I thought Midnight Suns was coming to Game Pass finally... I really do feel like that will happen eventually. Probably when all the DLC is out it will make its way to Game Pass.
@CaptainCluck Relaunch with a whole new single player??
That would just be a new game at that point haha. Agreed that they really should cut the seasons though and just call everything up to this point in Halo Infinite, "Early Access". The game certainly was not finished when they launched it... and the rate at which they are releasing MP maps, I feel like most games in early access put out maps at the same pace or faster than what Halo Infinite has been able to do sadly.
Can people just drop the whole "They didn't add Split Screen Co-Op!"... None of you were going to actually play split screen, who the hell wants to play with their screen all smushed like that?? Halo Infinite is pretty much a free game (with Game Pass), So just play with your friend on your own screens and use a mic... You do that with every other game. We have came A LONG WAY since Halo Combat Evolved, where split screen was a very regular thing. Back then we did not even have online multiplayer. We were playing those Blood Gulch rounds split screen using a quarter of the screen, or over a system link if you were really fancy with it.
No way would we play Multiplayer with only a quarter of the screen nowadays. People still b*tching about this whole co-op split screen sh*t, are the same ones crying that Halo should not have running in it haha
Yeah I got a PS5 about two months ago, I couldn't pass it up when I saw it for $50 for the God of War edition and it was actually in stock at my local Target.
Seeing as I have not had a PlayStation since the PS3 and I really mostly played my Xbox 360, PS+ is actually a really good service for me. I am catching up on a decade of exclusives that I have never played. All my other homies who have had PlayStation this whole time have already played all those games and are not nearly as happy with it as I am.
Also if you are planning on getting a PS5 anytime soon.... Get it this week. They are in stock everywhere and they are about to discontinue the PS Classics collection or whatever it is called really soon, On the 9th I believe. It has 25 of the best PS games, almost all exclusives, and if you claim the games before they take it away you get to keep the games as long as you as subscribed to PS+.
I dont really recall if the frame rate is actually something most games even put on the back of the box... is it a normal piece of info? Cause for 90%+ of people who actually pick up any game, they dont flip the box over looking for a frame rate number haha. They want a short concise summary of what the game is and how many players can play it or if it needs online or whatever.
@BRT15 Haven't we all come to realize that even with these new game engines that supposedly cut down dev time, that games are still taking 4 to 5 years to create right now? So why would we be judging Xbox on anything Bethesda has done yet, pretty much going to need to wait to the end of this generation before we actually get a feel for how Xbox is really running Bethesda
I have a PS5 as well as a Series X, and this demo actually really brought down my excitement for this game. The trailers n stuff have looked so cool and fun to me. But after playing the demo, I do not like the open world part of the game very much at all. And then playing the game traditionally, it just feels the same as always and with all of the great games coming out around the same time, I think I will wait for a nice sale.
@GADG3Tx87 You may say "it is just a demo, a week delay on a demo" But that is exactly what Playstation has been b*tching about for the last year and a half. That Xbox would start doing things like this with Call Of Duty... Yet PS does this stuff all the time.
Very recently PS also got the Resident Evil 4 Remake demo before Xbox. And if you think that Playstation did not pay for the opportunity to have these demos on their platform first... Then you really are just in denial haha.
For just how much everyone hated the Rainbow Six Extraction game, I some how found a good handful of hours of entertainment from that thing.
You definitely had to play it completely stealth. Like smoke a bowl or two and get incredibly into the game.
I feel like I saw it on sale from Game Fly for less than $10 the other day, I wanna say like $6.50 or something haha. I honestly would think about picking it up for just a change of pace game once in a blue moon. But I fee like it must be pretty difficult finding games nowadays.
I got intothe beta, just waiting on an email. Ill check soon, and I do not expect to like this game at all. But will be entertaining for a few minutes im sure
motion blur off, High Refresh rate on right stick dead zone 5 y axis sensitivity 40 camera aimimg 40 bow drawn 20 camera accelleration 100 camera decelleration 50
This fixed the control feeling so unwieldy n weightless at times. Much better n more playable now, hope this helps.
@xboxjapanfan He joined Halo infinite about 6 months before the game was initially going to release. Then they pushed it a year. When Halo Infinite first came out it was not already in flames as you say. It got good metacritic scores and the majority of players thought the MP felt better than it had since the original trilogy.
