Harmony of Despair would be nice.

Played the Goldman demo and was thoroughly unimpressed.

It's very pretty. That's the only pro. Too bad the visuals do a horrible job conveying mechanics, the mechanics themselves are simplistic and shallow, and the level design ping-pongs between uninspired and irritating.

Goldman is basically if Shovel Knight was prettier, but otherwise worse in every possible way. Just play Shovel Knight instead.

In my ideal world the 360 Blades system would still be in use everywhere.

Make the next Xbox a cartridge-based console with retro design aesthetics and at least one game that lets you lock on another game, preferably to add Knuckles as a playable character.

I want to see Secret of Evermore 2: Carltron's Revenge.

I was eyeing one to replace my Steam Deck, but between the price, the recent MS nonsense, and my Deck still working fine, I opted to pass.

If it had included the ability to play all my past XB Original, 360, and Xbone games tied to my MS account though, natively on the device, I probably would've jumped immediately into a few rounds of Harmony of Despair.

I was seriously considering the Xbox Ally X, but ultimately decided against it. My Steam Deck is still going strong and there are better uses for the money.

Yoshi P with facts.

It should be illegal for anything to deny you the FREE option to turn ads off.

That d-pad looks like it will be either amazing or terrible with no in-between; I'd have to get my hands on it to see. I also wish there was a wired-only version.

There needs to be legislation that forces companies to make source code available like a decade after a thing releases.

Should apply to anything and everything, games included.

I'm pro-AI, but as a tool to help people, not as a lazy way out for greedy execs to save a buck at the expense of staff.

Slop is slop, and executive greed is executive greed. This ad is un-freaking-believable, especially given recent events.

AI is a tool; if it didn't exist Microsoft would find a way to prioritize executive profits over its own workers regardless.

Like, why do you think Disney, another big, evil corporation, is suing over AI? It isn't because AI is "evil" and Disney is good (lol); it's because these rich mega-orgs want to be the only entities who have access to it.

Microsoft deserves your scorn; agreed. As does greedy use of AI, or ANY method, to enrich corporate profits at the expense of workers. AI itself is not the problem though.

Give me Xbox. I'll fix it in a year.
