Are we ever going to see Xbox sort their branding out? Xbox splash screen on next years Call of Duty regardless of platform to show it to the casual audience

I wished State of Decay 1 was Easier, although I did make it to the end it was not enough ammo and hp especially with the screamers and the horde, such a fun game though and I loved the story plot and the game texture. The game play was awesome I wish I could change the game settings for easy, and I went back to the store in the beginning to save people and it was super impossible

There's a keyboard short cut on the ROG Ally quick menu on the left hand side where you can change resolutions, etc. to use in game. Hit the left side button to bring up the shortcuts and select keyboard. Took me awhile to realize that too 😂

@jez.c I'm really interested in that rumored Legion Go Oled with the VRR screen. VRR is arguably the reason I use the Ally over other options

Xbox should support Switch and not PlayStation, I think fans would be ok with that.

I am not buying Dell, Asus or any other branded Xbox. Shifting totally to playstation and Nintendo next gen. I'll just buy the first party games on sale on those months down the line. I can give up gamepass for that. $20 sub isn't that great a deal anymore anyway.

How was the year? Pretty much same as always. No GOTY exclusive winner, not even a nominee. Consoles are selling bad not sure what GP numbers are at even after COD. Ppl hyping up the next year. Well at least we have "no red lines" now, kinda crazy to me how quick ppl fall in line when a company shifts narrative lol.

"See this save file in Final Fantasy? I actually started it on my phone!" Okay but that's not a W. Almost all Xbox consumers (99.999%) just want to play on a console or a PC, an actual dedicated piece of hardware meant for games. You can argue that, okay, kids nowadays just want to game on their phone, but instead of resulting in Gears 6 being playable on phones, that will just result in a phone game being made instead. Also mobile gaming is degenerate, and Play Anywhere will only move the industry backwards in terms of quality. Sacrificing the soul and quality of video games so that kids can play on their phones is not going to improve the industry or the hobby.
@jez.c18 күн бұрын
I think that's an over simplification. Phone / cloud is still TV / Xbox-first. The game's aren't designed for phone, I guess with the exception of Genshin Impact. Cloud on phone supports more users, increases play time hours -- that's the issue Xbox is trying to solve. I think there are bigger issues at play degrading game quality, namely shareholder culture around AAA publishers. Japanese devs and indie devs are bringing the quality and creativity in droves while Western publishers like EA and Ubisoft flounder around. It's nothing to do with phones there. It's kinda two separate issues.
@benwarren169716 күн бұрын
I think shrinking the conversation on why xbox consumers are upset with this direction to "plastic fanboys" is short sighted. One large issue I've yet to see Jez or Rand mention is what happens to the $1k's of digital purchases you made on the xbox? What happens to the social groups, achievements, and multi-player aspects you grew on this platform
@jez.c9 күн бұрын
i wrote a ton of articles on exactly that point! and weve talked about it a lot. "what happens to the digital purchases" is the MAIN problem.

I'll have to go back and check out one of those articles though! I honestly may have missed y'all bringing it up. Just been hearing alot lately on the primitive side of the console war arguments versus some of the utility concerns especially from the legacy media. Thanks again and cheers to the new year to yall and the Windows Central Team
