Funny enough playing through all the Gears games at the moment and i'm on 4, REALLY Good Fun, i mean 3 is the best, but really enjoying this one!! So Glad we got it instead of another bloke raider game
@Titntin I could be wrong, as like all of us (we have no links to the inner workings of MS) but what makes sense to me is rather than keep lying, they are telling the truth, or at least holding the party line BUT, they are in hock to MS BIGTIME since activision, so if MS says they need to cut staff (becuase they are betting BIG on Copliot and wasting untold money on it) then they have to make the best choice, cancelling things that have been going on too long but that they would have continued supporting otherwise, same as game pass, it was okay, so a bean counter in ms must have said, right, it needs to make more money or you can it; so then it needs to make more money and they know it's not right so stick what (realatively) cheap bits they can on for 'added value'
@Fiendish-Beaver One thing i see as a problem for both Playsation and Xbox is if they are going anytime soon, Tarrifs pushing the price up in the US bearing in mind it's a major market for both; Surely a good reason to give us what we want and hold on the this gen until, when's Trump out for good, in what, 3 years and a few months? Not saying that will definately chnage anything, but it may well
@ILuvGames Yeah this time there might be a super powerful (and expensive) one and a regular one; people say the s didn't sell, but think it's sold more than the x
I had a thought that might mess up next gen for xbox and Playstation, GTA6. Coming out in the latter half of this console gen pushing xbox one and ps4 owners to upgrade at the last minute then having no interesting in doing it again in another year or so 😮
@jolteon23 You said it though, MS make the money and must thave told Xbox they need to fix up and make profit (or more profit?) from gamepass; as i see it, it's the price they pay for selling xbox's soul to MS to buy Activion Blizzard and finally be able to make games regularly (which is what they needed to be able to do) but now MS want them to make money when they say and cut jobs when the overspend on ms copliot research when they say)
So after beatiung Gears one a few times back almost 20 years ago, beat 2 a few weeks back (Good Fun) 3 last week (GREAT GAME!!) and Judgement Yesterday (Good Fun) now onto Gears 4, thought it started slow but has me now 🤣👍
@Titntin Fair Play then, i do use it a lot but dropped one of my young adults to keep mine (he's got a girlfriend so doesn't game as much as he used to, ah those were the days 😂) nothing's getting any cheaper
@The-Doc Fair Game Matey but my 74 year old mum would be the last person to pay my bills, has trouble paying her own 😂👍and i still think £22.99 is pretty damn good now they have games coming regularly and games are mostly £70 new
Think on the whole the are just losing people who aren't really xbox fans or don't have time to play many games in which case it's not really a service made for them. i could do without the price raise though 😂
@lechugajr Yeah probaly exactly there plan, get rid of those they don't make profit from get a bit more from those they doe, Fun while it lasted though 😂
@ZuneTattooGuy Oviously so late to this party but there are still some games that are only backwards compatable physical, do we want to just lose these?
@Old_Man_Harper Had no interest in Subnautica, then speed ran though it with console commands when they did the 10,000 gamerscore for reward points (remember when they actaully wanted us to have them 😂) wish i hadn't as looks MUCH better than i assumed it would be