With this being the first announcement and it only being made by 2 people presently... This game is for sure not going to be coming out this year. You can bet on that. So hopefully we hear something about a Game Pass deal when we actually get closer to the game launching
@UltimateOtaku91 I wouldn't say 100% on Game Pass... Specially with it being a single player game, if it was PvP and Xbox console exclusive... I think 100% it would be on XGP
@Discostew Also the best/quickest way to get the 150 points for Bing searches is to just search for something like, "Art". Then when it shows the results, click on "Images" instead of the normal search. While searching things under images, you can just click on the different things at the top that are related searches.... Such as, when searching Art first, you will have the choicess of "Blue Art", "Modern Art", "Large Art"... Stuff like that. Then just keep clicking on those different options. It usually takes me like 2 minutes to get the 150 points done, then I do it on my phone for the other 100. Presented.
@Discostew That happens from time to time on my Series X and I usually have to close all the apps and restart my console. Then when its back on I open the Rewards App, if it still isn't giving me the points, I will close the app and then it usually works the next time I open it. I guess you could try restarting the console or holding the power button for 5 seconds to fully reboot the system and clear the cache if it still isn't working.
Wow holy hell... There are sooo many comments on this article. I was reading them but after about 7 I scrolled and saw just how many there are and was like, Yeahhhh I am not going to read all these to make sure I don't comment on something someone else already commented on haha.
BUTTTT... Long story short. Quantum Break is only leaving Game Pass (when normally Xbox first party games/exclusives do not leave Game Pass) because the game as a whole is GETTING DE-LISTED FROM THE STORE.
So Xbox can't really leave the game on Xbox Game Pass when it is about to not even be available for purchase at all.
I could go more into detail, but in order to not write a novel sized comment. It's simple as that, the game will no longer be available on Xbox at all, so of course it will no longer be available on game pass.
For all the people complaining that they are shrinking the rewards or whatever... Yes I have noticed that things like Game Pass Ultimate have started costing 2 thousand more credits I believe (14k instead of 12k)... So if that is what you are going to for sure be redeeming your monthly Rewards point on then it is best to sign up for the "Auto Redeem" feature... It makes it the cheapest amount possible. You do have to sign up a month ahead of time though.
But as someone who recently just picked up a PS5 (on sale and directly from a store!! No scalper BS) MS Rewards points is sooooo much better than what they have going on over there haha. We should all be very grateful. They don't even have good sh*t to redeem if you do somehow accumulate a lot of points.
@WallyWest Seeing as you know your video games industry history so well (even though that Marvel news was a recent headline that is now widely known). Then you would realize that during that time Xbox had 5 studios but even out of those five most of those were dedicated studios to particular game franchises, like Halo Gears of War, etc.
Xbox would not have done a SpiderMan game justice the way Insomniac has. So making it seem like Xbox made a bone head decision by not taking Marvel up on making that game, really their was no real decision. Xbox did not have the studio to even produce it at the time. Things would be a lot different now, but even so, Xbox has made it clear how much they value actually owning the IP they are making games for. That is why we do not have a Rise Son of Rom 2, because Xbox does not own the IP
And if PlayStation would have bought Bethesda... Do we expect them to keep making the games in mid development for Xbox as well?? With the way they make their marketing deals usually involve some sort of exclusive content for PlayStation... I highly doubt they would be releasing any games for Xbox.
Xbox not buying their way out of the Ghostwire and Death Loop contracts and publishing those games exclusively for PS while making Xbox wait a year to get those games... That showed enough humility and respect in my book. I just have a real hard time thinking PS would have done the same.
@themightyant GTames that say, "Install to: included with GOLD" Are not games that you own yet... They are games that are available to claim for free because you are an Xbox Gold Member. As this article states though, most of the time, those game are only free for a short amount of time.
@shoeses look at my comment above this, dont buy into the BS that the Series S is so much harder to develop for. Its not the lowest spec and its not a potato
I can see the headlines already... Developers are going to be b*tcvhing about "ALL OF THE DAMN SKU'S THEY HAVE TO DEVELOP FOR!!"
