you're saying this against the biggest game of the YEAR.
Starfield.
Nothing stops this ship. Nothing. No Spiderman no Zeldaman no Stalkerman.
ohhhh another preview event? cool stuff. the game looks really nice.
Man, I would much prefer it being October or late September because it was going to be that one PS5 game I was going to pre-order. No way will I be done with Starfield then. It's a BGS game so I could easily put hundreds of hours into it first month. At least Spider-Man 2 will be shorter so it's much easier to get out of the way, so maybe I'd play it before my second (full) Starfield playthrough. I guess we'll see. Thankfully I will be off work for a full 3 weeks starting the week Starfield comes out.
People dont actually play games here, they just consume review and sales threads like locusts.
Petition to change the OT to "Xbox Game Studios & Bethesda Softworks Marketing and PR" so as to eliminate any ambiguity.
Comparing a sci-fi RPG to a superhero action game alone is ludicrous, not to mention they're on two separate platforms. The debate as to which will do better is just a lazy way to bring about hot takes and needless arguments.
I just went to launch a game on the cloud and got told "Lots of people are playing! Wait time is about 3 minutes" so don't worry guys, business is booming right now!
For real though, first time I've had that come up.

I think its only one person gone crazy
Spider-men are temporary, Starfield is forever.
Is the latter is anything like Skyrim then Tom Holland will be 60 before we see the last remaster it (for the time being...)
It'll l be fine.
That said, where is Xbox when it comes to marketing? I know it's 100% anecdotal, but as someone who subscribes to Xbox-centric YouTube channels, and only ocassionally seeks out Nintendo (Directs) and random clips from State of Plays, I can't tell you the last time I've seen an Xbox+Bethesda anything as an ad. Genuinely. I could watch every official Xbox-posted trailer and I would still have more YouTube time spent watching the first 5-seconds of whatever those recent Fire Emblem and Kirby games are.

You're not the bad guy, you're just too invested. It's Ryan McCaffrey "Xbox's presence at the Game Awards was a slap in the face" Syndrome.
Sometimes folks just need to take a step back and realize they're in too deep. This is one of those times
only to be met with.... "that's it? I thought it would be higher because of game pass" 😂
nice setupJust shamelessly sharing my new mug with you all, please pretend nothing happened.
The console war threads are really funny though. Twitter is a bit more fun because I dont get banned for bait posts though. Here im betting my account so I can post "Spidercels seething over Starchads" when Starfield scores half a percent more in metacritic.
that's funny as fuck tho. i'd find a comment for the inverse amusing too tho
I forgot to mention the update for the Xbox version of The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition is now live. Haven't tried it yet and I'm very curious, since the game is a technical mess on all platforms.
Thanks ^_^
Thanks ^_^
It does sometimes feel like people expect every user to try all 400 games on Game Pass every month, so they'll all have 25 million players every month. Sure, any specific game is free once you've payed for the subscription, but they're all free. All 400 or so games on the service.
If every player played one game every month and were divided equally amongst the games, you'd have something like 25 million divided by 400 = around 62000 players per game. Even if every player played three games every month, you'd still be below 200000 players per game on average in a month.
I'm a huge Souls fan and I still haven't gotten around to Wo Long. It's free, because I've already payed the $5/month Ultimate cost, but all the games on the service are free. That makes it very easy to get distracted by another game and once you get into another game, you might not want to interrupt that playthrough just because something else releases.
Thank you for the clarification. The message is still coming up but if this has been an issue before, I'm not going to worry about it as no action had been taken. Thanks to everyone for the help.
When you get your marketing budget cut it's typically for paid ads like YT for example. That stuff costs tons of money and when we heard that Xbox marketing division got some budget restrictions I bet it would be for those.
If I wanted to punch a low level street criminal 20 times to defeat them I'll play somethings besides Spider-man.
(come on game companies, Spider-man has super human strength)

parris is a busy bee. Dunno when he's allowed to share impressions but xcast should have redfall impressions and maybe Minecraft legends?? Or maybe next week. Idk. Very cool

How I feel talking about my Minecraft Legends excitement in this thread.
