We’ve got quite a few updates planned for the next year based on the community feedback we’ve been seeing, and I’ll have details on those in the future.
Saad from eXputer: "Utilizing its myriad strengths and masterful design, Elden Ring ruined gaming for me in a way I'll always be thankful for."
It sounds like you’re just an eldenring fan and not so much a fan of games by and large. Which theres nothing wrong with.
These are the easy Achievement/Trophy Games for the week of April 29th - May 5th, 2024
Microtransactions have gotten ridiculously overpriced in recent years, with titles now offering cosmetic skins worth more than some games.
There never was, the only time I paid for a microtransaction was on Blacklight Retribution (PS4) and it was because I enjoyed the game a lot so I felt the devs should get something for all that entertainment (€5 "membership")
I couldn’t believe what Blizzard charged for horse armor and cosmetics in Diablo 4…
I remember back in the day when a season pass was $15 and you got everything included in it. Now, I see them at $60 and you still don’t get everything.
As soon as gaming wasn't deemed nerdy anymore, and reached the casuals this happened. We're smart, but casuals play mobile games and other stuff, and don't really have anything to compare. They think gaming is supposed to be like this and pay for in game purchases.
I'm satisfied with the dashboard UI but it's good to hear Microsoft listening to the consumer and improving things that they want along with all the new IP's
I wonder what the other updates that aren't listed for next year are
I'm hoping to see a native app that allows you to stream music and video from your PC and Mac. An update on the party system would be nice as well.
This is the part I like:
"We’ve got quite a few updates planned for the next year based on the community feedback we’ve been seeing, and I’ll have details on those in the future."
Glad to hear there is going to be (hopefully) a lot of improvements next year!
Good to see the communication before hand, especially letting people know that their console will be completely powered down and requires you push the button to start it.
I am sure that there still will people who do not here about this though and end up thinking their console is broken.
