XboxEra Community Hangout |OT7| Define "AAAA"

There will be good stuff. And their will be stuff you are not interested in. If you will only be satisfied with a Xbox Showcase of Dreams you are setting yourself up for disappointment. My advise would be to have a cold beer at hand, pizza and just enjoy the show. Video games are meant to be fun after all.

Jim here doing Xbox a favour by taking the heat off them.

Jokes aside.

I’m going to max out my GamePass subscription before the E3 Showcase. My sub is currently until October 2023. I should be able to extend until May 2025. I figure there will be price or tier adjustments once the Activision acquisition completes or if UbiSoft+ is added / offered. There might be some interesting conversions to a Family Plan too.

Get in while the getting is inexpensive.

Is the man insane? What the hell is wrong with people.

Possibly emboldened by the impression that his shitty opinions are shared by the shitty people in charge of the US.

It’s so foreign to me to see these religious nutjobs in actual positions of power.

i swear playstation/jim ryan always got a bad news after xbox has bad news

Count your blessings, my friend. And keep a close eye on your government to make sure it doesn’t get any ideas.

This is year just keeps getting worse for me man. At least Starfield was making me look forward to something, and now that’s gone. Hope the June show reignites something in me.

I don’t see anything wrong if he doesn’t share any opinion and asks to people be respectful of their colleagues have different views on X issue.

Entirely tonedeaf on his part to belittle the situation by including the content that follows. To make that tonedeaf situation far worse, the additional content has overtones of ā€˜bitches should know their place’.

Yeah, the pet birthday stuff was completely weird as if it was from another copy paste email.

If he had just left it at ā€œlet people disagreeā€ or whatever, people might disagree but it is what it is

The dog stuff is just super strange to include and comes across really bad

Apparently, Jim Ryan is just a ā€œbusinessmanā€. ā€œWhat can we do ??ā€ ā€œNo one is thinking about CEOs when playing gamesā€¦ā€ ā€œThe whole industry is the same.ā€ ā€œSony just care about the bottom line.ā€ ā€œHe’s good at making money.ā€ ā€œIt is what it is.ā€

I guess I was optimistic… from what I read, it will probably be forgotten in a week, yeah.

Only A Plague Tale Requiem and Gotham Knights for me from this list.

Didn’t see this coming. I don’t think 505 Games has ever had a showcase or at least not that I know of. Hoping Control 2 from Remedy gets announced.

UGH. Of course it is.

Very much looking forward to Alan Wake 2!!! And best of all, third person survival horror!!!

Gameplay in October for a January release? I’m going with a wild prediction - delayed.

NOOOOO! I somehow missed this news. :frowning:

I wonder what content Techland fills in this June spot.

Yeah, but I want the meaty stuff so I’ll probably wait (I hate that word now) until the expansion releases to play more.

Well, it will probably be my GOTY now that Starfield is ded btw heh.

I’m probably going to replay the game via New Game Plus but not sure when. Will definitely be before the expansion launches in September. I haven’t played it since I completed the game but im not one who constantly plays or goes back to the same game. I usually wait for like you said, meaty content such as an expansion and then go back to the game.

Dying Light 2 is as of now my 2022 game of the year. Even if Starfield wasn’t delayed, DL 2 was still the favorite for me personally. Will see what happens for the second half of 2022. Hoping a few third party games release.

A Plague Tale Requiem, Evil West, Steel Rising, Bright Memory Infinite (which has disappeared) and Avatar will round out my second half of the year barring more delays of course.

Is Stalker 2 still scheduled for December or did that get delayed indefinitely due to the Russia/Ukraine conflict?
