XboxEra Community Hangout |OT9| Waiting for Developer_E3

Should I just wait for the next version of nintendo hardware to play?

I don’t want to sound anti Microsoft but the games that scored well aren’t games that the public will include when talking about games. It’s a shame that people will ignore stuff like Pentiment, Flight Simulator, grounded, and others because they aren’t games in popular genres. I think once Microsoft releases games that fit genre of games that get nominated for GOTY then people will give them benefit of the doubt. I do feel the major issue with Microsoft is we have too many insiders created chaos and we don’t have that with any other publishers.

So folks also ignoring Forza Horizon and Halo and Psychonauts 2 and DeathLoop when talking about games? Those were all part of the year where Microsoft was the highest scoring metacritic publisher. Basically, people just ignore Microsoft games all around.

Microsoft has the critically successful games. There is just a baseless narrative still going around.

If FPS is important to you, then yes. Community is very active if you into breeding, shiny hunting, raids and/or competition.

“the public” the games SOLD well. lmao what you really mean is online forumgoers who are entrenched in console wars.

I agree I think what happens they ignore some of those games because either multiplat or launched on other platforms first. I’ll prob stop here because shouldn’t bring other space talks to this thread

How can this remotely be true when these games are hitting up to 25M players, do you think they’re all hardcore Xbox fans? How is Forza Horizon not popular it’s about to hit 27M players lol do you mean popular in list wars or GOTY nominations?

FH5 has not moved from the top 15 most played spot since launch.

Yeah, I think mentioned earlier they ignore games like Forza Horizon, flight sim, psychonaut, and others because doesn’t fit category of goty nomination or were multiplat. Again I’ll prob stop here since my posts can be viewed as negative and shouldn’t bring narratives from other places into thread

To lighten the mood, who’s ready for the best divisional rivalry in all of sports.

Grounded is not niche, it has over 15 million players so far… That is more then Fallout 76 for an example. Grounded is only on Xbox and PC to put things into perspective. People can ignore when talking about games like Grounded for example but, people plays it is what really matters.

Win-win situation to be on Game Pass. Huh. I thought it was the opposite.

Artstyle reminds of Pentiment.

Just spreading the word to ease the fear.

Good way to clear up the FUD right there. Though I doubt there will be any pleased looking thumbnail faces on youtubers discussing it

This sounds hopeful for the campaign too. Although I really would not be against it if that’s a separate thing, not part of Infinite.

They deserved a chance. Infinite was a hell of a game in a time where it was really challenging. With new management in place and possibly a refresh within the field (even though the cost is painful alas release), they should be granted a shot to tell everyone they got this.

Absolutely. But it sucks that SP people had to leave, but nothing we can do about it.

We can only think what happened rather than know what happened. For now, take this a sigh of relief.

We’re off to good start to make the new week a stronger and brighter week.
