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?
So what does it mean to not have "Day 1" games? When does the standard tier get the games then? Day 2? Not at all? EXPLAIN.
Im definitely not paying £15 a month for Ultimate. I think I'll pay the standard tier. ***** Xbox for this bs. Literally a Call of Duty tax. And I'm not paying it.
We need another wave of games! I scoffed at the last Xbox conference when the new president lady said "here at Xbox we are committed to game preservation".
I find it so odd that rather than make a game with the slew of comic IP they own (Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper, Slaine, Zombo) they decide to make these weird games nobody asked for. Like this and Strange Brigade.
Match composer might be the greatest update they ever made. I'll NEVER have to play a capture the flag mode ever again. Thank God.
It's a shame that it's too late though. The game is obviously dead. The new 20 tier operations literally add 4 items and 16 pieces of in game currency. The devs are very very obviously winding down new content. Probably shifted onto the next game.
Movie games, games that won't release for 3+ years, a black woman in every trailer, "world premier" text before every game shown, trailers with zero gameplay footage, and women screaming a lot.
Halo isn't relevant anymore. It's gone the way of Final Fantasy where it's last good game was decades ago and the younger generation don't know or even care about the franchise.
Why can't they just run games at 60fps? Why does there always have to be super sampling and deep learning super sampling and super resolution upscaling technology and frame generation interpolated technology.
Just get the game to run natively at 60, no?. Stop applying 10 layers of smoke and mirror tricks and post processing layers over my image. Can my game just look nice and crisp please without the nonsense? How much input lag does this introduce? How much does it smudge the image?
Also, apparently you need to have certain specific hardware with special features (VRR/free sync) to even get the most out of it. So open those wallets off.
Imagine if we had social media back in the day and every absolutely garbage licensed game developed had to put out a public apology. There would be 5 a week.

These collections don't have cross play so they're worthless anyway.
Oh, and censorship.
Re: Here's Your First Extended Look At Day One Game Pass Title 'Sniper Elite: Resistance'
Unnecessary game. This series is tired and played out. Who asked for a Sniper Elite 6?
Re: Xbox Series X And S Tech Specs Revealed For Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2

It's obvious any response from Microsoft would just simple be PR damage control.
Re: Sniper Elite: Resistance Launches Day One On Xbox Game Pass In 2025
Literally just the same game as the last 5. Boring. Something new please?
Re: Splitgate Fans Worried Sequel Has Lost Its 'Soul' Following Initial Reveal

Who is putting money into greenlighting all these instant dead on arrival games?
Re: Xbox Attracts Controversy Over New McDonald's Ad On The Dashboard
Xbox is going down the toilet over the past year. Just sad.
Re: Braid: Anniversary Edition 'Sold Like Dogs**t', Says Creator
Maybe make something new? Nobody cares about this game. It was original 15 years ago. But it's 2024 bro. Nobody cares about Braid.
Re: Talking Point: Do You Think This Generation Will Be A Short One?
They're still literally releasing Xbox one and PS4 versions of brand new games. So no I don't think so.
Seen a new game announced for 2025 with XBO and PS4 versions. It's crazy.
Re: Yes, Xbox Has Made A New Controller With Deadpool's Booty On The Back
Deadpool is the personification of tryhard cringe

Call of Duty tax
Re: Here's A Complete List Of All Price Increases Coming To Xbox Game Pass
I'll be downgrading to Standard.
Don't need "Perks"
Don't need Day 1
Don't need EA Play
Dont need Cloud games
Two price increases in one year is shocking. Not happy.
Re: Xbox Game Pass Gets Price Increases And New 'Standard' Subscription Tier
So what does it mean to not have "Day 1" games?
When does the standard tier get the games then? Day 2? Not at all? EXPLAIN.
Im definitely not paying £15 a month for Ultimate. I think I'll pay the standard tier. ***** Xbox for this bs.
Literally a Call of Duty tax. And I'm not paying it.

Capcom. Ideas. Bottom. Barrel. Scraped.
Re: Bethesda Makes Changes To Starfield Mods Following 'Negative Effects' On Xbox
Why not just make it that only certain ini commands can be altered? Ones that don't break the game.
What BS. They don't want you turning off all the worthless modern crap they slap onto the game to cover up how ugly it is
Re: Warhammer 40K Team Cancels Space Marine 2 Beta To 'Entirely Focus' On September Launch
Couldn't be a good sign? Betas are to test servers and bugs and all that. So it'll just release completely untested for public response.
I guess the people paying a premium to get the game 4 days early will be the beta testers.

Re: Sniper Elite Studio Returns With 'Atomfall' On Xbox Game Pass In 2025

Re: Halo Infinite's New Update Adds Handy Feature From Master Chief Collection
Match composer might be the greatest update they ever made.
I'll NEVER have to play a capture the flag mode ever again. Thank God.

Re: Yes, There's A Way To Play World Of Warcraft On Your Xbox Console
I don't understand this. Run your PC through your Xbox? Why? Literally just use the PC. It's already running.
Re: Xbox Games Showcase 2024: Date, Start Times, Rumours, Leaks & More

Looking forward to seeing what mediocrity they can deliver in 2029
Re: Talking Point: If Halo Infinite Is Finished, Where Should The Franchise Go From Here?
Halo isn't relevant anymore. It's gone the way of Final Fantasy where it's last good game was decades ago and the younger generation don't know or even care about the franchise.
