Number of things need to be done.

Firstly, I looked at Xbox Wire, which is where Xbox posts its news, Xbox Wire only has 339k followers compared to Xbox US's 19.9m, Xbox UK's 940k, Xbox Game Pass's 1.4m and PC Game Pass's 508k. The place where Xbox posts their news for some reason has a significant amount less followers than even Game Pass PC.

Makes me think that they should just close the Xbox Wire Twitter and post their news directly through the Xbox Twitter. Look at how PlayStation does it, they have PlayStation blog, which is where they post their news, but they post it directly through their Twitter accounts. I don't think RTs are enough, especially when RTs can be turned off, I feel like Xbox Twitter has more RTs than tweets, but Sony/Nintendo have more tweets than RTs.

Secondly, they have to align better with Bethesda, I know that they're technically separate divisions and whatnot and Bethesda does their own marketing without input from Xbox but how hard would it be to simply give each other a heads up? When Bethesda drops a new trailer for something, all Xbox channels (Twitter/YouTube/Insta) should be posting it as well at exactly the same time, not hours after Bethesda.

The way they currently do it feels disconnected and like Bethesda isn't even apart of Xbox, I think unity is important for the brand and they need to be more in sync. Especially when I don't really consider Bethesda to have good marketing either.

Then they need to actually market their damn games, it's so bad that Pentiment doesn't have a single tweet by Xbox's twitter account, only RTs. I don't think this is a case of saving budget on marketing or "Game Pass means less marketing" because it's something so basic and of little cost, a simple few Tweets about Pentiment will cost nothing.

They also need to do more video events I think to showcase titles, they need to copy the Nintendo Direct style of events, especially starting in 2023. Just saying again, look at how Sony and Nintendo will promote something, even if it's some random ass timed exclusive, every single PlayStation Twitter will post about it at once and it feels like a genuine attempt to push something, Xbox feels like they just toss stuff out and hope for the best.

Also, hire Klobrille already.



The fact we don't got a monthly video series like the other two do is honestly baffling at this point. Hell, we don't even got a yearly event outside of whatever shit is wearing E3s corpse that year. MS gotta do significantly better at this.

About to start the final infiltration of the Casino Palace, around 60hrs into the game. I have fast forwarded alot of talking as I'm not someone who cares for the story in video games and excessive talking but the actual gameplay loop is great, easily kept my attention so far.

We're pretty close then. I just finished the Casino heist earlier today.

I'm not fast forwarding anything though which is why my save file sits at 70 hours.
Other than defeating the reaper in Mementos, I also got every non story related achievement.
From now on, the only objective I try to accomplish during free time is building my harem ;)

I technically beat Persona 5, now doing the royale part. Must say everything before Casino was a mix between boring an fine story wise but after the Casino part it gets good.

Is it “breaking” if it’s just a rumor? Lol can’t wait either though!! 



Just so I'm covering my bases: I'm running another comment lotto in my two most recent reviews.  If interested in winning an Xbox digital copy of Outer Wilds: Archaeologist Edition, just leave a comment in either (or both).  2 opportunities to win this time.  (Only able to gift to other NA/US xbox accounts)

Awful Multiplayer and I didn't like the art-style for the Covenant/Chief nor how linear the Campaign itself was but Imo it had a really great story, the relationship between Chief and Cortana and the more mature themes, actually giving Chief more than 2 lines of personality. What could have been if Halo 5 didn't decide to abandon the story, Lol. At least Halo Wars 2/Infinite are back on the right track, but I want Didact back.

One of my most memorable moments across Halo is on the Requiem level, walking out of the cave for the first time, seeing Requiem and the beautiful song starts playing at the same time as you see these gigantic Forerunner constructions floating in the sky, and how beautiful the game was, that lighting was amazing. Halo 4 did a good job at showing the wonder of the Forerunners.