LoL I swear that is all a bunch of BS. If they did not make these games for PC as well as console, where they have to be compatible with a whole mess of different spec'd machines.
PC is always the lowest spec, even lower than the "potato" Series S (joking obviously) and you never hear them complain about having to make games for PC... at least not like they do for the Series S anyways haha.
@Utena-mobile Multiversus move set was confusing to you?? Hahaha uhhh what the heck, I suggest you dont really play any fighter game whatsoever then. Multiversus has like 3 moves per character.
Wow that trailer video got me pretty excite to try this this weekend. Thank You Pure Xbox for letting everyoen know about this or I am sure i woulda missed out on the Beta.
@somnambulance Wait so is your comment saying that you are not happy with Game Pass right now??? Besides the couple of games, do take in mind that we got Atomic Heart and Wo Long to start off this month.
I feel like Game Pass has been adding a few less games per month, but the quality has been higher than last year imho.
@Kaloudz I fully agree that the first Nino Kuni was a great game, I was stoked that it was not a full on turned based game. I was really hypedfor the sequel at first too, but I have only heard that the second one is not near as good unfortunately. I am stoked I get to try it out for myself and for "free".
I am really looking forward to Valheim on console though most. I have been keen on trying this game since its huge buzz on the PC when it first launched like a year ago.
Yeah that sounds like a good idea, But I bet the game devs themselves have only known about this desicion for a short amount of time. When a product starts costing you more than it is making you gotta make changes.
It sucks because I thought this was a really cool game and played a fair amount when it first launched. But I remember after taking a few weeks off and then getting back on, just getting my a** waxed. Haha It was a really cool idea though and they implemented the mechanics very well. Probably was a pretty hard game to go from concept to actual game.
If anyone from the Studio sees this, I am looking forward to seein what your next project is and I wish you luck!
This game looks like hawt garb imo... If games like Rumble Verse did not even make it a full year as a live service game... This POS wont either even with Game Pass hahaha. I am being hyperbolic... but yeah this game looks like shat. Thank god we can play it for free, and mindless games can still be fun and have their time and place so I appreciate it as more content in game pass... Just wouldnt call it high quality content.
@Chaudy Yeahhh I just beat Atomic Shart tonight and it was the *****. I dont care what those other reviewers were syaing... I mean whoever called Atomic Shart a Souls like... They need to get their Expert Gamers card revoked haha. Their really is no souls like energy to this game in my honest opinion. It is a action RPG with a bunch of fun/cool talent trees to fill in. I would give the game a solid 8.5, and all the people crying at the dialogue of the main protagonist like it was the worst writing and voice acting ever... Go play that recent Final Fantasy game with Limp Biscut hahaha now that is real cringe dialogue.
@KonstantTrouble Yeah I didnt say that you preached or lectured them at all, and I hope I didnt come across as saying that you did. My main thought was that it could have been dumb and cringey doing that, but actually that was really cool of you and this game will always have the thought that someone cool gave them a copy for free.. Not some BS Media transphobia crap. You gave them a muuuuch better thought and experience to attach to that thought of that game.
@Kaloudz "Its VRs Mario 64 moment" Hahaha Have you tried it yet? I am going to take that as obviously not and aregoing by someones headline. It is NO WHERE NEAR being able to call it that. Mario 64 ushered in 3D gaming to the main stream and was a benchmark moment in gaming history really. PSVR2... well it just is not close to that level. The lackluster amount of games and with nothing big to even be looking forward to right now besides RE4 is a major part of that. (Also, RE4 is already out on the Quest2 and yes it may not be this new version, it still is the classic "best RE game" in VR and has been on the Quest 2 for like 8 months or something already)
Sony has had a couple shows that have showed like 4 or 5 VR games off in them each but besides Horizon their has really been no first party epic games for the player base to even be looking forward to. And IMHO, someone who has had VR for years and has a huge library of games, Horizon VR was not the hit that Sony needed it to be. The visuals are nice, but their is no breakthrough game mechanics that will make your jaw drop or make the player feel like "now this is why I spent another $600 on this headset". I am still very curious to see how much Sony really supports the thing, seeing as Horizon was not even fully made by a first party studio, I think Gorilla just partnered on it. I want to see that PS has a handful of first party studios working on major games, like Half Life Alex level games for the thing.
