Had 419 boxed Xbox games across 4 platforms. Been Xbox supporter since 2001 but can do that no longer. Sold my 5 consoles and games Saturday. Bring on Switch 2 and maybe a PS5 in the near future.
Well yeah the Series X is for sure the last Xbox that plays physical media. Xbox has been awful on that front since Xone. The big question isn't whether PS follows suit with PS6 but will there be a next Xbox ? If it is all digital why would you choose it over a PC ?
MS are a software/tech company that offers some hardware and Xbox will be the next windows phone. Just is what it is
I really enjoyed Origins,Valhalla more than any AC creed game. The world, gameplay and story was all improved over the mainline series imo. I did however enjoy Syndicate and Black Flag as a side note
@Baler I feel the same way, played the newest Xbox releases this year on PC but I do prefer console gaming so the Switch and X1X gets the most love. Hellblade 2 and Avowed will probably push me over the edge lol.
I really enjoyed Halo Infinite campaign at launch (many time since) and everything points to the MP being much better now. That said of the 4 listed Halo would be my favorite followed by Ori and then Elden Ring rounding out my top 3.
I just keep reminding myself Hellbade 2 and Avowed is releasing this year.
2023 lineup sounded/looked strong but besides Hi-Fi Rush (great) none of the 1st party games were very good and they failed miserably with Redfall and Forza.
Well I'm sure it was just a jab, but it tells you where the AAA gaming experience is truly at. Release broken game and maybe possibly fix it in the next 2-3 years
I mean get those W where you can find them Xbox lol. Switch sold 60k+ 👀
Honestly don't think Japan are that interested in the lil PC twins. Sure PS5 will move a bunch of units when they get stock but then will it still be in 2nd place to Switch ? Maybe 3rd when Switch successor arrives.
For me I will be excited when/if Toys 4 bob, Raven software, High Moon Studios and Infinity Ward can make something besides Cod.
Raven made Singularity, High Moon made Cybertron games plus many others so hopefully they get the budget and time to make something that they want to make.
Fingers crossed it's not some GAAS/MT filled turd like we have been seeing way too much of.
Another new game released months too early imo. I have been down on it because of the always online and career progression but FM7 is clearly a better racer.
Besides some nice window dressing this has been a very disappointing release.

Re: Xbox Divides Opinion With Controversial Response To Baldur's Gate 3 Bans
@OldGamer999 I believe its obvious they are moving away from hardware. Maybe one more console generation and its Gamepass full steam ahead
Re: Xbox Divides Opinion With Controversial Response To Baldur's Gate 3 Bans
They will fix it and apologize but you can count on Xbox taking a few weird black eyes a year.

Re: Xbox CFO Explains Why Microsoft No Longer Reveals Console Sales
MS is gonna move away from consoles sooner rather than later. Just facts at this point and why shouldn't they ?
Been seeing this for a while and I hate it.
Re: Phil Spencer: We Will Think Of Nintendo & PlayStation Users As 'Part Of The Xbox Community'
@Mephisto2869 Been saying Xbox consoles will be a dongle and controller for over a year. Phil can say whatever but their actions speak volumes.
Re: Some Xbox Fans Aren't Happy About 'Intrusive' Call Of Duty: MW3 Ads
Always online, drm, tells you what controller your allowed to use, subscription based gaming platform.
The future has arrived.

Besides some nice window dressing this has been a very disappointing release.

Re: Talking Point: Is Forza The Best Racing Franchise Of All Time?
Forza MS is as much sim racing that I want. My favorite was 4 and is still the one I reach for.
Favorite arcade racer is Burnout 1,2,3 and revenge. The speed and action was masterclass
Far as multiplayer goes its Mario Kart. On the couch with friends/family is always good for laughs and the only online game I play anymore.
Re: Three Games Announced For Xbox Game Pass At Tokyo Game Show 2023
Already had Man who lost his name preordered but no denying the W this is for Game Pass subscribers. This will help move some consoles as well.

Re: Payday 3 Dev Says 'We Need You To Be Online' For Upcoming Xbox Game Pass Title
@BlazeGawd007 I think it will become the norm as we take leaps and bounds to be digital only.
Nintendo will be the last place where you can buy a physical game and play it on a actual real console.
