean you'll still be playing it when you're 90.

Cartridges last longer but aside from Nintendo I can't see them ever being a viable format again. Even the Switch's days are number, in my opinion.

I have the entire Yakuza series on Steam, including Like a Dragon and Infinite Wealth. I should actually play them one of these days.

As if you could make a Gears game and have any other v/o doing Marcus. Without DiMaggio, why even bother?

Yeah, de-listing so they can re-list as a new package. Nothing is lost, these games are readily available in one form or another. In fact I think I have all of them on a Switch cartridge.

EDIT: Oh, hah. That's the one they're de-listing. I thought it was the old ones from the 360. Carry on, nothing to see here lol.

Eh, I've spent $20 on worse lol.

I really want to stay interested in FM but man they gotta start putting in some of the more scenic creative tracks. These flat licensed tracks all start to look the same after a while. FM has had some truly fantastic tracks in the past and I'm still waiting for them to get added to this one.

Unless MS directly addresses employees on a certain company direction, that info is usually on a need to know basis. Most employees aren't in that pay grade. Such is life as an employee of a mega corporation.

Also, MS as a company is about as leaky a boat as it gets. If the higher ups aren't telling them anything, thank the "sources."
