I liked the multiplayer for a long time (after the launch which was botched for online) and barely uninstalled the game this year. They just lowered costs & the game suffered for it. I love how they kept adding content but hey also cut back on cutscenes, abandoned DLC, & massively scaled back the team. 343 deserved it so hoping these changes make the next halo game better. I'll reinstall this as the gunplay is awesome still. I love firefight as well.

That is a fair opinion but a gamepass machine isn't enough value for me. At least we have options though & that is a plus. I like to buy physical but I'm a niche group

@FraserG tested as a shovel lol I hope it feels more like a console than an ASUS ROG. Had big issues with the PC navigation via the handheld

Oh yeah, the FTC are gonna get it now. Microsoft is the most aggressive mf company out there. Of course they're gonna dominate in software and that's good for us Xbox fans

If they add a first person shooter point of view I'm all in. Extraction shooters feel better with FPS vs 3rd person imo because you can peak much easier in first person and set up shots. I'm a massive Hunt Showdown fan so will be extra particular about any new game coming out. I want more shooters in the genre so maybe 3rd person will turn out much better than I think. Will give it a shot either way to whet my whistle

I too enjoy making bad financial decisions that I expect to make more money for me. As is life. Poor devs that poured their sweat and bled for this game.

If game development costs more then game subscriptions will cost more

I'm going to move to a self sustaining farm and grow food for myself so I can afford gaming after this generation. Xbox ought to just focus on releasing as many games as possible for PC and current consoles rather than push for a next gen consoles at this point. I'm not dropping more than $500 for a console to pay $80-100 for games and an ever more expensive subscription service. PC master race? Maybe..

Let's just put these bad boys at $1000 and keep that price for 10 years.

Hell yeah, let's go! Oh wait, tariffs and inflation, nvm

September 2024 to December 2025 going to be the best 15 months of Xbox for a long time. Starfield, Indiana Jones, Avowed, Oblivion, DOOM, Fable & just so much gold stuff. I said I wasn't gonna sub to gamepass in November again but let's see, maybe I just buy 3-5 of those and stick with Core. It is very good to finally have it feel like a lot of value whereas same time last year were all delays of major titles

They're really not becoming the Netflix of gaming. They're becoming the Microsoft Office of gaming. Getting on every possible device.

@Kaloudz said the same thing lol maybe re-creation?

I just signed up for the Alpha. Bungie has the best gunplay in the biz, not sure if it's still the case but will find out. I'm hoping they make the game more photorealistic instead of whatever art style they're going for as it's a bit distracting. I'm a big fan of extraction shooters playing Hunt Showdown so have high hopes for this to be good.

Now they need to remaster Starfield

Microsoft is hardly producing physical content, makes sense to save a few bucks and go all digital if you're looking at straight savings

Oh you know I already bought that. $10 worth for Horse Armor. I'm excited to start!

Xbox Game Pass is not worth for me personally anymore. Xbox has a lot of sales and I'm not playing many games. Price increases have turned me off but hey! If you like it, the option is THERE which can't really be said for Nintendo and Sony. It's also on PC so if you have Ultimate there, it may very well be worth your while. I'm gonna buy this game even though it's on Game pass, at least I get a small discount but am gonna wait for physical details

Now people will finally see why it's the bomb dot com

@Kaloudz probably reboot is a better term

Is there a physical launch happening?

Oh curse word yeah! Time to shut close the jaws....of OBLIVION

I enjoyed Oblivion more than Skyrim. I remember reading gaming magazines at the time & watching videos on YouTube about the launch and the physics and graphics this would bring to consoles. I poured so much time into it, the game would crash or freeze at the 130 hour mark. Even with the bugs I had a special time hopping into big RPGs with the launch of this title. Such a great time. I will be buying this, hope they have a physical copy.

How about a poll on who would win in a fight? Master Chief or Doom guy? I'd say Doom guy wins majority of those battles

Yeah right, will wait for a patch on this bad boy. I've been burned with early access so many times, not worth it.

@Kaloudz the campaign is a ton of fun. The acting in it is top notch. Play it for the cutscenes & character development, it's a great time

One of the greatest stories of all time

I want this with Hall Effect sticks

Wireless make my pants go boink
EDIT: wish it was for Xbox Series of consoles too 😭

A lot of these are made in China so I think it will delay the comeback of this service while they figure out the global market at the moment 😭😢

Price increases now are smart for when GTA VI launches. Consoles should sell out around that time so it won't hurt them to so it, it hurts the consumer though

These devs are awesome

Aesthetic looks weird but in all for the game, let's go!

World at War is great and sobering

I can only say I am a fan of this initiative & I want as many games as possible on it

I have a feeling ES6 will more or less be a spiritual successor to this game

Doug Bowser just isn't very Nintendo. His decisions on keeping Internet connections on for people that own multiple Switches was outright dumb as I owned the launch model, lite and OLED and would often pack it up to go out only to not be able to play a bunch of my content because that device hadn't been online. They are just allowing this now for up to 2 weeks. A great improvement but their decisions don't make a lot of sense to me.

Of the consoles, Xbox needs to tone down their advertising by a lot. I get Windows us full of ads but like for my Xbox, if I don't have GPU, I should not get ads for it everytime I am booting up the console or starting certain games. Let my people go!

Hunt Showdown all weekend

I own all the games, I want newer games at sale rates 😏 a dream

I've had a chance to visit factories like this and it's awesome they had a little tour of it. I think I can feel confident buying any device or building my own PC and it not being an Xbox after this video because it looks like I'll be able to play it in anything I want. I can finally let go but I don't wanna 😭 I've owned every Xbox, I don't wanna stop

It's not even a question if it's backwards compatible, it's expected

Xbox is definitely doing a lot right when compared to Nintendo. Will Nintendo straight smoke Xbox for another gen? Probably and they'll make a lot of profit. Can they avoid the curse of messing up every other launch? Looks like not haha

I like Xbox but Nintendo has decades of experience in this and actually design their games for the device itself instead of trying to get their games to as many devices as possible which leads to many not tailored different experiences. I would prob get both though if the Xbox handheld is compelling enough

They'll be $100 a game by 2030 but that's inflation and the market. A haircut for guys costs $50 in some of the bigger cities when I remember it costing $15 less than 10 years ago, maybe $25 for a really nice spot. Sign of the crappy times y'all

Okay I'll buy a Switch 2. I think it's overpriced but hey, times have changed and $500 is the new $300

@BacklogBrad people definitely got confused and I was one of them. I thought it was a Wii accessory.

What's up with 33 this year? 33 Immortals, Expedition 33

Nothing like half a billion dollars

By the fires of Akatosh!! Time to quit my job and abandon my family I don't have. I shall shut close the jaws of OBLIVION!!
