Topic: The everything Xbox thread

@Morpheel That and the bags scandal.They deserved the bad reputation, it's the only way for some publishers to start caring about what they're selling and not rely on future patches to fix everything. This is what happened with Anthem too, it was an absolute mess at launch so it's not just Bethesda.

I'm still not quite sure what Microsoft benefits from out of that insanely good Game Pass Ultimate deal. Unless there's a catch on next gen (e.g. Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions don't count towards Scarlett games), it just looks like Microsoft losing a lot.

@Grumblevolcano They said that Game Pass games get increased sales. Sea of Thieves was a launch Game Pass game and it broke some sales records on Xbox One, like best first-party seller or something like that. Therefore, it's not that Game Pass means fewer sales but more sales whether the purchasers are inside or outside Game Pass.

Managed to get a few games in on the Gears 5 test. Game runs buttery smooth for the most part. Can definitely see why some like it even though it's not really my cup of tea. Really hope fans are pleased with the full release.

@redd214 Playing Microsoft's betas? I thought that your Xbox One is a paperweight or so you said on another thread.

@BlueOcean oh noooo you caught me!!! You must be bored lol

Yes so thanks for making me laugh. LMAO.

@BlueOcean go play some games then man

I'm playing Watch Dogs now. Have you found a buyer yet?

@BlueOcean actually enjoyed watch dogs 1 when I played it, got the Platinum and everything. Still been meaning to get along to the second but may be one I never get to unfortunately.

And nope haven't even listed it yet. Got 2 months til I need it gone so may as well get some time in. Should sell quick at the price I'm thinking so no biggie

Is there a thread to share pictures, when I get my console & games? Not sure how I'd upload them here, either.....

you could just share them here, in the xbox thread. Being pictures of an xbox and all.

You can upload to some pic sharing site or twitter and link them here.

& games, @Morpheel .... ? Then, we need a screenshot thread here, too!

I’d prefer to keep threads to a minimum. But maybe that’s just me.

@BruceCM I would post them here like Morpheel suggested. I would like to see the console and controller you bought because they are rare and beautiful!

Also, you created a thread for game recommendations and I think that it is a great idea to have a thread focused on games that is shorter and easier to read than this one but you still ask for game recommendations on here, my boy!

Well, people still suggest games here.... @BlueOcean! I'll pop a picture of the collection of physical ones in there, so people know what I have

@BruceCM What game (physical or digital) are you going to play first?

I'll want to get on with the GamePass ones, since I'm paying for that, @BlueOcean .... Been putting some on my playlist, not settled on one specifically yet

Nice! And it comes with the scuffs and stains built in so you don’t need to be delicate with it.
