@Banjo- yup. I believe the signs were there all along too. But it’s not all doom n gloom. There’s tons of new platformers out there are great, will likely be great and would be great if they’re made.
@VoidPunk thanks for the chuckle. I agree with your comment.
@NEStalgia You are very correct, my friend. I’m not against clouding, but it’s embarrassing how it’s been stuck in a public pre-alpha for nearly nine years.
I mean, even 8 years later, cloud streaming still feels like it’s in its infancy. Well, not that I’d be able to verify. It has never been once available in my region and likely never will if its track record is anything to go by.
In hindsight it’s pretty bizarre Ubisoft even started working on Watch Dogs at all when a new Driver would’ve made more sense especially given the legacy and brand power and that we wouldn’t be stuck with so many delisted Driver games if Ubisoft actually cared for once.
@Ryu_Niiyama I’m glad to see there’s still Final Showdown players (I play Taka). It was difficult finding matches compared to Vanilla SFIV (I like Boxer, you can tell I like big men).
The negative news don’t stop coming. I’m not surprised nor having any outlandish expectations like there won’t be another Xbox by this point, but Microsoft/Xbox is so impossible to predict right now.
I don’t mean to diss on these guys as I’m sure they make great vehicles but there’s a reason these guys never take off here in Kuwait. They’re too “weird” and this is a fun way to exhibit that. Kia, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Toyota and the others all have some cons here and there but there’s a reason they’re so dependable and the dealerships tend to be pretty friendly, reliable to talk to and just all around great guys. If these guys ever come here, I wouldn’t mind but I wouldn’t be surprised if my dad never even heard of Rimac and he’s a bigger car nerd than I.
This is genuinely unexpected. I have a lot of nostalgia for this from playing it back during high school and college. It’s been several years since I last touched it so this will be kinda fresh to me. I really look forward to it!

Re: Deals: The Best 'Lowest Price Ever' Games In The Xbox Ultimate Game Sale 2024
You guys should totally get AW2 if you can. It’s worth the purchase.
Re: Talking Point: How Hyped Are You For Indiana Jones On Xbox Series X|S?
Can’t say much. We haven’t seen enough footage I feel. But I liked what I saw so far.
Re: Sony PlayStation 'Regrettably Outspends Us', Says Xbox EMEA Marketing Boss
Xbox over here in Kuwait and neighboring countries has non existent precense. It’s all PlayStation. Of course, I love Xbox. But that’s just me.
Re: Deals: Walmart Is Offering A Huge Discount On The Xbox Mini Fridge
@WhiteRabbit maybe the marketing manager was tossed into a large fridge. Would make sense.
Re: Deals: Walmart Is Offering A Huge Discount On The Xbox Mini Fridge
That’s actually hilarious. I still want this as a novelty item.
Re: Talking Point: Do You Think This Generation Will Be A Short One?
I expect it to be about the same. Like maybe 7 years-ish before a new system is out.

Have fun gaming.
Re: Xbox Series X|S Console Sales Down A Third In Europe With 'Weaker Software Lineup' In 2024
@WhiteRabbit looooool so true. Series S is mega cheap. I just don’t have that much money for gaming anymore. XD
Re: Xbox Series X|S Console Sales Down A Third In Europe With 'Weaker Software Lineup' In 2024
It still feels bizarre how they announced the black series s and then discontinued it barely a year after.
Re: Here's The Final List Of Xbox 360 Store Sales Ahead Of July 29th
So long, old King.
Re: Microsoft Releases Dynamic 'Blades' Background To Mark Xbox 360 Store Closure
Extremely sad. I’m glad the backwards compatibility program remains in tact. Even if we did recieve the final wave of games not that long ago.
Re: Three Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass In Late July 2024
@somnambulance seconding this, Venba is really cool.
Re: Crash Bandicoot Artist Talks Cancelled 'Crash 5' Project From Toys For Bob
It’ll wear out. We’re getting tons of new, honest platformers. I’m optimistic. @Banjo-

Re: Crash Bandicoot Artist Talks Cancelled 'Crash 5' Project From Toys For Bob
@Banjo- it’s exactly what you think so I don’t think it’ll be your thing. I also not huge on Crash 4.

Re: Remember Driver On Xbox? Ubisoft Says It's Working On 'Exciting Projects' For The Franchise

Re: Review: Poppy Playtime: Chapter 1 (Xbox) - A $5 Game That'll Give You The Creeps
I’m not sure what’s there to say about kids games ending up on Xbox so this score felt pretty fair. Good read & review.
Re: Talking Point: If You Had To Limit Yourself To Three Xbox Games, What Would They Be?
@Ryu_Niiyama I’m glad to see there’s still Final Showdown players (I play Taka). It was difficult finding matches compared to Vanilla SFIV (I like Boxer, you can tell I like big men).
Re: Talking Point: If You Had To Limit Yourself To Three Xbox Games, What Would They Be?
Much easier to answer for me than you might think.

