[Services to track the games you own/play]

I Know about backlogged but I never for once considered using it though maybe because I don't play a lot of video games simultaneously.

There are others like backlogged too but they aren't as popular either.

[Should all sports games jump to a live service model?]

It could work that way but I don't think that would be as profitable to the game company as to when you have an entirely new game out on a yearly basis.

Though I Know some are just repetitive with nothing new added to it but these game companies are all in this for profit.

[Games without bosses]

It depends on the genre of video game you intend to play, for most sports video games like FIFA, grab Turismo, Moto Gp they don't have bosses in them you only get to play in the multiplayer mode against other players.

[How Much Do You Value Your Save Data?]

I only save important files , documents or whatever so if I lost them at some point it's going to be really devastating which is the more reason I always have my files backed up on another hard drive.

I've watched a friend stream house flipper. It seems like a relaxing game. I've also looked into power wash simulator in the past. 😛

I actually enjoyed playing the power was simulator , it was quite hilarious and the characters too.

Did you play the power wash simulator or you just watched streams of it.

I have been suspended in the past on Xbox Live for a few days for something I said to someone in a message but that is about it in my case. In terms of knowing someone who has been banned from Xbox Live I do know someone who I used to game with back in 2008-2009 who was banned from Xbox Live due to something he said to someone that was very harsh and I cannot repeat here. I will say he did deserve the ban, but I feel that the person on the receiving end should have also been punished in some way for what they said but it didn't seem to happen. He eventually made a new account and just went from there.

I haven't had my account banned or suspended though and for most times I don't even engage in conversations with other gamers on the platform though I would respond if someone sends me a direct message.

[Will the SSD hard drives cost a lot?]

On 10/30/2022 at 9:05 PM, Shortie said:

My sons all have an Xbox Series S and they would love to be able to get more storage for their consoles but at the moment, no matter how much I have looked, there only seems to be the really expensive ones done by Seagate that are available and at the moment I am not seeing anything third party for these consoles. It's a shame as so many people are unable to spend as much as Seagate want for the SSD and you are pretty limited to what you can get at the moment. I can only hope that we see third party more affordable SSDs in time. I would have thought there would be by now unless I have missed something and there is something?

They are becoming more expensive now because they have introduced SSD card with higher memory space in terabytes.

You could just go for one now and later you could get one each for the boys if it's entirely a necessity you have a SSD card.

[What is your favorite game on Xbox?]

On 10/29/2022 at 6:27 PM, Shortie said:

My most favorite game for Xbox would without a doubt be Halo 3. I remember getting Halo 3 not long after I got my Xbox 360, and I was hooked pretty much right away. I played through the campaign on all difficulties so many times and I spent months playing the multiplayer with friends I had met through the years playing different games on Xbox. If I had to choose another game on Xbox that is my favorite, Gears of War would be a very close second. It's another game I can spend a chunk of time on and not get bored easily and it's a great franchise.

I enjoyed playing Halo 3 can't imagine I haven't played another halo game in such a long time.

Which other halo game off the franchise would you suggest I play.

[Do you have any story game suggestions?]

On 10/29/2022 at 2:25 PM, Akun said:

Detroit: Become Human. *peeks at my avatar* 😆

If you're into visual novels, I could certainly recommend some since they're definitely very story-centric (as long as you could stand reading and have butt loads of time).

Let's not forget the Mass Effect trilogy of course. If you don't mind indie games, I'll also recommend Spiritfarer. Bring tissues for the latter.

I actually played Detroit:become human a few months ago though I was a bit reluctant but finally decided to give it a try.

It was fun for most part and the story develops quite well maybe the ending wasn't so great but it was worth it.

[Xbox Cloud Services]

On 10/31/2022 at 12:20 PM, Empire said:

With Cloud gaming on console you can try a game before installing. So say you wanted to play a large game, instead of having to download it you can just play it straight away. Then again WIth furture thigns are you can do that to PC also now with Game ready baordcast 

I haven't tried this before, playing games on cloud before proceeding to install it on your console.

How does it work exactly so I can do that when I am a bit impatient to have the video game installed first.

[Sea of Thieves]

I have watched a few game play video of sea of thieves and I like the pirates themed game and design.

Though I haven't played it personally but I feel it would definitely be worth your time if you intend to get into it.

[XBOX - What is one thing that you like about the XBOX?]

I just enjoy the Xbox controller it has a completely different feel from other controller designs.

And Xbox exclusives are fun though some are eventually available on other platforms some week or months after they are released.

[Disk cannot be read]

Yeah, I experienced it once event I was trying to install the program for my new wireless controller on my PC, but it was later sorted out.

[Favourite Xbox 360 game?]

