Why make games when you can make controllers?

So is anything new/different? Or is it just available again?

No new controller hardware.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Kinda cool. Sucks that you can't use any hex code for colors nor change the font of the text.
this meme needs to die, MS has put out many more games than Sony so it really doesnt work anymore.

Sadly, Chinese 3rd party controllers are a lot better than standard Xbox controllers these days.

Yeah, what's the fucking point of taking it down if you didn't improve it in literally any way at all?

Microsoft actually released more games than Sony on their own hardware, lol

Quantity doesn't mean shit when the quality is mid at best.

That is purely subjective. I can name at least 10 very good to great games they have released this gen.
Oh, can you now customize the paint jobs for special edition game controllers? Good.
It's a good sign that it's back; it means there's a future plan to maintain Design Lab. But the truth is, I thought its return would coincide with the announcement or unveiling of the rumored new controller. It's clear that this new controller, when it arrives, will do so alongside the Xbox Next, and that's when Design Lab will have another rebirth.

It's easy for microsoft to release a bunch of games people when they bought 2 publishers and multiple other studios out. Why do people always fail to mention that fact.

Glad they didn't kill it. One of the unique features of the Xbox platform tbh.

They released FH5 which is good but tied for the worst in the series. Pentiment is cool. Doom The Dark Ages is fine.

I used to love Xbox controllers, but they are constantly disconnecting during gameplay sessions even when using the Xbox Controller USB dongle.
Any alternative brands to use that don't have this issue?
Fuck Bluetooth.

It's just joke.
To your point though, the MS games even do better on Sony platforms than Sony games.

Xbox doesn't have games, but when they do they're mid, and when they hit PlayStation no one has a reason to buy an Xbox anymore.

I picked up an 8Bitdo wired Ultimate during the Amazon Prime days sale as a spare and it's quickly become my primary controller. The wire is the only negative but I don't sit 10+ feet away from my screen.
As much as I'd love a custom base Xbox controller - or even one of the Pulse translucent ones - I find it difficult to spend that kind of coin when I can get two 8Bitdo Ultimates for the same price (or less).

8bitdo just announced their first wireless Xbox controller the other day. Unfortunately it's in a disgusting Rare color scheme, but I'm sure it will have other colors soon.
It seems like a mix of the Ultimate and the regular controllers as it doesn't have the extra bumpers, but has the charging dock, and back buttons.

Seriously, are there more customization options? I get there are more skins and designs, but nothing that would have required the service being down for half a year to add.
see now you are just trying too hard making it very obvious, 5/10 for the effort tho.

No, they haven't, but engaging with that would also be engaging with list wars, so not happening.

It's a great idea, I wish Sony and especially Nintendo would do the same.

That's not what it is at all. I just genuinely don't think that Xbox's output this gen has been good at all. Same can be said for PlayStation as well. Sony has the benefit of "2nd party" games like Stellar Blade and Death Stranding 2.
- We got Series S/X ports of some great and some not great games like MCC and Sea of Thieves but then also shit like Gears 5.
- Halo Infishit
- I have hundreds of hours in every Forza Horizon game but 5 is mediocre. The setting is boring and a similar setting was done much better in 3. All of the showcases are copy and pasted from previous titles but done worse. The characters are some of the most annoying and infuriating characters I can think of.
- I know stuff like Pentiment and Grounded have fans but I am so uninterested in them I forget they exist.
- Psychonauts is so fucking ugly you couldn't pay me to play either of them.
- Forza Motorsport basically killed the franchise and is by far the worst in the entire series (Motorsport and Horizon combined) by quite a bit.
- Hellblade II is boring as fuck
- Avowed was boring.
- Starfield was shit.
- Hi-Fi Rush is cool but not for me.
- Indiana Jones was fine but not nearly as good as some people seemed to think it was.
- South of Midnight excelled in art, and characters (music sounds good but is poorly written) but the gameplay is so brain dead boring it's not worth slogging through it (when you have a toggle to skip combat entirely that means your combat is shit and tacked on).
- Doom the Dark Ages is fine. I didn't like it enough to pay for it and I refunded it on Steam. I'll get back to it because I like Doom but in no way worth $70. 2016 is still the best in this new "series".
- Call of Duty has been shit for more then a decade outside of maybe MW2019, and the remasters of old games.

You can try a USB 2.0 extender adapter cable for the dongle. USB 3.0 frequency interferes with controllers on PC badly. Other than that, get the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 the only thing you lose compared to the official Xbox and dongle is the head phone jack but it works great and it has 2.4G.

There's subjective and then there's 'the fuck?' subjective. This is the latter.

This is the first time I have heard this. Interestingly I do have a 2.0 extender on my living room dongle and I pretty much never get disconnects.

No Core controller designs allowed? No fun.
Also just make it like personalised credit cards where you can upload an image an have it screen printed on the controller.
