I understand that prices do go up and GamePass is still good value. But I hope this isn't because of Microsoft's constant obsession with buying gaming companies. Why should we pay for their spending habits. Don't bite the hand that feeds you M$.
I remember when Half Life 2 (beta) was leaked in 2003 by hackers. I did download and try it. If anything it made me appreciate the final game more. When I play it it brings all that back.
One of the first titles I grabbed when the XSX was released. The game was very good, but the crashes and saved game sync issues really got to me. Recently picked it up cheap on pc but even now that issues is still there in a small way. Incidentally, Assassins Creed: Valhalla had the same issue too.
Close to selling my XSX. Too many pc titles coming over. Pointless system for me really, plus the ultra slow downloads when I have a 1GB connection (all games suspended, so not that)
I played this on XSX shortly after getting the console (2020) but just like Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, had that annoying save game sync issue and random crashes. Hope they've fixed it now. Ubi has a tendency to stop support real quick with their games.
Great game but random crashes and cloud save issues never seemed to get fixed (pc and xbox). Looks like Ubishaft abandoned it but still wants you to buy the dlc. Incidentally the cloud save issue wreaked havoc on AC: Valhalla too.
Just like Steam, same old sales over n' over again. Might as well keep em at that price. If I want to buy a game, I'll get the PC version. Cheaper and have both RT and performance. Best of both worlds.
Not a chance, not after buying 'Immortals Fenyx Rising' for xsx and pc and both were cursed with crashes and cloud sync issues. After about 6 months to a year they just don't bother fixing their broken cr@p. So why should I fork out for more expense and frustration.
I love my XSX but when it comes to actually buying anything I'll buy it on PC. It's very often cheaper and having a 3080 means I get the best of both worlds and not having to deal with performance mode. Have 60k points and nothing to spend it on lol
Yawn, another poor month. I have nearly 55k points and nothing to buy as most games on xbox is not worth it to me. I wish they would add more BC games but still the same old titles... same old sales.
Amazed they can give a specific year of release when they havent even started on it yet. Especially after so many games of late that are delayed and have been in development for 5 or more years.
"To address such challenges with playing previous generation physical video game media on next generation digital video game devices"
Still waiting for bloody M$ to add more compatibity games to XSX. They take ages. Still waiting for Condemned 2 etc. Either way, they did say 'previous generation physical'.. that includes the 360.
Was ok, but didn't like the characters as much. Certainly didnt have that 'grandeur' feeling that the first one had. People will probably bash me for this, but I actually enjoyed the Dead Island games more. The location/setting was more appealing. Oh well, each to their own.
Amazingly I managed to get my XSX a month after release from Amazon. Paid the RRP too, which was good because there was a lot of news around at the time with Amazon orders not being delivered/stolen.
Sales are rinse & repeat. After getting a 3080, I just buy pc now. Far cheaper for better versions and on my 65" anyway. Xbox hasnt had enough decent stuff really. Might even cancel membership.

Re: Split/Second Dev: The Game Doesn't Need A Remaster, It's Still Great On Xbox
I played it and finished it not so long ago. The only thing I thought it could do with was a resolution increase on XSX. Would really make it shine.

Re: Dying Light 2 Sold 5 Million Copies Within A Month Of Release
