This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

Msoft really shot themselves in the foot with the ‘feature parity’ demand for x/s. It’s caused devs a huge headache and kept infinite campaign split screen off of the series x.

As a dev, I agree with this comment. Feature parity really hinders the iteration and patching speed.

[–] Goronmon@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

But is that dev headache worse than if you didn't have feature parity with X/S models, where games would have different features depending on which console you owned?

I think if you are going to have X/S type models, feature parity is something you just have to require, even if it causes headaches. The result for the customer would be much worse otherwise.

It's disappointing that MS would be so stubborn about parity that they would pass an entire launch window for such a huge game. I haven't seen this much hype for a western RPG since Mass Effect 3 over a decade ago.

I feel like Xbox is always two steps forward, one step back.
