I'm dropping Ultimate and going down to Premium. £23 a month? Not a CHANCE. And I might even just drop down to Core next month if I find premium isn't even worth it
As for batteries I don't mind as I have both a set of rechargeable Eneloop batteries and a plug in battery pack.
But for the last few months I actually have just my Xbox controller directly plugged into my Xbox with nothing in the battery port at all. It's really nice how light the controller is like this and in my head, no proof or evidence whatsoever, it's faster less latency cus it's wired. Vroom vroom!
Very strange that my comment was censored and deleted. I just simply gave my view about how the Halo IP hasn't been able to maintain relevance in the modern gaming market which is simply a fact.
I enjoy Halo and played Infinite for years. Probably top 1% of people on this very site. Yet my comment gets wiped and deleted for not being super positive about the Halo franchise? What is there to be happy about exactly? It's been failure at every turn for the IP.
It's hilarious that every year at Quakecon, Elders Scrolls MMO and Fallout MMO get multiple hour panels and Halo.... An actial FPS game doesn't get any panel or any marketing..... At Quakecon. The fps convention.
This is the perfect thing to show off this big update to get people interested in playing if they never have before.
No because it would still have had the same crap developers and the same crap content and the same overpriced micro transactions and overpriced skins. The same ***** dripfed modes from the same ***** company.
All for an IP that isn't relevant anymore to anyone under 30.
Rematch just sold 1,000,000 copies despite being free on game pass.
If your game is good it will sell even if it's on game pass. If your game is an online multiplayer title then Game pass helps boost the player population + game pass money.

Re: Five Games Are Leaving Xbox Game Pass In Early November 2025
I only got charged £1 for gamepass premium (middle tier) last month. And it just auto renewed for another £1.
I don't really understand how or why but I sure as hell aren't going to tell Microsoft. Anyone else experiencing this?
Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon In November 2025
Surely worth the 50% price increase 😐
Re: Rumour: Halo 2 & 3 Remakes Are Supposedly Coming After Halo: Campaign Evolved
The game industry is just out of ideas.
Re: Xbox Confirms Its First Two Game Pass Titles For December 2025, And They Both Look Brilliant
@Michael2008ish that site is legit? How the hell is it so cheap? Woah.
Re: Xbox Confirms Its First Two Game Pass Titles For December 2025, And They Both Look Brilliant
You need to start clarifying if games are Ultimate or Premium tier cus I'm never ever paying £23 for ultimate.
Re: Is Xbox Down? Huge Azure Server Outage Causes Issues Across Microsoft Services
The 50% price increase for Gamepass and this is the result? Lol

Re: Xbox 'Magnus' Leak Suggests Next Console Will Be Powerful, Expensive & Maybe A Hybrid Device
I think I'll be sticking to my Series X for the next like..... Ten years thank you very much.
I will never spend £800 on a console.
Re: Strange Xbox Email Suggests Game Pass Price Increase Doesn't Apply To Certain Members
Great news to receive a week AFTER I dropped down a tier to premium that I could have just kept the original pricing. And now that's f####d.
Nice one Microsoft
Re: Talking Point: How Do You Feel About Ubisoft+ Classics Being Added To Game Pass Ultimate?
Awful. Nobody asked for this. Drove up the price.
Get rid.
Re: Xbox Fan Shares Their Concept For A Game Pass 'Select' Plan With Optional Add-Ons
Would never work cus NOBODY wants EA or Ubisoft or Fortnite lol
Hell, cut the Call of Duty games too I don't play those. Whatever deal they have with EA and Ubisoft is absolutely bloating the price.
Re: Xbox Ditches Majority Of Its Game Pass DLC Discounts As Part Of Service Revamp
Literally every single new bit of information gets worse and worse.
Re: Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Will Now Get 75+ Day One Titles Per Year, A '50% Increase' On Before
More amazing Day One titles like "Blornks Big Adventure DX" and "Indie Farming Sim #375"
Now doesn't the 50% price hike make sense?!
Re: Poll: What Are Your Plans For Xbox Game Pass After This Week's News?
How are people cancelling game pass when you need it for online? GP Core is Xbox live.
Re: Here's A Breakdown Of All The New Prices For Xbox Game Pass As Of October 2025
I'm dropping Ultimate and going down to Premium. £23 a month? Not a CHANCE. And I might even just drop down to Core next month if I find premium isn't even worth it
Re: Xbox Game Pass Is Getting A Major Overhaul With New Names, Games & Price Changes
Nope. This is what, the 4th increase in a year?
It's not worth it now. Will be getting whatever the lowest base sub is just for online. The Xbox live equivalent. ***** this *****.
Re: Avalanche Closing UK Studio Following Cancellation Of Xbox Exclusive Contraband
So, what, the next game they could possibly release would be in what.... 2031 or later?
Re: EA To Be Acquired By Consortium Of Investors For $55 Billion USD
When you think EA couldn't possibly get any worse......
Re: Gungrave GORE Blood Heat Brings 'Fully Rebuilt' Action-Shooter To Xbox Series X|S
They fully rebuilt a mediocre game from scratch.
But....... why? Why spend the time and resources to do this instead of just making a new game?
Re: Major Retailer Seemingly Clearing Out Xbox Series Stock In Certain Regions Right Now
Man, Xbox is dying/dead.
How they've handled this gen is absolutely shocking. Xbox means nothing as a brand anymore.
Re: Four Games Announced By New Blood Interactive For Xbox, Including Classic FPS 'Dusk'
Amid Evil and Dusk ***** rule.
I want Amid Evil on Switch tho

