@KilloWertz I agree with everything you just posted, which must be a first.

Which of course includes you being a moron.

How much do you all think the Xbox is still suffering from its extremely dumb and confusing name? Three years on and while everybody says PS5, it's like people are ashamed to say Xbox Series X in public (I know I am)

@Kidfried The naming has been atrocious since the 360, it beggars belief what on earth the boardroom idiots were thinking. I say ‘Series X’ incidentally, if I do have to reference the console.

@KilloWertz I don't disagree that Redfall is Disappointing and its not just the 'state' of the game at launch — which to be 'fair' is generally inherent in UE4 games this Generation. Its as bad as Star Wars: Jedi Survivor but I'd say it is better than Gotham Knights. As for the Game-play, the story, the style etc, those are all somewhat 'subjective' but overall, it has missed the mark.

However, I do object to the fact that the 'only' games that bring 'value' to Game Pass are the big AAA Exclusives. Whilst the idea of playing ALL first party games — regardless of whether they are 'smaller' passion projects (like Pentiment) or major AAA next Gen Exclusives (like Flight Sim) is a major attraction, the promise of at least 1 'big' AAA a 'quarter' from MS (their words), you can't deny that all the other Games add 'value'.

To say Game Pass is 'only' for Casuals is also completely wrong. Gamers don't just stick to their 'favourite' IP/Genre, they play 'everything' — excited by some Indies as much as any AAA games. You are 'not' stupid/moronic for paying $70 if you feel that its worth it to you but in terms of 'Value' that is the 'worst' — just to be amongst some of the first to play
