"This is where the team is actually designing nothing and doing nothing. Todd Howard advised us. It works for Bethesda so it should work for the Xbox brand." That's what it should read.

No loyalty whatsoever anymore. It's all about the money. Microsoft (the company that is currently worth four trillion dollars) is struggling financially, which is why they are doing this. Lol. Pathetic trash company that once had my two favorite consoles - the O.G. Xbox and the 360. I will just enjoy the memories and use my Series X as a dvd player and classic games console.

I understand that I am in the minority, but I am done with Microsoft going forward. I just use my Series X as a dvd player and to play older games. My PS5 Pro is my main console now and in the future, it will be a PS6. I vote with my wallet. I don't support almost anything Microsoft is doing these days with the Xbox. I feel there are alot of stupid decisions being made. I don't care how smart it is on their end, I am speaking as an ex-customer of the Xbox brand. Halo going to PS5 is the nail in the coffin. The brand has gotten so political with their messages and it's gotten pathetic. Microsoft is now trash. Happy gaming.

@andrewsqual My thoughts almost exactly.

Avowed was a horrible game. Microsoft studios overall makes bad games. So, not too convinced that Outer Worlds 2 will be good. It will probably be "Game Pass" good. Which is usually a 6 or 7.

Thought they would announce at least a remaster. Bethesda likes to do as little as possible these days. Lol.

They should release something that looks as if the Series X is being stabbed by a huge knife. That's something I'm sure would sell well.

I don't want to read about anything that is coming out without a release date attached to it. That means it is years away from being released.

Another impossible game to play. Sorry, but this is trash.

@Nightcrawler71 I'm sure it's not ready for release, but they're releasing it anyway. But don't you worry, in six months when it comes out for the PS5, it will be GOTY ready with every enhancement available running at 5000 FPS and all the bells and whistles. Go Microsoft!

Sarah loves to talk about things that are going to potentially happen one day.

$999.99. Review score is a 1.

Three rounds of massive layoffs in 18 months
Constantly releasing broken exclusive games on Game Pass
Constantly raising the price of Game Pass and their console
Trying to sell a handheld for $1000
No physical games in local stores
Other than that, they're doing great. lol.
RIP Xbox. My wallet has officially declined you permanently.

I'm here is Connecticut and my local Walmart and Target has almost no Xbox games. There is still an Xbox section, but almost nothing. Same for Best Buy. Meanwhile, Nintendo and Sony has a pretty big selection of games at all three. I know because I still buy physical games for my PS5 Pro.

Now playing Little Nightmares 3 on the PS5 Pro.

It was a horrible series. Please, end it.

Yes, I have no doubt that they probably sold out of all five pre-orders available.

I didn't cancel my Game Pass subscription, I never had it. Lol. I win.

I stated it before and I will state it again - Nothing can justify a 50% price increase for Game Pass. It's absolutely not worth it, I don't care how they try to twist it. Microsoft has become a horrible company who does not know how to manage the Xbox division. No sign of Halo or Gears of War in years, three huge rounds of layoffs in 18 months, a five year old console increasing it's price, a handheld selling at $999 and constantly releasing exclusive games on Game Pass that are broken, and then made perfect for a PS5 release. Pathetic. My PS5 Pro gets all the love now. I will continue to vote with my wallet and not support a broken company that refuses to change.

Silent Hill 2 and Metal Gear on my PS5 Pro.

The Xbox division is a pathetic, broken business. They keep raising the price of the Series X, their top tier handheld is releasing at $999.00, they have had three massive rounds of layoffs in the last 18 months, they constantly release Xbox exclusives on Game Pass that are unfinished, only to take 6-12 months to make the game perfect in order to release it on the Playstation. And now the Game Pass price hike. Pathetic is the only word that comes to mind. The Xbox division is done. It's only a matter of time. There is no game on the Xbox that I want to play bad enough anymore. Indy was the only exclusive, which is now on the PS5. All future games that I want to play will be played on my PS5 Pro. My Series X will continue to collect dust. If anyone wants to buy it, let me know.

OMG stop. They are all going to be good games but never great. They can dress it up as much as they want. It's $30 a month. That's all we are seeing and the answer is no.

