Honestly, as much flak the guy received, I kinda miss Ballmer's antics every once in a while. Microsoft is in a great place now, though.
IDKW but i have a hunch that Phil would get along with Ballmer easily...

The official order( according to the artbook that came with kh3 deluxe edition) the play order is
Movie: kh back cover
Game: kh birth by sleep
Game: kh1
Game+movie: kh Re:chain of memories and 358/2 days( played concurrently according to the artbook because they take time during the same time with 358/2 days starting a little earlier than Re:Com. A lot of people say play 358/2 days after 2 for spoilers but imo it doesn't spoil anything.)
Game: kh2
Movie: kh Re:Coded
Game: kh dream drop distance
Game(tech demo basically) : 0.2 a fragmentary passage
Game+dlc: kh3
Nah, screw this, always play on release order, it's completely pointless to do it in chronological order, because most of these games weren't written or developed with the ones that come before them (chronologically) in mind, KH X Back Cover wasn't made as an "in" into the franchise it will be complete and utter nonsense for a beginner.So Ive never played a kingdom hearts game but with all of them on gamepass, I downloaded all of them and thought, Id give the series a go, that said there is so much here, where should I begin? What should I know before starting?
Ballmer's a nut, but he was pretty key to the early Xbox's successes despite not being it's biggest advocate.

Doom Slayer is absurd. I wonder how the Didact would fair given the tech the Forerunners had.Speaking of these vs.... Who is Xbox's STRONGEST character now?
Kratos or Cole are probably PlayStation most powerful characters but who is Xbox's most powerful now?
The man clearly really loved Microsoft. People just didn't really love him.
I've always digged the guy haha, just such a polar opposite to Jobs during those days it was always hilarious.
And the eras of Microsoft can really be encapsulated in how their leaders handle chairs.
Gates: *Jumps chairs from a standing position*
Ballmer: *Throws chairs*
Nadella: "Chairs are simply one of many empowering surfaces upon which humanity achieves more"
I will only ever forgive/like him if he moves the clippers to seattle and bring the supersonics back, two teams in L.A is too much and the lakers will always dominate there, while seattle is craving to have the supersonics back and is still a big market.I always like to imagine this is how he first came up on stage, all sweaty and then just starts chanting developers.
It's probably the player from Morrowind, you can really abuse alchemy in that game. Brew a potion that increases your intelligence, and with higher intelligence you can now brew even better intelligence increasing potions. Repeat until you're the smartest being in existence.
I'll always give Ballmer a dash of respect for listening to Moore during the red ring fiasco.The man clearly really loved Microsoft. People just didn't really love him.

Welcome to the club haha. It's not a bad place to be honestly. Have you taken a look at the library yet?So I signed up for All Access via Telstra (Series X) - locked in.
Considering I've never owned an XBox im feeling a bit silly locking myself into two years of GamePass, but it just seems like such a convenience. I might just let MS dictate most of my gaming over the next year or so + Switch first party titles.
Pre order day was such a shit show I did the same thing, Was told by Telstra that I am in wave 2, then the next day they moved me to wave 1.So I signed up for All Access via Telstra (Series X) - locked in.

Dont forget r/minecraft with 4,000,000 members hahaSo, out of curiosity, I checked subreddits of Xbox studios' franchises, and these are the most popular ones, apparently (these are just the most popular subreddits for one IP; there are more):
r/Skyrim ~990 000 (and still growing fast lol)
r/Fallout ~730 000
r/Halo ~550 000
r/seaofthieves ~295 000
r/Doom ~280 000
r/Forza ~190 000
r/theouterworlds ~130 000
r/gearsofwar ~75 000
r/Dishonored ~63 000
For comparison,
r/spidermanPS4 has ~155k members,
r/witcher3 has ~130k members (r/Witcher has 700k, but it's also for the books and the tv show, so it's not very representative, because it became twice as big after the Netflix show)
r/horizon has ~130k members.
r/gta5 has ~300k members.
As expected, with the Zenimax acquisition, Microsoft got some of the most popular IPs in gaming, but damn, I didn't expect the difference at the top to be that big. Though the most hilarious part is that Fo76 has ~275k members, even though it's a terrible game, according to the Internet.

I am already deeply entrenched in MS's ecosystem so 2yr lock in does not phase me at all.
Damn, you're right. In my defense, comparing Minecraft to any of the "normal" video game franchises seems silly. It's like too big.
The Elder Scrolls and Elder Scrolls online subs are both over 300k as well.So, out of curiosity, I checked subreddits of Xbox studios' franchises, and these are the most popular ones, apparently (these are just the most popular subreddits for one IP; there are more):

Yeah, they are. I just picked the most popular subreddit for one franchise, which is Skyrim's. It's the opposite for Fallout: the main subreddit is bigger than the subreddits for individual games.The Elder Scrolls and Elder Scrolls online subs are both over 300k as well.
I've been hoping MS would include some sort of inbuilt demos showing off the capabilities of the Xbox series X/SJez mentioned on the Xbox Two podcast that he is playing some games on the Series X that he can't talk about yet. Wonder what games they are and when he can talk about them?
Yes, but on the other hand, it's a subreddit for just one game while r/Halo, r/Fallout, r/Doom, etc, are for the fans of many games in the franchises; their individual subreddits are much smaller. It's pretty amazing that one game has that many followers. r/Skyrim added over 100k members just in the past half a year despite being nearly a decade old.Skyrim has been released on so many more platforms and across a couple of generations, it would be weird to me if it wasn't easily the largest. There's probably a not insignificant number of people who are 'Skyrim fans' and not The Elder Scrolls fans.

He's playing more then Monster Hunter? 😁Jez mentioned on the Xbox Two podcast that he is playing some games on the Series X that he can't talk about yet.
Telstra is the best but you pay for it. I'm with Optus so I couldn't get the all access as you needed to be an Telstra customer. Just need to gate game pass now, haven't yet with my One S.Telstra has by far been the best service provider I've had since moving to Australia - not that I've had many, but TPG was garbage.

Maybe he has played demos of some of the launch window games: Gears Tactics, The Ascent, The Medium, Call of the Sea...Jez mentioned on the Xbox Two podcast that he is playing some games on the Series X that he can't talk about yet. Wonder what games they are and when he can talk about them?

Jeff says "there's some time between the next time I'm allowed to talk about the next batch of things that are under embargo"
Don't think we'll be getting any new news next week.
For those curious about Doom Eternal's performance via Xbox Cloud Gaming, here's some gameplay including load times!
It will when MS makes the jump to XSX based server blades in the near future.We can complain about Stadia but man this loading time is horrible.
Stadia is really fast to boot up a game like 2-3 sec. And the quality/input lag/ is way superior.
I hope it will improve over time.

'next gen'?Doom Eternal looks really damn good. ID is going to be a visual powerhouse next gen. Their HDR is sublime on this tv.
I think they mean compared to other devs, rather than id will finally have caught up lol
