I bought halo 5 might get into the multiplayer always heard good things, but never got around to playing it. So hopefully it's still active. Plus I wanted to complete my halo collection lol
I'd like to hate on the S' pricing, but as far as the s goes it's still the same price difference when compared to the ps5 digital at launch. It still $100 difference, but gamepass price increase since launch has killed it's interest for me. However the series X price increase is freaking insane...
Happy just to keep using my Rog Ally with those price points got the more expensive model of the OG one for the a lower price than the cheaper model of this.
As much as I love forza motorsports I don't see it returning. I had a decent time with the series version, but I was disappointed at the time of release. Maybe it's better with patches idk.
Neither because I already own the rog ally z1 extreme. Works well for most games and honestly I imagine the z1 extreme is already more powerful than the x2 a version which i got on sale for $450 when it goes on sale for regularly.
Astro bot and re7 were the killer apps for me on the psvr 1 and the psvr 2 had re8 and re4 for me too, but honestly these days my psvr 2 gets used as a pc vr head set for the most part. I feel like I got my money's worth, but it's not for everyone.
I loved snap for going through games and enjoying a netflix show on the side. I used the hdmi in to connect a android tv box to it so I had a completely separate remote for it. It was nice and I was really disappointed by it's removal
My only real concern about if xbox doesn't compete on the console front is sony will get too cocky again and start pulling stuff they wouldn't try without a big competitor.
@x3King84 it works well. The only reason it seems to be labeled playable on steam and not verified is it needs to pull up the keyboard to sign into Xbox accounts.
I loved it tbh. I enjoyed being able to play some music through an app I wanted with a android tv attached to my system. It was great for watching a netflix show too. I miss it.
I really enjoy game pass and I feel like it allows games with a large variety to be made and noticed it’s not very often we get games like Pentiment, palworld and hifi rush among others these days.
I think it was one of the last generation where it felt like development time was long enough to make great games and short enough to ensure there were alot of great games to play on the AAA market. Now days games take too long to make and are expensive to make. Now most of them are filled with ways to make back the money. I just think it's a sign of the industry more than it is my displeasure with xbox. If it wasn't for indie games I think the last two generations would be barren for content alot of the time.
In all honesty I had fun with it and still on occasion, maybe once a year, it will get busted out at family get togethers. Although like Widley85 said it was a bit limited and I feel like that limited the games it was good with. I feel while the tech in the wii was more primitive more could and was done with it. I still wish I could get that IR pointing on modern consoles for Rail shooters and the ocassional fps gameplay. Gyro doesn't do it for me tbh.
I still play them online with friends to this day. It's a treasure trove of content. I actually bought it again on steam during the christmas sales to play the single player campaigns on the steam deck.
I hate the frame pacing on Arkham asylum to the point I wish they just allow me to just use the xbox one s version with the 30 fps cap. It doesn't matter now as I bought the pc version on steam and those run 60 fps on a potato these days outside of arkham knight.
In all honesty I think the last gen consoles will probably get games until the day the next gen consoles come out at this rate. The install base is so large between the ps4 and xbox one I imagine most publishers and smaller developers wouldn't try to put a version out on those consoles.
They just need to stop responding tbh. It's not gonna help the people who dislike the game like the game more (there are some who haven't even played it complaining tbh). It's just going to create resentment. I loved Starfield. It's not a perfect game, but it is a very good starting point for a franchise or dlc packs. Complaining to twitter doesn't help anyone really.
Id like to be as I’ve loved every single GTA game for the most part, but part of me feels like this isn’t the rockstar I loved anymore. It has really felt like they became the money hungry company they used to make fun of so I don’t trust them as much anymore.
@GamingFan4Lyf Its not the first time I've seen this. Idk if Phantom Liberty is on disc or a download that is tied to the disc. However with Call of Duty Infinite Warfare Legacy Edition the Cod 4 remaster was available to download via a download tied to the disc so it has infinite uses as far as I can tell. The ps4 version was tied to a download code included in the case.
It's definitely one of my favorite games this year, but this year was so packed with fantastic games. I'm not really surprised it will miss some goty lists.

Re: Five Years On, Xbox Series S Is Still A Fantastic Place For Current-Gen Gaming

@SeaDaVie It's going to be lower because you can just use gamepass to play it for a fraction of the price.

Re: Reaction: Gears Of War: Reloaded Makes Perfect Sense For Microsoft, But Not For Xbox Fans
@BacklogBrad I have a feeling nintendo will likely announce it at a nintendo direct. They like to announce alot of third party there.
Re: Reaction: Gears Of War: Reloaded Makes Perfect Sense For Microsoft, But Not For Xbox Fans
I'm excited about the multiplayer part. Loved Gears multiplayer. It's still a shame we didn't get the 2nd and 3rd games though.

Re: Random: Xbox Fans Want Microsoft To Bring Back 'Snap Mode' On Series X And S

Re: Poll: Are You Buying Forza Horizon 4 Before It Gets Delisted On Xbox?
@x3King84 it works well. The only reason it seems to be labeled playable on steam and not verified is it needs to pull up the keyboard to sign into Xbox accounts.
Re: Poll: Are You Buying Forza Horizon 4 Before It Gets Delisted On Xbox?
I bought it on pc so I can replay it on steam deck. I honestly like it a bit more than 5

Re: Rumour: Major Xbox Series X|S Controller Revision Still To Be Revealed This Year

Re: Talking Point: 10 Years Later, Would You Consider The Xbox One Era Officially Over?

Re: Talking Point: As December Draws Near, How Are Excited Are You For The GTA 6 Trailer?

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition Has On-Disc DLC For Xbox, PS5 Misses Out
@GamingFan4Lyf Its not the first time I've seen this. Idk if Phantom Liberty is on disc or a download that is tied to the disc. However with Call of Duty Infinite Warfare Legacy Edition the Cod 4 remaster was available to download via a download tied to the disc so it has infinite uses as far as I can tell. The ps4 version was tied to a download code included in the case.