When they literally omitted Beat Saber from the launch line up, that just makes you wonder if this thing is truly something PS themselves really are backing 100%
@WallyWest "Xbox players only caring about a game if it is on Game Pass" Yeah that simply is a narrative completely made up by your own thoughts or media. I have 18 people online right now on my friends list.... and 3 of them are playing Game Pass games. ! on Grounded, 1 on Madden 23, and 1 on Sea of Thieves. I am currently playing Dead Space as well. Their are A LOT of good games out right now. The majority of people on my friends list are playing Hogwarts still. So yes I have been "burned" by buying a game that came to Game Pass weeks later (It Takes 2), and I was a tad bit reserved on buying games when that happened. But at the same time, When Game Pass is hitting and I feel like I am getting a lot of great games for "free", I end up going big on one of the what feels like non stop sales going on in the game store. I have bought 5 games in the last 2 weeks. A lot of them older games but still l really do disagree with the narrative that people dont buy games and just wait for them to come to game pass on Xbox. If it is an EA game, well then yeah, you know it will come eventually. Other than EA games and ones that are announced way ahead of time, I personally do not count on them to come to Game Pass. If I buy them and they do, well then I will have more friends to play it with is my take on it now. I bought it cause I really wanted to play it.
@KonstantTrouble Damn, even though I got the game through game sharing and in essence got it free. It would have made my day if I would have gotten a copy of the game from you, as I was going to Game Stop most likely to pick up a copy too. So I gotta say, at first my thought was... That is a little dramatic to actually do something like that over all this BS drama. BUT then after another second of thought. It is actually pretty damn cool that you gave those five people extremely happy and positive thoughts now when they think about Hog Leg, instead of any of the BS drama that unfortunately surrounds the game. That was really cool of you!
LOL YEAH THE DIFFICULTY IS ALREADY GETTINHG TO ME. I TOOK A TRIP TO NEW ZEALAND TODAYAND GOT TO THE FIRST BOSS WITHOUT DYING, N ONCE I DIED WHEN I WAS SO CLOSE TO BEATING HIM TOO!
This game is pretty damn hard, I can see a ton of people playing it on Game Pass and bouncing right off because the difficulty. I hope I personally have the patients to get through it haha
@KaijuKaiser I get that you still live off your parents and have no real perspective of bills and money management. We were all there once. But if you are old enough to feel like commenting on articles on an Xbox -centric website, PURE XBOX, when you are obviously a PlayStation fan. The only people who talk ***** about other people getting the most out of their money are PlayStation fans. Why? Because Sony is not even subtle when it comes to them taking full advantage over their user-base and their wallets. So, they feel necessary to justify their blatant disregard for their own spending habits and stupidity, by calling people who actually think about getting the most bang for their buck, by calling them "brokies". LoL That is by far the most immature and pathetic way of putting someone else down. When in reality, wasting your money on ***** that other people are getting for a better price, does not make you better in anyway. It makes you ignorant, and flat out stupid if you feel like spending more for the same product makes you superior in anyway haha. Get a life. As someone who has a career and makes plenty of money to buy any video game or video game related product on the market, and I have way more than I need (Series X, PS5, Switch, Gaming computer with a VR set up). But if bought all of that at full price or on sale, it doesn't matter to anyone else. Just my own personal bank account. So you valuing that you spend more than others on video games... I am sorry to inform ya son, and I get living in your parents' extra bedroom makes it not really even matter for your adolescent ass. But some day, you will realize that girls are not going to like you more because you have a PS5 LoL. So instead of calling other people "Brokies" go get a job, work towards something real. Better yourself instead of comparing yourself to others. Cause this just in, no matter who you are, you aren't ***** compared to someone else who wipes their ass with more money than you have ever had in your life. Perspective is everything.

Re: Reaction: Should Xbox Produce A Mid-Gen Upgrade If Sony Launches 'PS5 Pro'?
I can see the headlines already...
Developers are going to be b*tcvhing about "ALL OF THE DAMN SKU'S THEY HAVE TO DEVELOP FOR!!"
LoL I swear that is all a bunch of BS. If they did not make these games for PC as well as console, where they have to be compatible with a whole mess of different spec'd machines.
