For those that have been around a fair while, traditionally, the XGS OT has always served as a kind of safe space for the community to talk Xbox and gaming without having to deal with bad faith posters and concern trolls.
Since the creation of these forums, we feel that this safe space is no longer necessary.
This is the place to talk among your peers in the Xbox Community.
This is the way.
However, we also recognise that for the ‘old guard’ change is scary.
So we’ve elected to do two things - first, we’ve created this OT - a general “Catch-All” thread to allow for ongoing conversation about everything that doesn’t deserve a new thread.
Secondly, the Xbox Game Studios OT will continue, but we would ask all members to treat that thread for it’s purpose - conversation specifically focused around Xbox Game Studios. Found a new job posting relating to any of the studios? Cool! Post it there.
Posts containing tweets about other subjects or general gaming are no longer necessary.
In general, we’d ask all users to remember a simple rule:
If you think about it. Xbox very much has their own third person action adventure that people keep begging for, it IS Crackdown. It just never really took off, in the sense of becoming truly huge, truly great. I won’t deny I had fun with 3, but if you’d ask me to give you one memorable moment now…i couldn’t. It’s kinda too bad, it could be so much more.
Jedi Fallen Order is an excellent game!!! Highly recommended!!! Hoping Respawn is developing a sequel to it along with Titanfall 3!!!
Agreed. It’s only a few more weeks.
Crackdown is definitely NOT the third person action adventure game that im begging for. lol. I do hope the Ryse 2 rumors end up being true though. I would be so happy!!!
While it’s absolutely true that overall a third person action adventure is lacking on Xbox, probably will be for a while, Crackdown was one. But now it’s rip.
Ryde 2 with much more moves, many improvements, way less repetitive…sign me up. Wouldn’t be an exclusive though.
See even @Shpeshal_Nick agrees with me that the show will be atleast good and better than last year!
And I’m sorry I used “Doom posting” which maybe was a bit harsh I just think some here judged a bit to soon and shouldn’t set their expectations to low before knowing the whole thing.
Crackdown 3 is definitely a third person action adventure game. Just not one im interested in. Definitely hoping Ryse 2 is real, exclusive or multi-platform, I don’t care even though I will say that if it’s real, I would make sure that it’s exclusive to Xbox since it launched exclusively for Xbox One. What a damn good game Ryse was.
As long as we see a lot of gameplay, this year’s showcase should easily be better than last year’s.
