rand, get a day one disc of cyberpunk, and install on an Xbox without wifi, without installing any updates, and then try it. you'll see how unfinished it was lol
I am in Gamepass ultimate since day one anouncement. Gamepass for console tier didn't make any sense because it didn't have online and that tier was in middle without online
Of course cyberpunk is amazing Rand! It became my fav game of all time after I played this year on PC dethroning witcher 3, night city is the best open world city ever created in a video game + the combat is fantastic.
I don't understand the no console needed. The people they advertising to don't care about the console anyway. So to say no console doesn't mean anything because the console isn't stopping them from gaming anyway. But everyone hears that . Sets a mindset
It is a clarification in case they are confused. MS is likely targeting young kids and parents, especially those who are traveling. Those who want a secondary or tertiary device on another TV, too.
Rand, I understand your metaphor where console base is the “wife” and cloud gaming is the “mistress/ young, hot girl” .. but I have to say, it doesn’t quite work bc that’s assuming Microsoft’s intention was to always remain loyal to the console base no matter what. The reality is that, as a business, Microsoft has a fiduciary duty to grow profits. To make your metaphor work, you’d have to say that Microsoft made a promise to its “wife” that they’re in an open relationship from the start of the marriage lol
Rand al No Sources, predicting things flawlessly. We're onto you~! Good show fam. I do think it's possible for the Handheld to have an external disc drive style, maybe even a dock or add on to the dock. It's just extra money they can monetize and no need to sell it in the box too. Peripherals is good money and the handheld is an opportunity to have quite a bit sold for profit too. There is also a new disc technology in the works in Shanghai if I'm remembering right, that has way more storage than any Blu-ray or hot swappable drive.
2:52:25 Jez is right and somehow Rand fails to understand that ,even worse if they market HB3 as another walking sim it would bomb beyond return. People don't want short walking sims ,the numbers don't lie.
All the new series s cfb 25 players now wont feel bad leaving ps4 with the cod on it since they now get the most recent one and yhe next one so quickly. All the ones left will leave once they hear its a cheap price and they get all their old duty games and play the new cfb game
Also on PC game pass is cheaper because we dont get the best Multiplayer experience. If you get on a game and 500,000 people are playing on steam but only 50 people are playing on PC game pass you can tell. Especially with warhammer 3 and such
I subscribe to gamepass mostly for my kids. They wany to play Peppa, bluey, minnecraft, paw patrol and similar such games. Save money to not have to buy each one individually because alot of the time they play a gamebforba week andnget tired of it then i can buy the few that they really like and want to ro keep. As for myself i play a lot of indie shooters and roguelike games which the service has a lot.
@@EpicScreenReviewsin what way? All he said is nobody likes paying for more, but if a companies value goes up, the price usually does too. Doesn’t sound like much of a defense. More of a statement of life buddy
A lot of services do go up agreed. But have those said how sustainable they were repeatedly like Xbox? Are they backed the richest company in the world out here making 80 bil acquisitions? Did they tell the CMA they wouldn't raise prices after an acquisition? So maybe if they getting treated a bit different it's kinda justified. lol
I think the prob people have with xbox is not just the moving to other sceens its the lack of push for the console and the console customers. When taco bell started selling chicken wings they didn't have commercials saying come taco bell don't have to buy tacos come get wings lol. Xbox not doing that. They say no console that the main problem
@@Frogdoddofficial they don't have to mention the console at all . Just advertise the service on the fire stick. What's the point of saying no console needed. Those people don't care about a console anyway . Not like they saying oh I don't need a console now imma get it . 😐
@spectrexr1 yeah but the commercial highlighted the exact reason why you do need to add the tagline "no console needed". People are going to assume you still need an xbox in order to stream on the firestick. This is exactly the case with playstation. In order to play day1 games and stream or remote play or use the portal, you literally need to own a ps5. Explicitly stating you don't need an xbox clarifys things.i will say it does make it a tad less clear why normies would want or need a legit console.
The price hike isn't a big deal at all, anyone with common sense, should understand that with all the games u get to play from all the studios xbox has and also the ea play games as well. The $19.99 price is very very fair, if u use logic.
What games? There has been 1 first party game in the last 10 months and it was 5 hours long. They have like 40 studios and they always seem to have droughts. It’s unacceptable
UA-camrs are expecting too much from COD in Game Pass, this isn't the COD from the the 360 or PS days, Xbox aren't allowed any exclusives, the only thing that will happen is, they'll lose sales on Xbox.
Playstation got way more backlash when they had there price hike then xbox. Xbox dared to raise again less then a year later. They deserve it cause given us nothing since then
What I don't get is why they don't fix first what we have now. The thing I love about Xbox is ease of use vs. my old PC gaming days while being able to play and party chat (with awesome quality) with all my buddies across PC and Xbox One+Series. Now when I'm travelling, party chat on Android is just broken: it outputs sound through bluetooth earphones and headsets but takes the mic input strictly from the phone's mic instead of any bluetooth devices'. Unusable. Coming from playing and chatting with friends, the whole fire TV/Samsung TV thing falls apart quickly, as in order to really play with friends, you still need either PC or the console. Also 20 € on console vs 12 € on PC is weird. As a console user, I feel a bit bullied by MS. And there is really NO reason to charge us double: for the games AND for online gaming. We need parity, a 12 € Console GP that features the same as the PC one does, incl. online gaming.