That would certainly be GTA sahandres , I did play this game on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 2.

I would also go for elder scrolls franchise.

[Do you like the design of the Xbox Series X?]

On 10/31/2022 at 4:58 PM, Shortie said:

I love the design, but I guess I am one of the more biased ones with me being a huge Xbox fan. I know Venon have released a stand for the Xbox Series X that allow you to have it stood and you have an LED light on the stand and that looks absolutely awesome from what I have seen. I at the moment do not own one of the newer generation consoles but I am hoping to get an Xbox Series X when I can afford to and I will definitely snap up the stand as well as I think that would look cool with my setup. I have to agree though it does look like a mini fridge and the fact that Microsoft and Xbox took that and used it to release a mini fridge I feel was awesome! 

I don't see anything wrong in the design simplicity is exotic and that's what the Xbox series X is, it looks simple but has this exotic feel since they aren't really easy to find and purchase.

[Trial codes]

Xbox doesn't give out trial codes anymore or maybe it's been long I used one but anyways you can get subscriptions via the Xbox website which you can use to access the Xbox live gold membership account and get your subscriptions made there.

[Cooling your Xbox Platform]

I have an electric fan which I use along side the air conditioners so the fan is usually pointed towards where I place my Console, tv and other gadgets to aid cooling as well when I use them.

[Xbox One X - Your TV]

I have the Xbox series X at the moment and I use a Hisense 52' smart TV and it is very exciting the game on because of the size of the screen and it accepts 4k display.

[Xbox Live Service]

The Xbox live service has been really stable for most part , I haven't had times when I couldn't access my live service account it could take a few extra minutes to load up but that's just about it.

[Radio Stations]

On 11/10/2022 at 12:58 PM, Empire said:

I always loved the talk radio stations in every GTA. The shit they talk about on those stations always cracks me up. Chatterbox for life. And LCHC was badass.

I would certainly start to pay more attention to whatever is going on in the radio when I play GTA.

Most times I am just cut up in the game play and completely didn't pay attention to any other thing.

[How much longer will Xbox 360 be supported]

On 11/12/2022 at 8:48 PM, Shortie said:

They turned off the Halo servers on the Xbox 360 so I would think other games will follow if they haven't already. I would guess by 2024 the Xbox 360 servers will be pretty dead as the Xbox One line of consoles will be 11 years old by then and the Xbox 360 will be nearly 20.

That quite a long time and they have done their bit to the world of gaming and it's only natural we move on to newer versions though.

I would still play videogames on Xbox 360 even if it is no longer supported.

[Is there really any point in a Series X over a Series S?]

On 11/12/2022 at 8:50 PM, Shortie said:

I think so. The games I play now, specifically Fortnite are getting heavier and more advanced, using unreal engine 5 now, it lags a lot on my aging Xbox One X, so yes, I do believe there is definitely a need for the Series S & X. I wish I could afford an X right now.  As stated above, the Xbox Series X outperforms the S, if you have an Xbox One, One S or One X, the Series S will outperform those, the Series X will out perform the Series S, so it's a significant upgrade, in my opinion.

Yeah, I have used a few past generation Xbox consoles and also been opportuned to game on the Xbox series X and imo there's actually a significant upgrade and functions that the series X has over other previous generation Xbox consoles.

[Are you okay with Xbox not selling as much as the PS5?]

On 11/12/2022 at 8:56 PM, Shortie said:

It doesn't bother me.  Microsoft's main focus is Game Pass. They don't care how many Series S or X's they sell. They want lots of Game Pass subcriptions. I will always prefer xbox consoles over Playstation though, but how many Microsoft sells doesn't matter to me, as long as they keep making consoles. 🙂 I don't think Microsoft is worried though, they lose money on every console they sell to begin with, but still push them out, like I said, they make their bulk of revenue from Game Pass & software sales.

The still make a lot of sales but only comparing the sales of Xbox series X and PlayStation 5 is what makes it look like it's so bad and Xbox aren't doing well.

They might now have sold as much as the PlayStation but they made a good number of sales and make profit.

[Halo Co-op]

I did a halo co-op run a few months back with a few of my friends and we played Halo infinite.

I haven't done a co-op since then and I haven't even had the time to do another one with my friends.

[What’s Xbox One’s game of the generation?]

On 11/12/2022 at 8:53 PM, Shortie said:

I would say probably Fortnite!  It was different and it's still being played today on the Series line of Xbox.   I also really enjoyed Titanfall & Titanfall 2 though. 🙂

Fortnite could be nominated though it's available on other platforms other than the Xbox one.

Which video game exclusive on Xbox one would you say is Xbox one game of the generation.

Mine is elder scrolls.
