@shoeses the reason they stopped backwards compatibility is they dont own the games they have to get publisher permission to make a game backwards compatible because its software based backwards compatibility not hardware based. they ran out of games they could get permission for

just buy your 360 games on disc the consoles will still play them even when they are delisted.

unless youve got a series s then you probably dont care out discs anyway

I liked road 96 it was a good game that i would never have played if it wasnt on gamepass.

Sorry will still probably wait till it does turn up on gamepass

@Gamingforlife i have no interest in any of those games

Activison make 2 billion a year in profit so you spend $69 billion to make $2 billion doesnt make much sense to me

@NEStalgia yes sticks are replaceable are expensive considering the post of the actual parts. and them being replaceable basically admits they are a problem

the cost of these controllers should use hall effect sensors so they dont drift

give it time the dual sense edge will have snapped springs and stick drift like other ps controllers

unfortunately in the Uk you will have to use NOW tv as sky has the rights to HBO content

imagine they had actually spent $69 billion making games. thats 345 exclusives at $200 million each

im on xbox and I dont care about anything activision makes waste of $69 billion in my opinion could have been better spent elsewhere

they need outside writers to actually write a good story.

Mind you only 10% of people completed the campaign

I liked halo infinite campaign however i though the story was poor and being stuck to one location certainly curtailed some of the epicness of halo for me.

im not buying it as it will be on EAplay and therefore gamepass by this time next year

its telling only 10% of players completed the halo infinite campaign

New IP not selling is why we now get tons of sequels and remakes. its less of a risk in the AAA space

I will do my usual wait 2 weeks before playing it as patches to sort launch issues will be out by then

gears 1 already got remade and gears 2 and 3 run at 4k 60 now on series X

I think all games on Ubisoft + include all DLC

redfall
starfield
avowed
fable
perfect dark
forza
outer worlds 2
indiana jones game
wolfenstein ?
Gears ?

@grumpypotato yeah that paramount+ perk couldnt watch in on xbox no app couldn't watch it on tv no app i had to sit there on a laptop. joke

The Offer was a good show i watched on there about the making of the godfather

as soon as master chief took his helmet off i knew the show makers didnt get it

yes i watched it it wasnt good

so theyve included mobile games and pc in that stat which does skew it alot more digital

consoles sell more physical games that only 10%

@Gr81 i think its ok just not the amazing game the critics made it out to be.

prey moon crash already did it better and thats also made by arkane

its alright certainly no 10/10 though

starfield thats the one im most looking forward to

the series S is there so you can play the game if you want performance thats what the series X is for.

Digital foundry cant seem to get their head round that idea

ray tracing is a waste of resources anyway on console

these consoles arnt 4090s

Prey mooncrash did it better that Deathloop

would rather they didnt i thought it was an overrated game fine but certainly no where near a 10/10

there were a few games made by Microsoft that i liked
such as halo infinite, forza 5, grounded, deathloop, doom eternal, halo infinite, as dusk falls

Series S = B+
Series X =A
Gamepass = A
Microsoft rewards = A+
games B-

RT ray tracing seems like a waste of time and resources on console. its always is far too costly for what little difference it makes

didnt like the pitt update

havnt done Nuka world yet

personally i like fallout 76 its a really good map to go explore i dont engage with other players i just do the story quests. i haven't spent any money in it.

Ive enjoyed it more than fallout 4 but less than fallout 3 or vegas

"whether Microsoft would make certain gaming content and features exclusive to Xbox"

like Sony already does with call of duty

Sony pay them alot of money for exclusivity

they were saying Apple was going to buy Netflix a couple of months ago so either Netflix is looking to sell or its all just made up by journalists wouldnt be the first time

sorry not for me i didn't like it felt like i was wasting my time

I have come to realise alot of critic reviews dont share my taste and opinion on games

the humour is what makes this game if you dont like that humour its not for you.

I cant for the life of me understand how eurogamer gave this an Avoid rating that frankly is ridiculous

the PlayStation fanboyisum on the pure xbox comments sections is becoming increasingly tedious and annoying

@Dezzy70 personally i like the xbox UI and think its better than PS5 UI but not as good as PS4 UI. it does themes, groups on the home screen, background files moving , clubs, discord etc. that doesnt even cover things the console can do like Dolby vision, VRR 20-120hz, Dolby atmos.

all things PlayStation doesnt do

personally yes i would be fine with it one AD and 6 month wait for 1st party games for a cheaper price more choice doesn't mean they stop the current options

outer wilds i just dont get whats good about it i was annoyed and frustrated what a waste of my time

people love it or hate it the truth is somewhere in-between

Its a perfectly fine game nothing amazing but definitely not trash either

@FraserG got an Xbox series S so no disc drive

Enslaved has never been on sale its just remained £11.99 shame

I honestly thought going from 4 games to 2 every month would mean they would up the quality of the ones they did offer

nope didnt happen

FTC complaint that the leader who dominates the market Sony shouldn't have competition

seems the exact opposite of what they should be doing

@Cyberpsycho your entitled to your opinion i just dont agree with it.

Horizon forbidden west was the biggest disappointment in gaming for me since mass effect andromeda
