Here’s hoping that they have enough gigabytes to dedicate to the end credits of this game.

All I want is four player split screen multiplayer

I bought a s to play fifa, nhl, f1 and wrc. I’m very happy with what I am using it for.

I prefer one over two so this makes me happy

So I can dim everything to keep the wife happy and then I can use the dpad and the clicks can drive her crazy. Great plan.

I have waited forever for a wrc 9 sale. I’m sad

@mousieone
ill admit I owned two series s and a series x. I sold them all when the money was right and I felt there wasn't anything immediate to play. My birthday is in April which is when I thought Id get my mom to buy one at her local pharmacy with her extra 20% off srs day discount. Shoppers drug mart is my friend. Really I only want a xbox because of its backward compatibility (I have old games) and to play with my nephew far away.

@Dezzy70 yesterday I almost caved and bought a Mclassic cable. Today im ready to buy a series s if I can find one.

when I complain on nintendolife about Nintendos practices I get shunned for being a troll when in fact Nintendo is by far my favourite console. I try to explain that by stating your frustration online Nintendo can at least see our thoughts and rethink their decisions. Im not saying that it was purexbox which got Microsoft to change but clearly they saw the frustration from the community and acted accordingly. Once again xbox will become my second console of this generation.

@mousieone used to have a xbox one simply to play fifa and f1 with my nephew four hours away. he nor me would be buying gamepass.. this news is brutal from our perspective.

what happened to the free online rumour..... I was all onboard with xbox when that rumour was being reported almost as news... now im quickly grabbing my stuff to get off this xbox train (wreck).

@NEStalgia the worst culprit to me is arrogant Nintendo... they are in their own league with apple and Disney... I have a love hate relationship with them.

wonder how many "its fine, i'm not bothered" voters already subscribe to gamepass...?

Also shouldn't xbox be doing everything and everything to win over Sony fans...

Since xbox bought Bethesda it sure seems there has been a growing confidence inside their company which often turns to arrogance which often leads to less friendly consumer practices.

@Hypnotoad107 I had every intention of buying a xbox for backward compatibility but I am one of the fifa and cod players you speak of and as a result have no interest in gamepass.. I will likely buy a playstation if Nintendo doesn't release a switch pro soon.

@AlexOlney This reminds me of the consumer choice to spend even more money for the luxury of lan on the Switch.

@Zochmenos I host splatoon 2 local parties. Come over.

I desperately want halo or cod on switch just for Lan parties. Sadly it's not supported like it used to be on Xbox.

I think this comment section proves not many care about this service

EA means free on gamepass

@eggsbox just sell the xbox series s for 250 next year and all of this will be taken care of. If people aren't willing to upgrade next year to play then microsoft is in a worse situation than I think they are in

@Scenes I would suggest that because xbox has never had free to play, definitely not first party games, that this would be unprecedented and as a result less likely to occur. If past actions is the best indicator of the future than its a long shot at best that your prediction will happen. I can't say with certainty it won't. But the odds have to be against it. Therefore it is much easier for someone to say it won't happen and be taken seriously than someone predicting it will happen and be taken seriously. I might as well ask what this week's lottery numbers are.

But sure I'll amend my statements to "it likely won't be free to play."

@Scenes maybe ftp was their plan but after spending billions on these companies their way of enticing new customers may have changed. It's a year away. All sorts of time for things to change either way. So unless you've been in the future I don't think it's fair to act like you definitively know.

@Scenes How many of those 50 million xbox ones will still be hooked up and or working in 2022?

I also would love free online but it's one of those I won't believe it till I see it things.

@JayJ Amazon is the worst. Although when people complain about companies I believe they are under the impression if they were billionaires they'd continue to be the people they are today. In reality most of us if we got that rich would become just as crappy. Maybe deep down were not so upset these companies get away with what they get away with, but we're more upset we aren't the ones getting away with it while being richer than rich.

@Scenes with that logic it should be playable on the 360 too since that's a hell of a lot of users to ignore. At some point we have to move on. If the xbox one is holding it back it's time to drop it. Series s is cheap enough to upgrade to if you haven't upgraded by next fall.

It's not like xbox one exactly sold gang busters. Skip it would be my vote.

@KelticDevil thanks for the favor

@KelticDevil I ordered it and then found out Halo was delayed. So I sold it on launch day for profit because there wasn't any games to play other than a gears patch.

@KelticDevil nice. But I had a one x and I got a series x on launch day. True fan. Btw I have a job too and it's not being a hitman. No excuses.

@KelticDevil I traded in my s for an x. I guess I have one up on your Fandom quota.

@KelticDevil you really are crazy. Stay safe.