I am in Gamepass ultimate since day one anouncement. Gamepass for console tier didn't make any sense because it didn't have online and that tier was in middle without online
I don't know how or where, but I want to hear more about Rand's life.
I played it early on and it was so good still, just crashed sometimes but no quest breaking things. Need to get back to it for another run with DLC
Of course cyberpunk is amazing Rand! It became my fav game of all time after I played this year on PC dethroning witcher 3, night city is the best open world city ever created in a video game + the combat is fantastic.
Regarding cyberpunk it was great on one x or above , was just too much on last gen , got a bad showing in media because of it .
🤣🤣🤣 another Gold show.
Best in the business!
Have a good weekend.
I have always been a GamePass ultimate subscriber. If you go you go all the way.
Best none party games I've played this year on game pass is far cry 5 and 6 tomb raider trilogy mortals of aviam still wakes the deep 👍

UA-cam Premium is definitely the most valuable subscription for me

3:11:00 - You click on a picture of a banana and it multiples the banana. That's it.
Jez is spot on about Hellblade 3. They need to Gamify it a lot more if they want the next game to sell.

❤ this show.
Rand confirms Halo ODST online game
STOP THE CAP! 🙄
The parasocial relationship Xbox has with its content creators is wild
He is the man with the million, thousands of dollars invested into the xbox ecosystem, ofc he will have relation at this point.
It's amazing the depths Rand goes to defend Xbox every episode. It's like his brain can't handle anything else.
@EpicScreenReviews I mean yeah, but he has gone out and called them out before, but I get what you're saying
Yes Sony’s non relationships with their content creators is much better….
@@EpicScreenReviewsin what way? All he said is nobody likes paying for more, but if a companies value goes up, the price usually does too. Doesn’t sound like much of a defense. More of a statement of life buddy
All the youtubers act like they forget that xbox got no backlash for there last price hike
Fanboys gonna fanboy.
xBoX tAx iS rEaL!
*their
Rand must of had a bad experience with a surfer dude 😂
I.couldnt even finish the cyberpunk dlc.. I loved the main game. In my top 7 of all time. I think I was burnt out from the main
Excuses excises excuses 😂😂😂

So should they lie and say you do need a console?

"trump got hit with a rock" Jez spreading the information he wanted to hear but not whats true. Love liberals
The price hike isn't a big deal at all, anyone with common sense, should understand that with all the games u get to play from all the studios xbox has and also the ea play games as well. The $19.99 price is very very fair, if u use logic.
Logic would tell you that everyone’s circumstances are different. Some people would be fine with the price hike and others would not.
What games? There has been 1 first party game in the last 10 months and it was 5 hours long. They have like 40 studios and they always seem to have droughts. It’s unacceptable
Pray for Trump
Why?
No
That shit only benefits Trump. Pray for the family who actually lost a life.
@MetalGear69 a family who Trump still hasn't reached out to

Everyone forgets about the last price hike literally no1 cared for xbox. They deserve it for this one
