I still like the idea of Stadia and am happy to have tried it occasionally since day 1 but their approach has been terrible.

From awful PR and a lack of transparency to now completely giving up their own game development ideas it's baffling to work out what the hell they were thinking throughout this.

Too many issues with it at the moment, unfortunately.

It's a great feature and hopefully in a year or so's time it'll be perfect.

Interesting to see the varied views here. It's another plus for Game Pass really.

Looking forward to giving it a go and if it's not for me then so be it.

Warning, Bros.

It's pretty baffling who makes these decisions. The increase was bizarre, but it's almost more strange that they ditched the idea so quickly as well.

Possibly my most anticipated game. The wait is hard but I believe it'll be worth it. Inside was just so good.

Seems like a plausible excuse to be fair. Although my guess would be it's still coming to Game Pass at some point.

I like the white one that came with the Series S a lot. The standard black is nice too.

I want the blue (and red now!) but already have what must be near a dozen Xbox controllers already so can't really justify it at the moment 😂

The Little Nightmares 2 demo has renewed my excitement for that so when I'm finished with that I think I'm gonna go back through the first one as I never actually got round to finishing the DLC despite really enjoying the main game.

Definitely recommend people checking it out now it's on Games with Gold.

Oooh yes please. One of Telltale's finest

Agree the back should be red

Ugh. Just make a new GTA already

"Last Chance.. until they're on sale again in a month's time"

I'm sure we'll get one someday but it seems crazy to me that there isn't one already out or ready to go. Seems like Microsoft have been missing a trick on this one for a while now

I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much but I do feel there's a fair amount of pressure on The Medium to be at least good.

Happy for more people to get the chance to check out Little Nightmares.

It's not as perfect as something like Inside, but it has some brilliant moments that make it standout as a great game for me.

Cheers all.

It's been an exciting year for Xbox and this place has been great at giving us a platform to follow the news and just talk about Xbox and gaming in general in a fun and relaxed way.

Well their actions say "absolutely not". Even more so when they mention trying to make more single player elements for online.

Pretty incredible how this story is panning out and continuing to surprise us.

What on earth were the decision makers thinking when they decided to "go gold" and then go ahead with the release?!?

Yeah could do with this now after the disappointment of Cyberpunk!

It's still amazing that a guy called Bowser is running Nintendo 😂

Game Pass and xCloud on Switch would be amazing but it does seem pretty unlikely

The extensive library of games (old and new) ready to play is very nice, if a little overwhelming.

The speed at which the consoles power on and just work is probably my standout feature, surprisingly. I have the Series S in my bedroom and it's made my Roku stick redundant. Now I just use the Xbox for YouTube, Netflix, Now TV etc.

Yooka-Laylee >>>

Sounds about right I think. The problems with the game looked much deeper than just pushing it back a couple of months.

Hmm. Until the quick resume feature is properly ironed out this seems a little unnecessary and half-baked.

Yeah that's pretty concerning tbf

Knew who the Gamespot reviewer was as soon as I saw the score 😂

Oooooh I hope so.

I've been playing a bit of Devil May Cry 5 and Mortal Kombat 11 lately. If my anger levels go up when I'm back to work tomorrow then violent video games are definitely to blame!

Must admit I'm a bit baffled that they needed feedback to realise this, but regardless it's still good to hear that improvements are in the works.

"Clothing » Ugly Jumpers" made me laugh 😂

I'm actually pretty impressed by the improvements here. The new camera angle is nice (although obviously that could've just been put on the old versions) but the graphics are a nice step up and something about the gameplay does feel a bit more fluid

I did but it's not really something I'd ever use tbh.

Only time I make use of voice assistants like this is for sometimes changing music when I'm driving

@Tharsman sadly not

Yeah Tetris Effect is absolutely superb.

I think like a lot of people I was quite sceptical of the high praise it got on PS4 last year but it's not really until you play it yourself that you realise just how affecting it is.

Really glad to see the game reach new players on Xbox and Game Pass and the multiplayer modes are great additions too.

@JetSetRennie I had that discount as well but thought it was just because my console came a day late?

I do want the blue one even though I definitely don't need 😂

Played a lot of Nightfire on PS2 back in the day

I'm really happy with the new Xbox controllers as they are. The improvements over the Xbox One pads are noticeable for me. The triggers feel a lot better and it's just more comfortable to hold

@XBontendo oh it's super easy. As Daniel mentions in the hands on, you just plug it into the back and the games are there ready to start a second later.

Very pricey and a luxury at the moment but I'm already finding mine quite useful. I have my Series X and S set up in different rooms so using this to store games I'll play on both is a big time and storage space saver.

My personal recommendation would still be for people to just use a regular hard drive or SSD and copy over backed up games from there as it only takes a few minutes.

But for those that want the absolute best tech, this definitely works as well as advertised.

I imagine it may come to Game Pass about half way though next year.

I havent got stuck into FM for a few years now so maybe this could be my way back in.

I'm really excited for this and, most importantly, when it comes to console. It'll be a real game changer to try out Game Pass games without a download

Oh don't mention Black Friday and Christmas sales haha!

Never played a Halo game before but will now finally check out Combat Evolved and see what all the fuss is about

@Mckilmer said this to myself last night.. And then this morning I picked up Observer System Redux, Little Nightmares, Freedom Finger and Dark Souls Remastered. Those last 3 games I already have on other platforms as well haha

Already got some 300+ games waiting on Game Pass too..

I think we have a problem!

I think I'll be sticking with my LG B7 for a few more years yet.

As @Medic_Alert said, I'll almost certainly be choosing resolution over 120 fps options anyway so 4K60 is more than enough (not that every game will even reach that anyway!)

I've finally been playing A Plague Tale the last few days and really enjoying it (if enjoying is the right word for a game like this..)

I've been dipping in and out of Tetris Effect too and wanna check out Planet Coaster as well.

Game Pass continues to deliver.

@KelticDevil obviously says me. It was my post =

I'm just saying I find it pretty baffling that anyone is paying upwards of £800 for the Series X now. I'm not knocking the console, I've got one and am enjoying it

Yeah I've noticed a few games it doesn't seem to work on. I feel like there needs to be a better way of showing which games are currently suspended as well.

It's a great feature but it definitely needs a bit of work
