The Carpool

@jezus213 - Gears 5 is such an amazing package but how much do you think the Xbox live issues and game glitches have affected its reception? I love it but it has been kind of a dumpster fire and it’s still not fixed. Will probably rope this into our Gears 5 Versus Playlist talk as well.

@hypecaster - Gears is stunning in the graphics front. Lots of great action sequences. But it is also very familiar in many ways. 🤔 Do you think they end this story and world and reboot or continue to play it fairly safe and refine the game as we move to the next gen???

@NintendoGurus - We have seen Microsoft pave the way for games like Ori and Cup head to come to switch. Do you see any “exclusive” 1st party games making their way to the switch. Which would make sense for you?

Cruise Control - Topic of the Show

This week’s Cruise Control Topic comes from Blaze Knight’s question:

@BlazeKnight0923
What is the most important game on Xbox One? As in, what game is the largest driving force for Xbox success and why?