@KelticDevil I thought I was clear that this is the perception of many people out there. I never meant to say that halo wasn't good anymore or gears anymore. Although at least for halo I'm sure critically their scores have gone downhill since 343 took over. I'm sorry you are so defensive and feel the need to be a gate keeper to this thread. Anyways my original point was that these new studios that microsoft owns should become microsot exclusive simply Asa way to help change that "no games" narrative. Thanks for such a friend conversation.

You know on nintendolife everyone seems to think I'm not a nintendo fan despite owning four switches because I spend so much time praising xbox tech and backward compatibility. But I guess in order to be a real fan on either thread you need to pass some sort of community hardcore test. I didn't know each thread had particular members which got to decide who was in and out. And yes look at that gamerscore. That is all the evidence one needs. Not the fact that I spent the energy to follow a site, spent my money supporting the systems and spent my time playing the games. Thanks for letting me know I don't belong here or there. I don't belong anywhere.

@KelticDevil hey I've owned every xbox ever made but what can I tell you. My gamerscore reflects me sinking hours into call of duty games. Which yes I could have played on the playstation console. However I have only ever bought one playstation (the original) and wasgiven a ps3 which I'm sure I never even plugged in. But I have owned every xbox and nintendo console outside of the virtual boy.
None of that matters though. I'm not trolling. The sales numbers aren't trolling. People aren't buying xboxs because they feel or think there's no games on Xbox or they aren't what they used to be. I'm glad you clearly like them. But if you can't see you're in the minority then I don't know what to say.

@KelticDevil pretty sure my gamertag is CAMA08 and I sold my Xbox One X which came with gears earlier this year.

Also is your argument that if you haven't played a game then you can't have an opinion on a game or its publisher? Sure you can. It might not be informed. It might be bias but you can still have an opinion. And the only opinion which matters is represented by how people spend their money.

Look I like xbox because it's the under dog but clearly it's third in this war. I thought they'd have an easier time manufacturing systems then sony during covid so thought they'd get off to a better start. Yet again they are already down 2-1 in sales. That's not good despite how good you think their games are.

@KelticDevil perception is reality and I'm not sure most agree with your assessment. There's a reason Sony is selling better. Also as much as I like gears and halo multiplayer most people apparently want single player story telling games which sony is good at.

The overwhelming opinion out there is xbox "has no games" what they really mean is "Xbox has no games I'm willing to buy an xbox for."

People are not buying an xbox for just halo, gears and forza. Gears isn't what it used to be. Halo isn't what it used to be. And not everyone loves cars. If microsoft doesn't add more first party exclusive games people will just game on playstation. It's really not that complicated. I'm the rare person who would buy an xbox for forza alone.

@JayJ I thought they confirmed no bc.

@Dijita super smooth oled... so you can enjoy every pixel when it's turned on.

@Dijita time to upgrade to a new model.

@Krzzystuff Wayne gretzky 3d hockey

I would have been more than happy to pay $15 for this on nintendo switch.

Just make online free and be done with this.

Btw the playstation vs of Raiden absolutely destroyed the snes copy. Where is my Raiden hamster arcade archives?

@mousieone we argued about graphics way before digital foundry. Which mortal kombat looked better. How about NBA jam. Snes vs jaguar vs genesis vs Sega cd vs playstation vs Saturn. We just used print images to compare.

I don't need 4k but I don't want my Xbox one library to run often at 900p. If everything was 1080p+ then it would be perfect. But come on the series s plays soul calibur 6 720p.

@mousieone the problem is I don't think I have high expectations. The fact that the series s isn't supporting xbox one x enhanced version of backwards compatibility is a huge deal. Much more so than I think a physical drive is. At least in my world I buy everything digital but going forward I don't want the one s version of bc games.

@Fenbops I can't help but think we will get a all digital series x at the same price as the all digital ps5... if that happens shouldn't the series s price drop?

I think the s should be half the price. It's almost there but not quite. Or at least come with sea of thieves or a forza game. Also I was anticipating free online this generation which I guess went the way of the dodo after microsoft bought all these studios. Plus the s doesn't play xbox one x enhanced games. I dunno I love it so much in form factor and other areas but in other ways I am quite hesitant. I returned mine the other day.

You know I think gamepass should have tiers like netflix. I don't know how they'd do it. But there should be a cheaper service for 1080p games.

@mousieone well I like the idea of bc games because they're often pretty cheap. But at this rate if I won't enjoy bc games I might as well wait mid generation and pick up a revised series s with a larger hard drive and hopefully by then there will be a new selection of cheap games. But really games like killer instinct at the very least should be 1080p. It's insane microsoft didn't boost their own first party games.
