I doubt Microsoft would advertise Dirt 5 very much if a similar Forza Horizon 5 would be "on the horizon" the same month.

Finally, the Green Cities DLC for Cities: Skylines is now free on Xbox.

Uhh I hate Facebook but im not surprised.



I feel like the odd man out on all these streaming platforms. I really couldn't care less about watching other people play games. The only time I'll ever engage with any of it is in a case like TLOU2, where I'm curious to see what all the fuss is about, but have absolutely no intention of actually playing it myself. Outside of a few cases like that every now and again, the whole thing just doesn't interest me in the slightest.

Either I'm playing games myself, or I'm watching actual high quality content in the form of shows or movies (of which there's not exactly a short supply these days). What's the appeal of watching someone play games while they make a bunch of exaggerated expressions, noises, and pause constantly to look at dumbass questions from their chat and/or shout out the people who are for some reason paying them to continue to do so? I can't think of many worse uses for time and money.



Good riddance I say. Not like Sony has their own streaming platform. So it’s not like Xbox lost a distinct advantage, they just trimmed the fat. Whatever happens with Facebook I’m sure it’ll be better then what they had before. Concentrate on Xcloud.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Yeah I don't understand this stuff either. I sometimes check some short Gears of War multiplayer montages or something but I've no interest in watching streamers.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Speaking of Facebook, they just acquired Ready at Dawn.

Wow Wtf, I guess that they saw VR as their future. I thought that they would have been a good target for MS because they still had potential as a AAA studio. At least they are also a potential target gone for Sony as well.

I might hop back in to State of Decay 2 once the easier mode is added, on my Xbox Series X for the short load times. I was playing on normal, and doing quite well for 10+ hours (except for one bitchy person in my community who was bringing community morale down by getting into fights alot), but I took one of my best guys out on a combat mission to destroy a horde, but the horde was ridiculously big, with like 5 or 6 of the zombies that call more zombies by yelling, and so many showed up that I literally got trapped against a wall, couldn't get to my car to escape, and he died. I was kind of pissed so I quit, lol.

I stopped taking followers all together since 2 of mine died, one was during a mission where we got overrun by a horde of Zombies and the second was a community member that suggested we take out a group hostile survivors so i took her with me there to fight and it turns out that one of them had a gas grenade launcher and stunned locked her to death, I was scared at that moment because I didn’t even realize what happened and it was my first encounter with that weapon, my character almost died too.

Otherwise the game on normal isn’t very hard imo
