@ZuneTattooGuy the reason people buy consoles is because of its ease of use and its affordability. Your solution is to use a more complicated more expensive platform.
@EvilSilentFrame I think like others mentioned the “toys to Bob” name didn’t mean anything to Microsoft. So if the few people wanted to leave Microsoft’s guaranteed pay check and restart their company then Microsoft didn’t mind then keeping their “toys to Bob” name. The shares were in activision, not toys to Bob so there’s nothing to buy back.
I really wish I could play this game with full ray tracing at 1080p instead of the limited ray tracing at 4k. It looks totally different on pc max settings.
I understand the games that were in the partners direct couldn’t have been talked about last week but it was silly for Phil to say he wasn’t going to mention the games because that would take away from big reveals coming. And then 6 days later the news drops with basically zero fan fare on Xbox’s part.
Should have just dropped a trailer after the presentation last Thursday.
@Tasuki I would be really happy if the XFL or CFL would give their license to the Blitz crew and let a game be released. Mutant league was good but I could live without all the stadium obstacles and just focus on football. I didn’t really like the mutants either.
@NeoRatt I went from an s to an x because I needed a larger ssd and the prices are insane for expansion cards. I honestly can’t tell the difference in the visuals. But I do like the black system.
@PopularCorpse I doubt Sony had the foresight to put the 360 era and Xbox one era of call of dutys as a part of their exclusive deal considering activision was hell bent on never being on any subscription service. I don’t think Sony realistically saw the acquisition coming.
@BAMozzy I understand you like single player but MP is why activision was worth 70 billion dollars. MP People are addicts and they buy all the accessories.
@Grumblevolcano I made some great friends from open chat while playing 360. Unfortunately everyone merged to PlayStation 4 and never came back to Xbox.
Not everyone knows someone who has a Xbox so they can have a private chat.
Mute buttons work and are pretty simple. If we’re too lazy to press mute I question how much effort we will have to report people.
@Krysus there’s so many backward compatible games without the one x enhancements though. That’s a problem. I’d rather never have a sale and be able to buy more enhanced 360 games then companies not allowing enhancements because they’re scared they may want to rerelease their own remasters.
I really wish significantly more 360 games got the Xbox one x enhancements. Metal gear solid trilogy. The 360 call of duty’s. Ridge racer and the namco games.
@JayJ my wife was in graduate school and she had no time for me during those years. 360 randoms filled the gap. I’m a bit sad knowing I can’t meet randoms or others who need randoms won’t find them either.
I’d much rather the old way when everyone talked and you could mute people then a world where no one talks to each other unless they know each other in the real world.
@InterceptorAlpha I made quite a few friends on Xbox live during the 360 era. They all went to PlayStation and I lost contact. I bought a series s and went and played online and it was quieter than my library. Basically impossible to make friends. Although you might be able to hire a dj. So online gaming is dead to me since I have no one to play with and talking was a big social element of the game times.
I expect the series s console to constantly be on sale while the PlayStation slim will constantly be full price. As a result there will be more than a $50 difference. People like to think they’re getting a deal when things are on sale.

Re: Xbox's Sea Of Thieves Becomes 'Best-Selling' Pre-Order On PlayStation 5
@ZuneTattooGuy I think having access to all the games but Nintendo is more important than what controller.
Re: Xbox's Sea Of Thieves Becomes 'Best-Selling' Pre-Order On PlayStation 5
As a Xbox gamer who does not subscribe to gamepass it makes no sense for me to continue to buy Xbox consoles.

Re: God Of War Creator Suggests New Exclusive Strategy Could Be 'Desirable' For Xbox
I don’t know how Microsoft went from supposedly buying up a monopoly to just throwing in the towel so fast.
They should have lowered the price of the systems by $100 undercutting Sony and never increased their game pass subscription price this generation.

Re: Two New Football Games Are Kicking Off For Xbox This Week

Re: As Of Last April, Xbox Series S Accounted For 75% Of Microsoft's Current-Gen Console Sales
@NeoRatt I went from an s to an x because I needed a larger ssd and the prices are insane for expansion cards. I honestly can’t tell the difference in the visuals. But I do like the black system.
Btw I play on a 75 inch 4K Samsung.

Re: Reaction: Red Dead Redemption PS4 Port Highlights How Amazing Xbox Backwards Compatibility Is

@NotoriousWhiz I already muted them. Really after that they are out of my life.
Re: New Xbox Feature Will Allow You To Report Inappropriate Voice Chats
@NotoriousWhiz I used to just report and mute. Sure this is helpful but the report and mute system wasn’t exactly a disaster.
