Oh, you’re right, I think I confused the Play Anywhere as a native install. The “xbox os” is just a streamlined windows os

My understanding was that the xbox rog will actually play native Xbox installs. At least that’s what I think the new “Xbox os” is capable of that will be on it, and eventually other devices.

Insanity. Hey, let’s spend 400+ million on a franchise IP, and then expect player numbers to beat the last 3 combined.

Oh, you didn’t hit the target? Guess we gotta close the studio.

I totally get what you’re saying, but using steam numbers to judge how active an Xbox game is not fair. Steam isn’t the native player base. It’s far more active on console and still draws solid numbers.
I do agree with the grind being a bit much on the latest, though.

Forza is bread and butter for Microsoft, just like Halo and Gears. They really are shooting themselves in the foot with this. Forza originally got me on Xbox, and to be honest, it is a huge reason I am still on it as my main console.

Gatekeeping gaming brands, are we?

How dare I, a middle-aged person, enjoy Zelda, Mario, Splatoon, Donkey Kong etc.

Didn’t Cruz actually push this? Didn’t even vote for his own bill lol

It’s so hard to describe the game without making it sound boring. There are very tense parts, there are very quiet parts, there are lengths of time when you don’t do much, but the weirdness pulls you back in.

I will say, the first one got the weird going quick, the 2nd one takes a bit to get to the weird parts. Watch some streams and see if it does anything for you. I absolutely loved the first one, and it’s one of the very few games I have played multiple times.
