I can hear it when I read it

I think the reason for consoles was, you pay X dollars (normally the same price as a decent video card), and you are guaranteed that any games that come out with it works. All you have to do is plug it up to a TV with HDMI and boom, working video game box with smart capabilities. It is/was a good idea, but I’m guessing MS is looking back at their Xbox One always online days and say you can hook up this $100 cloud base console and stream your games (that you pay a subscription for) with little to no degradation. Honestly they could go so far as offering it alongside select or premium TV brands, they are already doing that with LGs. The next battle will be game ownership, Ubisoft has already started that battle. Looking bleak, may be pulling out the old pirate hat

Nothing like wasting my money buying digital Xbox since Xbox One days to have it turn into a subscription based company. I’ve enjoyed my Xbox, but really sucks. Still hopefully, but highly doubtful they will continue to make consoles. I’m guessing sub and cloud base allowing access on PS and Nintendo. Good for them, but no reason to keep on supporting Xbox. Move on over Sega, Atari, and whoever else, another one coming aboard

Baldur’s Gate 3 is for me and should be game of the year. No one was expecting it to be as great as it is, received hate from some Devs saying it’s unreasonable to make such a good game and has ton of replayability

I have had one since hour 12, I’ve changed ships multiple times, been all over, still following. It’s basically a space buddy now, I’m on hour 96

I’ve been really enjoying the game, just past 70hours on Xbox and starting the 2nd main story mission quest. Planning on starting new on PC shortly after I complete my current character. I don’t understand the console hate. I was upset when Spiderman on PS4 was an exclusive, but later I got a PS4, played/beat it, had a blast. Hate for something because you can’t play it is just wild. Just like people hating on huge houses or seeing expansive cars just because they don’t have it. Underline jealousy. If you really hate it that much because you can’t play/have it, work towards obtaining it and appreciating it. I’ve been really happy with most of the games that have come out/still planning on coming out this year, best in a long time for me

It looked in what they showed F2P. Super sad, just another way of killing off the Maxis games. Hopefully Paralives will be coming out soon to save the genre

I’m hoping for a bit of randomness too, like an arrogant driver that still wants to go the slow way. Very interesting in how the car accident mechanics work as well. Very happy so far with their feature lists

Second D4, I’ve mainly been playing with a mix of PC/Xbox, but works with no issue. You all just need to have blizzard accounts and be friends on those accounts

As a mainly Xbox gamer, that sucks, but understandable. Microsoft has tons of money and Xbox has bought up several studios and let them do small or not great games. I think the ZeniMax buyout sucks for PlayStation owners, but here I am waiting on playing FF and other games (which some eventually came out years later). If it’s 3rd party, I don’t think they (PS/Xbox) should be able to hold a game for longer than a year. StarField is an Xbox and PC release, that is the difference for me. If PS games released along side PC releases, I’d me more inclined to say it’s fine. We’ll see how it goes, I’m hoping that StarField will be great and M$ will notice and start investing more money and time into exclusives. Time will tell

Never played the original, but always wanted to. Nows the chance, can’t wait for this to come out

Really liked a lot of Xbox, wish some had more gameplay (Fable). Also very excited to play in the world of Pandora. It’s been an expensive year so far for gaming and isn’t looking to change, happy about that though
