I am intrigued by the walled garden of games they're taking. Add in MS Cloud and they might have a market. I have yet too see any of the first party innovation of Sony/Nintendo though. Every original IP is cancelled or turns out to be a warmed over turd (Crackdown 3).

Oh right because Sony's revolving door of 3rd person adventure exclusives are so innovative. :thunk:

You're right, thank goodness I have the 5th iterations of Gears of War and Halo and years old steam indie games finally jumping to console to keep me company while everyone plays those pedestrian, dull, critically acclaimed Sony first party games.

Sea of Thieves was a stab in the right direction at least. But aside from that I'm out of reasons to be optimistic about an XboxTwone over a PS5.

They don't need to be innovative. It helps that they're great games while MS exclusives have been kinda underwhelming. I mean, compare Bloodborne, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy, Spider-Man... I'm glad that Microsoft put game pass and backwards compatibility because otherwise one could think that they don't want to sell consoles.

Video games got tired of his gimmick, he's been told to not post in Games anymore.

Xbox Ambassador posted:

Lol yeah. Honestly probably have his family and all relatives sterilized via chemical castrations too just to prevent any of the DNA that made
A brain so broken like that from happening again.

But the budget PC direction they're moving I think will work out well for them.

I thought Gears 5 was supposed to unlock early for game pass. Seems to not be the case or is it because I didn't pre-order ultimate edition or some such bs?

Game pass is extremely good. I basically haven't bought any games for Xbox all year. But since I've started using game pass last year, I've played sea of thieves, forza horizon 4, crackdown 3,and state of decay 2 plus countless indie games and tried other ones like metro and all I've spent is $60 (first year at half off) and my game pass is going until 2022 because of that conversion.

I'm buying games on ps4/switch tho

I think the only full game in going to buy this year on release is Borderlands 3. Otherwise everything else I've been playing is on game pass out free to play.

Control is dece but theres issues imo that hold it back from being a must play. Having beaten it i'd give it a 8 or a 7 depending on what part i happen to be thinking about at any given moment
