So, just in case anyone was hoping for anything on Series X|S at Tokyo Game Show ..... They've tweeted to say there won't be anything for those

@DarthNocturnal Here you go: Forza Horizon 2 10th Anniversary bundle, which includes an absolutely insane amount of cars and all the DLC. Get it while you can. I already checked for you if it can be used in your region, and can confirm that this is indeed the case.

Given what we've seen so far for Japan games on Xbox recently, I could see the TGS Xbox event ending up announcing something like FFXIV or DQX for Game Pass.

@redd214 Agreed. Heck ancient NFS games are still sold, with real cars licensed in them. It seems like EA gets long term blanket licensing and MS just gets short term contracts. That's a big negative for Forza. OTOH, at least they practically (or literally) give away the game at the end.

ReCore is my favorite XBox One exclusive short of the big tentpoles, for sure.

@NEStalgia yeah not the end of the world and I'm certainly not upset about it, just popped in my head as yall were talking about the delisting. You're right all the NFS games from last 2 gems are still up, you can even still buy Gran Turismo PSP from 2009 if you wanted to lol (though 5 and 6 are gone). Just weird that's all.

I think I remember you speaking highly of Recore. Probably going to finish it up tomorrow or Friday. They really should revisit it imo, with a couple refinements it could be great!

Ok yeah the main thing about Halo 2 I don't like is the Arbiter missions. Messes up the pacing, and messes with my split-second reactions by changing which types of NPC are friendly/enemy.

@redd214 The only problem with more Recore is, who would want to work with Inafune after what happened with Mighty No. 9? He's probably something of a hot potato in the industry right now.

@Ralizah In proper context I was right, though .

On topic, I have played Halo CE and 2 (Master Chief Collection). 2 was a bit confusing to me because of what @Dezzy mentioned above and I had to read the plot on Wikipedia because I didn't know what was going on. Another issue is that the voices were buried under the soundtrack. There are subtitles but only for cut scenes. Reach was not available when I started playing, so should I play Reach after 3 ODST, then?

Hey everyone, my step son has an Xbox one and asked me if he could have a keyboard and mouse for his bday since he wants to try it out with his console. Ive never liked using it, and I know there's an audience for it, but I also know that its not for everyone. Is there anything anyone can recommend that's more entry level and inexpensive? I definitely don't want to drop top dollar on it as im nearly certain he won't like it. After all, he said " I want to try it out."

@BlueOcean

Yeah it really messes with the story quite a lot. There's a massive chunk where you play as the Arbiter for quite a few hours, and when I finished I just couldn't even remember what Master Chief was doing or where he was.

@Dezzy Same here 😂. I understood after reading the plot on my phone.

@NintendoByNature
You could get cheap keyboard and mouse so he can try them. If he really uses them you can get better ones afterwards. There is not even so many games that supports keyboard and mouse combo.

@Justifier thanks, appreciate the reply. I found some $30-50 ones on Amazon. Maybe ill give those a try.

@NintendoByNature
Or maybe someone you know have some spares they could lend? I have at least two keyboards and couple of mouses and I know I'm not the only one.

Daniel Ahman industry analyst says this is real. Looks like the official announcement might be soon. So what do we think this will actually be? Essentially just something equivalent to the Xbox One X but that also runs the next gen games? And without a disc drive. The lack of a disc drive means I'll probably never get it. I've got loads of Xbox games on disc.
Also the SeriesX looks nicer.

Making another discless console will be useless after 10 or 20 years from now.
Tell to the future generations that being digital 100% is Not Cool.
It is a huge mistake.
