Being an Xbox fan in 2025

I can't really see why you'd like Xbox past 2013. Have they produced a game that's remotely good or culturally relevant since Reach and Gears 3? PS games have become more formulaic, but they at least they have lasting impact and consistent quality. Maybe one could argue Bethesda's games.

Neither Gears of War 3 or Halo Reach are culturally relevant.

And I'd argue Starfield was the last big Xbox exclusive title.

Arrogantly dismissing other fans opinions with the predictable "It's fine" routine…Let's be honest here, in doing that, it's hardly a fucking glowing endorsement is it? And now look at it.

Punished Miku Punished Miku , what's the reason you haven't migrated to PC gaming? I know you're not a fan of Microsoft's devaluing of their consoles, but I'm genuinely curious if there is something that would make you leave the Xbox ecosystem while still retaining the ability to use Game Pass and play Xbox titles.

My Xbox still works. When I see the new AMD machines I'll either get that or a PC.
 
You either gotta be a masochist, living off youtube superchats, or refusing to get a PC.

I have a PS5 that collects dust (recently been on Ghost 2 though) a switch and switch 2 a monster PC

and my xbox gets the most time.

Probably my eco system since all my friends are also primarily since like 04….

However. Still the best to me.

Either or I don't get the weird hate for it.

It's weird, huh? MS may be blundering all over the shop, fully deserving the flak directed at them, but at the end of the day xbox is still a great console with a large user base, and could still be a great competitor in the market. To be actively cheering for its demise - yeah, weird. 🤷‍♂️

Next gen will be interesting for me. I'm fully prepared to switch to PS if MS can't convince me they have long term plans for the Xbox future, and that my digital library will remain playable. Well, that and the fact that the PS6 will have to be styled a bit more to my taste!
 
Funny. I like the shelf in the background nice touch. The appeal to their wealth is silly though, because it is business not charity.
They aren't mutually exclusive, despite what society would have you believe. Cutting people slack is a great way to achieve brand loyalty, which is worth its weight in gold - and then some. Wal-Mart owned through the '90s because of their generous-to-the-customers policies, such as its relatively easy return process and (now-canceled) price-matching initiatives.

I do think as a business you don't go around saying we made 5 billion, but we are raising prices. Because 5 bil seems like a lot to earn in a single division. Feels like there is room to earn less.

Microsoft as a company - and not merely its Xbox division - behaves in the most ridiculous manner. It sort of defies all explanation. The only thing that makes sense is that there's some sort of sharp downturn in IQs behind-the-scenes. Their decisions are absolutely full-on stupid.

Thumping their chests while simultaneously taking massive L's shows a frankly staggering lack of self-awareness.
 
Is pain. I had every Xbox since the og and gave up in 2020 getting myself a PS5 instead. Which also is FUBAR like the whole current gen console gaming
 
I would still be an Xbox fan if I had assurances regarding future platforms and honoring my library. I don't feel confident with that anymore and I stopped feeling confident the moment they went third party.
I'm part of the problem, this generation I no longer have a library… I just use Gamepass.

But if the next console would have XSX, XB1, 360, OG Xbox backwards-compatibility while still having access to PC stores it would no doubt be an interesting product.

Yea it's personal for you somehow 😂. Def weirdo vibes.
 
Why would you play those games? Ninja Gaiden 4 I can understand but I see no point in buying essentially the worst version in Xbox. But the others? Do you play your games based on if they are released by a corporation you shill?
Dude, you have lost it.

One retarded take after another.

Keeper is from Double Fine. Been playing their games since decades.

You mean since 2019 when Microsoft bought them. Your posts don't make it seem like you are a OG Xbox fan. Regardless if its good I will get it on Steam. This will probably also release on PS5 and look better their.

Not an OG xbox fan.

Following Obsidian, id soft, Double Fine etc.

Also whats up with constant belittling of graphics on Xbox console?

Looks like someone pissed in your cereals.
 
MS's genius marketing plan.

1. Make everyone love Xbox ( Xbox, Xbox 360)
2. Slowly convert users over to game pass ( Xbox one, Xbox series start )
3. Make everyone hate Xbox and game pass . ( now )
4. ?
5. profit
 
The only Xbox I ever owned was 360 and mostly because of its exlusive JRPGs but as soon as they stopped releasing games I like, I sold it off.
 
I see that a few are really getting off making disparaging remarks about people who enjoy their Xbox. I can't comprehend the level of insecurity one must have to be driven to be so needlessly mean to another who enjoys the same hobby as you, all because they play on a different platform.

Edit: to be clear, I'm not referring to those just stating that they don't like Xbox. That's a rational statement. I'm referring to the ones claiming it's some sort of mental defect to enjoy your Xbox while not having a hate boner towards the brand.

It's pretty easy to comprehend. Just look at the PS5 this gen. Imagine if that was your whole identity.
