Topic: The everything Xbox thread

With Halo just buy XB1 MCC and it’s DLC (ODST and soon Reach) regarding the OG Xbox and 360 FPS games. The only active 360 Halo currently is Reach and that’ll likely change when it comes to MCC later this year.

@Grumblevolcano He just bought an Xbox 360, I don't think he's really planning on also buying an Xbox One...

Their current stance is that Halo Infinite will be releasing on the current console.

Not entirely sure they've got a coherent business model at the moment. That just games me more likely to buy a PS5 instead.

Purple Fortnite S will be available starting Friday

They're also doing the annual e3 sale of course. Nothing to crazy this year, seems in line with most discounts that are usually floating around.

That purple S looks really good! I already have an X so I’m not planning on buying one, but I wish at least that purple controller will be available seperately.

@redd214 Psssh

For those who still play Halo 5, E3 week (starting with Sunday) has daily Platinum REQ packs.

Fable details potentially leaked, obviously grain of salt and all that

Also PUBG X bundle is only $340 at Walmart, good for a quick flip!

@redd214 nothing too spoilery or surprising there, so it's a pretty benign leak. It's just comforting theres something to leak at all. Given it's playground it's safe to bet open world, online components etc, since that's their key strengths.

It's going to be weird without Molyneauxs broken input though. Bad as he is, is craziness still is part of the series feel.

$100 of Xbox cash is $88.88 on Newegg, just in time for E3 shenanigans!

@Dezzy Gaming companies are usually most fun when they don't have coherent business plans. They let almost anything go, bring unexpected things out of nowhere, and generally don't try to screw the consumer. It's when they have fixed plans that you're being taken for a ride between planned purchases to planned obsolescence.

@NEStalgia

That's an optimistic way of saying "go out of business"

@Dezzy Not when the company can just eat money from unlimited Android royalties to fund it. Seriously, though, it really isn't. It's about them stoking new business from idle corners rather than keeping a fixed market on a treadmill, which is generally more fun, with higher value as a consumer, yet still profitable.

Xbox wearing the gay flag, nice gesture! This is not the first time that the developer is fixing a first-party game, we've seen this before with Sea of Thieves and State of Decay 2 even though they were more successful commercially than Crackdown 3. Even Nintendo has done this with last Mario Tennis and Arms when they are supposed to release polished and finished games according to popular belief.

By the way my backlog is bigger than ever because I had a month off and haven't played anything. I still have 3DS and Wii U games to play and countless games on Xbox One thanks to Game Pass and Games with Gold and Deals with Gold. I don't know how big this is going to get. At least I beat the last big Wii U games, Xenoblade Chronicles X and Tokyo Mirage Sessions and both were a really good time. Now I'm playing Monster Hunter World.

So Ninja Theory's next game just leaked.

@Magician really!?

I was about to say that's kinda pointless and dumb. But then I realised I deliberately waited to get my Xbox over a month because I didn't want a white one, and it took ages to find a grey one for a good price.
Lol.

The sale is huge, almost every game you can think of it's included. So is Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, a game that is rarely discounted. Also, I think that Assassin's Creed Origins has just hit its lower price yet, Gold Edition included.

Man I love e3!!! (potential spoiler I guess)

I didn't know that was the colour Scarlet actually. For some reason I thought Scarlet was a darker red. Like this:

Well I hope the console isn't actually Scarlet coloured then, because that would look awful.
