Well from that I spot only 3 games I'm yet to give a go. Atomic Heart and the 2x Personas. Personas are tiring to play, hence I'm not in the mood. Rise I played on Steam, still busy with Sunbreak events. Wo Long I played twice through. 5x other games in the pics I played long ago already, 2x back on the 360 and the rest I have no interest in whatsoever.

I have GamePass Ultimate. I know what's on it. The whole library means little to me. I already played the good games. My \XboxGames folder is empty atm.

Totally get you.

Also, they are all 3d party games. Xbox last released a first party AAA game 1 year and 4 months ago.

That said, to clarify here as this is the Xbox thread I don't harbor any ill feelings towards Xbox -I last played on PS5 last year as its dry there too atm. Been on Steam lately as its easy to pick up shovelware time killers sub R100 a pop on sale instead of R800 on PS.

I simply expect a better stream of quality games. 3-4 a year. Sony can manage it just fine but a multi-trillion dollar corporation who can buy out Sony a few times over cannot? Something is amiss, and I'm saying that something is good games.

Don't mind 3rd party and this is why I said they should have used the 70 Billion to buy 1-2 year exclusive deals instead of bidding for a useless co that only have like 3 good games.

Yup, 100%.
 
Redfail is horrendous, no amount of patches or delays can save it.

I played it for science but after 10/15 minutes I had enough.

To each their own as I always say but I feel the same. Wanted to switch off just after starting the game (playing on X).

Don't know if it's all the negative reviews that's also influencing me, but literally played just till I got off the ship in the beginning and switched it off, and did not start it up again (loving Ghostwire Tokyo and can't put that down at the moment).

I will give it a go again after the patch, hopefully it's sooner rather than later that it gets released.

I finished Ghostwire Tokyo last night, I loved it and wish the campaign was a bit longer. I did do most of the side quests and got more than 50% of the spirits captured.

Have you done the school side quest? One of the best side quests I have done in any game.

There is a power that lets you summon a Tengu anywhere which also help with covering the city and to get up to the higher places.

Did you change controller settings from MUD to Almost Decent. Makes a massive difference.
I wish game was a bit more challenging. Like the world.

Did not change anything, the 30fps was also jarring.

I'm literally doing every side quest, got the tengu skilled unlocked must just pay the points to get it, will do that next.

Not sure if I've done the school side quest, from the sounds of things I would've remembered if it's a s good as what you say. Also collected a sh.t load of spirits , think that telephone dude congratulated me for collecting a certain number of them.

But ja besides Hi Fi rush , this is one of my faves games so far for 2023 (both made by Tango games mind you, hope they can continue dropping these quality games)

Was in an area I did not clear the mist for yet, so got to it this weekend.

Dude you could've warned me atleast, I'm already a sissy when it comes to horror movies and don't really play horror games but could deal with Ghostwire, so far.

That damn mannequin!!!!! That thing freaked me out big time

Going to get the PC version Diablo 3 was weird to play on console, I didn't like it.

Thing is my introduction to Diablo was the 1st one on OG PlayStation.
Played 2 on PC and it always felt off so bought 3 on PS3.

I now own Diablo 2 Resurrected on Xbox that came with 3.
So only natural to add 4 to the console collection.

Total opposite played 1 and 2 on PC then got 3 on Xbox guess that's why it felt strange to me.

But getting 4 on PC.

Don't be like that bro.

I'm in the UK on business , chatting to fellow xbots this side , the feeling was that the EU was always going to approve the deal as a big F U to the UK (CMA) (Brexit left the EU with a lot of getting back at the UK).

Not over the line, but what you think, should I pre order or wait for GamePass .

My crystal ball can't tell me how long CMA appeal gonna take. Can even be a year+ or CMA can change their ruling the moment US votes come in. Who knows.

So for FOMO:
If you planning to play on PC best is to buy PC version 2 weeks back before the R/$ took a nose dive. or wait for the exchange rate for better rates... Well if it does recover.
If you buying on the console you can do it at any time as the price is pegged.

No FOMO
For PC: Buy whenever you feel like it.
For console: Wait till it come to Gamepass.

The UK, US and European competition authorities are unanimous that this merger would harm competition in cloud gaming. The CMA concluded that cloud gaming needs to continue as a free, competitive market to drive innovation and choice in this rapidly evolving sector.

Microsoft’s proposals, accepted by the European Commission today, would allow Microsoft to set the terms and conditions for this market for the next 10 years.

They would replace a free, open and competitive market with one subject to ongoing regulation of the games Microsoft sells, the platforms to which it sells them, and the conditions of sale.

This is one of the reasons the CMA’s independent panel group rejected Microsoft’s proposals and prevented this deal. While we recognise and respect that the European Commission is entitled to take a different view, the CMA stands by its decision.
