    People will hate regardless of quality. Indiana Jones was a commercial and critical success but people gave Xbox shit because it's going to PS5. You can't win against irrational folk.
    After what happened with "Hi-Fi Rush" I can’t trust in anything published by MS being an actual commercial success anymore.
    At least Hi - Fi Rush and Tango Gameworks found a new home at Krafton, and being saved from getting closed. I can't say the same about other, games and studios *cough* Concord and Firewalk Studios *cough*.
    And look at all games, that are getting canceled at playstation.
    I didn't saw this many games canceled, neither at XBOX or Nintendo.
    No wonder that Jim *Crying Lying* Ryan wanted cod staying on ps so bad, because they are too incompetent, at playstation studios to make multiplayer games, let alone one multiplayer game.
    Speaking of Indiana Jones, it deserved to get hated and ignored, for exactly the reason you said.
    And if it get ignored in ps5 also, and maybe leads to layoffs, it will be the fault of those who make decisions like this.
    And i don't wish anyone to lose it's job.
    How can it be, that playstation first party games, don't get released on XBOX Series X/S, but Microsoft gives away games like Sea of Thieves, Hi - Fi Rush, Doom the Dark Ages and COD to ps5 ????
    Yeah, we can't say the same about other studios...studios like Arcade Austin, Alpha Dog games and roundhouse games are still shut down...cough...redfall...cough.
    You see studios shut down on both ends...deal with it...and move on...
    Did those studios developed a game, for 8 years just to get closed within 8 days ????
    I don't think so.
    And as far as i know Roundhouse Games, was merged with Zenimax Online.
    So at least some people kept their jobs, who worked at Roundhouse Games before.
    Speaking of Redfall i can still play this game, regardless of the studio closure.
    I can't say the same about Concord and Firewalk.
    Well, we all know why firewalk was closed down it was because of concord...
    But...do we know why Xbox decided to close tango gameworks down (who by the way won many game awards).
    I am wondering do u believe Phil Spencer, Sarah Bond or Matt Booty...the three stooges of Microsoft...with their non answered bs corpo pr saleman talk...about how they decided to shut down tango gameworks.. because I don't roll
    Matt Booty
    ^ https://www.thegamer.com/arkane-austin-wanted-to-pitch-disho...
    Sarah Bond(dodges the question) look at 4 minute mark through 5 minute 14 seconds
    ^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIpc8VZ3Bnw&t=909s
    Phil Spencer 8:40 through 10:28
    ^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIpMhthwnto&t=842s
    And about multiplayer games isn't Gran Turismo a multiplayer game, isn't helldiver's 2 a multiplayer game...wow...that's two multiplayer games...whoa...playstation studios is so incompetent... roll

    I mean was Microsoft closing down of Lionhead Studios and Press Play...was that justified...
    ^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhEn5q93z-A
    because microsoft even said closing lionhead studios was a mistake...
    ^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plnJW2_MWIE

    Like I said before studios close down...Deal with it and move on...It happens...

    I'm confused what you mean. Are you referencing them shutting down Tango? I agree studio closures are bad, hope we see less going forward.
    After claiming the game was a commercial success, yes.
    the truth is, we really don't know why tango was going to be closed initially, so people think it was a money thing while they said before it was a commercial successful, but it can be another reason

    now talking about Indy, it seems was successful enough to lucasfilm wanting more games of this ip

    Personally, my genre are strategy and simulation/management (Civ, colony builders), would like to see more on Xbox Games pass from those genres. Since I'm not an action game player, the offerings are a bit thin for me (and people like me). Yes there are some games on Games Pass from my genres, but it's not the large buffet of games for me that it is for action gamers. Am considering dropping out of Xbox Games pass, though I can it is a great value for those who like action games, for me it's not such a great value.

    Not interested in any of these. Since my Ultimate ended, I only purchased Core to play multiplayer, and haven't been this happy as a gamer since quite some time. Sure, it's nice to check out the newest, biggest hits, but most of these are average at best. Taking care of my backlog and playing actual good games like Planescape: Torment, Far Cry 3 or other bangers is much much more fun than playing another new "AAAA" uninspired slop.
    Gotta keep moving

    Yep. And on non-Xbox forums like Reddit people hated on the game simply because it is MS owned. I regularly see straight up misinformation on places like the banjo kazooie subreddit because their blind hatred of the Xbox platform outweighs any desire to actually know information.

    Avowed is one I might be interested in trying out sometime if I am out of other games currently taking more priority. But think Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is getting added to that priority list :p
    Notice: Thank you for noticing this notice. I have noticed your noticing and shall notify those of note.

    The only 1 of these that interest me is clair obscure expedition 33. Add dragon quest 3 hd2d remake, or other turn based jrpgs, then it may interest me more.
