Re: Pick One: If Xbox Acquired One Ubisoft IP, Which Should It Be?

dkxcalibur

I'll vote "NONE". Should have been an obvious choice.

Unless Microsoft/Xbox are rescuing these IPs because Ubi is completely done, I'd personally like them all to stay where they belong.

The other exception would be Xbox dumping money into Ubi developing something for Xbox that maybe they haven't done or need help with. Sort of like Nintendo did with Bayonetta.

Re: Opinion: Thanks To Xbox Game Pass, I've Just Changed My GOTY For 2024

I currently have 11 hours into this game. I love it. I've complete 2-3 runs, I can't remember exactly how many but it's definitely multiple runs completed. I've sat down and played this for a couple hours after getting sucked into "just one more game"! I've also used this game as quick sessions to provide a break from playing more story driven games. I also played this game when I've had only 15-20 minutes to game. The game is simple yet very strategic. I find it to really shine when you stumble upon a combination of joker cards that just shoot your scores up.

Re: Pure Xbox Game Club: March 2025 - Road 96

I apologize for asking what I anticipate being a dumb question....but, what is Game Club?

I understand that it's a community group that play a different game each month and discuss it. But is there other criteria? Are the games chosen based on anything or just by vote?

Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of 'Balatro' On Xbox Game Pass So Far?

It's really good. The gameplay and strategy is a lot of fun. I managed to complete a run by the 2nd-3rd day. I have high hopes for what this game can become in future sequels; if they decide to make sequels.

I'm having trouble understanding the comments saying its not a game. Sure it may not be for everyone but it's not just video poker.

Re: Xbox & PlayStation Owners Are Obsessed With Live Service Games Right Now

I think the second statistic is more telling than the first.

The first number is 70% and refers to players who played one of those top 10 Live Service games in the month of January. That could be someone like me who played Marvel Rivals one time for like 30 minutes.

The second number of 40% represents total time spent playing one of those same games. Like others already pointed out, there are other Live Service games that aren't included in that number because they're outside of the top 10. That number is huge! It's almost half the total time played in January is dedicated to just those 10 games....all of which are Live Service.

I also find it interesting that the Switch is probably the opposite. Most of those games aren't even on the system. (this is just a guess, don't kill me if that info is out there somewhere)

Re: Balatro Quietly Joins PC Game Pass, Adds 'Xbox Play Anywhere' Support

I've almost pulled the trigger on this many times over on the Switch but I knew it would show up on Gamepass so I've been patiently waiting. I got to sample it on Dave the Diver.

Last night, I played it for about 3 hours. I loved every minute of my game session. I can't wait to play it again. It's simple, yet very strategic. If you're looking for deep story and killer graphics, this isn't it. If you're looking for pick-up and play fun, it's awesome.
