This has been a really bad year of game releases for me. So many duds I’ve spent full price on. I’m going to rock out on only Game Pass for a while. Don’t think I’ll miss much.

• Scarlet Nexus

@power

• Nier Replicant
• Biomutant
• Scarlet Nexus

Only played Biomutant for a few hours and will go back to it when they release the current generation upgrade but I thought it was solid. The few issues I had in those few hours seem to have already been patched. Shame about the other two games as both have been said to be good. Hopefully, your next game hits for you.

Thanks Peter, you’re a homie.

Biomutant is definitely a game that should have been $40 max, the $60 pricetag didnt do that game any favors, especially in reviews

I love Nier

Just tried xcloud on win10 through wifi and bluetooth and the input lag was unbearable. I tried doom eternal to test the input lag and it was a very unpleasant experience. Image quality was great though. No artifacting or stutters or anything. What’s weird though is that the input lag seemed much less when I tried xcloud on android a couple months back. Like there was barely any lag. I could play racing games without problem. Might have been on touch controls now that I think about it. I’ll try it wired sometime this week to see if it makes a big difference.

I just tried Doom eternal on xcloud via android app and the lag was sooooo much less. It was still there but after playing a little I got used to it and it played very well. It’s actually incredible how much better it is than on the browser. I hope they manage to update the browser version fairly soon cause playing on my laptop screen is much more enjoyable than on a small phone screen.

I should add that I played on the same connection through wifi at the same spot in the house.

Were both of them Bluetooth or was the Android connected via USB?

2025 release date and GAAS elements within the single player… that’s what Tom Henderson has been saying.

Klobrille

[Biggzy (Hassan)]

@Ace_Maverick

Oh! Klobrille, that is the second such statement he has made in the past two days . We at least have a good idea what one of them is going to be and that is the Nintendo partnership.

I was thinking could the Nintendo partnership be not really about gamepass or games but with the Xbox Adaptive controller and nintendo making it easier to be used with them

Nah, it is highly likely to revolve around Game Pass in some way. We know Xbox has been trying to get Game Pass on to other consoles and this is why I think it is the most likely outcome but we shall see.

Let’s summon Xcloud on switch

Used the same controller via bluetooth.

What if is announced at the same time with the Switch Pro ?

kind of funny because Xbox was just a few days ago saying “Xbox Unveils its Biggest Exclusive Games Lineup Ever” Starfield and Redfall with “Xbox Exclusive” etc. and a few months later Xbox games coming to another system(speculation).

looks inconsistent.
