Re: Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Hints At Plans To 'Raise Prices' In The Future

Halucigens

At least he’s giving fair warning. Still no date but most things are getting hit by inflation. I work in produce and we are seeing all time highs on product when demand spikes and their are shortages. If game pass does go up then I’ll cut a different streaming platform from my budget. My entertainment roi beats any other platform I’m subscribed to.

Re: Xbox Wants To Know What Needs Improving About Microsoft Rewards

Halucigens

My only gripe is things not registering. Rewards are already a bonus so i try not to linger in the negativity. I’ve had sale items not register and have contacted support about it with no action. Preorders and deluxe bundles haven’t worked before. The rewards themselves are super easy and I use them to pay for game pass. It’s a pretty good service despite the bugs.

Re: Xbox Game Pass Is Hurting Right Now, But Larger Forces Are At Play

Halucigens

No issue here. Love trying all the games that come to game pass. If I see something I like that’s not on game pass I buy it. If there is a good sale on older games I buy them. Game pass brought me back into gaming hardcore. I just use my reward points for three months of game pass and I’ve paid 20 bucks for 18 months of game pass. I’ve bought plenty of games too.

Re: MultiVersus Is Now Officially Free To Play For Everyone On Xbox

Halucigens

It plays really well. I’m a huge smash fan since n64. I like the character selection and how everyone I’ve played so far feels really different. Free to play will turn off some but it follows standard league of legends progression with a season pass as well. I bought the founders bundle because I’ll be playing this all generation. Easy to pick up, cross play and just fun. Buy what you want and play how you want. All characters are unlockable through in game coins. Some emotes and cosmetics are pay only. Some you only get through the season pass. I like it and I can see them making a ton of money and the content expanding.

Re: Talking Point: Did The Series X|S Bring You Back To Xbox? If So, How Come?

Halucigens

I tried pc game pass and loved having a great catalogue of games to try. My laptop handled games around 30-40 fps. I loved the Xbox showcase and knew I wanted the X series. It’d play the games I was enjoying way better and I upgraded my tv too. So far it’s been amazing. Playing new games playing last gen games and playing retro games. Nintendo, PC, and Sony are going to have to do a lot to get me to switch. The marketplace ecosystem makes sense to me. Play games, get Microsoft rewards to play more games. The other two console manufacturers are money hungry. Switch was making too many remakes and Sony only really specialized in single player games.

Re: Microsoft Rewards Guide: How To Make 20,000 Points Per-Month With Xbox

Halucigens

I’ve been using my points from rewards to pay for game pass since august of last year. I have it till December of this year already. You get a points break if you do 3 months. If you game everyday and check game pass quests and the rewards app it’s relatively easy. I also buy some games or utilize sales to get the big point drops. I really enjoy it because it incentivizes much game time and has me try new games.

Re: Sea Of Thieves Season 7 Sets Sail On Xbox July 21st

Halucigens

@tatsumi just set your expectations that anything can happen. It really sucks losing loot but the game can feel like a story book.

I love sea of thieves. Great times and memories with myself and with friends and loved ones. I really enjoyed that they gave Xbox communities like sea of thieves, elder scrolls, fall out 76 and MFSM some love. I think live service games get a lot of hate but these games are fantastic by yourself and with friends and with the communities involved.

Re: Battlefield 2042 Season 1 Revealed, Launches This Week On Xbox

Halucigens

I bought the digital deluxe. I’ve played a lot with my friends. We are all on the edge. Going to see if the season is worth it with the new map and specialist and how they do their season pass. Pretty sure I’m uninstalling it. Their bug fixes introduced new bugs. Their balance fixes had made it worse.
