hey great this worked out real well for rare and lionhead

Phil Spencer is a smart man with a lot of clout so I can't see him letting Microsoft butcher Obsidian like they did to Rare. I'm just glad EA didn't get their scummy hands on them.

After this gen's comparative lack of exclusives, with these acquisitions MS are shaping up to have a much better exclusive lineup come Xbox One 2 The 4th Box.

These moves also seem to be in direct response to Microsoft getting burned several times with their "partnerships" that ended up not helping them and with the partner dev getting bought by someone else leaving MS with nothing.

And given that Mistwalker is now like 15 people and death spiraling it can't be that expensive to buy full ownership of Lost Odyseey and Blue Dragon now, so maybe just do that.

This thread used to be bad because it was endless dunking on how bad microsoft screwed things up this generation, now its bad because nobody is left but those people and Microsoft has started to seemingly right the ship for next gen so there isnt much interesting to talk about or people to argue with.

Sometimes its people asking for reviews for games that came out a decade ago and are oblivious to game design improvements since the Bush administration.

Theres no use getting hype for next gen. The concept of consoles having leaps in capability is over, its just marketing gearing up to get you to buy new slightly faster 500 dollar machines loaded with subs every 3 years in perpetuity. A mid range pc now will play every xbox game released through most of the 2020's. I got mine hooked to the tv, works great, awaiting xbox to put out a non car game at some point

Im not disagreeing with you; just microsoft is very obviously going all in on Gamepass and xCloud as a mechanism to capture both folks like you as well as cell-phone only gamers in their ecosystem in some capacity. That is their "next gen" approach.

The games I like already have their games coming out like DMC, RE, and Gears so a new gen doesn't interest me. The multiplayer games I play are all on PC anyway.

So, is Xbox Live required for Game Pass? I'm just noticing that Mastah Cheef Collection has a "GamePass Exclusive" discount and either way that's just funny af.

It's not required to download and play Gamepass games single player, but for online play you need XBL Gold.

The worst thread title directly correlates to the arrival of one Xbox Ambassador who endlessly commented on the brain functionality of other posters.

Since he doesn't post here anymore it's actually p chill and not worthy of the title anymore imo.

It's missing the vast majority of the levels available on the GBA version. Which was all the Dreamcast disc levels plus a vast swathe of the user levels that were uploaded to Sega's online services plus a bunch of Sonic Team-made levels that were added for the GBA specifically.


Also if you didn't already buy the Android/iOS Chu Chu Rocket you can't buy it anymore, since like 2013 or something when Sega pulled them from new sales.

In addition to what was said about missing a huuuuuge chunk of puzzles from GBA, the mobile version controls terribly which is sort of a big deal for a game that rewards being very precise and quick

How do you use voice commands with a headset? I just wanna be able to bark "Xbox record that" when something funny happens like I used to with my Xbox one. My Xbox one X doesn't have Kinect and it's the only thing I miss.

I think the intent is you get an Echo or Echo Dot or something and use that as a Kinect voice command replacement. And yes, there are no humans outside of the US, so no need to worry about supporting them.
