Re: Xbox Indie Showcase Announced For October 2025

The price increase is unjustified in that no way is 40 -50% price increase OK when you are crowing about how much money you just made from that service

However I did consider dumping ultimate as tbh it pissed me off a lot then I took off the console tax and suddenly it is the same price as PC Xbox the 6.99 to get online is obscene but if we ignore that for now. It is then essentially £192 for a year so play 3 full price games for me who played a lot more this year easily covers the cost

That does not excuse a 40+% increase as Ok as it is not I am in a fortunate position where it does not affect me I can afford to pay it if i want to with no downsides for a lot of people that is not the case. I have friends who will not take it off their kids although they really cannot afford any increased outgoings each month

Re: Opinion: If Xbox Is 'Just' A Game Pass Machine, That's Still Enough For Me

I think at this point if you have been on XBox for along period of time the question for next gen is PC or Xbox Console given the large library of games I could still play on PC due to XBox Anywhere ,which deserves more love than its gets, switching to PS would be silly given most PS games are coming to PC now. So unless you have a small library of games I am not sure MS loses as the logical choice if you do not buy the next Xbox console is PC

Re: Is Death Stranding 2 Coming To Xbox? Here's Everything We Know So Far

TBH i thought the original was a load of pretentious bollocks that was just being strange for the sake of it. If this had not been made by Kojima i am of the opinion most people would have said it was not very good if they were being polite.

Certainly from my view point it was not a good game at all and just because it was made by someone who is revered in terms of video games does not mean you should get a free pass for producing something like this

Just in case it is not obvious absolutely not going to "play" death stranding 2

Re: Death Stranding's New Xbox Update Fixes The Only Real Problem We Had With It

I played for about 6 hours and was left thinking is this the actual game and then went read some reviews and discovered walking about delivering packages was indeed the game. I personally found it incredibly boring.

The graphics are great, the soundtrack as much as I heard it was great but for me the gameplay was just tedious

The cutscenes to me exhibit that someone thinks they are being very clever whilst they are not I think if this game did not have Kojima's name associated with it it would be lucky to get a 7/10

I was very hopeful of a great game but it was just meh what was all the hype about as for me this was just utter trash.

I would love someone to point out to me what I am missing as I loved his mgs stuff but I cannot currently fathom how it got the review scores it did
