Well, if you like being an ordinary provocateur, then you are welcome. All ordinary people are well aware of the last year and a half, the distribution of top console sales has been working.

What people even spend money on in Candy Crush?

Same sort as folks who buy cat ears for Halo?

I could understand Halo as all those cosmetics sell, but in Candy Crush you literally just break various figures with the same color no?

For anybody who had HDMI-CEC problems since one of the last few updates (TV not turning off when shutting down Xbox), switching to energysaver mode fixed this for me.

Man I hope Microsoft realize the huge transmedia potential in Overwatch. It’s possible to take that universe into something close to the Marvel universe imo

They should. I mean Blizzard for sure aware about that. They had some Overwatch animation even right?

I can imagine faces turning steamy red on this headline. I can’t help but think there’s a lot of “triggering” news this whole week. It would be nice ammunition for a “sauce” video content, but I digress. Anyway, this week lineup of news only prove Xbox is no sloucher. The rise is only the beginning.

wow Xbox owns or will own candy crush and roblox is a console exclusive for years now

Animated shorts and comics, which were great but not really what I have in mind. They basically work as marketing, hero backstory, and lore for the game.

I played it when it was new when I had nothing else better to do and at the time you could pay for more lives in order to finish a level, I never did of course but I can see why they make a lot, those bejewelled style games can be very addictive

Im sure they’ve added other pay options too since then as that was a very long time ago

If MS were smart they’d be looking into GPU bonuses for Candy Crush

The metacritic narrative has died along many other narratives. Next is the awards/goty narrative. It’s harder to kill that one tbh because Xbox doesn’t make much of the equivalent of Oscar-bait games :phil_unsure:

but I think they’ll be some too, starting with Starfield

I think Microsoft might introduce something like this. I mean there is Google Play Pass and Apple something, they can introduce that in their Mobile Game Pass. But they are kinda stingy even in their current GPU.

It is kinda fascinating how it is basically overnight.

Honestly this kinda proves games don’t need to launch on every platform for it to be a huge hit. Xbox, Mobile and PC was enough to create a something like 20B evaluation company. It’s most likely biggest on mobile which just shows why it’s not even a choice anymore to have a mobile arm, it’s almost a requirement for a huge IP.

He’s not losing anything by upgrading the game as the Series X version simply overwrites the Xbox One version. The install size should be nearly identical.

A new leak or from last year?

And here I am, still using the Xbox One controller with my Series X. lmao

Pretty much this.

Is it the size for you too?

I like the Series X/S controller, at first I loved the weight of the Elite V2 but after using the SX controller it felt more comfortable.

I really like the slightly bulky feel, but it also feels…here comes the word… premium. I don’t know what else to call it.

And I just love being able to put it on the charger when needed and after a few hours it full again.
