I was so excited with the idea of it coming to Xbox and it never did. The excitement is pretty much gone by now. This is the main reason I stopped supporting Square Enix. FFXV has been on sale so many times, however I refuse to pay for it until they release the remake.
I hope we hear good news, but I wouldn't get my hopes too high.
I guess it depends on the game. I intend to buy all the Kiryu saga of Yakuza after playing them on Gamer Pass, but I'm not sure if I'd like to buy Like a Dragon. Game Pass helps us better judge the games we want, and that's not a bad thing.
@Dezzy70 I agree they are talented for this kind of game, but I imagine purchasing them implies on getting their IPs, which I don't see as a positive thing.
Microsoft could always make a deal with them to create a new exclusive IP if that's the case.
@PhhhCough I'll keep playing, maybe I just feel like the beginning is kinda slow. Some things do annoy me and I'll have to live with them. For instance, the map is confusing as hell and the story so far is a mess and doesn't make any sense to me (or I am just too stupid lol). The gameplay is quite good though, no complaints there.
I finished The Medium last week after knowing it'd be leaving GP soon. Didn't find it more than an average game though.
As for Control, I just began playing yesterday for like 2 hours or so, but I'm not enjoying the game tbh. Still trying to figure out where all the praises for this game comes from.
I'm new to the current gen of Xbox and figured GP games had to be verified on the servers before starting. There were situations where I couldn't play due to internet falter. It's good to know it was just an issue and that they are looking into it.
@armondo36 And how's it gonna help change that? Instead of showing them there's an audience here for their games, you want to confirm they are doing the right thing...
I've had one disconnection so far within 1 month of using the Series S. Opening the power menu instead of the guide is a constant issue too, I'm glad they're addressing this. But the most annoying problem imo is that sometimes the sound glitches when using my ear phones, which yesterday required a full turn off instead of a reset to fix.
@Jo_night My controller's A button is also kind of unresponsive. I figured if the pressure is not in the center of the button, sometimes you'd have to press harder or it wouldn't register.

Re: Former Xbox Exec 'Scared' That Game Pass May Hurt Game Sales

Re: Kingdom Hearts 4 Announced By Square Enix, Here's A First Look
The game looks great, but knowing Square Enix I can't get too excited being an Xbox user. Wouldn't be surprised if they revealed it's PS only...

Re: Another Six Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass Soon (April 11-18)
Thankfully nothing worth rushing to play before they leave!
Re: Tomb Raider Is Back! Crystal Dynamics Announces Brand-New Game
@Dezzy70 what difference would it make? The franchise is on Xbox already...
Re: Quick Resume And Share Button Changes Headline March Xbox Update
I actually use the share button quite often to capture videos whenever I want to see some scene or dialogue I might've missed.
The quick resume pin is also a nice feature though I seldom have many games open simultaneously.

I got Binary Domain.

Re: Taiko No Tatsujin: The Drum Master Launches With Xbox Game Pass Next Week
I honestly never expected to see Taiko no Tatsujin on Xbox, but this is wonderful news! I love these games so much!
Re: Xbox Store Hints At Potential Leaving Dates For Many Game Pass Titles
That would be a bummer as so many titles "leaving soon" are in my wishlist. I hope this info turn out not being true.
Re: Xbox Begins Disabling Dev Mode Accounts, Removing Access To Emulators
Oh well, so it was just a mistake? I'm relieved...
Re: Xbox Team Investigating Issues With Unresponsive Guide Button
@JON22 Holy s*** I thought my controller was faulty!
Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite Xbox Yakuza Game?
I'm playing them all in chronological order, currently finishing Yakuza 3. Right now I'd say 0 is my favorite one and 3 is the worst of them so far.
I'm loving the series though, can't wait to see what happens in the next entries!
Re: Rumour: Here Are Your Xbox Games With Gold For January 2022
Another month I won't use my reward points to upgrade to GP Ultimate.
Re: Talking Point: What's The First Game You'd Recommend Downloading On Xbox Game Pass?
I would say the entire Yakuza series, but unfortunately some of them are leaving by the end of the year.
Re: Pick One: Which Of These Horror Franchises Is Your Favourite?
I like most of the games listed (though I haven't played all of them), but my favorite horror franchise is Fatal Frame.
Re: Rumour: Xbox Has Some 'Big Announcements' To Share This Week
If third party games are among them, I really hope FFVII:R is one of them.
Re: Konami Is Reportedly Set To Remake Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
I think it would be more interesting to remake MGS4. That game deserves to be played by more people than PS3 owners.