PC is always the lowest spec, even lower than the "potato" Series S (joking obviously) and you never hear them complain about having to make games for PC... at least not like they do for the Series S anyways haha.

Multiversus move set was confusing to you?? Hahaha uhhh what the heck, I suggest you dont really play any fighter game whatsoever then. Multiversus has like 3 moves per character.

Re: These Six Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (March 7-21)
@somnambulance
Wait so is your comment saying that you are not happy with Game Pass right now???
Besides the couple of games, do take in mind that we got Atomic Heart and Wo Long to start off this month.
I feel like Game Pass has been adding a few less games per month, but the quality has been higher than last year imho.

@Kaloudz
I fully agree that the first Nino Kuni was a great game, I was stoked that it was not a full on turned based game. I was really hypedfor the sequel at first too, but I have only heard that the second one is not near as good unfortunately. I am stoked I get to try it out for myself and for "free".
I am really looking forward to Valheim on console though most. I have been keen on trying this game since its huge buzz on the PC when it first launched like a year ago.
Re: Former Xbox Game Pass Time-Loop Shooter 'Lemnis Gate' Shutting Down
Yeah that sounds like a good idea, But I bet the game devs themselves have only known about this desicion for a short amount of time. When a product starts costing you more than it is making you gotta make changes.
It sucks because I thought this was a really cool game and played a fair amount when it first launched. But I remember after taking a few weeks off and then getting back on, just getting my a** waxed. Haha It was a really cool idea though and they implemented the mechanics very well. Probably was a pretty hard game to go from concept to actual game.
If anyone from the Studio sees this, I am looking forward to seein what your next project is and I wish you luck!
Re: Capcom Dino Shooter 'Exoprimal' Launches On Xbox Game Pass This July
This game looks like hawt garb imo... If games like Rumble Verse did not even make it a full year as a live service game... This POS wont either even with Game Pass hahaha. I am being hyperbolic... but yeah this game looks like shat. Thank god we can play it for free, and mindless games can still be fun and have their time and place so I appreciate it as more content in game pass... Just wouldnt call it high quality content.
Re: Atomic Heart Release Date, Release Times & Preload Details On Xbox Game Pass
@Chaudy
Yeahhh I just beat Atomic Shart tonight and it was the *****. I dont care what those other reviewers were syaing... I mean whoever called Atomic Shart a Souls like... They need to get their Expert Gamers card revoked haha. Their really is no souls like energy to this game in my honest opinion. It is a action RPG with a bunch of fun/cool talent trees to fill in. I would give the game a solid 8.5, and all the people crying at the dialogue of the main protagonist like it was the worst writing and voice acting ever... Go play that recent Final Fantasy game with Limp Biscut hahaha now that is real cringe dialogue.
Re: New Hogwarts Legacy Patch Now Live On Xbox Series X|S, Here's What's Included
@KonstantTrouble
Yeah I didnt say that you preached or lectured them at all, and I hope I didnt come across as saying that you did. My main thought was that it could have been dumb and cringey doing that, but actually that was really cool of you and this game will always have the thought that someone cool gave them a copy for free.. Not some BS Media transphobia crap. You gave them a muuuuch better thought and experience to attach to that thought of that game.
Re: Lots Of New Xbox Games Get Release Dates At Nacon Connect 2023

Re: Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League Shows Off Its Frantic Gameplay, Coming To Xbox This May

"Its VRs Mario 64 moment"
Hahaha Have you tried it yet? I am going to take that as obviously not and aregoing by someones headline. It is NO WHERE NEAR being able to call it that. Mario 64 ushered in 3D gaming to the main stream and was a benchmark moment in gaming history really.
PSVR2... well it just is not close to that level.
The lackluster amount of games and with nothing big to even be looking forward to right now besides RE4 is a major part of that. (Also, RE4 is already out on the Quest2 and yes it may not be this new version, it still is the classic "best RE game" in VR and has been on the Quest 2 for like 8 months or something already)
Sony has had a couple shows that have showed like 4 or 5 VR games off in them each but besides Horizon their has really been no first party epic games for the player base to even be looking forward to. And IMHO, someone who has had VR for years and has a huge library of games, Horizon VR was not the hit that Sony needed it to be. The visuals are nice, but their is no breakthrough game mechanics that will make your jaw drop or make the player feel like "now this is why I spent another $600 on this headset".
