12 Minutes was really good. Ready for Psychonauts 2.

Game looks like a ton of fun. Probably play it on PC one day.

Elder Scrolls 6 Will Be an Xbox Exclusive Like Starfield, Says Insider

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

GOAT game.

The exclusivity lasted surprisingly long for FF7, potentially 1.5 years by the time it comes out on PC and Xbox. Usually its 1 year window. Maybe Sony extended it for the DLC.

Most of the people in the know are assuming it's WB Games. Not enough to spark "reeeee monopoly!" cries but big enough where it's a needle mover given the licenses that group controls (Mortal Kombat, Batman, LOTR, etc) and they're actively being shopped since they were basically the odd entity out after a merger

They should buy Take-Two Interactive.

Then they should make GTA 6 Xbox exclusive.

Feel like I’ve heard them buying another massive company non stop since Bethesda. Sega always seems to pop up. Guess just wait and see until it’s actually real.

I could see it being the studio that makes the Yakuza games.

I think that's a Sega studio.

I was able to finally buy a series X in stock and it gets here Thursday. Very excited to be back on Xbox.

 

[aleshemsky83]

I hate to live up to my reputation as a negative Nancy and notorious hater but man the Series S version of Sable looks awful. The original announcement trailer blew my balls off but the final product has these weird overly sharpened lines over every edge that causes major shimmer effect.

I want to try to play it at 4k on my PC before I deliver the verdict but if it looks better man buying the Series S was a huge waste. This thing feels like a sub 1080p console more and more.

My summary of the gameplay so far:

When the devs made this game they must have thought "let's take the climbing from BotW, make it bad, and also lets make it the whole game."

Edit: Nope, set it to 4k, the art still has that weird MS Paint jagged line effect to it. This game has really brought out my inner hater. The announcement trailer got my hype levels too high.

TGS today? I'm in for Microsoft buying Konami and putting the Suikoden series on Game Pass tomorrow.

They should have bought SEGA 20 years ago

Scarlet Nexus is on GP, seems cool after an hour, the battle system is great

GamePass is why Xbox is dominating this generation from a consumer standpoint. Avengers + Scarlett Nexus with two day one AAA releases to end the year?

They’re not dominating…yet. Gamepass to date has been crammed with a lot of junk and stuff that’s not exclusive to just Xbox (just Xbox and PC). Also, they have yet to release an Xbox Series X|S only game.

Games not being Xbox exclusive is a very good thing. I don't have to waste hundreds of dollars to play a few games that would run better on my PC anyway, and the console experience is exactly the same as if they were exclusive.

 

[aleshemsky83]

It's undeniable that gamepass is an insanely good, deal. The problem is that it's just way way way waaaay too good. It's the Netflix honeymoon phase. The prices will rise, the library will get worse, and they'll close the gamepass loophole (which they already did earlier this year but reversed) and most likely there will be different price tiers which EA Play has already done.

I'm enjoying the honeymoon though.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

There’s a million games on Gamepass so there will be bad ones, but they add 2-3 games every month that I have a good time with. I checked out Avengers tonight and was kind of surprised how much I was enjoying the campaign.

Flight Simulator is Series X/S only.

Did The Medium get a X1 release? If not, there's a second one

Flight Sim has been out on PC for a Long time now.

Sony released Avengers as game of the month many many months ago. I bought it at launch and it was average at best. The new Black Panther DLC is awesome but the game thrives on the same hack and slash mechanics over and over again.

They’re not dominating anything yet. Yet. The program (I’m an ultimate member) is filled with average to below average fluff and stuff that never had console only exclusivity.

Why would I buy and Xbox when the games are available on PC Game Pass? People play PS5 because of the exclusive games. Xbox hasn’t figured that out yet. See what I’m getting at?

I don't think Microsoft cares all that much which platform you buy their game pass for. At his point "Xbox" should refer to their games catalogue/subscription service instead of their consoles.

because not everyone plays on PC? A majority of the people in the world have one or the other as it is a huge expense to own both.

just because it does not appeal to you does not mean it wont appeal to a million others.
