@FraserG yeah seems odd they havnt mentioned gamepass yet. it really should be Microsoft games are supposed to be day 1 on gamepass the original outer worlds was
Im enjoying it the setting is great and the design its gorgeous. theres always something round the next corner thats visually interesting. its not really an fps shooter, its not bioshock its more half-life exploring and getting from A to B and shoot a few things along the way.
I know im enjoying it as i sit down next time i look 3 hours have passed
its good for devs, great for gamers, the ones who arnt making as much money are Microsoft.
But then why should we care if Microsoft doesn't add a few more million to the profit column they're are a massive mega corporation time we got a good deal .Microsoft dont care either they just want people to play games in their ecosystem
@Lavalera yeah i did the same thing Alien isolation had been on gamepass for years so it was going to leave eventually so i got Alien isolation the collection with reward points as well when it was £8.99.
why do people care if Microsoft are making money out of gamepass?
as long as it makes financial sense for the devs and its a bargain for consumers who cares if if Microsoft doesnt get to put more money in the profit column
it was a good game that they ruined by difficulty. the need to to keep replaying levels to get better to succeed made you feel you weren't getting anywhere
they designed it to take longer and be replayed where as people replay stuff because they enjoy it
@Stocksy the economies going into recession cutting costs and layoff staff if happening everywhere its the normal reaction to economic downturn just because Microsoft's got tons of money doesnt mean they wont try to run more efficiently
i think the error is they posted it rather than it was wrong it was probably they will back track and change the date but it will happen at a now later date but sooner rather than later
@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
@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
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.

Re: Reaction: Xbox Needs A New, Reliable Competitor For PS5's 'DualSense Edge'
@NEStalgia yes sticks are replaceable are expensive considering the post of the actual parts. and them being replaceable basically admits they are a problem

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