I’m gonna be rude here mate and say what’s going on here?! Go back to OG Xbox you can play music cds, games, movies, go to 360 you can now as before Rip your cds allowing you to game and rock out to your favorite tunes, you can watch movies, you can now stream and own digital content, now we don’t have a movies anywhere app anymore; you can’t rip or burn anything, and games in the future will just be digital unless you want to buy an edition that comes with stickers and a poster for almost $100 mind you current consoles are priced closer to 800-900$ after taxes in most places; and then Zenimax wants to push an agenda where we should be excited they are adding made up scores to mess with all our little gamer brains because now the Achievement's list is going to be called something else? Who flipping cares…I wanna hear about good games coming out and really awesome technology they can probably implement to current consoles with patches….but instead yeah let’s talk about achievements that is so cool for the future of XBOX I can’t wait to find out how many people also beat the first level of the same game. sarcasm fades into the abyss as my screams faint into desolate echoes

@Mr-Cage really Mr Cage?!
My brother took a few discs and really messed up an Xbox 360 we both shared but as far as the Xbox One X and the OG XBOX and Series X I own now I never have a problem! & I use my console to watch tons of movies I buy discs all the time!
We have got to get this conspiracy by Xbox to ruin your discs drives!!!

@Balaam_ they are totally going to do that and come out with their pants and discless out for all the majority of gamers today to ….

😳

@Fiendish-Beaver markatrons comment sounds like the best route possible
Would you get a helix if it didn’t have a disc drive and really wasn’t much of an improvement right away for a price of over $899 possibly??

@bert0503 4K disc drives are already close to $300 at times idk when you got your Xbox SX
It was the diablo bundle period when I got it so I saw the price fair seeing as it came with a disc drive made paying $599+ worth it at the time

@Markatron84 prophecy because sounds most realistic it totally makes senses

So in the South lol in the states as of a couple years possibly most large tech retailer stores like BestBuy don’t really even sell DVDs or 4KBluRays anymore only physical media available is for some reason Vinyl's with its come back last century and video games….i keep reading business insiders interviewing business leaders saying discs are out of the game as all sales are usually above 80% if not more digitally anyways
So maybe if we imagine the company will do something only a small % including myself cater to and want but over the years the companies shell the world and I’m sure they will do the no disc thing
Sony already tried selling disc drives for close to $100 and that didn’t fair well they totally scrapped it now
Xbox could keep discs and I’d want them to and this new program could be cool or it could be a mess possibly too of not anything different anyways like mentioned
But I have to be negative on this one because Xbox is now Sharma and she’s obviously just about numbers and achievements for discord sharing

So hardcore! Just if we could get Quake 4 back on modern consoles

@Mr-Cage you should try wildlands if you haven’t I swear it is just mercenaries playground of destruction restricted but with ghost recon stuff

Mr Cage we have flooded the GTA 6 article with comments about anything but GTA 6 🖖

Question….i have the Xbox one version it seems the upgrade is only for new purchase or re purchase of wildlands as the Xbox series x version to gain these updates..?….?!..?

@Mr-Cage yeah but at least we have good online humor even if trashing most stuff personally I have to cool my horses since I’ve been jesting and possibly might’ve made some enemies already but it’s all in good form. The upcoming Fable will be loads of fun from what has been shown; the classic Fable is always a great visit of course via backwards compatibility and did you ever try that Fable 2? One I remember fondly!

Which is what it is about GTA maybe the GTA I remember fondly was very silly while making a constant satirical joke on many aspects of the human condition in my levels so you know it would maybe make about some satirical but current take on events and then you’d have to set on fire over 200 gang bangers in a portion of the map but it’s more than that now and so I bow my head to that and await great things but if not Mr cage and myself told you so

Now that’s FOOTBALL!!!!!

@Dalamar for accessibility gamers sure good for Halo idk…not a fan of games that have the objective on the screen all the time or make the models raise their upper lips in close ups…looks like Sharma isn’t either

I recently played WILDLANDS I think it’s called
The first one of these open world Ghost Recon titles…it’s in Bolivia and you’re the leader of a squad of 3 dudes that you sorta can command they’re alright and I didn’t master controlling them but you can customize your characters outfit lol and the missions were letting me use some quirky night vision whenever I wanted and literally allowing me to go about the missions however I wanted….i mean almost as close to phantom pain in allowing me to do whatever I wanted….if those other ones are anything like that one they have got to be pretty darn fun and a good time if anything I’d recommend trying them out for free if you can!

