I think an exception has to be made for last gen this time around. It's only recently that Series X is becoming somewhat available in stores. Also the fact that you can play a lot of next gen games through the cloud on your Xbox One means it could be a viable platform for a long time to come for some people.
Pretty sad that people can't say they enjoy a game anymore without getting abuse. Similar thing happened me on reddit for saying I was loving the game still. Let people enjoy what they enjoy.
Fairly sure this exact news story was doing the rounds a year ago. Can't wait to read it again next year. Its like the Switch Pro rumours. If you keep guessing the same thing over and over again you might eventually be right. They'll do anything for clicks.
@Korgon I've found if you stay off the forums for this game, you enjoy it a lot more. Some people love to complain. It's honestly the most fun I've had playing a game in years.
What do people expect? It's an online game so naturally it's going to kick you out of the server. Any game like that I always just quit completely out of it when finished.
It's a quality game, worked my way up to chapter 11 over the weekend. Enjoying the story and performances more than the movies. And I'm a big fan of the movies.
Played a tonne of Guardians of the Galaxy. Up to chapter 11, love it. Also tried out a bit of F1 21. Not much of an upgrade from the previous version. But still a solid racer.
@BrilliantBill I'm lucky in that I only pay for Netflix. I have access to Disney+ and Amazon for free through certain tricks. So it's not so bad. I'll see if I can get P+ for free somehow too.
I think I'm the only person that doesn't use Quick Resume. My OCD likes to have all games closed when I'm finished. Don't like the idea of games running for days on end in the background. Does it affect playtime values if you leave a game for days suspended?
I feel this is a few years too late. Now that the Codemasters F1 game has a career mode where you can create your own team and manage it is here, this has kinda missed the boat.
No need. Way too expensive but I've more than enough room on internal memory to keep me going. I move games on to a regular hard drive when I'm not using them for overflow and last gen games are stored on that too.
Geoff says a thing after it has been anounced by Sony that a thing is happening. Thanks Geoff. Looking forward to your message of "More games to be released this year".
I was a big fan of the band specific games. Owned the Greenday and Metallica ones as well as The Beatles Rock Band game. Still have my Guitar Hero Metallica guitar in the attic and it works.

It's good fun, especially when playing with friends and you can properly make a strategy.

Never touched the series before. Might give this one a try though.

@Korgon I've found if you stay off the forums for this game, you enjoy it a lot more. Some people love to complain. It's honestly the most fun I've had playing a game in years.

Great for people in those 5 countries.
Re: Halo Infinite 2022 Roadmap Released, Campaign Co-Op Targeting August
People on reddit not happy about another 6 month season. Personally not bothered. Really enjoying the game.
Re: YouTuber Angry Joe Threatens To Take CBS To Court Over Halo Dispute
Won't someone please think of the influencers.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 16-17)
Just started Quantum Break.
Re: Talking Point: What Have You Bought In The Xbox Spring Sale 2022?
Too many games on Gamepass to play as it is for me to be spending more money on games.
Re: Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy Is 'Finding An Audience' Thanks To Xbox Game Pass
So glad it came to Gamepass. If they made a sequel I would definitely buy it.
Re: Deals: Xbox Spring Sale 2022 Now Live, 500+ Games Discounted
Nothing for me on that list. Gamepass has dulled my appetite for sales.
Re: Bethesda Says 'Players Are Going To Lose Their Minds' Over Starfield
Ah yes. And Cyberpunk "looked great" on last gen consoles. I'll believe it when I see it. These kinda statements mean nothing.
Re: Xbox Reportedly Paid '$5-10 Million' For Guardians Of The Galaxy On Game Pass
It's a quality game, worked my way up to chapter 11 over the weekend. Enjoying the story and performances more than the movies. And I'm a big fan of the movies.

