While we’re here, the xbox adaptive controller is pretty cool even if you don’t have any kind of issue. It can be customised with third party button pads and arcade sticks which you plug into the adaptive controller. Great for playing basic games. I read that it’s almost like a keyboard in a sense. It’s quite big and you can add a lot of buttons.
So what happened, do other players raid you and loot your entire base if you aren’t sitting at the computer all day to defend it?
Overpriced crap I’ll stick with my xbox but this news is good for Linux users who want to play games right?
I’d consider buying 1 dlc pack for Stellaris but atm I just played the base game on GamePass to learn the basics. I think the other user in this thread had a point about the industry needing to make money constantly and not just make money upon release. I’m glad that paradox supports their games unlike other companies that make dreadful console ports to xbox and never update anything, even when the tools and advice exists from microsoft.
What I dislike more than paradox is these companies that publish a game and abandon it after a few months. They could at least update the graphics for Series S/X consoles but no, games like Aliens: Dark Descent and Batman are left with blurry 2012 graphics because the companies don’t care. Even worse is the games with freezing or crashing bugs.
Sure paradox charge a lot of money for dlc and they keep pumping it out but the same could be said for age of empires 2 and 4. If the game is worth it for you then you’ll buy a major dlc bundle and spend all your time in the game you like most.
I think the base game stinks and it doesn’t give me much to work with. I can’t even do espionage without Nemesis dlc. Options are limited in my opinion. Same thing with cities skylines. Base game doesn’t offer much.
That’s true. I have a similar dilemma with war thunder. It can be expensive and I feel like it’s rage inducing. Surely buying a full game is better for replay value. Why spend extra when there are so many other options.
And so, I shop around. GamePass on Xbox Series S has been great for 2 months. It gives me a clear picture of what I might pay for in the future. Stellaris seems pretty cool though and they keep supporting it, which can’t be said for the bargain bin games that I pick up for pennies.
Stellaris is like cities skylines - really bland stock game. I think if you just buy pack 1 for stellaris it’s pretty good. That’s what someone on xbox told me. It’s annoying to research it but I think it’s hard to go wrong. More money = more gameplay options.
It isn’t dead it’s just going to be third party hardware in future, but they are releasing a new console. The hardware will still exist from 2027 until 2037. People will be buying xbox consoles 8 years from now.
I’m on Premium at the moment it’s the same price as youtube and many other subscriptions. Ultimate is just ridiculous and you’re not going to get brand new AAA games upon release for the price of two lattes a month.
I think most business and official correspondence has a bold subject line, and in the past perhaps they used full caps on type writers (what would I know, I was born in 1990). I like the idea of just putting the subject in the first couple of lines to make the point, sometimes having a dedicated subject line takes up precious space. I usually re-write several times over until it’s cropped enough to fit the subject line :)
Are you also boycotting Sony and Nintendo? They all use DRM and they all increase prices over time.
My xbox series s has 2 gb of ram so I just laugh at articles like this.
Do it. I have a Series S and it’s pretty good if I ignore the laggy UI and the controller which is designed for a child’s hand. They changed the grip in this generation to appeal more to children and maybe also the Japanese market. I hate the controller for Xbox Series but I believe that consoles are a good way to explore games. There are many games I’ve never beat before. I’m on gamepass premium but I have to cancel it. Anyway, gamepass has given me new ideas for what I should buy in the future. I might end up buying a Series X just as the generation ends its life because I haven’t played all the games that I want yet, for this console generation. I still want to beat Phoenix Point, get Stellaris with DLC and maybe try competitive multiplayer in Age Of Empires games. People need to get over the obsession with high spec PCs. It’s just entertainment, how seriously do people have to agonise over it?
Lol this is just tragic. How would these people write a letter, even just to out in their neighbour’s letterbox regarding a burglary or something? Do people not think that they need to write a brief title?
Lots of manipulation from CIA and Washington DC lobbyists too.
Overall it’s true but there’s a lot of people pushing agendas on there too.
I’m shadow banned everywhere. These companies must have a file on me which they share with each other. Social media is just a waste of time now. I’m not even allowed to criticise the Ukrainian government any more.
Those of us who are older need to reconsider whether we care or not. I’m 35 and I realise that GTA is primarily about mass appeal. It wants to be the Forza Horizon, Flight Sim and Call Of Duty all in one. Teenagers are obsessed with it, along with Red Dead Redemption 2 and Assassin’s Creed. I don’t care much for open world games and I stay away from over-hyped games. The other day I was writing to a 16 year old on Xbox and I told him to check out Enter The Gungeon and Neon Abyss. One by one we shall reclaim these kids away from AAA disappointment 😁
I think the concept fits Microsoft mission - allowing people to connect with technology in different ways. That’s the name of the game. People whine about ai, but voice commands and ai assistants will be good for some people. No more screwing around with 10 point fonts on a 7 inch screen.
Apple products integrate with a lot of healthcare stuff, so it only makes sense if microsoft makes accessible products.
