XboxEra Community Hangout |OT4| Meat Circus

If this were 2007-2010 that would hold more weight but i think Forza Horizon 4 is played by more than 30 million people it is the most popular racing game ever and Forza Horizon 5 will be even bigger than that will Halo Infinite be able to sustained that i know the launch will be play by a lot but 2-4 years from now is the real test if it can sustained it.

Its a far more popular genre, and 343 finally seem to have figured out how to make a great Halo game.

Its going to be way bigger then Forza

For once i hope you are right and that Halo will be way bigger than Forza cause Forza Horizon 5 will be the biggest Forza Ever and if Halo Infinite will be bigger than that means it will be a mega success and as Xbox Gamers we all win :grinning:

Personally, I get news on Twitter faster than I ever did on ResetEra because all they do is copy/paste from Twitter. As for rumors, that has more to do with who you follow/believe/has good accuracy than anything else.

I can’t play Gamepass right now because of some dumbass bug in the Windows store causing games to not install, or even play some of the ones I already have installed. It requires some optional windows update which requires me to update windows to a certain version which I can’t bother with. Microsoft still has a long way to go with their PC vision. It’s why I a gawk at people who talk of Steam as something people have a blind allegiance to. Trust me, it’s not blind. Using Steam and using Windows Store are miles apart in their user experience and a big reason why people are reluctant of using anything else, which comes off as blind allegiance, but yeah, MS should either invest mad heavily in improving the store ASAP or do a smarter thing while taking a hit on revenue - just launch Gamepass on Steam and watch that shit explode.

MS Store has always been tied to OS, it’s not new news. XD

it’s just so annoying, they should decouple them so that issues with the OS doesn’t produce issues with the store. I gotta format my PC for this issue to be potentially fixed now. :man_facepalming: The only reason I’m not flipping out more or being more anxious is because of getting ultimate till 2024 lmao, that alone has me like ā€œfuck it, I’ll take my sweet time with thisā€. :joy:

Maybe in the new W11 is less convoluted, who knows, anyway I always updated my W10 and I have never had huge issues with MS Store/Xbox App, but I’m not anymore a heavy pc gamer, I play only strategy games over there.

Maybe, but it’ll be a while tbh for it to get to a decent state. DOOM Eternal came months later to PC Gamepass, same with PoE: Deadfire (both first party games at that point in time so there’s no hold up of contracts), Outriders came to Windows Store/PC gamepass now, Destiny 2 came now a year later, DBZ Fighterz skipped PC Gamepass, it’s just a pattern I want to see erased from Xbox’s PC side of things. It’s getting better at least.

The difference is that nobody cares about PS Now that much even on Playstation side. It is like a side job, but not the core business that Sony is trying to push.

Unlike Xbox where using Game Pass is justified defense against anything on Xbox. ā€œBut we have Game Passā€, ā€œconsole sales are not important because Game Passā€, ā€œgame sales are not important because Game Passā€ and so on. MS stated that growth of Game Pass is their sole goal so everything else is secondary there.

It will be interesting to see if Playstation will be able to sell the amount of consoles comparable with Game Pass subscribers…Logically it should not be possible due to so many entry points for Game Pass, but who knows. Would be awkward though.

Friday has a good chance of finally a trailer or screenshots of GTA Trilogy, right?

now the forum is much faster. thanks for updating the servers. :slightly_smiling_face:

Bungie seems to be doing well. Honestly the way Destiny is monetized and handled is beyond gross.

Consoles are generally sold at a loss to start and a small profit a few years in. Even double the number of sales of consoles isn’t the same type of ROI that a basic subscription service is. There are so many ways that Xbox is attacking things that they do not rely on a single one that is outside of Game Pass. That is the point, not that sales don’t matter, but that the subscription is what they’re using to push forward with everything else. Sony is pushing the older model as it works for them, but it has a much lower ceiling in practice than what Xbox is hoping to do with their subscription model being any and everywhere.

Huh? There’s something wrong here. Why the One X is having a lower resolution than PS4 Pro?
