Gotta admit, the Xbox app on PC has gotten MUCH better over the course of just a few months whereas before it would take like 6 months to a year to get any sort of meaningful update. The ability to choose installation folders, access game files, and even the new layout of the app itself is fantastic.

I wonder if Phil finally used his leverage to get things going?

I really like the app on PC. I'm at a point where I wished everything could be migrated from Steam to the Xbox App.

I do wonder if that'll ever happen. Seeing that Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo are now on Epic Games Store, I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. Especially since Bethesda is migrating from Bethesda Launcher to Steam which is really curious.

Perhaps Xbox wants the PC app to be in the best possible state it can be in before going solo? Because Steam still rules the PC market with an iron fist and the Xbox app is nowhere near feature complete as Steam.

You forget that the MP is done by a totally separate studio so no they are not struggling to come up with new content at the same time they are working on Forge and Co-op.  

What I see all the time is to much caring and not enough playing.  I will admit, I do not have that kind of fanboism in me.  I left it behind a long time ago.  I do not care about buzz, hype or any of those things.  I do not care about missing features I barely or rarely use.  As I have always stated, for the singleplayer I only care about the experience and the game delivered.  Yeah, I could easily have waited until those features were added but then again, 343 made the smart decision and released the Singleplayer instead because those features were not essential to that part of the game.

Oh they clearly aren't struggling with either.. I don't even know what to say dude :D 

 Yeah yeah I get it, in your head you're above other gamers, I mean fanboys, who care. You've made this clear many times already.

Anyway, there's plenty of valid points made why there's so much disappointment in Infinite and how it could've been avoided. You're just too smug to see it. No point discussing it further. 

Context is king, but then again, I could have phrased it better.

Do not take me wrong here, I am just not a fan of any corporation so I am not invested in whether MS, Sony or even Nintendo screw up or not.  I have all the consoles and I have plenty of games to play at any one time.

Also I am not saying there isn't disappointment in how 343 has handled Halo while you seem to be vocal in your disappointment just remember there are people who have no issues.  There is barely any game that does not have people who either believe its the best thing ever or crap.  Its not a question of me being smug, I just do not see it your way.

Final Fantasy Origin... so mid. I don't know why I got this day one. Definitely all for Sony buying SE, maybe then SE can be put in line. SE just been releasing so many subpar games as of late.

We're outselling the PS5 this week. Still a bit shocking to see considering it happened for all of 1 week in the 8th gen I think lol.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Watched Episode 2 of Halo yesterday. I continue to enjoy it. One part might annoy some, but I just find it really fun to watch. Writing was better in the 2nd episode imo.

Seems like a massive shipment or 2 lately... While Sony is struggling at the same time.

A global melee damage decrease of 10% on all weapons will require the Mangler to land two shots and a beatdown for a kill

Completely unnecessary change for sure. With the mangler's slow fire rate leading to fairly long TTK, and the slow moving, downward arcing projectiles leading to frequent missed shots, getting kills with the actual projectiles of the mangler is pretty rare, it's main redeeming feature was it's one shot + melee combo. Requiring 2 shots plus melee will lower the TTK so much that an assault rifle enemy might take down enough of your shields to finish you with a melee before you can even hit them with 2 mangler shots. 

You just gotta do the combo in reverse, and with a headshot. I imagine that'll still work.

Doesn't this work with most other weapons too though? Or do they nerf melee so it doesn't destroy the shield with one hit?
