Xbox Game Studios Stupidity Hate Thread Game Pass Edition

[Pissmaster]

It's actually the opposite. If doing it is easy, it shouldn't be an achievement. It's all of these achievements that are given away for just playing the game that aren't actually achievements.

Never forget, it's just a fucking number. You could just not do it if it's too hard or annoying.

Caring about achievements beyond something that looks fun to do in a game you already like is gay. Too many games have impossible achievements from either servers shutting down or unpatched bugs for the whole system to ever be worth taking seriously. Not to mention, sorting your games by % of achievements earned just makes an arbitrary list that's not really indicative of anything.

The only achievements I ever cared about were in XBLA games. They didn't have as many so they didn't feel as padded out and they were usually fun. I'm not going to 100% fucking Mass Effect but I would absolutely go for 100% in Lumines or BF1943 or other fun XBLA games where most achievements are completed by playing normally and a couple of them are novelty "trick" achievements that are fun to attempt.

 

[The Last Stand]

I love achievements that have the description change after achieving it. The achievement system was Xbox's best innovation in the gaming industry.

 

[Cod of War]

I love achievements like RDR's "Dastardly" where the devs anticipate something the player might do.

 

[Asian tech support]

The only kind of achievements I like are the ones from 99 cent steam games that give you a bunch of characters so you can write nigger on your profile.

Physical media collectors feel insulted by Xbox Game Pass ad​

Microsoft has released a short advertisement for the Xbox Game Pass which seems to put down physical media (and by extension those who collect it).

The ad is only a short 9 second snippet which compares life to before and after Xbox Game Pass. In the before, we see firsthand through someone’s eyes as they flip through their thick album of Xbox CDs with a classic Xbox sitting on the table. Subdued music plays during this part.

The scene then transitions to someone enjoying Xbox Game Pass and flipping through a digital list of games available through the service.

The ad encouraged a response from Twitter users who took offense to the ad’s jab at physical media collectors. In recent years, the trend towards digital licensing in lieu of physical ownership has sparked a worthwhile discussion on the benefits of owning physical copies of games; especially since Xbox removes games from the service regularly.

Other users pointed out that there’s nothing stopping people from collecting physical media and enjoying Xbox Game Pass at the same time, citing the convenience of being able to try indie games or other games they were unsure about before committing to a purchase.

Supposedly leaked tables with the prices Cucksoft pays to put shitty slop on GamePass:




9 digits for some unremarkable games. No wonder devs don't give a flying fuck anymore. Daddy Cucksoft will pay for the production of your slop no problem.

Lol, the industry really thinks Suicide Squad is going to be one of the biggest games of the year.

>opens up binder
>literally the first four games you would pull out of an Xbox clearance bin
>they aren't even available on game pass

Not a great ad. It's just begging to be one-upped by a chad with an Xbox with a big hard drive full of games, or someone showcasing enormous emulator libraries with Xemu and Xenia. Plus, the original Xbox is very old now, it's an icon of nostalgia.

"Games man" peak mentality is just burning money on thoughtless acquisitions and crappy Game Pass collaborations, dude legitimately believes a bunch of lukewarm takes on gaming is propping up his career, almost a decade later and there is less than half-dozen successful games released under the Xbox banner during his administration.
Only reason he still the Head of Xbox is because some autist from 4chan decided to sell his Lego Java game to him.

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

It's crazy that Zenimax apparently thought that Starfield would be out by 2021, and planned on the Indiana Jones game and an Oblivion remaster to be out by 2022.

I wonder if they were just really optimistic or if they flat out lied to get the sale through.

Fucking knew it, Gamepass was just going to be the get out jail free card for retard developers and their shitty games. Who needs to worry about how people really feel about my game “Gay Men Suckin Fat Ones” because daddy Phil wrote me that sweet Gamepass check!

Another inevitable price increase for the service that provides like 2 worthwhile games per year and dozens of "simulators":

Very likely the unannounced japanese game was retroactively announced on the leak.

Ehh, Xbox is still considered a failure in Japan, and they did try to co-produce games for that country with mixed results, such as Sneakers, and look how that turned out

 

[Raging Capybara]

It's fine, guys. Someone needs to give Suicide Squad a quarter of a billion dollars.

 

[Sparky Lurker]

Another amazing acquisition showing its skills:

https://gameranx.com/updates/id/477276/article/state-of-decay-3-might-not-release-until-2027/

However, today, we’re finding a new potential leak. A new discovery was made on Art Station under Nora Shramek, the lighting lead and techartist for Undead Labs. The profile unveiled that they are working on the State of Decay 3, with the game slated to release in 2027. That has fans surprised this installment might still be several years away.

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

A zombie game taking a decade to come out? Who could have guessed?

Microsoft is funneling ESG money. They're woke even for tech, which is why you see goyslop funded.

No great games are going out on Gamepass, not until a few years after release. The new releases are garbage. Exhibit 1:

Venba is a narrative cooking game where you play as an Indian mom who immigrates to Canada with her family in the 1980s. Players will cook various dishes and restore lost recipes, hold branching conversations and explore in this story about family, love, loss and more.

Cook Mouth Watering Dishes
Venba's recipe book gets damaged when she moves to Canada. Restore the lost recipes to cook delicious, mouth-watering dishes that serve as a connection to the home left behind.

Explore, Converse, Experience
Get to know the family well, hold branching conversations, and explore as you face the challenges that arise from day to day life.

Gamepass, at least for me, is like something a mother would get her son at a thrift store for Christmas because she doesn't know what to give him or she just hates him
