Some of us never left.

If they change the series X/S start up logo to the newest announced recently , that will be the best ever. But for now I think OG takes my vote.

I hope will be 2028. My series X still have so much more to give. I’m perfectly fine waiting.

Shadow of Mordor / War bundle
Keeper
Herdling
Dishonored death of the outsider
World War Z DLC

And also some games I already have on disc but I am slowly transitioning to all digital on Xbox. So I’m buying them again when on sale.
Master chief collection and Sunset overdrive

News of a new Xbox compatible controller: That’s nice !

Seeing the stick placement: No thanks.

I went fully digital starting this gen, but regardless, it should have disc drive. I still have at least 50 Original xbox and 360 backwards compatible games on disc. some of them are delisted and you cant buy anymore but still play if you own the disc.

Blair Witch also on its lowest ever. its been on my wishlist for years. havent been on sale since 2023! time to buy.

@Ricky-Spanish Is based on Journey to the west. one of the 4 great classical novels of chinese literature.

Not surprised with the increased push for play anywhere. Now it makes more sense to buy digital to get the console and pc version as well.

Is it true you have to link your epic account or it wont let you play the single player campaing? im reading lots of bad reviews on the xbox store regarding that.

I'm a seafarer. I travel 10 months a year for work. I'll get the X verison as soon as i can. No more traveling with heavy consoles or gaming laptops. I'm totally in.

I'm so into this. im very excited. my biggest question is, how about online play. will it be free like PC or pay like on xbox ?

@The-Chosen-one Thats not what this is at all. you can stream yes, but that's optional. you can install and play natively the xbox/pc games you own included as Play Anywhere.

Looks amazing !!

Cant wait! I hope its play anywhere.

@Elbow Its a completely new entry in the series. Is not tied to previous games in story. so it looks very accessible to new players.

@Nintendo4Sonic It is play anywhere. so get it on xbox to have the pc version as well.

No Mortak Kombat Trilogy? thet best of all clasisc MK's ?

As long as they make a dedicated windows 11 portable OS with XBOX app as the heart of the device, that would work. Something that resembles Steam OS. Actually looking forward for this.

@KITG_Group_BrunoB Im there with you. I love xbox but dont subscribe to gamepass. I dont like subscription services of any kind. I only buy the games I know I want and will play.

Already have Sunset overdrive physical but I'm thinking of buying the definitive edition on sale. Am I crazy if I start buying digital games I already own on disc to prepare for the future Xbox handheld?

It better be Smart Delivery, not like GTA V different version optimized for XSX

I am not too much into fighting games but this controller looks so elegant. looks amazing.

Best ones are 2 and 3. worst one by far is 5. those open world areas where a pain.

Backwards compatibility is probably the only reason im sticking with xbox. My physical and digital Og Xbox, 360 and one is extremely important to me.

0% I dont like subscription based services.

Price increase announced in workers day. Thank you for your good taste and kindness Microsoft.

More value to gamepass? imagine paying $240 per year, $1500 in one console generation and own nothing.

@MjJmediablogger it because usually people who loves gaming like to own their games. So they will buy them, not rent them.

I love my xbox series x, but i can only play it on vacations at home. Im away most of the year and i always travel with my switch. The moment Xbox release a dedicated handheld that play games natively, not on the cloud, im there day 1. im holding into buying a steam deck hoping for this as my xbox library is much much bigger.

Buy your games. dont ever depend on any subscription service. not on video games, music, movies, software etc.

Ill pay exaclty $0. Im more than happy with my Series X.

The semi open world parts where completely unnecessary for a Gears game. It ruined the game for me. Not every game need to be an open world. Its in my opinion the worst gears of all. But the hivebusters DLC was amazing. better than the main game,

Nice. i was obsessed with Starbpund on steam like 7 years ago. I would definitelt try it again on Xbox. maybe it will even have better performance.

@Spider-Kev you can do that. its been a feature for years. check your energy saving options. You can lower or completely turn off brightness on the controller home button and the console power on/off button.

Wonder if its gonna be a real physical edition for xbox series x, or is it smart delivery and the disc comes with the xbox one version like 90% of series x "physical" games

I'll get Titanfall 2 Ultimate edition for $5.99.
One more for the backlog

Why Creatures of ava, Dustborn, flintlock, south of midnight have almost the exact same protagonist ? In the effort of modern gaming culture to look "diverse" they actually look homogeneous.

@Frmknst Me. I only buy games. I dont like subscription services. Not once in my life I paid for gamepass subscription.

I dont even subscribe to gamepass. i dont fel comfortable with this model at all. I still buy all my games.

4 or 5 dont even come close to the original trilogy.

4 was just ok. Gears 5 visual quality was amazing but I hated the open world areas. as visually stunning as it was roaming around in that vehicle to reach the next destination, i was also very bored. Those areas are completely unnecessary and i feel they where added because now pople think every game need to be an open world. It does not.

Loved Hivebusters.

I would add Singularity to the list. Amazing game.

A lot of games. so far...
Quake, Quake 2, Doom , Wolfenstein The New order, The old Blood, The new colossus, Dishonored 1 and 2, Planet of Lana, Bramble the mountain king , Far Cry 5 and Sifu.

All of them very cheap in my region.

is it just me or many of the new announcements look very similar? like very generic scifi games with characters using similar armors and helmets?

Not at all. the open world sections of gears 5 where my least favorite parts of the game.

Why was Alan Wake xbox exclusive back in the xbox 360 days and is not anymore? this is one of the things that annoys me as a loyal xbox user. so many good games microsoft could not or didnt want to hold on as exclusive to make more money selling them everywhere. Cuphead and Ori also. No surprise we are losing two generations in a row.

@Banjo- Not really. Resident Evil Survivor, RE the darkside Chronicles, RE The Umbrella chronicles.

Notice how they will release different PS4 and PS5 versions, but only XBOX version? this means it will be the XBO verison and we will download he series x version via smart delivery. this is horrible for us who want a real physical nexgen version.

Simple as this..... DRM need to dissapear. is time to push microsoft to stop this absurd practice. I understand DRM for gamepass titles cause you rent them. but there is never a justification for games you own. digitsl or physycal. games should be yours. remember how microsoft had lot of backlash when they tried to implement DRM on Xbox One launch. but it seems they are now quielty doing it again. This has to stop NOW!

I finished all battle pass first season. but im not willing to do the same this time. I realized i was getting stressed over this stuoid challenges instead of having fun. I'll be back to Halo infinite when we have a normal progression instead of challemges.
