The return has been initiated.

Pick up tomorrow. Letā€™s see by when refund will come.

Re: Toys for Bob, Tango, Arkane Austinā€¦

I have to assume it boils down to simple interest or finances. Meaning, either the powers that be at Tango and Arkane Austin werenā€™t interested in going independent, or they couldnā€™t afford it.

I canā€™t think of any other reason that makes sense where Microsoft wouldā€™ve given the go ahead to Toys for Bob, and then refused the same courtesy to those other two.

I agree itā€™s nowhere close to Mario but IMO it was PlayStationā€™s best platforming series, perhaps Astro has taken that throne in recent years, I just always see their games more as tech demos but perhaps Iā€™m being too harsh.

My thoughts exactly. Forget IWCā€¦I mean donā€™t worry about internet crew. General audience is your target.

Lots of casual gamers, which includes CoD players donā€™t know about Game Pass, or even wtf it is. Especially in The Netherlands where Xbox never bothered to market the service like at all, Iā€™m sure that goes for most of Europe probably. And probably not even only Europe either, so they have a huge opportunity here with CoD.

I donā€™t expect CoD to be the end all be all for GP, but I do expect a significant increase in GP subs once the new one comes out. Especially if they nail the marketing. CoD marketing itself is always good, now hopefully they do a good job letting everyone know itā€™s on Game Pass.

When they have the CoD direct, just have someone mention itā€™s on Game Pass on day one a few times throughout the whole stream. Just about enough times that it gets close to being annoying, so to speak, lol.

Not gaming related, but this is pretty slick:

I love technology.

I guess since streaming YouTube isnā€™t super heavy on Xbox Edge, Geforce NOW shouldnā€™t be to big of a difference. Because I remember trying to play Pokerogue and Edge didnā€™t have enough available memory to do so.

I remember this from a while ago. Someone managed to get some games running decently, including Kena if Iā€™m not mistaken. Iā€™m kinda curious to try it out but not curious enough to be willing to sub to it, lol.

Are Sony games on Geforce Now? And speaking of Kena, hopefully it gets announced officially soon.

The unfortunate part of your job Jesse. At least you can be trusted reviewing a game and not letting friendships get in the way of being honest. Plus! You guys really do use that whole scale :person_shrugging:

Maybe at the start of this generation i would have believed this. This here sounds like an excuse and itā€™s good to see a good amount of replies saying the same.

Besides, I canā€™t even really find that segment back in the article.