@Mr-Cage on this one we’ll go back to our previous banter in one of these comment sections…it’s just that we are more Wise now is all MrCage

I totally agree though maybe this one just ain’t for me either but hopefully I am wrong also

They fired the people who were behind doing things like
Putting a constant mission objective on the screen while you play the game that never goes away
Adding a zoom in feature to every weapon
Adding banter between MC and Johnson as they open panels such dialogue as Johnson telling MC one day they need to add an AI to him aka Cortona spoiler alert
Putting cutscenes in a linear horror scifi FPS shooter
Putting an ammo count on the needler
Making cortona and future AI models in game make quirky and cute looks

Oh…

@Coletrain so much fun there

Crazy that star field stays above a $15 price point on any sale
The HP Lovecraft game looks cool but seems to be regarded to be not so great what a shame
In price from what is mentioned and as I’ve played them I can only recommend for any hardcore gamers Doom or Deathloop; anything else is too high price point to be regarded as a good discount: if you like games like renanimal then I guess that a good sale but I don’t even know why games like that exist. I don’t play FNAF

The darksiders on X upgrade removed Dolby vision support and the games gave so many new bugs and audio and visual glitches in the cutscenes it’s not worth it for anything below $5 be real with the readers cause I’ve played them

Lots pretty cool for handheld shenanigans

I can already see it; just like the red and blue see through ones; this one will also be the generic controller with a new paint coat: just one side with grip for your hands on the back not wrapped around: and it will have a very roughly decorated gears symbol on it: making it look at least $50 worth not close to $100 after taxes
I stopped buying these limited time controllers after the starfield one the trigger gave out and I invested in a red see through one and that one fell on me and the joystick was all weird ended up literally grabbing a default black one to use since this article gave me controller issue PTSD

@Kloppo the new CEO is not Phil Spencer I don’t see any fat to trim on her body

but honestly the global economy is so messed up you can’t even work for a huge corporation make an awesome product that sells thousands if not millions of copies and still keep your job? Unless you somehow are in a way related to India and you knew Satya Nadella from dinner and got a call while doing Pilates and letting out a smalllllll fart that you are now the CEO of a gaming company.

Whoever is saying AI can help; I think AI could help maybe doctors find cures for stuff but why the Heck would you want some computer telling you what colors would look nice in your art? No thanks

@Shinato2024 but you ruined it with the AI can help part bud

@Shinato2024 agreed especially on the hype and those companies getting a pass on patching over time

@Fiendish-Beaver that’s prophetic and sounds about right

The extended look is gonna show you can go to an ice cream shop and have ice cream in the hot because they wanted to make it realistic they’re also making it really hot in GTA and the economy is also really messed up so this time around your character not only has to steal but you have to be a man and a women and find work and that takes a turn because for the man he can only find work outside in the lawn and the women she can only find work dancing so that’s where the twist comes in and our characters decide they are gonna be mastermind criminals so they go ahead and a huge twist of the game by the modern producers at rockstar the man changes and will become the women and the women the man GTA6 Orlando

@Balaam_ ah cheap dumb fun those were the saints row days back in the day

@Mr-Cage it’s gonna sell like crazy and influencers will only talk about it…get ready to see even McDonald’s do a GTA meal….and I bet the game will be very accessible I’m thinking the main objective will stay blasted on the screen while you play

Mr Cage I have the same taught about this game honestly though: I think the days of a very mature GTA are over and onwards…I think this GTA will be more like Roblox or FNAF 👽

@BethesdaBoyz I think the dialogue is very….generic though, like: an expendables series movie…like my character I was glad I put a mask on the design part because once he spoke and I couldn’t change his voice he did not sound TOUGH he sounds like a sarcastic office guy

@HelloCraigo dude; this game is an open world fun bag: the first mission feels like they took the old school game mercenaries and just put a Tom Clancy logo on it and after that I like to think this game is that Mercenaries game without buildings exploding: you can pretty much do and play however you want from the get go; the first mission there’s a couple trucks for you to use..the game letting you play however you want…I freaking walked in the forests until I made it to a hill I could see the objective and I snuck in and took everyone out like a GHOST

