If they are recommitting to their core fans, I will recommit to them. But I have to see it first. Also, Halo has to be kept exclusive. Microsoft, keep your flagship series sacred to the Xbox. They have to at least do that. It's been exclusive for 25 years. Don't change that now.
Halo stays exclusive to the Xbox. Good Lord, don't show all your cards. Keep something sacred. Halo is Microsoft's flagship series that started it all. Everything else, who cares. But don't touch Halo. Because once Halo CE goes to the PS5, all future Halo games will do the same.
I did receive a $5.00 gift card which is about as useful as anyone offering a $5.00 gift card when you are not in the market to buy anything. Something to get the customer thinking that they are getting a deal. lol. Marketing is such a joke. Keep your $5.00. Send me a free game or something I will actually use. There's a reason why Microsoft is worth a few trillion dollars. Bye.
Well, the last COD was trash. I played it for one hour, quit and uninstalled it and I haven't played it since. But, I think they have to release it on day one. If not, then it won't stop with COD. That will just be the trend going forward. Certain games will not launch on GP when they are released. And then it's no different then PS Premium. I think that's the only thing Microsoft has on Sony right now. But couldn't care less either way. I don't subscribe to GP consistently.
I picked up a few three month GP cards for $60.00 each. I can live with $20 per month. Also, I don't have GP consistently. Once in a while, I'll use one of my cards. Probably twice per year. I would never pay $30. Monthly subscriptions are great for businesses, horrible for customers.
This is like seeing the original trailer for ES6. I need more information. This indicates that it is years away. Nothing for me to get excited about. Now, if they said it launches this Fall and preorders are starting tomorrow, then I'll be a little more excited.
Halo should be only on the Xbox. Microsoft announcing Halo Campaign Evolved for the PS5 was one of the reasons that I decided to turn my back on the Series X. Like I have stated before, I only now use it for my 4k movie collection and all my old games. I reward stupidity by voting with my wallet.
Don't show my full hand of cards - 1. Don't announce that we are behind Sony and that we need them. Microsoft is a multi-trillion dollar company, Sony is not. Figure it out. 2. Some things must be kept exclusive - Halo and Gears should be only on the Xbox. If the Xbox doesn't have a big enough player base, make it so it does. In other words, be better. The better you are, the more success you will have. See how that works?
I mean, she has to play nice no matter what. But, she was definitely not happy with the reorganization, so she left, or she was told to leave. Alot of blah said here. And, other than being a pretty face (like the new girl), not sure exactly what she did for Xbox.
Matt Booty was the one who was next in line for this position. Not sure who this woman is. Not sure a woman should be in this role. I highly doubt she is a gamer, which Matt Booty is. At this point, I doubt any real positive changes for gamers will be made when it comes to the Xbox. It's all about revenue for them. I'm still pretty much done with the brand.
Hell no. I'm getting it for my PS5 Pro. The Xbox has made a career out of slipping on banana peels and stepping on rakes. One stupid decision after another. Namely deciding to put Halo and Gears on the Playstation. Because of that, I vote with my wallet. Any game I want to purchase, I do so for my PS5 Pro. My Series X is used for old games and my 4k movie selection.
I played Witcher 3 when it launched, over ten years ago. I assumed this has been on Game Pass for quite some time. But, for the two gamers that have not played this, good for them.
First, the Spider Man games on Playstation are not that good. lol. Second, why would anyone care about this? Are gamers online complaining that they want it on the Xbox? Not likely.
Playing Silent Hill F on my PS5 pro. My GP subscription expired, so, unless I can find another three month card for $60, I won't be joining GP anytime soon. The value is just not there for $30 per month.
I thought it was trash. I played it for probably three hours. Quit, uninstalled and started playing Skyrim again. I give Avowed a 5. Typical Game Pass game. Now, I'm sure they have had major updates since release and made improvements just in time for the PS5 release in a few weeks.
I did play it for a few hours when it came out, and then just stopped. I think I remember not liking the controls. I don't believe there was any up or down movement. Am I remembering that correctly? Not sure.
Does anyone really care? The Xbox brand is irrelevant. I mean, Forza, Fable, Gears and Halo - all new games coming out on the PS5 on day one. Kinda pathetic for Microsoft. I don't care how much money they are making. Customer loyalty should count for something. So no, no one cares about the next Xbox. It's irrelevant.
Been in development for at least five years. Probably needs another five. If it's only on Game Pass on day one, it will be broken. If it's on the PS5 on day one, it will be a GOTY contender.
Microsoft has slipped on one too many banana peels for me to invest in another console. I use my Series X for old games and to watch 4k movies. My PS5 Pro is the console that gets my money. And going forward, I will invest in the PS6. I'll pay whatever they decide to charge.
@Jenkinss Definitely agree with that one. Nothing was bigger than Halo 2 at the time. But, why bother showing this footage unless it's available to us gamers? Damn.

Re: Report: Microsoft Is In The Early Stages Of 'Expanding' Xbox Game Pass
I don't subscribe to GP simply because it's not worth what they charge. $20.00 was acceptable. $30.00 is insane. It will soon be $40.00 for sure.
