Looks awesome! Always been interested in the franchise but the settings were never to interesting but this looks right up my alley. Somehow I have the Gold edition preordered already for 50% off, gotta love random Amazon price glitches lol!!
Series S is pretty regularly on the shelves in my area. Plenty of times I've seen 3 or 4 in the case at my local Walmart. This is a great deal though, I'm sure Gamestop will have a similar deal for us on the other side of the pond soon.
@mousieone You aren't at all, its been virtually flawless for us for years. Though admittedly I live in what is essentially one of the optimal places in the world for it. Really is indistinguishable from playing on actual hardware from my experience at this point.
Really hope they fix some of the issues with V2 of this phone. I was very interested in purchasing it but was put off by some of the coverage. This is an awesome feature though, hope more cloud games get touch controls in the future!
Tried it shortly after release but never got too far into it. Just didn't click with me at all. Hopefully CDPR can right the ship and deliver a banger for the Witcher 4!
This is awesome! Though I have no real nostalgia for the brand at all, I love seeing folks excited for things. Hope they have some great things on the docket to celebrate!
Looks surprisingly great! May belongs to Mass Effect for me but def want to check this out in the future. Hopefully the comic style exclamations can be toggled off.
@Arcnail I was thinking the same exact thing, crazy we're only 2 months from E3 time!! Lots of interesting rumors here and none seem too far fetched, exciting times ahead!
@blinx01 same here, really looking forward to trying out the PC app. Works well now with my phone/tablet connected to the TV but PC would be more ideal for how our setup is. Really hope its not to far behind the iOS version.
@roe its really no different than playing on a switch with most modern phones. Even my kids' phones have larger and better screens than a Switch so it's really not to much of a comprimise on that front.
Phil has done an amazing job with the Xbox brand, even as someone who mainly plays on PS it can't be denied!! Look forward to see where he takes the ship next!
We've been playing all morning and been having a blast with it! Thank god for crossplay and xcloud, great to be able to play with both of my kids at the same time!!
Hoping we get a cloud version of Octopath in time. Usually not into these type of games but loved the demo on the switch, just never got around to the full thing. Great addition.
We've had a good bit of fun with it since the update, 60 FPS def makes a huge difference here. Probably won't keep our attention for too long until the next content drop but it's been fun to get back into.
@Medic_Alert Totally agree with you there. Both Sony and MS seem to be buying up every aspect of the gaming world and I'm not sure how good of a thing that is either.
I admittedly didn't think much of smart delivery when it was first announced but seeing first hand the issues going from PS4 to PS5 versions, Microsoft was really on point with it. Kudos to them for being much more forward thinking on this particular issue!
Not surprising at all. In my experience Stadia actually worked better than Xcloud but the games/business model surrounding it was a disaster from the jump. I give it another year before they shut it down completely as Google loves to do.
@LiterallyDoNotCare If you don't find value in 2 bucks a week for Ultimate than I dunno what to tell ya lol. I'm not even a big Xbox guy but to me it's a no brainer, but there's still plenty of options for ya man.

Re: Ubisoft Didn't Want To 'Abandon' Far Cry 6 For Last-Gen Consoles
That sounds really noble but they did it because of money lol. No reason to beat around the bush.

Re: With GAME's New Trade-In Offer, You Can Get An Xbox Series S For As Low As £39.99
Series S is pretty regularly on the shelves in my area. Plenty of times I've seen 3 or 4 in the case at my local Walmart. This is a great deal though, I'm sure Gamestop will have a similar deal for us on the other side of the pond soon.

Re: Rumour: Xbox Has Five New AAA Games To Announce At E3
As long as I get some Forza news that'll make it a succesful event for me!
@CrazyJF It probably wont, though in all honesty anyone still saying that shouldn't be listened to in the first place.

Re: Co-Op RPG Shooter Outriders Is Now Available With Xbox Game Pass
@Halucigens yeah, it's not going to win any awards and will probably be a solid 7 on Metacritic but it's a fun romp especially with others!
Re: Co-Op RPG Shooter Outriders Is Now Available With Xbox Game Pass
We've been playing all morning and been having a blast with it! Thank god for crossplay and xcloud, great to be able to play with both of my kids at the same time!!

Yikes! I just played through this last month on the PS$ and had a decent time with it. Definitely not a good look here though.

This is great, hopefully a good amount of people give it a shot. I've loved the service since I've had it!
Re: Five More Games Are Now Available With Xbox Game Pass (March 25)

These look great! Awesome they have a variety of colors after only a handful of months!
Re: It's True, Marvel's Avengers Is A Very Good Upgrade On Xbox Series X
We've had a good bit of fun with it since the update, 60 FPS def makes a huge difference here. Probably won't keep our attention for too long until the next content drop but it's been fun to get back into.
Re: Microsoft Reportedly In Talks To Acquire Discord For Over $10 Billion
@Medic_Alert Totally agree with you there. Both Sony and MS seem to be buying up every aspect of the gaming world and I'm not sure how good of a thing that is either.
Re: Thanks To Smart Delivery, Marvel's Avengers Is A Much Easier Upgrade On Xbox Than PS5
I admittedly didn't think much of smart delivery when it was first announced but seeing first hand the issues going from PS4 to PS5 versions, Microsoft was really on point with it. Kudos to them for being much more forward thinking on this particular issue!
Re: Xbox Has Confirmed 'Some' New Bethesda Titles Will Be Exclusives
Glad this point was clarified after months of speculation. It's a great win for MS fans!!

Got one! In and out easy peasy
Re: Microsoft Unveils The First Batch Of 'FPS Boost' Games For Xbox Series X|S
MS on a roll this week! Sounds very promising!
Re: Google Stadia's Studio Closures Were Influenced By Xbox, Claims Report
Not surprising at all. In my experience Stadia actually worked better than Xcloud but the games/business model surrounding it was a disaster from the jump. I give it another year before they shut it down completely as Google loves to do.
Re: These Seven Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (February 18-25)
Dirt 5 is a huge get! Very fun game that only came out a few months ago, hope you guys enjoy it!

@ThanosReXXX Thanks for that link man, will definitely help me out in the future!! Appreciate it!
Re: Microsoft Confirms Xbox Live Gold Is Getting A Price Increase
Still looks like you can snag it for $60 from most retailers if you aren't pleased with the change. Better stock up folks!
Re: Microsoft Confirms Xbox Live Gold Is Getting A Price Increase
@LiterallyDoNotCare Perhaps because they're not interested in a debate and merely wanted to share their opinion, glad you got your point across.
Re: Microsoft Confirms Xbox Live Gold Is Getting A Price Increase
@LiterallyDoNotCare cool bud, happy gaming!