It’s cool but; but it’s odd to me no? Xbox already has achievements? What’s wrong with those? We’ve had it on consoles for a couple generations now….you can keep putting make up on that chicken but it’s still a chicken and it’s not flying here ok…
I can’t believe such importance is put towards features like a slick dynamic background or achievement updates when the consoles are being priced at over $600 and companies are discussing removing physical media…but yeah cool that I can get a digital trophy notification for a few seconds that tells me I’m a % of players who had done the same thing…..I’m not happy Sharma

Well before you play any of those great titles you brought up; just know that in comparison to any of those the Max Payne playtime is much shorter and you can experience the entirety of the game in a couple binge worthy nights I think it might be 5-6 hours long Max (haha but yeah short game)

@GuyinPA75 I’m so behind and with the cost of the LG I do own it’s almost not in my mind to save for an upgrade so you’re lucky to be able to even be able to have DV2 I bet that is going to be a game changer; I don’t want to get all spec crazy in here but I legit love the series X because it can do 120HzDV and spec shenanigans like that are important in my op; mind you i do hope those issues get fixed for you in a future patch

@Mr-Cage when I go back to gaming on LIVE I shall call upon you! Currently don’t have live haven’t played online since the 40k release it was as close to a new gears at the time; which is why I ask all you gears out there to bring it to the locust! …until I join the fight

@Mr-Cage you mean more wise Mr Cage ✌️👽

@Clutch9000 so I didn’t play but I watched someone play>_< BUT I did mean that one about the BUTT so we are on the same side here: it is like the butt game and to me some other butt games too (like some on PS that are in ancient Asia by a team that has NINJAs in it (elusive here) team ninja SHIFTUP etc
I think it’s been Shat on already as most reviews are fair if that; but I think games like those butt games have a crowd and for that crowd don’t you think it’s good? Like if you liked and so did I and I didn’t even play it I think it’s got to be given some time to get patched before being dunked on

@fatpunkslim the only politics we need in gears are chainsaws

@Mr-Cage doesn’t matter what we are WINNERS THAT IS RIGHT
WE ARE WINNERS

@8th_Observer sir please just stop the door is open come in

WOW GEARS FANS you did what?! LAME! WHY did we not agree to agree that all they had to add was BIG HEAD mode

You know monster hunter wilds is just millions of years into the future of the SIMS universe?

@Sindayl check out a website called
Eneba

but I got BF3 for half off last year on the Microsoft store it’s just a matter of time before you can get it on sale I bet again: the games rather great so paying anything above $20 for the content still should be deemed ok

@dskatter I think BG3 will get the Skyrim experience and will definitely land on that one day just you wait; maybe your words have started the tumble towards that release itself D20?

Yeah it’s pretty cool you can play handheld if you have solid internet connection; I think everyone should just let Nintendo do handhelds since they’re catering to babies and let the grown ups keep the big consoles we have to put on the entertainment stand 🙈

@Balaam_ where all here shouting at Xbox and the world “what have you done?! YOUVE created a Time Paradox! XBOXXXXX!!!!!”

@Balaam_ for real I think Sharma is definitely still working at Meta
Influencers decide the world now

What kinda gamers are the ones asking for these features?! Oh yes; marvel rivals and Fortnite players? No?…how about some actual features like making sure the console is updated perfectly: make sure they take advantage of licenses like the Dolby Vision license on titles: ensure every title is stable (man I love playing the Xbox series x connected to an lgc2 so I get 4K@120Hz <but gosh would I love a feature to do FaceTime on my Xbox>like what?

Guess I’m in the minority but I just want to play the games, have them run well, sound great and look amazing; idc about sending an emoji of an eggplant on Xbox frankly

The PlayStation version will have added skins that allow you to play as crash bandicoot/the bean bag kid from that one game sackboy
That will mediate the lack of sales on Sony consoles just watch those PlayStation fan boys can’t get enough of dressed up like Crash

In all seriousness; the chief never left baby halo music intensifies AND ILL BE DARNED if I don’t say something the MCC is still GOLD…anything Halo is awesome whether I like it or not; because war never changes
