@DarthNocturnal starting tomorrow, sorry should have put that. As far as the 2nd question, I'm not quite sure to be honest what they consider "new"

@Grumblevolcano Hm... mildly interesting, but not really all that exciting overall.

I got it, I haven't played much but I haven't notices issues with the frame rate on Xbox One X. I wonder if they have been fixed. The soundtrack is great, the visuals are nice, controls and physics are quite deep.

@shadow-wolf Well, I watched both of the videos you recommended, but I'm sorry to have to say that they did nothing to change my mind. Don't like listening to this guy's voice, don't like people that feel the need to throw in all kinds of swearing in their videos, and I think his reviews are average at best. I have no idea how the hell someone like that was able to get so many subscribers.

Me, I'm more into solid and easy to listen to reviewers like Arlo, Spawn Wave, Commonwealth Realm, Rule of 2 Review, Tome of Infinity (formerly known as Lord Karnage from Classic Game Room) and The Know. And those last two channels actually do know how to do funny in a smart and intelligent way...

I understand, his videos aren't for everyone. I'll take a look at a few of the YouTubers you mentioned. Based on who you mentioned, I think you'd also like the videos posted by Zeltik. He does an incredible job analyzing Zelda material. If you're a big Zelda fan, I think you'll really enjoy the in-depth analysis he does of various aspects and mechanics of the games.

@shadow-wolf I actually am, so I'll take a look at his channel. Thanks for the tip. Hope you find something interesting among the ones I mentioned as well.

Oh cool, got another month of Gold for 10 pesos. Knew waiting it out would be good. And I don't think I missed out on any gold freebies either.

I'll apparently also get in-game currency for that apex thingy. In case anyone here wants that.

Edit: oh there's also three months of game pass for 10 pesos. I don't really use game pass much, but that could be nice...

Ok done, done, cancelled the automatic renewal, done. Nice!

@ThanosReXXX Nice! And I am interested in how you mentioned Tome of Infinity and The Know do funny in a smart and intelligent way. I'll give those and the other channels you mentioned a shot!

I've been thinking about next gen and it came to my attention that Phil Spencer didn't say next gen at E3 2018, he just said "next Xbox consoles". Think it's possible that the 2020 console is just a more powerful Xbox One X?

@Grumblevolcano Interesting thought on the one hand, but on the other hand, I certainly hope not. It might leave too much room for restrictions on the new platform, if it is held back by some unifying factor with previous models.

Then again: Phil also said that backwards compatibility is here to stay, so if they handle it well enough, a console that is basically just an even more powerful upgrade, it could still be worth having, depending on what it can do, and how much of a difference playing games on that new console is going to make, also concerning newer titles, of course.

As I mentioned in my post above, it let me use the promotion. I’ve been subscribed before, so yes, it applies to expired subscriptions. I always turn off auto renewal and they almost always let me use these new subscription promotions whenever they happen for either service.

Interesting how it’s much cheaper in my country though.

@ThanosReXXX Microsoft's in kind of a weird situation as a whole because of far how they went with Xbox One X. Namely how to progress without angering Xbox One X owners.

Yes, you guys are right. I am currently subscribed but if it works for you then great. This is the best offer I've ever seen, it used to be one pound/euro/dollar for one month, now it's for three months! I don't play everyday but I have saved money because I haven't bought a few games since they have been included in Game Pass. Even if you don't play a lot, even if you just play a few games, it's still awesome value, probably the best gaming value available anywhere.

As for the next "Xbox consoles" he said so because they are working on more than one, as have been leaked recently. I am an Xbox One X owner and a generational leap wouldn't annoy me at all. On the contrary, I'm happy that Microsoft is making awesome hardware as the X is. It was released in 2017, and it wasn't a new generation to begin with. I don't think that Xbox One X owners are worried about a new and more powerful console coming in a few years.

Well I installed Crackdown 3.......and uninstalled it an hour later.

What a generic piece of guff. How was that 5 years of work?

It's dangerous to go alone! Stay at home.

@Grumblevolcano I'm not an Xbox One X owner myself (got the S), but I wasn't aware that any people that do own them, were angered. I suppose as long as they handle it the right way, and the newer models are fully backwards compatible with everything we have right now, it'll be just fine.

It wasn't. It was four years of working on technologically advancing cloud gaming, then a year of quickly throwing something together when they realised they couldn't get it working as they wanted.

Or something like that.
