There is a saying as "Timing is Everything!" This diskless version of Xbox Series X, would have been a best solution for me, if it was released at the inseption of recent generation. But it is (unfortunately) too late now. Besides, next generation is not in the too far future, let alone stronger (Pro equevelant) version of Xbox Series X... As it said "Timing is Everything!" I needed that diskless version (with 2 TB ssd) xbox series x since November 2020. I was ready to buy. But It is too late now. Almost 4 years wasted...
I never bought "xbox series s" , "xbox series x" and "PS5". My first reason was "not enough storage". I'll never buy console with inadequate storage. I always wait for revised versions with bigger drive. Probably, I'll skip to next generation of consoles because inadequate ssd (size) problem never sorted out. I got one 2 TB (PCI Express 4.0)+ another 1 TB (PCI Express 3.0) ssd in my PC. Both sony and microsoft wasted too much time to bring solution to inadequate ssd size issue. I'll look into next generation options.
Hopefully, they can come up with good solution. As a happy owner of Xbox + Xbox 360 (Halo Reach Edition) + Xbox One S, I was waiting for Digital Edition of Xbox Series X to buy, which (as you know) it is never released. My, more than 3 years long, GamePass Ultimate Subscription expired, and there is no reason for me to go back (unfortunately). I have more than enough game in my library (on pc + playstation + xbox). So...
Although, I stopped buying physical media since the inseption of xbox one s era, I keep my "Xbox" + "Xbox 360 - Halo Reach Limited Edition" and "Xbox One S - 1 TB - Fifa17 Bundle" consoles with about 50 physical (box) games, which I will never sell.
So... Nobody can accuse me as being "all on digital person"
I am very happy with the consoles and physical games I got.
But, the very reason which stopped me (since the very beginning) buying Xbox Series X, is the disk drive which I do not need at all... I stayed a gamepass ultimate member more than 3 years and I always (patiently) waited for digital version of Xbox Series X. I was totally sold on hardware capabilities of Xbox Series X, but I do not want to (unnecessarly) pay more for the disk drive.
My game pass ultimate membership expired and I do not plan to extend it.
So... we part ways...
I am happy with my pc, which I do not need to spend any extra money for multiplayer functions.
I do not like to be forced to buy membership for multiplayer functions.
Microp-soft needs to declare that they found a good & permanent solution for existing physical media(s) for future (disk driveless) consoles.
With some kind of method, gamers may be allowed to register their physical games to their own account.
Started to play "Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin" after I bought it on amazing (new year sale) price drop. Combat is not really on par with "Nioh 2" but still you just can not have enough. So much fun...
Jolly Co-operation at "Wo-Long"... There are countless fully capable gamer friends out there... It is so much fun to play shoulder to shoulder with them. "Must Exprienced" enjoyment.
Debate must not be about "Which Year?", it should be about "Do You Think It Should Continue With It's Usual Copy-Paste Mind-Set Or Try Some New Approaches?"
That ranking is a utter disgrace for good gamers on xbox world. Not sure what is the source of that issue, but I do not know that xbox gamers have more taste and critical thinking capability as a human being. List needs to re-constructed based on the real opinions of real xbox gamers.
Dear friend @themightyant
Visuals of Dark Souls was way better on Xbox360 (thanks to it's more powerful ATI GPU) than PS3. I immediately started playing on Xbox360 even though I was already platiniumed on PS3.
You know? I owe some my good friends (all around the world) to Dark Souls, because I met them in Lordran. We utterly enjoyed the jolly co-operation together and became really good friends afterwards.
It was so much fun to murder invaders.
Dear friend @RaZieLDaNtE Can not agree more... By the way, I believe the best game song in 2023 is "Quixotic"... It is an absolute crime that it is not among the "Best Score & Music"
Biggest scandal of The Game Awards this is year "Lies of P" was not taken among the "Best Score And Music" nominees. That alone is a solid proof that (people) who ever picks the nominees, are not played "Lies of P"... Maybe they are not even a games, I do not know... What I do know is, Leaving the "Best Score And Game Music" of 2023 outside is unforgiveble scandal. Probably, I am not going to waste my time to watch The Game Awads this year.
I enjoyed The Gunk, that is why I bought it afterwards with no hesitation. I played it on my xbox one s (via game pass). For higher resolution enjoyement I bought it for pc (on steam). Works even better with more eye candy way.
@Kaloudz It is not possible to compare Wo long with Elden Ring, because it is pretty much "apple to orange" situations...2 different type & style games... It is certanly worth to play both... No need to give up on either... Both have a place on Souls Genre...
Dear friend @Kaloudz Regarding difficulty of Wo Long: As long as you do not rush directly to boss fight on each map and keep your Morale at highest level, you can easily say that "it is very enjoyable game"... Just keep leveling up and slowly explore on maps. You'll spend very good time as your fighter becomes stronger and stronger not to mention new amazing move sets and spells... You do not need to kill the first boss. There will be a message pop up on the screen saying "Press Triangle + Circle" so you may easily pass to the next level... If you have any grudge agains the first boss, you are always welcome to come back and exterminate him when you are stronger (at higher level).. So... It is very easy...
I do hope that game remains part of the game pass, so we can all enjoy the upcoming DLC's this summer... (Everybody knows that Team Ninja always keep the quality level of DLC higher than the main game)...
As a person, who does not have any xbox series console (I got only "xbox one s" , "xbox 360" and decent pc) I do hope that microsoft may stop shooting itself in the foot... Emulation freedom was (one of the main) the reason for milions of gamers to chose microsoft over sony. I hope wrong decision will be taken back in future... ... I wonder if it was for trying to impress regulators and/or court members of the merge?
I keep saying this since the launch of the new generation consoles "We need at least 2 TB storage..." Not sure if "PS5 Pro" or "Newer version of Xbox Series X" may (finally) bring it, but world needs it (badly) nonetheless...