I am still very curious to see how much Sony really supports the thing, seeing as Horizon was not even fully made by a first party studio, I think Gorilla just partnered on it. I want to see that PS has a handful of first party studios working on major games, like Half Life Alex level games for the thing.
When they literally omitted Beat Saber from the launch line up, that just makes you wonder if this thing is truly something PS themselves really are backing 100%

"Xbox players only caring about a game if it is on Game Pass"
Yeah that simply is a narrative completely made up by your own thoughts or media. I have 18 people online right now on my friends list.... and 3 of them are playing Game Pass games. ! on Grounded, 1 on Madden 23, and 1 on Sea of Thieves. I am currently playing Dead Space as well. Their are A LOT of good games out right now. The majority of people on my friends list are playing Hogwarts still.
So yes I have been "burned" by buying a game that came to Game Pass weeks later (It Takes 2), and I was a tad bit reserved on buying games when that happened. But at the same time, When Game Pass is hitting and I feel like I am getting a lot of great games for "free", I end up going big on one of the what feels like non stop sales going on in the game store. I have bought 5 games in the last 2 weeks. A lot of them older games but still l really do disagree with the narrative that people dont buy games and just wait for them to come to game pass on Xbox.
If it is an EA game, well then yeah, you know it will come eventually. Other than EA games and ones that are announced way ahead of time, I personally do not count on them to come to Game Pass.
If I buy them and they do, well then I will have more friends to play it with is my take on it now. I bought it cause I really wanted to play it.
Re: New Hogwarts Legacy Patch Now Live On Xbox Series X|S, Here's What's Included
@KonstantTrouble
Damn, even though I got the game through game sharing and in essence got it free. It would have made my day if I would have gotten a copy of the game from you, as I was going to Game Stop most likely to pick up a copy too.
So I gotta say, at first my thought was... That is a little dramatic to actually do something like that over all this BS drama. BUT then after another second of thought.
It is actually pretty damn cool that you gave those five people extremely happy and positive thoughts now when they think about Hog Leg, instead of any of the BS drama that unfortunately surrounds the game. That was really cool of you!
Re: Review: Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty - Team Ninja Unleashes Its Finest Soulslike Experience Onto Xbox Game Pass

Re: Review: Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty - Team Ninja Unleashes Its Finest Soulslike Experience Onto Xbox Game Pass
This game is pretty damn hard, I can see a ton of people playing it on Game Pass and bouncing right off because the difficulty. I hope I personally have the patients to get through it haha
Re: Former PlayStation Exclusive 'Sifu' Finally Makes Its Xbox Debut This Month
@KaijuKaiser
I get that you still live off your parents and have no real perspective of bills and money management. We were all there once. But if you are old enough to feel like commenting on articles on an Xbox -centric website, PURE XBOX, when you are obviously a PlayStation fan.
The only people who talk ***** about other people getting the most out of their money are PlayStation fans. Why? Because Sony is not even subtle when it comes to them taking full advantage over their user-base and their wallets. So, they feel necessary to justify their blatant disregard for their own spending habits and stupidity, by calling people who actually think about getting the most bang for their buck, by calling them "brokies".
LoL That is by far the most immature and pathetic way of putting someone else down. When in reality, wasting your money on ***** that other people are getting for a better price, does not make you better in anyway. It makes you ignorant, and flat out stupid if you feel like spending more for the same product makes you superior in anyway haha.
Get a life.
As someone who has a career and makes plenty of money to buy any video game or video game related product on the market, and I have way more than I need (Series X, PS5, Switch, Gaming computer with a VR set up). But if bought all of that at full price or on sale, it doesn't matter to anyone else. Just my own personal bank account.
So you valuing that you spend more than others on video games... I am sorry to inform ya son, and I get living in your parents' extra bedroom makes it not really even matter for your adolescent ass. But some day, you will realize that girls are not going to like you more because you have a PS5 LoL.
So instead of calling other people "Brokies" go get a job, work towards something real. Better yourself instead of comparing yourself to others. Cause this just in, no matter who you are, you aren't ***** compared to someone else who wipes their ass with more money than you have ever had in your life.
Perspective is everything.