The negative news don’t stop coming. I’m not surprised nor having any outlandish expectations like there won’t be another Xbox by this point, but Microsoft/Xbox is so impossible to predict right now.
Re: Talking Point: Have You Ever Bought Any Official Xbox Merchandise?
Would the hyperkin duke controller count?

Re: Xbox's New 'Just For You' Offers Include Super-Cheap Mafia Trilogy Deal
Huh… never seen this feature before. Fascinating! I’ll remember to check my Xbox to see what pops up for me.
Re: Here's A Final Look At The Xbox 360's Best-Selling 'Arcade' Games
I’m gonna miss so much of this it’s unbelievable.
Re: Xbox Series X|S Appears To Have Passed 600K Sales In Japan
I love my Series S. Such a comfort machine.
Re: All Of These 60+ Games Are Included With Ubisoft Plus On Xbox
I was really tired when I read the article so I thought “60+” meant you have to 60 years old to play them.
Re: Talking Point: How Do You Feel About 2024 On Xbox So Far?
Same as every year. Relaxin’ and chillaxin’ on the Green and White box. Always a chill experience for me regardless of what games come out.
Re: Unreleased OG Xbox Game 'The Invincible Ironman' Appears Online
Blows my mind to learn this exists at all. Pre-MCU iron man had a lot of personality to it.
Re: Dead Rising's OG Voice Actor Has 'No Answer' For Why Capcom Didn't Bring Him Back
I love TJ but I don’t hate the new guy. He sounds pretty passionate voicing the role. Can’t wait.
Re: Two Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (July 3)
While I do find the idea of SpongeBob beating the ever living snot out of Prince Zuko to be all sorts of Hilarity, I’ve out-grown most kiddy stuff.
Re: Three Activision Blizzard Titles Expected To Join Xbox Game Pass 'Very Soon'
This is unbelievably cool. Xbox firing on all cylinders.
Re: Don't Get Your Hopes Up About Banjo-Kazooie, Suggests New Xbox Rumour
@WhiteRabbit foolish Microsoft.
Re: Microsoft Rewards Is Getting A Couple Of New Features On Xbox
Good. This feature can feel pretty unintuitive at times especially when you can’t use an account that correlates with the country you live in.
Re: Don't Get Your Hopes Up About Banjo-Kazooie, Suggests New Xbox Rumour
I mean I kinda wasn’t. At least I never caught wind of a rumor that suggested the existence of a Banjo Fouroorie
Re: Xbox Begins The Month By Putting Over 700 Games On Sale (July 2-9)
Utterly mental. Exciting news.
Re: 'Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster' Launches This September For Xbox Series X|S
This is so freaking fast. Literally barely two months away. Capcom blessing us.
Re: PSA: We're Officially In The Last Month Ever For The Xbox 360 Store

R.I.P to a legend!
Re: Strange New Xbox Dashboard Shows Up In The Unlikeliest Of Places
I don’t mean to diss on these guys as I’m sure they make great vehicles but there’s a reason these guys never take off here in Kuwait. They’re too “weird” and this is a fun way to exhibit that. Kia, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Toyota and the others all have some cons here and there but there’s a reason they’re so dependable and the dealerships tend to be pretty friendly, reliable to talk to and just all around great guys. If these guys ever come here, I wouldn’t mind but I wouldn’t be surprised if my dad never even heard of Rimac and he’s a bigger car nerd than I.
Re: 'Poppy Playtime' Brings Its Creepy $5 Horror Game To Xbox This Month
Kids are gonna be loud about this one.
Re: Crazy Taxi Reboot Will Feature 'Large-Scale, Open World Multiplayer', Says SEGA
Need a new open world driving game with a great soundtrack. This will be fire.

I never thought I’d see the day where new gameplay footage of this drops… incredibly happy. Such a beautiful game.
Re: Forza Horizon 4 Explodes In Popularity Ahead Of Big Xbox Sale Next Month
How likely for this game go on sale? And if it’s delisted, will it still be playable afterwards?
Re: Xbox Is Kicking Off A New Month With Two Free-To-Play Releases
Goddam the bleach release caught me offgaurd so bad. I might need to check this out.
Re: 'Project Tamriel' Is A Mod Aiming To Bring The Elder Scrolls To Starfield
Skyrim mods are evolving so much they’re now colonizing other Todd-games.
Re: 22 Years Later, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter Is Finally Coming To Xbox
This is genuinely unexpected. I have a lot of nostalgia for this from playing it back during high school and college. It’s been several years since I last touched it so this will be kinda fresh to me. I really look forward to it!
Re: Head Of Xbox Phil Spencer Will Be Kicking Off PAX West 2024 This August
