Looking forward to playing Gears of War at some point, but the last few months have been pretty weak for me

The Ascent is a great game. I 100% it when it was released on PS Plus.

@Millionski this is a complete U turn from my comments the other day about everyone should just enjoy gaming and not worry about the future. But after today's announcements, I am concerned now.

I have thought about it this morning and I honestly think the main factor in me sticking to my Series X atm is purely game pass. I very rarely play games not on the service. It is exactly what MS want!
I am lucky in that I was able to stack GP for multiple months at the fraction of the cost, so it has already paid for itself.
SO I think I am just going to run through my game pass until it expires. Enjoy it for what it gives and they make a decision on what to do next.
I m not saying the brand will die but it does make you think about where you should be spending your money

@Isolte who is arguing? 🤣

@Isolte It is a PC, with a UI on that makes life easier for the end user.
As long as the next hardware I can just plug into my TV, pick up my controller and play to my hearts content, then I am happy.

@Gabrie I have invested in the Xbox since the early 360 days and I am not worried. I do not see how Xbox is failing dramatically? They are making games that I enjoy. Therefor I am happy.
Looking to the future, I have always thought of the Xbox as a PC wrapped in a shell, so nothing new for me there.

@Isolte I get it. She is not happy with seeing what has become of what she created. But time marches forward. Sony have made some terrible decisions, in fact every industry has. But currently, I am happy with the brand. No one knows where it is going. I am just enjoy the here and now.
What ever becomes of the future of the hardware, that is yet to be seen, so why worry? Enjoy gaming

For me, I think the brand is as strong as ever. My Xbox is giving me so much joy atm compared to the dust collecting ps5.

My biggest issue with PS Plus is the scam that is called the Premium tier. For the past 3 months (could be 2), they have only added 1 game for the Premium tier. 1 game!
For me, PS Plus has had a shocking few months

Was not expecting High on Life 2… and so soon!

@OldGamer999 I know Push Square is a PlayStation site but there as so many fan boys (ponies 🤣) over there that are only ever happy by the idea Microsoft/Xbox ‘loosing’ the none existent console war. TBH, and I know this may go down the wrong way, I don’t think some of the writers help 😉

But back to this article… this is great for Xbox Studios in general. More money made to allow MS to keep supporting Game Pass and future games.
It was strange at first but it is turning into a great business decision

Damn… currently in vacation and this will be starting at midnight for me 😂

I would welcome a remake as it is my favourite game ever. I play it every year... in fact I think I am due another series replay very soon

I thought I would never say this but… please slow down MS. I can only play one game at a time!

No stopping MS this year!
We have not even seen their Switch 2 line up yet

@NintendoByNature by comparison to other Atlus games, Metaphor is relatively short. Can be done in 60hrs

I go on holiday at the start of June. Hope my hotel has decent Wifi so I can play Metaphor: ReFantazio by the pool!

I was thinking about doing this as my Series was getting quite loud playing MW2.
Fan was dusty but there was a thick collection of dust on one side of the heat sink!

@themightyant same for me. I tried it when it came out but I wasn’t in the right mood for it

I picked up Red Dead Redemption 2 from the charity shop last week for £2.50 🤣

Imagine if Gollum was in the Critically Acclaimed sale 😂

Would not say the fondest memory but me failing 3 times to get into. It just never clicked.

I use mouse and keyboard on Better Xcloud on the PC and it’s great for the Age of games

@Cakefish I noticed it in the Ultimate Edition during cutscenes. It was in my OLED too.
I guess VRR was ‘added’ automatically by all the systems that the Series auto adds (fps boost, hdr etc)

@Cakefish this is true but there is a nasty bug that flickers the screen due to the vrr. It’s so annoying and I hope they fix it

PS5 vrr is software level (even on Pro).
Series is hardware level.

@Kaloudz just seen. Now to look into the sale for games that I do not need yet, but will probably buy anyway

Is today the usual day for the first wave of Game Pass additions? If so, best hold off the sale until later this afternoon 😂

@OldGamer999 the value of GPU is insane. And on top of that, I don’t have to pay for the game and then pay extra to go online.
I see it like this… the releases to other platforms where GPU is not a thing, is extra money for the MS Studios. It’s good business.

@Fiendish-Beaver as long as they fix the annoying flicker that appears due to VRR, I will be very happy! 😅

This comment section is entertaining and quite sad at the same time.
Not many actually talking about how they are excited to play it. I’m so happy to see that MP is there as there was a rumour going around it would be stripped from a remaster.

I was just thinking about a replay of the Gears of War franchise! Great timing

War for Cybertron on my 360. Forgot how much fun this game is!

@Kaloudz I was heavily playing it when it came out. Could not stop playing it. Only took 28hrs and you are sort of close buy I don’t want to spoil anything

@themightyant thinking of playing Chants of Senaar and Little Kitty this weekend

@Kaloudz I’ve finished it 😂

@Kaloudz it really hope for a sequel. How far are you into it?

Chants of Sennaar Is one that I’ve always wanted to try but keep forgetting to!
Now is the time it seems

@Kaloudz Soooo, never? 😂
33 is incredible and I wish I could play it again, for the first time

Just finished it. Easily a 10.

This has been available for months with Better XCloud and it works really well.
I think the remote play you found in the Xbox App was already browser based, just wrapped in a shell.

Hopefully Oblivion will be added to this list soon!

@Ricky-Spanish Utd fan? 😭

I’ve played a few days on it and unlocked a few things but I do not see the point of the game. I cannot understand how you progress. 90% of the time all the rooms dealt are the same and give nothing in return

The reviewers who reviewed this must be die hard puzzle fans as there is no way this is a game of the year contender.

South of Midnight
An incredible experience

@abe_hikura my odeon charged £5 for Adult and Child. It’s so cheap 😂

I played for about 30 mins and found it rather janky. Not sure when I will jump back into it

Brb… off to New Zealand 🙂

@KayUK this happened to me last year. I ended up getting a full refund but my Ubisoft+ was still active. So I had Ubisoft help desk re link that Ubisoft account to my secondary Xbox account (as my Primary was fully broken for some reason). Now I have been enjoying Ubisoft+ for free since August of last year. It expires this June, enough time to finish Shadows

I think the Patrick Star game is heading our way soon…
