I was sure Hellblade II: Ragnarok Killer would get a pre-Christmas 2023 release date.
Yeah, his word.
The word 'reconciles' is spoiler territory. It's not explicit but come on man it's not even been a week. You have been privileged to play and complete the game but not everybody has had the money or the time to play it. Allow a grace period for the masses.
Redfall says 'hi'.
This season is lacking a big name title but just wait until next year when MS Studios has dropped multiple hits.

Edit.
Some people on N4G, Twitter and other online spaces have referred to Phil Spencer as a used car salesman in a derogatory description to refer to him making attractive marketing claims for games and then not delivering on them. This was thought to be part of the debate between different fan communities however THIS precise issue has been called out by the UK's CMA. Specifically it has referenced Starfield which was originally touted as being kept on PlayStation and then ultimately Microso...
This is being positioned as an Xbox exclusive alternative to Horizon Forbidden West.
Q) Can Ark 2 be a Horizon Forbidden West killer?
👍🏿= Yes
👎🏿= No
God of War (2018) is not the 'penultimate' (second to last) episode because Sony's Cory Balrog has said/hinted that more is coming after Ragnarok. The more appropriate word would've been 'previous'.

PlayStation getting a small 2 hour Hogwarts DLC is so anti-competitive that I’m going to kick up a massive fuss the same way I did with the Destiny items. I will get all my friends in the media to signal boost the cause. This is why it’s a good thing that Microsoft will eventually make Call of Duty a true exclusive.
So even though the PS5 has had a price rise in the U.K. and is more EXPENSIVE than the Xbox Series X, and people were complaining about the price difference, if you use standby it’s actually CHEAPER over one year. Over the course of six years PS5 is £360 cheaper than Xbox Series X. Where is the mob with their pitchforks now?! 😆
TV, TV, TV. It's at the heart of Xbox's vision for the future. Yes Microsoft has said it is developing another Xbox console, but the longterm plan is for the TV app to replace the Xbox console.
Xbox said: "Xbox believes its TV app with Samsung – and no doubt future partnership – will be crucial in making streaming video games via the cloud a mainstream pastime."
Cloud-only Xbox is better for the environment and it means the expensive ou...
VGC's was the website that was celebrating the game before release because it wasn't 'punching down'. It turns out Jordan Middler virtual signalling how he's a progressive reporter reporting on a socially conscious game doesn't actually make up for substandard gameplay and substandard reporting.
VGC quote: "How did the team deal with the changing sensibility in terms of content and jokes? There are obviously some elements of previous Saints Row ...

@Tacoboto: “How is this a disagreeable comment?”
It’s not! But some people from all sides are so caught up with the format wars they come in to a story about the opposing brand to downvote any positive comment. The behaviour is transparent, I haven’t thought about it before but maybe the downvote should go.
Here's another lesson in biased 'journalism' 101 by Chris Scullion. Microsoft has a shortage of Xbox controllers, it means they're selling well but ultimately it's a negative story. When a blogger uses the word 'confirm' in the headline it means they want to present it as positive - but this is overstepping the mark from reporting and actually becomes Microsoft PR. Chris Scullion has let down VGC.
@ABizzel1 Until i came across this story on Twitter a day ago I didn't know that a bonobo is an endangered ape, I don't find it a stretch that someone at Microsoft is as ignorant on the topic of them as me. However why give the nameplate a vague name and not call it Juneteenth from the start?
'Boss Factory'? More like WOKE Factory. I'm all for giving people as many options on how to customise their character but the promotion of this game seems to be focused on this and not gameplay. It seems the publishers are deliberately trying to court certain vocal people in the games media so that the game can receive praise and higher scores for its diverse character generator. It reminds me of the praise adorned on Cyberpunk 2077 because of allowing you to play as a woman with ...
I'm not taking anything away from that statistic but it does need to be contextualised. There are at least 25 million subscribers to Xbox Game Pass which means 20% of users have chosen not to download and play the game they have free access to. So 80% of Game Pass users playing it is good right? Well, the more revealing figure is the Mode Average playtime because it would indicate if all those 20 million have played it for many hours and if they still play it today, or whether they tried ...
@Tody_ZA Some people want the convenience of digital and a special edition boxed set- however it's too financially risky for the publisher to make box sets for each platform especially as it cannot predict which will sell the most. It might be that it orders 50% Xbox and 50% PlayStation special editions but then one format outsells the other so it's left with wasted stock. This is a way to offer the best of both worlds. Although it would be good if you could order the game to come wit...
