XboxEra Community Hangout |OT13| New News? NEW THREAD

Phil Spencer said they were seeing more traction in Asia which I would hope results in a stronger push there. The Mecha Break developers have said they went with Xbox first rather than PlayStation because according to them Xbox is more aggressive. With Yoshida now retired the push to find games to money hat in Asia seems to have reduced at PlayStation. I think Game Pass becomes an effective way to market some of these games in the west.

For those in the USA, try to tune in to the Nrl games which are on in Las Vegas tomorrow, if u like contact sport you will fall in love with the Nrl.

This is NOT rugby union, this is Rugby League, completely different and free flowing.

Messing around with ODST and it burns me that Halo has been so underutilized.

Finished Fallout on Amazon Prime just now.

Fantastic all around. Great cast, I mean how awesome is Walton Goggins here? But it’s just a great cast all around. Interesting story, plenty gore (initially I was afraid it be too clean), perfect balance of the crazy/funny and serious parts. Right now I can’t name many cons, if at all.

Season 2 better have Deathclaws and Mirelurks though!

But that last scene pretty much confirms at least the former.

They updated the anti-cheat on Halo MCC so it seems like they solved that cheating problem. I played some matches yesterday and it was fun.

Bit the bullet and picked up a ROG Ally. Im aware the new ones are due out but picked it up for 250 which feels very good. I remember there being a list of play anywhere games posted to this forum. Does anyone have that link please

This isn’t scientific, but if the same ratio of active monthly to peak concurrent users held through to today, back of the napkin math would put Steam’s current active monthly users at 221.5 million

This is another handy example of the health and growth of PC gaming, particularly compared to the relative stagnation in the console sector. Valve’s sheer influence in the industry is only more shocking when you consider the size of the company: 336 employees in 2021

It’s this and the Switch that shows how walled-garden console warz are fucking hilarious.

Everyone puts their games on Steam. They want money.

Booking Wednesday! :wink:

I’m hoping they plan to update GTA IV next. The unlocked 60 fps on Xbox BC is cool, but it looks so muddy!
