The xbox is shite. You should not get one and therefore not post in this thread.

Agree with this part.
Jokes aside, I'm serious.
Good post.
Had to be Switch.
Huge catalogue of Indies and some top quality first party titles.
Switch still runs like ass though unfortunately. But I agree I would take a Switch in your case.
How much can you get a Switch for? I'll think about it. Kinda dissapointed XBoxcafe.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is cool. The game library is cool, theres a lot of stuff there you play on a whim and enjoy for hours. I dont normally enjoy racing games but had great fun with Forza Horizon (despite the god awful commentators and music). Sea of Thieves is a very good multiplayer game and its network is better in most regards for multiplayer in general. Carrying games from one generation to the next is free basically, no spending full price for Last of Us every single console generation.
We're 18 months into a covid hit console generation, 95% or so of the game library is going to be identical. Its hard to make a strong case for either console let alone both
Did you have a Wii U? I've found the Switch really disappointing and hardly used but I just don't think those games are for me anymore, especially as a lot of the best games on there I already had on Wii U.
It's not just you. The Switch has been massively disappointing. Few good RPG's and BOTW was obviously immense but apart from that it's been probably my least used console of the last few years, which is some accomplishment when you can use it anywhere.
I got a wii u too. I only buy nintendo consoles every 3rd generation or so at this point. They just dont release enough to carry them on their own.
Having said that i think Breath of the Wild and its sequel can probably carry a console on their own. And more or less no one bought a wii u so theres a pile of great games from that they never played. And its fairly cheap and the handheld thing and old nintendo titles and animal crossing was pretty popular for a while - it makes a good 2nd console.
Yeah I cant lie I'm not sold on the Switch either....
After a week or so with the Series X... My distinct impression is it'll mostly collect dust for the next year. I wouldn't be in a rush unless there are Xbox franchises you're particularly keen to play.
Great post
Fair enough. You should get your money back. You should be able to sell it and not lose anything at all.
Pretty sure I could sell it on for more than I paid
Don't think I will though, I'll end up buying one a year from now anyways, and I did the gamepass 3 months for a dollar already. It's not that I won't get any use out of it, just that there's enough to play elsewhere to keep me busy until the 1st party lineup starts to flesh out. And the back-compat features haven't been quite as enjoyable for me as I'd hoped.I'm sure there's loads of gems on gamepass you haven't already played. Just gotta dig them out.Pretty sure I could sell it on for more than I paid
truthfully the disappointing part of gamepass thus far is the lack of older games I've already played. Just doesn't seem to have the selection that I was hoping for. Like someone else on here said earlier, I should have checked the lists of whats available/supported more closely. It's a crazy deal of course, but a bit less so for me personally.
What sort of games were you after? We might be able to give recommendations for similar ones
Specifically, KOTOR I + 2, the Prince of Persia trilogy, some of the old LOTR games like Two Towers, ROTK, The Third Age, Def Jam, SSX Tricky. Just games I used to love as a kid. Had an idea in my head that the Series X would be a nice nostalgia box until some of its heavy hitters release. Most of what I want to play though a) isn't on gamepass, and b) isn't back-compat supported. The back-compat support from X360 on seems great, but I've played remasters of many of those games already (Bioshock, Mass Effect, the Ezio ACs etc)
The most first world of first world problems to have, I'll manage somehow.
It’s the best console of this generation and the GP library currently and for the upcoming 6 months looks ridiculous.
What's coming in the next 6 months?
The series X is not that big, so it'll fit nicely in your space.
GamePass is the best reason to get one. Especially, if you've been out of the Xbox ecosystem. So, much 1st party content to catch up on.
Rumour has it if you mention gamepass in the Xbox thread all the xboxers will appear within minutes.
November has High on Life, Persona 5, Scorn, new Plague Tale game, there is Commandos 3 remake before, sometime during Q4 probably Somerville, Gunfire Reborn, maybe Wo Long or Flintlock. Then a ton of games at the beginning of next year. I’m sure they will pop up with many good older games too like they’ve consistently done over the last months, probably RE Village, maybe some of the RE remakes. They will also throw Deathloop onto GP in Q4. There’s going to be a ton of stuff.
My sub ran out last week. I'll probably re sub later in the year.
This is looking really good. I loved the first game and this looks like a decent upgrade.
Didn't know they announced July's games or I'd have posted.
Torchlight is another repeat: https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2019/07/30/games-with-gold-august-2019/
What's going on with those who stacked game pass ultimate?
What do you mean?
We're all having the times of our lives
I just set Fifa 22 off to download so probably not in for a great time
Played it last night against some friends and found it surprisingly good. It's slower than most FIFAs and defending is actually effective this year if you do it right (aka jockey don't press).
Edit - We were playing with 4 star teams so I can't speak for what it's like as PSG, Liverpool etc.
Read MS are moving everyone who done the trick back down to the proper level. Not banning people, but making them pay the difference if they want ultimate. I'll try finding the story again.
