Cries in Destiny 2 fan It certainly was, and it certainly still should be.

I’m not even sure where I’d start because Xbox needs a lot of work, but I do agree with @bittersweet , Halo has to be the first priority. It’s the flagship franchise of the console; it sits in one of the most popular genres (FPS), and unlike Call of Duty, Halo doesn’t really have a direct AAA...

I can play Arknights Endfield for a few hours at a time. I think I've pulled a few 4-hour sessions with it. I do use a controller, as using touch controls is not something I would enjoy for that long. Now, I generally use Samsung DeX to just play it on a gaming setup with my normal monitor...

They do make stick-on ones, but they don't really make cleaning all that much easier, as you still need to flip the laptop over and clean off the filters by hand, since they are stuck to the frame. Ya... it is better than 5 screws to pop off the bottom, but it still needs me to pull the laptop...

It used to be a huge part of my PC setup to have a case with built-in dust filters. But the last two PC I have used have been laptops, as my job has had me away from home most days. With the plastic bottoms and feet, I haven't found a good filter to toss on.

Ya, our list of stores was about the same. Although Sears was pretty high on the list locally. Our Walmart used to have a pretty big game area; all the consoles were set up to play, and they had a few aisles of games. I think we got lucky, as the Super Center was built at the prime of physical...

I feel like the evidence to support this is all around us. GameStop is far from thriving; most big-box stores have pushed games to little corners in the electronics sections, and at least for my local area, all the smaller game stores are closed. You wouldn't be selling this if sales were...

My personal home theater setup works very well with my Xbox as it supports HDMI pass though, but I don't assume everyone has my setup or the money for a standard AV receiver. Many people run powered speakers or run through a sub and/or cheaper audio amps with great results. Our home gym setup...

Overall, I don’t own a PlayStation to boycott it, and while I do like seeing players push back, I honestly doubt it’s going to move the needle much. As @Grungie pointed out, most internet boycotts get shared everywhere, but only a tiny fraction of people actually participate. And this one is...

I agree HDMI is better, but a lot of gaming sound systems, gaming headsets, bookshelf speakers, amps, etc. don't have HDMI pass-through, and optical is the easiest fallback without much reduction in audio quality. If they are going to push their console as the center of your home entertainment...

Honestly, Xbox really does need to step up their feature game. Power is fine, but the platform feels bare compared to what it could be. We’ve lost Kinect, we never got any VR support, racing sim accessories are extremely limited, and third‑party integrations are almost nonexistent. Even basic...

I’m honestly torn on whether this will end up being good or bad. On one hand, I think it’s a smart move; most people don’t want to subscribe to a cloud gaming service just to “try it,” so they never do, and the whole thing struggles to grow. Removing the cost barrier at least gives the service a...
