Might as well get it started. Who's looking forward to it? I personally think that it could beat PS5, that is if they don't screw up. They need a basic UI, more first party titles, and focus only on gaming. They own the license to Rare games, we need to see new Conkers, Perfect Dark, Banjo Kazooie, etc. They did alright with Killer Instinct, I'll give them that, but they're sitting on a lot of games that needs remade, remastered, and sequels.
As far as I know, it's slightly more powerful than the PS5, which isn't a big deal. But what is a big deal is that it will come with more storage. XBSX will have 1TB, which I admit, is not much by today's standards. The PS5 will have 825GB, which is ridiculous. I'm guessing that the next gen games will be around 100gb or more in size on average. If that is the case, I expect the discs will be on 4k UHD blu-rays.

Holy god, i took a little nibble of an edible yesterday afternoon and played that Hot Wheels game for like 4 hours yesterday.
Wow, i am hooked. I really like that the campaign is challenging, some of those races are NOT EASY.
I really like that you're able to sell back or scrap cars you get in the loot boxes, i wish more games would do that.
ALSO, WOW, the soundtrack is amazing. I don't know if its an original score or they got unknown licensed tracks, but its a great mix of funk, electronic, dubstep and trance.
Ignore the bad reviews and download that when you get a chance.

Those edibles hit different than the real thing. I thought half of my head was gone after eating 2 of the delta 8. My wife tried to argue that I still I had a full head.

Here's the new set of games leaving GP at the end on the month: Alien: Isolation, Octopath Traveler, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, Crown Trick, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Far: Changing Tides, and Madden NFL 21
Good riddance to Far, that game was boring and crap.

These are leaving GP on March 15th:
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy -- Console and PC
Undertale -- Console
Young Souls -- Console and PC
Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition -- Console and PC
Goat Simulator -- Console
F1 2020 -- Console
Zero Escape: The Nonary Games -- Console and PC
Paradise Killer -- Console and PC
GotG is a solid game especially if you like 80's nostalgia and music. I will be looking to complete KRzero that I started in January.

I'll echo too that GotG was a really fun game for what it is and the music tracks were pretty stellar.

They also added F1 2022 today. And man, since EA bought Code Masters, this franchise just keeps getting worse.

I'll be honest even before the EA buyout the yearly updates were generally not much more than Madden. At least they have to add new tracks when they race st new places.
And I think they added the microtransaction currency "pitcoins" thing prior to the EA buyout.
I still get the games, just later and cheap.

Has anyone played Kentucky Route Zero? I was curious about that one but the price was always higher than I wanted to pay. I forgot about it being on Game Pass until now.

I played it on PC when it came out. It's a very good story and its weird and Twin Peaks/X-Files esque. I really dig the graphics and music.

There's definitely something about to happen with a new console. With the Verizon offer yesterday and they stopped selling at the employee store... There has to be news about a refresh/mid gen upgrade, something.

Thanks! I think I might try to beat this before it leaves Game Pass then.

Maybe a digital only X. Seems like the logical next step.

@Bleed_DukeBlue Kentucky Route Zero was alright so far, there's 5 main chapters that I believe are somewhat connected and somewhat not. I completed the first 2 in 4+ hours, I think. It's a point-click style adventure that's got lots of dialogue to read. The story was different, as said I think I'll seek to finish it since it's interesting and not challenging.

Hope not, i want to get a disc X when they go down in price a little.
I'm running out of ways to watch my physical media.
A brand new quality Blu-Ray player is like $150 now.
I remember when they were like $50ish, fudging chip shortage.

$220 for a controller seems unreal to me
Says the guy with a logitech force feedback wheel and pedals to play racing games

Bean gets to make use of his employee perks. What's the cost with the discount? If it's 50%, I think it's worth it.