Re: Alinea Analytics Says Gears Reloaded Is Tracking Well Behind Forza Horizon 5 On PS5
This IP is just not relevant anymore. It's time to let it rest and move onto something else.
Re: Turok: Origins Dev Reveals Xbox Performance Targets, Admits 60FPS Is Too Difficult For Series S
I'm hoping for a Switch 2 version so if it's stuck at 30fps I'll just avoid it.
Re: Review: Gears Of War: Reloaded - An Xbox Classic That Flourishes On Modern Hardware
Why did this need to be made and not Gears 2?
Re: Shinobi: Art Of Vengeance Is One Of The Highest-Rated Xbox Games Of 2025
Everyone should play the 3DS Shinobi. Seriously overlooked and underappreciated

Re: Bella Ramsey Leads The Cast In New Co-Op Chicken Run Game For Xbox

Re: Poll: Should The Next Xbox Controller Support AA Batteries Again?
It NEEDS gyro.
As for batteries I don't mind as I have both a set of rechargeable Eneloop batteries and a plug in battery pack.
But for the last few months I actually have just my Xbox controller directly plugged into my Xbox with nothing in the battery port at all. It's really nice how light the controller is like this and in my head, no proof or evidence whatsoever, it's faster less latency cus it's wired. Vroom vroom!

Re: Halo Infinite Fall Update 2025 Launches This Week, And It's Packed With 'Major Game Updates'
@Elbow FPS game night not go over well with the audience? But Elder Scrolls and Fallout panels every year for the last 5 years is fine?

No because it would still have had the same crap developers and the same crap content and the same overpriced micro transactions and overpriced skins. The same ***** dripfed modes from the same ***** company.

Re: THPS 3+4 Has Some Amazing Mods If You're Playing On PC
Fans do this for free in their spare time in a handful of hours.
But AAA devs can't do it with huge budgets. Make it make sense.
Re: Oblivion Remastered Update 1.2 Adds New Difficulty Options, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I actually deleted the game because the difficulty balance is so insanely GARBAGE.
I'm very interested in this. I need numbers though. Why couldn't they clarify what the % are for each new difficulty?
Re: Is Xbox Game Pass Unsustainable? Arkane Founder Sparks Huge Debate On Social Media

If your game is good it will sell even if it's on game pass. If your game is an online multiplayer title then Game pass helps boost the player population + game pass money.
Re: Perfect Dark Actor Calls On Fans To 'Speak Up' And Help The Game Survive
These grifters are just happy their big easy pay day has been cut off. 5 years with nothing to show for it.
Too many game companies are being taking for a ride these days. 5/6/7+ year dev times is ludicrous
