@Utena-mobile As a long-time Tolkien enthusiast, it doesn't bug me these non-canonical corporative products fail. Things like Shadows of War, Gollum, Rings of Power, and the future Warner Bros. films.
They are not made by, nor directed to Tolkien fans.
I have put many hours in this game. Always fascinating, tense, fun, and rewarding. This new major update is a testament of Undead Labs' dedication and love for the franchise.
@UltimateOtaku91 I disagree with you. Your definition creates the impression that the three systems are niche, and that's not the case. There's a huge overlap between their catalogs; each of them offer contents beyond "WRPG" "Cinematic blockbusters" or "family games", and the three of them offer subscription models.
We could agree that each platform has their strong points (and flaws), and they are targeting different use cases.
I give you a point that it could make sense to have the three systems, if someone want access to the exclusive contents in them.
@wouldyoukindly Man, I remember reducing the difficulty in Bayonetta 1 mid-game, cause I couldn't "git gud". I'm not a bad player overall, but those games with a lot of parry are a nightmare to me.
@Cherip-the-Ripper It has been pretty good. I'm playing with my brother plus randoms in multiplayer, so that tops to the experience. We are learning more about the sub-systems in High Rank.
Been playing Soul Hackers 2, it's OK. A bit flat and uninspired, but servicial enough to keep going. Not as colorful as P5R and miles away from the great SMTV.

Re: Poll: How Would You Grade The 'Extended' Xbox Games Showcase 2023?
Sea of Stars and Neon White for Game Pass?! great news!
Towerborne is looking better and better, like a mix between Young Souls and For the King.
Go Mecha Ball caught my eye, as well. It reminds me Sonic 3D Blast.
Good show, overall. Pleasing format.
Re: Poll: How Would You Grade The Xbox Games Showcase 2023?
Great show. Kinitsu-Gami and Persona 3 Reload were my favorites.
Re: Reaction: Xbox Is Set Up For A Winning Showcase After Summer Game Fest 2023
Maaaan, they just need to hit very hard this time. I see confidence and growing expectation. Let's go Xbox!
Re: Atlus Reveals Two New Persona Games, Both Coming To Xbox Game Pass
Incredible. Amazing news for sure. It seems this sunday will be bananas. I hope so. I really hope so.
Re: Xbox Adds More Perks For Game Pass Ultimate Members (June 2023)
Hi-Fi RUSH - Teamplay Costume Pack.
Nice, a decent perk this month.
Re: Summer Game Fest 2023: Date, Start Times & What To Expect
That show is boring. Full of ads and F2P games trailers. Geoff Keighley never sounds authentic or truly excited, just a sales man.
Re: Exoprimal Looks Like Dino-Filled Chaos In New Extended Preview, Hits Game Pass In July
Capcom is on fire right now. My two cents this will be good.
Re: These Seven Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (June 1-13)
Rune Factory 4 Special.
Off course I bought it in Switch and it comes to Game Pass. -_-

Re: We're 'Probably' Getting Mid-Gen Xbox & PlayStation Consoles, Says Take-Two CEO
With COVID and chip shortage, this generation is almost starting. I don't see upgrades happening in the next future.
Re: These Eight Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (May 18-30)
Chicory! Great!
And Cassette Beasts, for sure.
Re: Xbox's Activision Blizzard Deal Officially Approved In Europe
This is good news to create better conditions for Xbox, concerning the shady Sony practices about third party exclusives.

