I bought two previous collections from Capcom on Xbox (Street Fighter/Fighting Volume 1) and have literally never been able to get a SINGLE multilayer match in either.
Crossplay is technology that is over a decade old now and still isn't being added as standard and shouldn't be accepted in 2025. No cross-play in a fighter is just a sick joke. Don't buy it, don't support it.
Bought two precious fighting collections on Xbox. Impossible to find anyone to play. No crossplay = dead online for fighters on Xbox.
I have no idea why cross play isn't as standard for fighters in 2025. If it had cross play both those fighting collections would be INSTANT BUYS. But I'm not buying them without it.
What is happening with gaming these days? Can you even choose to turn all that crap off? DLSS, AMD FSR nonsense. Just let me run the game at native 1080p without a bunch of artificial smear that introduces it's own set of problems.
Why do these companies have to overcomplicate things.
Honestly think a Sony and Xbox handheld would both be doomed to failure. Why get either? Xbox consoles don't even sell that much nevermind a handheld too.
One of the worst games I've ever played. Deleted it after an hour. It plays like a bad 360 game. Runs like crap, looks like crap. The thought of people paying £55 for this is actually insane.
@Misternobody When Xbox gives me something to be positive about them I will be. Until then I'll keep waiting for something good. But I wont hold my breath.
You're really going to sit here and pretend like Xbox Studios are putting out must have games? Come on bro.
This has been easily the worst console generation ever. The industry refuses to let go of last gen. We have PS4 and Xbox One games coming out in 2025, 5 years into this console gen.
Why can't they just accept Halos time is done? LITERALLY NOBODY under 30 years old cares about Halo. It will never catch on with Gen Z. It's a boomer franchise.
The Unreal-ening of the gaming industry is its downfall.
Every game made in Unreal is the same ugly, washed out greyish sludge with its same preset default lighting engine. You can tell a game is running on UE INSTANTLY with 1 second of gameplay footage. And it sucks. The performance is terrible too. And games only suffer from using it.
This generation has been easily the worst one in gaming to date.
Almost every big game to date is a big fat dud. Whatever the way games are developed now it must be some by the numbers cookie cutter system because there's no passion, creativity or anything anymore.
These basic generic titles with massively bloated budgets and dev time lead to 7/10 games.
Can Bethesda even make a good game anymore?

No crossplay = no purchase.

Re: Lots Of Games Are Discounted By 90% On Xbox This Weekend (February 7-10)

Re: The House Of The Dead 2: Remake Confirmed For Xbox In Spring 2025
Don't understand the point of remaking a game and it's worse than the original.
Just make a new game? Literally just make a new House of the Dead. Or, actually, just port the originals and let us play those.
1/2/3/4 on Switch and Xbox would be great. Nobody wants these bargain bin cheap remakes.

1080p in 2025.

Re: Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League Offline Mode Arrives Alongside Deep Discount On Xbox
The game is an Epic failure. Pandering to 5% of the gaming market and alienating the other 95% isn't a winning business strategy it would seem.
Oh well. Western studios would literally rather go bankrupt than cater to straight men. Their choice.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Stalker 2 On Xbox Game Pass So Far?
