Gears 3 was great in both campaign and multiplayer. Gears 2 is also great if only for the campaign.

Gears 5 is a good game if you only want to play chapter 1....

January through March were terrible, but April and May look good.

Gears of War Ultimate Edition was not translated. This Gears of War: Reloaded will have Japanese subtitles; the original Gears of War on Xbox 360 is dubbed in Japanese.

Conclusion: Xbox 360 version is still the best in our region.

I bought it on release day, but haven't played it at all, because FM7 is much more fun. But maybe I'll touch it again, just a little...

They removed Japanese language support for Gears of War Ultimate.

Once again I am reminded that Halo 3 music is the best. Those were good times...

Xbox units are not really in stock outside of the US. The decline in hardware sales is understandable since you can't buy a console that you have no intention of selling.

The concept is a great one and I like it very much. However, durability is an area that really needs to be looked at.

I don't really want to disassemble a premium product and change parts to repair it.

Personally, I enjoy using this convenient service, but I also feel that it is not Microsoft that can succeed.

They are extremely poor at expanding globally and their perception of entertainment is often out of sync with the masses.

I am glad to be able to play Oblivion again as Avowed was postponed to August in my area!
I had bought the Premium Edition of Avowed, but I probably won't play Avowed anymore ...

Now that Avowed's translation has suddenly been delayed for six months, I fear that it will be 2026 before I can play The Outer Worlds 2.

There are many IPs that I love at Microsoft, but it seems to me that until Microsoft gets its creativity back, it should not dabble too much in areas such as movies.

Halo had so many influences that it is safe to say there is no FPS in the modern era that has not been influenced by Halo.
There is hardly one that does not employ things like automatic health recovery and a two weapon limit.

It was a mistake to close a large number of studios and treat the games as if they were not axed.

I would have welcomed it if they had focused on entertainment while keeping the games as strong as the Xbox 360.

Halo Infinite definitely cost a lot of money and was a huge flop. Otherwise, the 343 executives would not have been fired en masse.

I would like to see them consider cross play, etc. starting after the new Halo reboot. (If you're asking me what I can expect from Halo Studios right now, I'd say no...)

The Xbox 360 library is great and I still play my Xbox 360 for just that.

There were so few games translated that I hardly played any of them...

March is already over since Avowed suddenly announced in February that it would add more languages to be supported in a month's time and then postponed it.

Here's hoping for the best.

We removed a large number of big-name games and added a few indies and in-house titles.

Most of the recently added titles are not translated, and Microsoft is clearly neglecting some regions.

They decided not to include Japanese and Korean just before the release, and secretly said they would add them in an update a month later. There were no guarantees for those who bought the Early Access rights.

And a month later, no further news.

Most of those games are not translated and can only be played in English-speaking countries.

More than half of this month's Game Pass titles are not available in Japanese.

Reminds me of how cheap Recore was.

Perhaps Microsoft doesn't think it will sell that well. Because this game is clearly not meant to sell games.

Super Duper Graphics
Raytracing (Xbox Series X|S)

Yes, we can trust them.

Monster Hunter: World was released on Xbox in Japan last year. It was simply sold as a carryover bonus for Monster Hunter: Wilds, and there was no way it could sell well.

The input method used in RandnetDD and the Nintendo 64/GameCube versions of Animal Crossing was the fastest way to input commands using a game controller.

@everynowandben It would be a cheat in a competitive game ...

If you look at Game Pass Ultimate, 10 games are removed and 4 are added...

I used to like UBISOFT games, but now I am not interested in them. So I don't think it is a good deal.

In recent months, we have clearly seen a decrease in game pass budgets with games leaving and games being added to the game pass.

The future of Xbox Game Pass is overwhelmingly lacking in casual games.

Games like Just Dance, Rayman, and Rabbids appear to be needed. (If only Microsoft would budget for Crush Bandicoot and Banjo...)

I keep waiting for an update to add languages!

I don't have a gym near my house, so when I exercise, I sometimes play with the Xbox 360 Kinect. Of course, Ring Fit Adventure on Switch is another option, but it is not a replacement for Kinect.

We need ideas like Sega's SEAMAN to fake the macabre.

Community content only?

They no longer stock the Xbox Series X|S properly outside of the US and no longer have sales.

It is no wonder that there are rumors of withdrawal in some regions.
Of course, Microsoft may be trying to make up for it with the next generation consoles, but the customers who left here may not come back.

Starfield appears to have lost its creative freedom due to the contemporary political context, and the world is not as vibrant as it could be.
I prefer savage worlds like Skyrim.

Every time a new video or information comes out, people talk about how far removed from Japanese history and culture it is!

This game is far less true to Japanese culture than fantasies like Ninja Gaiden or Naruto ...

The Yakuza series has been missing every time and next month.

Since games like “Baldur's Gate 3” are not available in our country's stores, changing regions is a must.
First of all, Microsoft should improve from there.

@dskatter Sure, you can buy the games you like.
But I feel Game Pass is becoming less and less appealing.

Unattractive characters. Constellation members who seem to be into cults. Game content that does not mesh well with all elements.

There are many aspects of the game that could be portrayed attractively, but somehow everything is clouded.

It would be a different story if a large number of players remained in the Gears 5 multiplayer.
But the reality is that there are not that many people left in Gears of War PvP.
I especially liked the multiplayer in Gears of War 3, but if it doesn't keep players for a long time, maybe it doesn't need to be implemented.

Have you added any more Japanese IPs to replace the Yakuza Series yet? Not a very good title right now to recommend a game pass to a friend...

I miss the days when I had to play Platinum Games' past titles in order to enjoy this game.

Xbox Series X|S doesn't look like even Microsoft has been interested in selling it for the past few years.
Low inventory, no publicity, no buzz.

The five studios left in the Xbox One era - 343 Industries, Turn 10, Rare ltd, The Coalition, and Mojang - appear to be mostly non-functional except for Mojang.

Only the acquired studios are functioning.

@Astig Probably underpowered, even if it is a cloud.
Xbox Cloud Gaming on the Xbox Series X|S is of lower quality than playing on a PC or iPad.

Please stop removing Yakuza all together.
At least one title at a time, please.
It is painful to play this large collection of titles all together.

I have played the series with male characters and would like to play with men.

Add remote play to gather. I want to play local games with my friends.