Re: 343 'Very Excited' To Unleash New Halo Infinite Multiplayer Content
@Rural-Bandit in in the same boat. Loving it. Only the 2nd ever Halo game I've ever played and I'm loving it m
Re: Reminder: You Can Now Watch Halo On Paramount With Free Game Pass Perk
Not available in my country. Time to hit the high seas.
Re: Feature: 30 Xbox Series X|S Games To Look Forward To In 2022
That's a lot of Gamepass games. Sweet!
Re: Talking Point: How Many Games Have You Bought In 2022 So Far?
None at all. Plenty on Gamepass for me.
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Are Saying About The Halo TV Show
@MattWithoutFear I'm assuming it will come to Now TV too so since that's owned by Sky. Nice one, thanks.
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Are Saying About The Halo TV Show
@fox_mattcloud I asked this on another page here. Apparently Paramount+ is coming to UK in the summer. So legally you can't watch it until the summer.
Re: Halo's Live-Action Scores Second Official Trailer, Here's A Look
@BrilliantBill I'm lucky in that I only pay for Netflix. I have access to Disney+ and Amazon for free through certain tricks. So it's not so bad. I'll see if I can get P+ for free somehow too.
Re: Halo's Live-Action Scores Second Official Trailer, Here's A Look
@BrilliantBill Thanks for the info. Great, another streaming service to subscribe to. Just what the world needed.
Re: Halo's Live-Action Scores Second Official Trailer, Here's A Look
Anyone know what service this is coming to in UK or Ireland? Or will I have to sail the high seas to watch this?
Re: Rumour: These Nine Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (March 15-31)
F1 21, sweet. Played the hell out of F1 20 and loved it. Looking forward to jumping back in.
Re: Talking Point: Are You Enjoying Guardians Of The Galaxy On Xbox Game Pass?
Loving it. Didn't think I'd like the characters as much as the MCU versions but they're great.
Re: Quick Resume And Share Button Changes Headline March Xbox Update
I think I'm the only person that doesn't use Quick Resume. My OCD likes to have all games closed when I'm finished. Don't like the idea of games running for days on end in the background. Does it affect playtime values if you leave a game for days suspended?
Re: Reminder: Halo Infinite's Latest Free Multiplayer Event Is Now Live
Tactical Slayer, no thanks! Back to the campaign I go.
Re: Sea Of Thieves Season Six Officially Launches March 10
@sixrings thanks for the offer but I wouldn't be able to commit to it. And I don't always get to play with headset on either. Thanks though.
Re: Forza Motorsport Will Be A Big Focus For Xbox in 2022, It's Claimed
"Jeff thinks that Xbox will have the usual big E3 showcase this year".
That's a huge call Jeff. Does Jeff also predict there will be more games released on Gamepass this year?
Re: F1 Manager 2022 Is Coming To Xbox This Summer With F1, F2 And F3 Content
I feel this is a few years too late. Now that the Codemasters F1 game has a career mode where you can create your own team and manage it is here, this has kinda missed the boat.
Re: Sea Of Thieves Season Six Officially Launches March 10
@AFCC Same. Looks cool but I don't have any mates playing it so I'd be playing solo.
Re: Hardware Review: xScreen For Xbox Series S - A Brilliant Plug-And-Play Companion
Na, xcloud has removed a need for this for me.
Re: Talking Point: Have You Bought An Xbox Series X|S Expansion Card Yet?
No need. Way too expensive but I've more than enough room on internal memory to keep me going. I move games on to a regular hard drive when I'm not using them for overflow and last gen games are stored on that too.
Re: Talking Point: How Useful Do You Find Quick Resume On Xbox Series X|S?
Never use it personally
Re: Could Street Fighter 6 Be Officially Unveiled This Weekend?
@Trmn8r This is the big question, exclusive or not. I've never played a Street Fighter game really so hopefully it comes to XBOX.
Re: Report: Halo Infinite Partly To Blame For Battlefield 2042's Poor Reception, Says EA
Maybe release games in a better state than half-baked?
Re: These Eight Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (February 15-28)
About to jump into Mass Effect for the first time ever now that it's available on the cloud too.
Re: Talking Point: How Good Of A Start Has Xbox Game Pass Had In 2022?
A for me. Grear variety of games and some absolute bangers in there.
Re: Major Gaming Deals Are In The 'Final Stages Of Negotiations', Says Geoff Keighley

Re: Sony Acquiring Bungie For $3.6 Billion, Studio Will Remain Multiplatform
I need to setup a game studio. These companies are buying anything that moves these days. 😄
Re: Halo TV Series Arrives This March, Watch The Official Trailer
Looking forward to seeing it. Just wondering what platform it will come to since Paramount+ isn't available in my country without using VPN.
Re: Guess What, Everyone's Criticising Xbox Games With Gold Again
Not really bothered. I've enough to play on Gamepass as is.
Re: Soapbox: Bring Back Guitar Hero On Xbox Game Pass For The Emo Teen Parties
