Re: Xbox Is Apparently 'Very Confident' In Its 2024 Summer Showcase Lineup

I can't help but feel a tad negative going into this reveal. That's mostly fueled by hype for past years and it really not amounting to much.

I'm also pretty bummed out that Halo Infinite is on a death slide existing only to milk players with the shop between now and the next release.

Microsoft rarely use their showcases to show Halo projects. The last time was Infinite and despite my excitement we all know how that turned out. I just feel my favorite franchise is being terribly mishandled.

I guess this is somewhat what it feels to be a Gears of War fan?

@dreadful Feels like the end. Halo is pretty much the only game I play and maybe that’s the issue here.

I've played every week and for every weekly. There are orbs in the exchange I don’t have but do I want them? Not really. Even the 30000 credits one just doesn’t seem worth it.

With weekly rewards going I think I’m actually going to stop doing weeklies. I’d hope on each Tuesday night (as my calls it “Halo night”) but with how unenjoyable the game is to play nowadays I’m seriously reconsidering that.

You can really tell their heart isn’t in it any more.

Wife & I finished the content of Lightyear Frontier this week. Good fun with a solid foundation but definitely early access.

I’ll likely play some Halo Infinite multiplayer as always. The exp per rank getting to me! 60k For the next one and that’s nothing compared to where it’s heading. I don’t know how long Infinite will be around but the grind to Hero is daunting.

Re: Poll: How Excited Are You For Diablo 4 On Xbox Game Pass?

I played the game at launch with my wife. I didn’t complete the main story because it honestly bored me to tears and the gameplay just wasn’t fun.

We’d played Diablo 3 for 100s of hours across multiple consoles. Sure, Diablo 3 was repetitive and the story was nee meh but the gameplay loop was fun for a while and was something that I could come back every now and then.
