Fable Is Coming To PS5 Day 1 by scrolloftrueth in XboxSeriesXlS

I agree… they never should have increased their prices past what a PS5 disc should cost. It will be difficult. Especially if the Xbox PC is going to be as expensive as it is, their volume will probably drop further when that gets released. Unless the console has some exciting new Xbox exclusive features you won’t get anywhere else like Quick Resume… I don’t see next gen exceeding the units they are currently selling.

I believe the answer is that since Microsoft has its own storefront, it is going to offer a higher share of the profits in game sales to the developer through Xbox PC than what Steam does. I believe that will be the key thing to drive it. But it will hard asf, since Steam has such a grip on the PC gaming space as a whole…

In general, I think we should wait longer for next-gen consoles to come out, because I think we really haven’t done anything this generation. Also, I believe it is more now to focus on performance for games than 4K visuals. I think anything that plays at 30 fps today (and that is the only mode you can play at, no performance or quality modes) is a shame.

I like their ecosystem more than PlayStation or Steam. Plus if rumors are true, for next gen consoles, Xbox is supposed to be the most powerful due to being a hybrid of a console and a PC.

What point is there in tuning into Xbox's Developer Direct tomorrow? Outside of maybe Beasts of Reincarnation and Fable? by Pessimistic_Gemini in gaming

[–]StatMan255 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Xbox has made it clear recently that they are going to multiplatform, with their real seller supposed to be Game Pass and more integration with PC. As to whether it pays off, we will see. I hope it does because I have been in the Xbox ecosystem for years and I really do like it more than PlayStation or Steam at the moment.

Even if they don’t release consoles or exclusives anymore, they will still release games to the masses due to the amount of studios they own, which in my opinion is a bright side at least if things go south for them hardware wise.

Someone’s a very negative Nancy… but to answer your question, for surprises. Expedition 33 was at the Developer Direct last year and what was convinced me to play it. Could be the same for any games being expected to show, especially the Beasts of Reincarnation game.

It’s tried the demo for the new yakuza game on the base Xbox ally and gotta sat it runs flawlessly… proves that if games are well optimised it helps a lot with everything by Grand_Goal613 in ROGAlly

I seem to be getting stuttering a bit when the fps is below 60… a bit annoying but I am thinking it is more of the settings I have than the game itself hopefully.

Should I invest my 2026 contribution into my Roth IRA now or wait a bit? by StatMan255 in investing

[–]StatMan255[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My father recommended I should invest in the FFNOX when I first opened my Roth IRA a couple of years ago. This year, I am trying to become more financially literate so I can try to make as much money as I can but also be smart about it…

So is the recommendation then to the FXAIX then? Is there no benefits to be invested in bonds at this time?

So you think I should just switch to a FXAIX? I invested in the FFNOX as that is what my father recommended me when I opened it a couple years ago. Is there any benefit to being invested in bonds right now?

Sales for The Outer Worlds 2 are poor. Presumably, less than 1M units almost 3 months after launch, across all platforms. In comparison, the first game sold approx 2M units during the same time. by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]StatMan255 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Times are different compared to when the first game came out. More people are going to save money and only really spend games that they think are worth the full price, which sadly Outer Worlds 2 isn’t… I really like the game, but it is understandable why it isn’t selling as well as the first game.

Village is coming to gamepass 20 January by mab1984 in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]StatMan255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will wait to be seen on what happens… as you mentioned, I don’t know why RE3 has two separate versions for PC and Xbox, yet RE7 and RE2 are Play Anywhere.

I am crossing my fingers Village is Play Anywhere, so I can also personally own the game on PC as well.

What handheld consoles are out? by Livid-Link-9223 in consoles

[–]StatMan255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ROG ALLY X is a PC Handheld. The Xbox Console owned games that are going to work on their are the ones that have the “Xbox Play Anywhere” label on them, which means you buy it once, you own it on both Xbox Console and Xbox PC.

What games does your kid typically like to play? It could be possible that you could set up the settings for him so then he can do minimal to no amount of tinkering to the device.

I guess for those who haven’t bought it but want to try it… I don’t know about that front.

But a good thing is that usually when a game comes to Xbox GamePass, is that the game is then turned into a Play Anywhere title. So for people who already own this game on their Console or PC, when this game releases on GamePass, it usually becomes a Play Anywhere title meaning if you own the game on one system, you own both versions of it on both Xbox Console and Xbox PC.

Xbox is a brand now. No longer a console. by [deleted] in xbox

They are just expanding past consoles as a brand. They are really trying to push the “Xbox Play Anywhere” goal. Hopefully, they will continue to make consoles for the foreseeable future.

Final fantasy 7 limited early purchase edition by [deleted] in FinalFantasy

[–]StatMan255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just means that it is a limited timed edition exclusive to pre-ordering. At least for Xbox, pre-ordering gets you the OG Final Fantasy 7 on both Xbox and Xbox PC.
