Microsoft and Xbox have a pivotal year ahead of them. While it seems the launch of the Xbox Series X is coming along better than the Xbox One launch, there are still a few things Microsoft need to do to get themselves ahead. Here are 5 New Year's resolutions that can them make it big for the future.
The Hogwarts Legacy video game is on sale for the lowest price yet. You can get the Standard Edition on Steam for $29.99 down from $59.99 (that's $30 off). And, the Digital Deluxe Edition can be picked up for just $59.99, which is $59.99 off its usual price of $119.98.
50% is about as far as I made it through the game too. It started so strong in and around the castle... $30 feels about right though
Saad from eXputer: "Despite the success of Hogwarts Legacy, WB's decided to focus on live service and I've lost all hope for a potential sequel."
Let's just chalk this game up as a fantastic one-off, and WB can go f******* rot in hell.
I have no idea how eceutive teams can look at both Hogwarts and suicide squad next to each other and go hey our critical and commercial darling was a fluke suicide squad was the real success they just didn't know it.
Seemingly there's some weird ego involved someone wants to be proven right
I bought thought it was okay first 10 hrs then boy did the repeative gameplay kick in
They will realize that live service games die pretty much as soon as they begin and then they’ll stop and we may still get a sequel.
Taking into account the skin’s styles, inspiration and final product, we’re going to rank every skin from the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 Battle Pass in order from worst to best
"Continued Transparency"
"Namely around the information leading up to the release of the Xbox Series X and S. Xbox made sure that all the information was made widely available and broken down easily. That way everybody was on the same page. This helped the Xbox team avoid some of the debacle that Sony had to deal with when it finally revealed the PS5."
Microsoft was no more transparent than Sony in the information they provided about their consoles. The only difference was the timing of the information revealed. And Microsoft had just as many "debacles" as Sony. Was Microsoft transparent about the fact that the games were all running on PC because RDNA 2.0 wasn't ready? Nope.
"The thought is this: If a player that primarily games on PC becomes a Game Pass subscriber, they now have access to xCloud on their mobile device. Let’s say this same player now wants to purchase a new console when they come back into stock.
Are they going to get the console locked outside of the ecosystem they’re now using? Or the console that synchronizes with everything they’re doing? What if that same console had an incredible slate of first-party titles recently released? And the company behind these games was completely open about the inner workings of the studios? The choice seems obvious then."
As a player who primarily games on PC, why would I buy a console where all the games are currently available on my PC. If I'm going to buy a console then it is because it offers me something I don't already have.
And why did this piece on "new years resolutions" suddenly turn into a sales pitch?
I would like them to stop taking form the gaming world (like the ongoing ZeniMax grab) and add to it instead. Just because you're rich doesn't mean everything should just be yours.
