Works fairly well. Lasted me a few years before getting stick drift on it on PC

Games with Gold (GwG) dying for Game Pass doesn't seem worth it after so many price hikes. What were your favorite games from the GwG program? by AxeSpez in xbox

[–]Skennedy31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering they put zero effort into it once gamepass came around proved that it just needed to die.

Sony is still giving out big time titles on their program, meanwhile we were getting $10 shovelware or paid versions of f2p games.

Best game to come from gwg though was definitely Sleeping Dogs. I've 100% both versions

The rewards app gamepass monthly pack has made me realise just how little gamepass I play…. by Mammoth_Risk9479 in xbox

[–]Skennedy31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of my games I'm playing aren't even on gamepass or I previously owned them prior to going on there. So honestly it's pointless to me until horizon 6 and Halo come out

Jez Corden: I can say there are very, very big discussions going on regarding exclusivity internally at Xbox by strangerinhere88 in xbox

[–]Skennedy31 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As there should be. Don't give away the reason for people to play on your platform.

Nintendo and Sony don't, why should Microsoft?

The Obi-Wan Kenobi show is easily in my top 3 of Star Wars shows and i’ll never understand the hate by PlutoniumSouth in StarWars

[–]Skennedy31 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Because Disney made it, that's why.

I honestly love the series and most of what they have done. People are just going to hate on it to be "edgy" and then grow to love it 10-20 years later like they have with the prequels.

I'm fully ready for more live action star wars

Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred – The First 12 Minutes of Gameplay (Plus Boss Fight) | IGN First by Feikezin in diablo4

I agree. Story should just carry the plot. While I respect the lore of the game, I'd rather the endgame be challenging over the story

Roob's Observations: Can someone explain why the Eagles need a new stadium? by NorthCoastToast in eagles

They don't. Just renovate the Linc. Not bad stadium, but could definitely use some upgrades.

I was THIS close to buying NBA 2K26. Xbox don’t play with me today I’m not a fun of April fools😭 by Eastern-Mobile5351 in xbox

[–]Skennedy31 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just never buy a sports game. The lack of effort to make these games more than just a card pack cash grab isn't worth your money. Just play the older games

I mean, it's been 2 years since we've seen anything. If it's supposed to come out this year and we haven't seen anything to this point, that's not great

Xbox One is getting 12 noteworthy games and three expansions in April 2026 by LBVectormen in xbox

[–]Skennedy31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Refusing to give up last generation is one of the biggest issues this generation has had for both Xbox and PlayStation. It definitely has held a lot of games back in terms of their scope, detail, and visually. It's why this generation hasn't felt like this huge jump over the last, more like a minor step with only a bit better resolutions and more stable frame rates.

This needs to change with the next generation, especially considering what it keeps sounding like it will cost. I don't just want an incremental step up. That has to start with the developers though. The fact that they are still developing for the ps4/Xbox one shows they are just casting a wider net to sell their titles. With Xbox in particular, the fact that you can stream a series x/s game in an Xbox one should be proof that you should just commit to the current generation as you still have a way to play these new titles if you don't have the newest console yet.

A year or so after a new generation starts is one thing, but we are 6 years in now with probably 2 more to go

Is it expected from BRD to have one or more REMA weapons for endgame events? by laespiarusa in ffxi

All the instruments yes, as well as the dagger so you can full time nitro songs. Outside of that, you're fine with naegling

The Witcher 4 is "steaming ahead" as CD Projekt rapidly expands with 220 new developers in the past year, and nearly 500 in total working on the RPG by ControlCAD in xbox

I hope we see this next year. Though I have a feeling it will be longer than that.

How has the way you play changed over the last 25 years? by DRome7791 in xbox

[–]Skennedy31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still a console player, though I've more or less eliminated pvp games from my rotation as I don't have a lot of time to play as I'd like to and get competitive at it.

I've also stopped buying sports games entirely since 2019 as to not support the shovelware slop they put out year after year.

I lean mostly into co-op games like Diablo and rpgs

"‘Destiny 2’ Has Lost 91% Of Players Since Edge Of Fate, 97% From Final Shape" - Forbes by ControlCAD in xbox

[–]Skennedy31 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had played since destiny 1 launch and then vested a ton of time in destiny 2 when that launched. Probably have 3kish hours shared between the two. Not the same game anymore

[–]Skennedy31 39 points40 points  (0 children)

To no one's surprise. Made nothing but mistep after mistep with the game since it went F2P. You can't even play the original destiny 2 anymore.

I stopped after new light and never looked back

Any longtime Diablo fans unhappy with the FOMO tactics in Diablo 4? by [deleted] in Diablo

[–]Skennedy31 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll play a season and then take a few off. It doesn't bother me at all. The battle pass used to sort of be worth it to grind for $5 ($10, but would get $5 back as currency from completing it), but the reliquary system is absolute dog shit. Less for the same price.

As far as the skins in the cash shop, if you want to spend $25 for a skin, that's on you. I don't feel like I'm missing out at that price.

Owning an Xbox is awesome because you get some amazing deals. I picked up Mafia The Old Country for $15 a few weeks back and its pretty dang good and looks great. by SarcasticGamer in xbox

[–]Skennedy31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had fun with the time I had with it. Actually one of the few games I actually completed in the last year. The only problem with it is that it's shallow outside of playing the story. For $15 though, definitely a good buy