I will stick with my current plan, which is no plan. I don't believe in Game Pass or PS Premium. Monthly subscriptions keep poor people poor. I have plenty of friends that look at the monthly cost of subscription services instead of the yearly cost. I don't play favorites. No one gets my money on a monthly basis. If I like a game, I buy it. If I want to watch movies, I watch them on Tubi, Youtube, Crackle, Pluto or go to my local library. My plan works for me. Vote with your wallet.

And now I will list the amount I will be paying Microsoft - $0.00 monthly. Well Xbox, it's been a long strange trip, from 2001 to 2025. Some good times and a whole lot of rocky years. I'm done. The Series X is my last console from Microsoft. There have been far too many stupid decisions from Microsoft within the last few years. I'm exercising my right to vote with my wallet.

$30.00 per month. lol. I have not had game pass in months because I thought $20.00 was too much. OMG. Goodbye Xbox.

I probably would have picked this up at launch, but not going to bother now.

Currently playing SH f. Great game. Not a Silent Hill game, but it's a great game on it's own.

Tried giving Borderlands 4 a try. Reached level 10 with nearly 10 hours of gameplay. I honestly do not like this game. It never feels fun, since I started it until I stopped playing. The loot system hasn't changed - almost all loot is useless. Dying from enemies immediately. Every section has endless enemies that will have you fighting for your life, only to disappear or hide so you cannot revive yourself in time. The map and inventory system is complex. It's just horrible to me. Moved on to Silent Hill F. Hopefully I will like it.

$1000. Honestly, I can't stop laughing. No to the no to the no to the no. But I'm happy for the three people that are buying this.

I'll pick it up for my PS5 Pro. My Series X is not worthy right now. Until Microsoft starts making better business decisions, my Xbox is sitting in a corner on time out. But who knows, we'll see what happens next year.

All I can say is vote with your wallet. If my Series X breaks, I would never buy another one. I'm good with my PS5 Pro going forward.

Updates? They are probably getting it ready for the PS5. It has to launch perfect for the PS5. Xbox gamers don't matter, but Sony gamers do. Pathetic.

I'll wait to see what the reviews say. More yes than no at this point but still want to see those reviews.

None of these are of any interest to me. I'll be playing Metal Gear, Borderlands 4 and Silent Hill F, probably all on my PS5 Pro. Because realistically they will look superior on the PS5 Pro and there will be all sorts of issues on the Series X versions.

What a surprise. Lol.

Reminds me of XIII, but in fast motion. Not liking the pace. I'll stick with XIII.

And once again, the Series X version looks inferior. Hate to say that but.......

This is my guess - We're bringing some exciting improvements to the PS5, all Xbox exclusive games are now on the PS5. Halo 7 will launch exclusively on the PS5 with maybe a later date for the Xbox, of course with a major graphical reduction. 120 fps on the PS5 pro, 30 fps on the Series X. Stay tuned for more exciting news.

Starfield is a bad game. I tried to play it several times. And there's DLC coming? That's not a tease, that sounds like a threat. lol.

Great game.....if it's 2006. It is beyond bizarre that the PS5 gets a physical copy, but Microsoft, doesn't make one available for the Xbox. It's so odd. I won't be playing this. I vote with my wallet and time. Microsoft keeps making stupid decisions without thinking of any loyalty towards their Xbox gamers. Halo being ported to PS5 will seal the deal for me.

Veilguard is trash and GOW is 19 years old. What am I missing here?

Why is this a thing? lol. It's a near 20 year old game that's remastered. It's not even a remake.

It's a hard no for me. No reason to pick this up. No interest.

Once when it came out. I mean, it really wasn't that good. It was ok.

@Fiendish-Beaver It's not a point and click. It's just moving around your character and interacting with the environment. The story from the most recent game was excellent.

Sad that the Xbox version doesn't have any reviews, especially this site.

Official release date but no official price? lol. Is that a joke?

My local Walmart has a bunch of these. I don't think they have sold one of them. Lol. On a side note, played the first few hours of the game and thought it was horrible compared to the last two Doom games. But, I'm sure some loved it.

Two of my favorite games of all time. I just played both about a year ago. Cannot wait to play these. Now if they can only announce a remake of Manhunt!

By brutal, do you mean difficult? If so, nope.