Re: These Five Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (May 2-11)
The bipolar disorder in the internet is something to see.
Strong fortnight: 2023 would be the year for Xbox! GP beast deal in gaming.
Weak fortnight: Xbox is doomed, Game Pass sucks.
I don't understand people who needs hits every week. Do they beat/complete the games or just play the first hour each one?
Re: Pick One: What Was Your Favourite Xbox Game Pass Game In April?
Good month in almost all fronts.
My vote is for Cassette Beasts this time.
Re: Report: Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Reassures Employees Following UK ActiBlizz Decision
@Neverwild No, boring was the part you intentionally omitted.
Re: Report: Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Reassures Employees Following UK ActiBlizz Decision
@GodofCapcom https://www.purexbox.com/news/2022/04/xbox-gaming-revenue-up-6percent-yoy-in-latest-earnings-report
Cool concept of "declining". And yet, you are here worried about this "declining" division making boring plans.
Re: Report: Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Reassures Employees Following UK ActiBlizz Decision
@GodofCapcom "Spend those 70B (well 67B) on your own studios and make up for the 20 years of only creating halo, gears and forza".
Your plan sounds pretty boring. Glad you are not Microsoft CEO.
Re: 'Cassette Beasts' Jumps From PC To Xbox Game Pass In May, And Early Reviews Are Incredible
I like Pokémon, but I've been waiting a 'clone' that could shake things up and move the formula forward. With those reviews, this game is a godsend.
Re: Microsoft President Makes Headline News With 'Furious' Response To UK ActiBlizz Verdict
Next news:
Brad Smith and Jim Ryan nominated to the Oscar.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 is truly awesome.
Re: Pick One: Which Of These Ubisoft Xbox Games Is Your Favourite?
Child of Light, The Division 2, and Trials Rising.
Re: Redfall Will Only Run At 30FPS When It Launches On Xbox Series X And S
Well, that's disappointing.
I'll wait for reviews and performance patch, it's on my radar, but not a priority.

Don't fight, please.

Re: Xbox Execs Congratulate Sony's Shuhei Yoshida On BAFTA Award
Amazing. A recognition to a great and beloved man.
Re: 'Civilization VI' Is Now Available With Xbox Game Pass (March 16)
It's a great game. A next gen patch could have been good to bump the 900p resolution, anyway.
Re: Popular RPG 'Sea Of Stars' Locks In August 2023 Release Date For Xbox
Well done. Buying it.

Re: Xbox Game Pass 2023 Titles Dominate Steam Wishlist Top 10
@wouldyoukindly Wo Long no, I'm pretty bad in games with parry. But I'm playing Monster Hunter Rise atm, and planning to start Ni No Kuni 1 very soon.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want To See Most From The Xbox Games Showcase 2023?
State of Decay 3, but I know it's not happening. UL needs more time.
Re: Sony Just Wants To 'Block' Merger, According To Activision Blizzard CCO
Imaging having Jim in your weeding.
Re: Xbox Games Showcase 2023 Will Officially Take Place On June 11th
Super excited for this. Me, cousin and brother meet every year to watch the show together and share some hot dogs and beer.
Re: These Six Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (March 7-21)
Ni no Kuni II is a pleasant surprise. Time to start the first one.
Re: Pick One: What Was Your Favourite Xbox Game Pass Game In February?
Been playing Soul Hackers 2, it's OK. A bit flat and uninspired, but servicial enough to keep going. Not as colorful as P5R and miles away from the great SMTV.
I'm glad it's on Game Pass.
Re: Capcom Showcase To Feature Resident Evil 4, Exoprimal & More Later This Month
These Capcom Showcase has been unbelievable dull in the past.
Re: Another Eight Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass Soon (March 2023)
Played Young Souls with my SO. What a good game. Cutscenes are bad but you can forward them.
Re: Two Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (February 28)
I'll be playing Soul Hackers 2 for real. I'm not answering the poll just because, this time it's true. xD
Re: Xbox Game Pass Expands To 40 More Countries With PC Preview Program
I'm surprised it wasn't in countries like Perú and Uruguay. Cool to see the service expanding in those territories.
Re: These Four Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (February 28 - March 3)
Soul Hackers 2! Wow, nice!
Re: Octopath Traveler 2's Glowing Reviews Make The Xbox Situation Even More Painful
Sure it's coming.
I played the first one in Switch, but now I'll wait for the Xbox version.

Re: Deals: Xbox 'Anime Month' Sale Provides Deep Discounts On Japanese Titles
