Hideo Kojima Describes Upcoming Game With Xbox as "Unusual"

This either means it will be a bog standard AAA game (unusual for him) or so loving weird no one can possibly comprehend it

Apparently multiple companies turned it down because they thought it was too crazy so I'm expecting Lovecraftian levels of madness.

Honestly if you can't find a game to play on gamepass I dunno what to tell you. I could probably never buy a game again and be fine.

My kids put 30 hours into Minecraft so I dont know what my most-played game is. I suspect its......bloody hell I dont know...a bunch of cool 10 hour games that I ploughed through.

Favorite was probably Norco though.

When I bought an Xbox I swore that I would stick to Game Pass exclusively and not buy any more games because I have too many and that would be stupid. Elden Ring, The Witcher 3 4K, and some pretty good sales on the Store changed my tune pretty quick.

Also Vampire Survivors was, like, $4 so why the gently caress not.

It helps that, depending on your region, you can use rewards points to buy games. Plus there's like 7% cash back which isn't a ton but it's something.

Yeah I said you COULD only play gamepass games and be happy. I've bought games too. I just bought the Shadow Of War definitive edition because I wanted to play the games again and never played the DLC and it was 8 dollars.

I have been able to stick to only Gamepass the whole time I've had my series X

Because I buy tons of games on PS5 and PC

I'm almost done unlocking everything in Vampire Survivors and I think once I'm done with that, I'll be done with the game. It's fantastic and I love it but by the 10th or 15th time you're standing still and not dying the magic is almost over.

Big fan of R&M but I'm almost 3 hours into HoL without a laugh. It's not that the writing is "bad", it's just interminable and it feels like I'm trapped with a VA who knows they get paid overtime. The gameplay is decent and the levels so far seem kind of streamlined free of over world sins, but no dialogue skip has been killer.

Lol at Hivebusters having zero actual Hive-busting. What a loving tease, getting to the big finale and peacing out instead of actually delivering an ending. At least let us watch them gas out the place.

There's a "secrets" menu with a bunch of hidden things you can unlock, all of which involve doing new & interesting things. I think they all unlock new characters.

There's a couple of bangers in there, but for the most part the humor is just sort of there. I rarely found myself laughing, but I enjoyed most of the banter as passive flavor I guess. I played his VR games first and they do the same thing where the VAs will just improv for 10 minutes if you don't walk away but the point is that you are supposed to walk away. I definitely wouldn't call it uproariously funny outside of maybe 4 bits. Mostly just thought the art style was cool and it was a fun shooter.

Question:

Kids want to play Minecraft. I have it on Gamepass, and apparently 'own' it on PC (must have been via Games with Gold, or something). I can potentially run it on Xbox One, one or two PCs and maybe Gamepass streaming if I could swing it.

In the past in the magical time before children, my partner and I used to play a lot of these games online together on two xbox ones, designating one as the 'home' console and sharing the account.

Can I do this somehow with PC and Xbox and / or streaming, or will this count as using the same account across different platforms and not allow me to do so?

I would imagine if you “own” it on pc and have gamepass on the Xbox it should work.
I bought Diablo 2 on Xbox anc used the home designation on the other Xbox so my kid and I could play through it together.


New question for the thread.
Does anyone use the ikea kallax cube shelf system and let their x live in it?
By the measurements it looks like just barely an inch plus of clearance. Is that enough to let it vent properly?

There was a girl with a super strong valley accent in my grad school lab. Even after like 5 years of working with her it still broke my brain to hear that voice talking about all sorts of complex scientific neuroscience stuff.

I've sort of powered through HoL some more after people said to give it more of a chance. The dialogue is whatever, but things did open up a lot more once you get the jetpack. Which now I definitely feel the complaints about a lack of map. I'll still probably finish it, but there's enough little things off about it that it still feels incomplete (lack of enemy variety, not enough guns, maps missing, etc). Great job on the environments and color palette though.

It's baffling to me why someone would hate GamePass, easily the Xbox's biggest strength. I use it exclusively for my Series S and whatever games aren't on it I get on my PS5 with a deep sale.

Owning both consoles is fantastic this generation.

i don't own that oddly specific shelf but I believe the Xbox needs like 2 inches of clearance or something.
