XboxEra Community Hangout |OT13| The Bakers Dozen

Are you guys reviewing Visions of Mana? Do you know how performance is on Series X?

Y’all got to stop calling everyone fanboys for being bummed out classic fighting games keep skipping xbox. Fgc fans ARE on Xbox as well. Mvc collection would of done at least a million sales. Cvs would of probably done 500k

No, never sent us a code, sadly.

That’s surprising. I thought a big part of your strategy to keep costs down was to buy physical games, beat them fairly quickly, and then trade them in while they were still giving decent value.

What made you change to digital only?

Game Pass/Ubisoft+. With the money I save from not having to buy Ubisoft’s games as well as the games on Game Pass that I want to play day one (Microsoft’s and third parties), buying games digitally day one don’t change much if anything. The money im saving from the two subscription services evens out the credit I would get back from trading games in which is usually half of what the day one price was.

Also, there’s always dlc/expansions for most games and digital is just easier and more convenient. Plus, to be able to just download the game(s) and play them instantly or the next morning without having to go to Best Buy/GameStop or wait for the game to arrive via Amazon/Best Buy is just the way to go now.

Really wish EA would add a higher tier to EA Play for day one releases like Ubisoft does in which you get the best edition of the game.

Not only that but since im also playing older games, buying a game physically and not playing it day one would no longer make any sense due to the trade value decreasing. Now, that im all digital, the need to finish games quickly to trade them in is gone because obviously, I can’t trade in digital games.

And finally, im already getting prepared for the next Xbox console in 2026 as im expecting it to be digital only with Sony following suit with PlayStation 6 two years later. This way, no surprises or having to make changes. I will already be set.

Is EA Play Pro only on PC or something?

As far as im aware, yes which sucks.

Yeah but a few games in a completely different genre than the one you are a fan of are coming over so that…nullifies it or something I guess? Also you weren’t actually going to buy the game anyway you were just complaining to be negative, or at least that’s the prevailing “argument” here when someone is annoyed that they will miss out on these games that haven’t been available legally for over 20 years. Guess I should have kept my Dreamcast, oh well!

It’s just another version of the “xbox owners don’t play these kinds of games” nonsense that I see from Sony zealots , I guess the over 200 hrs I have in SF6 don’t count. Shit is very annoying to have to deal with but it is what it is. Always glad to see Xbox getting the rpgs I’ve wanted to see on there though, amazing how one can be happy about one thing while still being disappointed about another isn’t it?

Edit: Jez weighs in again

Fingers crossed.

I don’t think anyone thinks people are fanboys for wanting the fighting game collections. Hell, Powerstone might have been the one game I considered one for.

It’s just that we understand why and none of these games are going to come until the issue is resolved, if it’s ever resolved.

Powerstone… Yes every Dreamcast game needs to be on Xbox :slightly_smiling_face:

If they can solve 30 FPS for Dark Souls 3 back then, they can work on this. Just hang in there.

Now I’ve seen it all because correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t this the same company that tries to shit on Starfield any chance they get? Plus, they’ve been weirdly attacking other Microsoft games too, but maybe i am thinking of somebody else

edit; lmao I see it is them haha

Though the rest of the comments are anti-DEI and anti-woke stuff. A reminder for me to avoid X lol.

Yep, I mean I agree with the sentiment of the article but where was this energy when Starfield was relentlessly shit on for months after release?

Remember the Insomniac leaks, and how everyone was suddenly against leaks after that happened, after gleefully taking part in them beforehand? This seems to be another case of suddenly having a problem with something after it happens to a Sony studio. It’s the hypocrisy that grinds my gears.
