Eurogamer: "Playground Games returns with its most impressive work yet. We took a trip to the studio to meet the team, talk about the tech upgrades and check out the X Enhanced advantages. Microsoft's enhanced console is lead platform here, so what does that mean in terms of improvements vs the S?"
Here are some great PC games that are even better with a controller. In fact, one can say that they're meant to be played with a controller.
That's why I don't mess with PC gaming for the most part. When I game I'm relaxing. Hard to do that with a keyboard and mouse. That's just my thought on it.
I'm still hoping bethesada adds real controller support to the og fallout or re release them on xbox like what was done with wasteland 1

What exactly is so hard about using a keyboard and mouse compared to a controller when subjectively relaxing? Do you game upside down on a crossbar?
At least in my opinion, with a controller I can lay back comfortably in my couch however I want. Keyboard + mouse would require a table and chair, and requires investing in ergonomics not to completely mess up my back (not saying the couch is good for my back either but achieving comfortability is easier). Again, emphasizing that I'm speaking out of opinion, and I agree with you that concepts of relaxing and which is better are both very subjective matters. All in all I don't think it's a particularly good article since it really boils down to personal preference.
My old ass Xbox 360 Rock Candy controller still works fine today "For the Players"
A pricing error saw players briefly get Forza Horizon 4 and 5 cheaply, but Xbox taking the game back over a week later is a dangerous precedent.
People should be upset about this. I don't care if people bought those 2 Forza games on the cheap. Microsoft made the pricing error for those moments, not the customers. And why wait a full week to finally "decide" to take the games back?
Everyone had a fit when Konami forced Sony to take away P.T. from people's psn accounts. That was FREE and people had a fit. But these Forza games people PAID for and not a peep? That is nonsense.
This is almost as bad as Overwatch 1, a game people paid for deliberately being made to not work anymore for Overwatch 2, even though people PAID for Overwatch 1.
For all the cheerleaders that want a digital only gaming future, this is the start of the reality you want.
That all digital future people push for. Now people are starting to see why the "haters" argued against it.
Yeah, they're always "haters" until they find things they bought are suddenly gone or not working.
Sadly, that's a lot of people; who cares "as long as it's not me" scenario is common.
Tbh a disk ain't gonna work either in the future with about 70mb of the games on the disk ?
Too bad the full game usually isn’t on the disk anymore. That was my main push towards all digital gaming. And since prices typically suck I just wait on sales and grab only 1-2 games day 1 annually anymore.
@EveetonFC & ApexWolf22
You two should really play something other than AAA games. Just bought evil west, great game, works perfectly out the box. Played it for about 6hrs before i let the update install by restarting it at the end of my session. Get away from the Ubisoft/EA/Activision games and most of them just work out the box.
Totally agree with you, It is scummy tactics that MS should be called on.
If the game was sold at a cheap price by mistake then fix the price and let the ppl who paid t keep their games.
It's not like millions of ppl used that deal and the negative press will be far more expensive and damaging versus the saving.
Again PPLs are right to be pissed!
Aren't these games on GP though? Regardless this isn't a good look on MS. The all digital future has been slowly exposing itself for awhile now. They should of let ppl keep those games.
It's not merely "scummy tactics". It's literal theft from those who bought it. It's freaking mass felony by MS.
@lodos the truth is they’re not upset about it their mentality is “ I don’t care soon we will have tons of free games after the purchase goes through “

Imagine the 'great concern' and aNtIcOnSuMeR comments from the usual suspects if Sony did this lol.
Are ppl praising Microsoft here?
Bad practices need to be called no matter the company.
Right. And there’d be quite a few articles about it. We’ll see how this plays out though.
The only real backlash MS got was when they raised the price of Live. They had small time backlash when certain DRM aspects were still present. (which they finally resolved ) I doubt this will hit main stream gaming media tbh.
If Sony did this people would carry on as if they're on Jim Ryan's payroll and explain how its a good thing.
Really?
Because I remember how everyone came down on Sony when they took P.T. away from people at the request of Konami. A FREE demo.
This is the first I'm hearing of this, if true and people paid regardless of price then this is utterly disgusting.
Ms stuffed up that's there problem, not a peep from any media about this either, what a surprise.
100% and I have the purchase receipt and refund email to prove it. This proves that digital only gives the likes of Microsoft and Sony way to much power.
If they can take a game off a refund you like this. Then what happens if for say the next Forza comes out people pay £60 for it rather than rent it on gamepass. Then a few months later they revoke the licence and refund you and say well we raised the price to £80 now so if you want it again pay the £80.
Sony isn't the one pushing the all digital future like that. Sony allows games to be press physically still. As low as I've seen 800 copies. While ms has a minimum of 75000. That's crazy. Ms is also the one that had to revise the Xbox one cause they were on some crazy sh. Look it up
I heard Warner Bros and other studios are removing your digital copy from other sources and making you repurchase it on their platform. You'll rent and own nothing will be strong on digital services.
Well I think I will cancel my Game pass subscription so they might have saved £79.99 but will lose £131.88 a year due to this poor error on their behalf.
Person talking about cancelling Game Pass after supposedly purchasing a game that is FREE on Game Pass... and all because of the money. lol
Daily Video Game writes: "If you own an Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One console and are currently looking to pick up new games to play, Xbox Store has numerous games on sale with up to 95% off from several publishers, including Electronic Arts, Bandai Namco, Ubisoft, and more!"
I'm in love
Looking forward to PC analysis
This looks even better on PC. Amazing demo, can't wait for this.
