@Generik It's really only worth it if you want to skip to level 25 of the battle pass and get those cosmetics immediately. If nothing sticks out to you in that range, then probably not.
I bought the standard pass to support the game's early release (and to actually get cosmetics every now and then), but personally I'd recommend holding off until they actually make the grind more worth it.

Wouldn't there also be a Bulldog Nerf skin too?

Within the last year my original Xbox One has gone from nearly neglected to one of my primary consoles thanks to all of these Game Pass features and games.

Hopefully next year they add Paramount+, I only want to watch that Halo 😎

Otogi made it?! Wow!

I was first exposed to Xbox and Halo CE gameplay as a kid watching an old friend play the campaign. It wasn't until the Xbox 360 that I'd get to play through Halo CE and 2 myself, and they've been among my favorite games ever since.
This is why the 360 era stuck out to me the most, especially with the release of 3 and countless online matches that followed.

Orange Box would have been cool too 😕

@FriendlyOctopus Agreed. These devs just gave it to people straight, if anything I have more respect for them. The whiners can get their refunds and move on.

They should have paid him for a brief Cameo recording of a classic line to sell the joke.

@Bobobiwan That was super wholesome. As a PS2 owner myself, I was immediately jealous when I got exposed to Halo at my friend's house. I knew it was a big deal beforehand, but just watching someone else play it floored me. It wouldn't be until the 360 that I got my own mits on the series.

Why would it have to be tied to Ryse? Just make a new Rome-themed IP that does everything better.

Pre-MCC Collection I considered 2 and Reach my favorites. Recently I'm leaning more towards CE and 3. This just might reach (heh) or exceed CE and 3 to me.

The design doesn't really scream "Guardians of the Galaxy" but hey a console is a console. I'm sure the winner will be very happy regardless.

@FriendlyOctopus Then consider me persuaded. There's no going back now 😎

@FriendlyOctopus I'm so conflicted. Do I rewatch and slow down/zoom in to see more little details or do I turn a blind eye til release?! 😫

I'm getting some Just Cause vibes from the vehicle request pads, enemy strongholds, and air grapple vehicle jacking. And I'm all for it.

I've missed this look ever since they took it away from the 360 🥺 Tears of sadness and happiness at the nostalgia I just got hit with.

Been having fun with this new content so far! I'm still excited for the eventual addition of flood and elites into ODST Firefight.

Game Pass has resurrected my Xbox One from what was a sad dusty part of the shelf. It's very nice to jump between titles I own without fudging with discs and playing new games day one along the way.

From an unseasoned Ghost Recon player: Future Soldier. The previous games failed to hold my interest, but FS felt like a blend of Splinter Cell Convictions and Rainbow Six Vegas and I had a blast with it.

I love these new armors and I've been stockpiling points just for them! 🤟😬

Tenchu Z please 🤞🤞
Aragami 2 is awesome, but it still can't beat this game.

Konami should NOT make a new Metal Gear. Remakes or ports should be all they are concerned with. Without Kojima at the helm writing ridiculous off the walls plot, we would just get a sad mockery of what makes Metal Gear work.

MGS3 just needs small QOL changes to modernize the controls and maybe the UI. Having to pause every few minutes to re-apply makeup and clothing is a tad annoying.

Central Time always getting shafted in favor of Eastern and Pacific Timezones 😒 Make them do the calculations for once.

I'm finally in and I can't wait 😎 See you soon, Spartans.

+1 to Jet Set Radio Future, and a special mention to Tenchu Return to Darkness. I hope we get ports of Otogi one day.

Aragami 2 all the way 🥷

From a very simplified viewpoint, it's sad that you can end up being fined large sums of money for selling (or at least sharing publicly) something you yourself made.
But from the realistic perspective, this was extremely careless and he should have known better.

Oh I hope this poor thing pulls through 😣
Can PS5 save a life? No. The poor creature would slide off of the stupid curved shell (I say as a PS5 owner).

This definitely scratches the Tenchu itch and the mobility and combat feel great.

I appreciate them addressing this up front, and from the looks of it I'm going to have a great time playing this. I'll be buying it on Steam anyhow.

I would be surprised if this isn't Crash Bash related. The word 'league' being thrown around and the gift meant to be 'bashed' open and all.

I still revisit titles like Hexic HD, Marble Blast Ultra, Marathon Durandal, the Penny Arcade games, and Doritos Crash Course.

Monkey Ball and Halo Infinite for sure. I wanna roll and I wanna shoot.

@InterceptorAlpha It would be so much unnecessary work to have a toggle for each and every piece of armor a purist would and would not want to see though.
Good news is we're still a long ways from a Spartan in a banana suit or literal celebrity skins. And even though they gave a lore description for it, this all started with Hayabusa in Halo 3. That armor immediately looked out of place but everyone drooled for it.

These are simply skins that have no lore background or purpose other than to look different. I think they look deadly and I can't wait to unlock them in MCC.

This looks very promising! I just hope they don't pull a Halo CE Anniversary where there's added light sources every few feet.

@K1LLEGAL The chronology is a total mess. On 360 you'd have to play Metal Gear Solid 3 > Peace Walker > Ground Zeroes > Phantom Pain > Metal Gear > Metal Gear 2 (both available through 3 HD) > Metal Gear Solid 2. So you would ultimately miss out on the first Metal Gear Solid (never ported to Xbox) and MGS 4 (never ported in general since it has too many features unique to PS3).

It still surprises me that such an expansive game was ported to the 360/PS3 consoles in the first place. And from what I saw it still held up surprisingly well from graphics and performance.

@InterceptorAlpha Ah. Yeah I definitely consider them weaker than the OG trilogy but I've still replayed them both a lot. And Spartan Ops just felt like Firefight with objectives, but I get why they're hated too.
Personally as long as there's no Prometheans in Infinite that alone will elevate it above 4 and 5 for me.

@InterceptorAlpha What did 343 do that was so ***** before? This confuses me.

$200 is all, huh? Wow...pass.

@Xenomorph_79 Put batteries in? Canadians aren't barbaric, they use a charging cable like everyone else 😉

These omissions are sad but temporary. If anything it's odd they won't just launch multiplayer first by itself.

So on day one, you're essentially buying a $60 solo campaign. That must have a pretty big impact on initial sales.

Asking him if he could leave the Subreddit would be my first and only question.

Yeah I love the content creator but 10% off of $140 isn't enough for a controller 😩

Great. Fortnite flossing inbound.

Aragami 2 baby! Maybe I can finally scratch that Tenchu Z itch on the Xbone🥷
