Curious, but are there other games that play better from the MS Store or Xbox App compared to the Steam version?
Evil Within kinda got a definitive edition on MS Store version.
The Exchange | Halo Infinite CU32
<p>Customizing your personal Spartan has long been a core component of Halo Infinite, and as we look ahead to our next update, we’re excited to share details of a brand-new system that will give players more agency over earned customization content.</p>
Even when things rotate out of the Exchange, they will still be purchase-able through the customization menu.
Also completing your first Daily Challenge will award 250 SP (no more XP).
yeah im mostly curious if the second daily game will still reward sizeable xp...The Exchange | Halo Infinite CU32

sounding promising so far.
Bummer. I was kinda falling off the game but still doing my daily. If the pass moves along at a 🐌 pace, I think it will be time to hang up the helmet.The Exchange | Halo Infinite CU32

Gonna see how quickly it progresses first.
Dang. I have a second controller for my wife, so I guess I'll try that one. Thanks for letting me know about the Quick Resume bug. I'll keep that in mind.
Why do people think Blizzard is making a Starcraft game? I've seen some people say it with total conviction today. Is it just blind hope?
It is confusing to me as well yeah, Elden Ring came in at just over 70 hours for me, otherwise I'm pretty dead on with HLTB, I'm having a hard time imagining it being under 20 hours.
I don't disagree that I like short games, but I don't expect soulslikes to be short, and honestly 25 hours isn't that bad. That's a good length to me, I can finish that in like a month or two.

Heh, there are certainly lots of opportunities to do that. I'm sure once Shattered Space comes around I'll be back on my bullshit.
I agree. Now if Avowed can nail the quest design and writing of Pillars/Deadfire, I think they will have something really special on their hands. Got inspired to play Deadfire after the DD and was super impressed with that game. I think I liked it more than PoE 1.
i'm more curious about march's NPD. the sales in the US are pretty much the same after the third party games, and i'm curious how march went. january was up YoY and Feb was down but that was expected since the banned transphobe game came out last feb
although we'll get a general idea with earnings too. curious to see their expectations for the next 3 months.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if March is down for Xbox YoY too, not just the terf game that launched last Feb but also Helldivers launched in late February on PlayStation this year as well. Not even mentioning that all three platform holders are getting to a point where growth is limited from here on out in the generation.
Honestly I don't think that the first batch of third party games will make any real impact on hardware one way or the other. Pentiment and Hi-Fi Rush were too small to be relevant, Grounded is in kind of a middle ground and Sea of Thieves is a massive multiplayer game and not so much a system seller.
Sheeeit, it took me three hours to get past the first boss (I guess there was some wandering around the hotel afterwards). I find it hard to believe that that is 1/7 of how long it would take me to finish the game.
I get the feeling that Fallout 76 is going to hit a new high CCU this weekend on Steam. On PC Game Pass, it's the 5th most popular game (behind the usual suspects) and on console Game Pass it's the 7th most popular. Also slightly less relevant but it's the #1 Trending game on PC Game Pass as well. Also I find it funny how all of the Fallout games on PC Game Pass except for Tactics are now trending because of the show.
Also, I think it's interesting that Grounded is so high up on the trending, it looks like the multiplatform release has been pretty kind to it's numbers on Xbox/PC lmao

i think grounded going up, besides the multiplatform release, also has to do with the new update that added new game+ and a lot more to the game
Even the doom posting about games being ported was better than this stuff… goddamn AI/spam bots infecting this sacred OT
Yeah report that account. I would not click the link if I were you. Anyway I'm off to bed. Let me know if the robots take over while I'm gone.
I really wish Xbox would add a button to install the game with all the dlc that I own. So frustrating having to install them one by one when a game has lots of dlc.
Got a question.
I have the xbox wireless headphones and two semi broken normal headphones. I kinda want to replace the normal headphones with a new pair (looking at the mx4/5) but also want to use it for hb2.
Question (obviously subjective) is how big is the gap between the xbox wireless headphones and something like the mx4/5 for gaming? Do you have any other recommendations?

Just looked at the changes coming to Infinite next week, particularly on the shop side with "The Exchange". Are people happy with it?
This just screams to me as yet another way to hide the fact that they don't have enough content to even sustain their 6-weeks operations, and to offer less new things for free.
They're essentially replacing some items from the operations passes with Spartan Points, so first of all we notice that there are less new content/items in these free passes.
And spartan points mostly allow players to earn things that were free that they missed (with just a couple of brand new things just to make it look right), which means those are mostly older items.
And on top of that, you don't win XP anymore for the daily and ultimate challenges, making the operations passes harder to do (longer). Which means it'll be a good bit before you can have enough Spartan Points to win the couple of items you might have missed a year ago.
And also, no ultimate reward anymore? So one less new free item avalaible.
Now, don't get me wrong, I know that they can't sustain it any better (and there are some good stuff on the sides like the Forge additions, but let's be honest, it's too late at this point), but that's precisely it: at this point, who would really blame them if they just stopped supporting this game? I'd 100% prefer hearing officially that they're full steam ahead on the next game - even if it's 5 years away - with a full workforce than see them squeeze more and more time and money from the remaining players (and I'm one of them).

I really doubt that would prevent them from renewing shows. It's business as usual until the acquisition goes through.
Also, it may not even go through, and if it does, these things take a long time.
The new releases are marketing at the end of the day. People who haven't played on Xbox, either at all or in a while, will see it coming to other platforms and think "hey I should check that out" especially if their friends on those platforms can now play. Plus, there was a new update with lots of new content.
Played a lot of Sea of Thieves in the past couple of days with friends.
This game is still really unique. And breathtaking too. 👌🏻 I'll soon try the Monkey Island stuff.
Oh how I wish they'd make a single-player story driven PVE spin off... With just a revamped combat system and better characters.

I have used the Arctis 7X since 2020, maybe even earlier. I like them a lot. Prior to that I was using the Astro A40TR+mixamp (they were pretty good but for all the wires). I think from a sound profile using your own high end cans is probably the cheapest option. Obviously you are limited on chat options but that's not something you need for HB2.
