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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@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.
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!
If it's Halo, I'm done permanently with Xbox. the announcement of Gears going to the PS5 was the first mistake for me personally. I no longer have Game Pass because of that. Loyalty is obviously a thing of the past. Halo being ported would be the end for me.
I rarely buy games and when I do, it's for my PS5 pro. I don't even have GP anymore. I just come to this site to see what's new in the world of Xbox. Lately, it's been kinda bad but whatever. I cannot see buying another Xbox based on how I feel Microsoft runs their gaming division. Just my opinion.
Avowed. lol. Already forgotten about this one. Played it for an hour and thought it was horrible. I'm sure the "Ultimate" version will come out in a year or so for the PS5.
@galson Exactly how I feel. I've been looking for games to play on my PS5 pro. For me, my Game Pass subscription expires in two days. Definitely not renewing it right now. Maybe one day. Doubt it though.
Reminds me of when the Killzone trailer for the PS3 was released. Sony was saying "in game engine" and "actual gameplay". When the game came out, I could not stop laughing between the differences. Since then, until I play a game, it's not the game.

Re: Xbox Game Pass Is Getting A Major Overhaul With New Names, Games & Price Changes
$30.00 per month. lol. I have not had game pass in months because I thought $20.00 was too much. OMG. Goodbye Xbox.
Re: Oblivion Remastered Is Getting A Physical Release For Xbox Series X
I probably would have picked this up at launch, but not going to bother now.
Re: Silent Hill F Hits Impressive Sales Milestone Just One Day After Multiplatform Release
Currently playing SH f. Great game. Not a Silent Hill game, but it's a great game on it's own.

Re: ROG Xbox Ally Prices Finally Revealed, Pre-Orders Now Live
$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.
Re: Poll: Are You Buying Silent Hill F Next Week?
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.
Re: Microsoft Announces New Price Increases For Xbox Series X|S In The US
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.
Re: Halo: The Master Chief Collection Gets Surprise Update On Xbox & PC
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.
Re: Poll: Are You Buying Borderlands 4 Next Week?
I'll wait to see what the reviews say. More yes than no at this point but still want to see those reviews.
Re: Talking Point: Next Month Is A Big One For Xbox Game Studios, And We're Here For It

What a surprise. Lol.
Re: 'I Am Your Beast', A Fast-Paced FPS, Has Just Shadow Dropped On Xbox Game Pass

Re: Starfield Dev Teases New DLC, Free Updates And 'Features Players Have Been Asking For'
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.
Re: Review: Gears Of War: Reloaded - An Xbox Classic That Flourishes On Modern Hardware

Re: Two Huge Games Are Available This Week With Xbox Game Pass (August 26-28)
Veilguard is trash and GOW is 19 years old. What am I missing here?
Re: Gears Of War Reloaded: Release Date, Release Times & Download Size On Xbox Game Pass
Why is this a thing? lol. It's a near 20 year old game that's remastered. It's not even a remake.
Re: Talking Point: Has This Week's ROG Xbox Ally News Sold You On The New Handheld?
It's a hard no for me. No reason to pick this up. No interest.
Re: Poll: With 'Reloaded' On The Horizon, How Many Times Have You Completed Gears Of War 1?
Once when it came out. I mean, it really wasn't that good. It was ok.
Re: Syberia Remastered Delivers Huge Overhaul On Xbox Series X|S In November 2025
@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.
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Reviews Are Saying About Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
Sad that the Xbox version doesn't have any reviews, especially this site.
Re: ROG Xbox Ally Handheld Gets Official October 2025 Release Date
Official release date but no official price? lol. Is that a joke?
Re: DOOM Xbox Controller Drops To Lowest Price Yet At Walmart (US)
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.
Re: Rockstar Working 'Close' With Remedy As Max Payne 1+2 Development Advances
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!
Re: Brutal Action-RPG 'Hell Is Us' Gets Free Xbox Series X|S Demo Today
By brutal, do you mean difficult? If so, nope.
Re: Talking Point: So, Are You Buying Mafia: The Old Country On Xbox At Its $50 Price Point?
Two questions:
1. Will it be a good game? (unlikely)
2. Will it be frustratingly hard? (likely)
So, no.

Why would I download it now though? I'll download it on the 26th. lol.
Re: Halo Infinite Fall Update 2025 Launches This Week, And It's Packed With 'Major Game Updates'

Re: Hideo Kojima Says We're Either Going To Love Or Hate His Xbox-Published Game 'OD'
Not a fan. I'm going to hate this one, no doubt. lol.
Re: Talking Point: So, What Other PS5 Games Do You Want To See Come To Xbox?
I don't. I think Playstation games should stay on my PS5 pro and Xbox games should stay on my Series X.
Re: Xbox Will Apparently Announce More PS5 & Switch 2 Ports 'In The Coming Weeks'
If it's Halo, I'm done permanently with Xbox. the announcement of Gears going to the PS5 was the first mistake for me personally. I no longer have Game Pass because of that. Loyalty is obviously a thing of the past. Halo being ported would be the end for me.
Re: Battlefield 6 Price & Release Date Leak Ahead Of 2025 Xbox Launch
@Trmn8r Yes, but they were planning to launch games at $80 this holiday season. Just the mention of it is not good.
Re: Battlefield 6 Price & Release Date Leak Ahead Of 2025 Xbox Launch
$80 games? Lol. That's cute. Yeah, no.
Re: Talking Point: As A Game Pass Subscriber, Do You Still Spend Money In Xbox Sales?

Re: Avowed Update 1.5 Now Live, Obsidian Confirms Major Fall 2025 Patch Still On Track

Re: Poll: Which Of Xbox's Fall 2025 Games Are You Most Excited About?
Call of Duty, the most hated game that literally everyone buys and plays. lol. Seriously though, none of these games appeal to me.
Re: These Eight Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (July 17-August 1)
Robocop is a great game.
Re: ASUS Seems To Have Accidentally Leaked The ROG Xbox Ally Prices (In Europe)
I wouldn't buy one of these for half the price.
Re: Talking Point: After Almost Two Years, How Do You Feel About Xbox's Starfield In 2025?
I tried multiple times to get into it and it just seemed unfinished. But, I'm sure when it comes out for the PS5, it will be a perfect 10.
Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite Backwards Compatible Xbox Game?
Manhunt, Max Payne, May Payne 2, the first three Splinter Cell games, F.E.A.R., Far Cry. I seem to always be playing one of these.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 5-6)
@galson Exactly how I feel. I've been looking for games to play on my PS5 pro. For me, my Game Pass subscription expires in two days. Definitely not renewing it right now. Maybe one day. Doubt it though.
Re: 'Ultimate Chicken Horse' Is Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (July 3)
Looks fun, but incredibly hard. "Intense video game platforming."
I'll pass.

Re: Helldivers 2 Is Officially Releasing For Xbox This August
Does anyone care at this point? I feel like this could have been cool to play on day one. Hard pass for me. Cheers to whoever is going to buy this.
