40+ years of consoles relying on exclusive games to make them desirable can't be by chance. And then there's Microsoft, fortunate enough to own one of the most legendary video game protagonists, Master Chief, and they hand him over. They are on a terrible decision streak.
@Coletrain Sorry but what does that even mean? That you don't like a bargain? Not buying that. And how do you come up with a price that you're "willing to pay"? Especially since we usually don't know if we like a game until we play it.
@Mincey0 time is valuable especially at my age since I'm running out of it. No time for walking sims and I've looked at much prettier things than these graphics
Just uninstalled. Walking simulator, stoner simulator, at least for the 20 minutes I could get through. Are these the day one games we're expecting with the new Game Pass?
Game pass is better for discovering new games and indie titles. Ubisoft classics is the opposite of that. Anyone who had interest in playing these games has already done so.
It's so obvious that Gold is nothing more than a paywall. Even Microsoft with all their consumer friendly features aren't willing to give up on this free money.

Re: Talking Point: Does Microsoft Have A '30FPS' Problem With Its Xbox Series X|S Output?
30fps should have been a thing of the past two generations now
Re: Obsidian Confirms That Avowed Runs At 30FPS On Xbox Series X|S
30fps is a sacrifice I'm not willing to make any more
Re: Redfall Open World Shown Off In Extended Look At Arkane's Game Pass Shooter
Don't see anything worthwhile. If there is anything good about this game they are doing a good job of hiding it. Just my honest opinion.
Re: The Witcher 3 Xbox Series S Comparison Shows Mixed Results For CDPR's 'Next-Gen' Update

Re: Xbox Games With Gold For December 2022 Announced
It's so obvious that Gold is nothing more than a paywall. Even Microsoft with all their consumer friendly features aren't willing to give up on this free money.
Re: PSA: The Witcher 3 Is Dirt Cheap On Xbox One Prior To Free Next-Gen Upgrade
@CunningPig They actually adressed the ? situation by making new map filters that erase them off the map. It's going to be a great remaster.

Re: Bonnie Ross, The Head Of Halo, Is Leaving 343 Industries And Microsoft
Pretty obvious they fired her and the "medical issue" isn't the real reason she is leaving. About time as well. Halo deserves better.
Re: Halo Infinite Players Discover Split-Screen Exploit On Xbox Series X|S
343 has become the laughing stock of the video game industry.
Re: Reaction: Can 343 Industries Deliver On What's Right For Halo?
They clearly aren't up to the task. Halo deserves better than 343, much better
Re: Halo Infinite Local Campaign Co-Op Has Been Cancelled
I'm done believing in 343. They are simply incompetent. Why on earth they still have the franchise is beyond me.

@Bleachedsmiles alright thanks for the answer I 'll try that
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With May 2022's Xbox Games With Gold?
@Bleachedsmiles how do you use Gold to get 2 years of Game Pass for 60?
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With May 2022's Xbox Games With Gold?
it's weird to see Microsoft still doing Games with Gold. They are usually ahead of the curve, but GWG really belongs in the past.
Re: Rumour: Microsoft Might Permanently 'Combine' Xbox Live Gold With Game Pass
they should simply drop the online paywall, put all the deals behind the game pass subscription and that's it
