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.
Every single western person laid off will be replaced by cheap Indian labor.
This is just the modern day sweat shoppifying of the gaming industry.
All these big mega corps will just outsource their work to South America, India and China. You can pay poorer third world country people pennies instead of first world wages and all the benefits.
All your clothes and electronics are made by slave labor for pennies on the dollar. And so too are they making the moves to sweatshop your videogames.
@smellyplaymarky really? You gave it that little chance? It takes a few hours to even grasp all the controls and the camera. You need to "let it cook" as gen z would say.

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.

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

Re: Bella Ramsey Leads The Cast In New Co-Op Chicken Run Game For Xbox
From Mel Gibson to Bella Ramsey is quite depressing
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.

Re: Xbox President 'Delighted' To Join Board Of Directors At Tyson Foods

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: Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival Announced For Xbox, And It's 'Closer Than You'd Think'
Doug Bradley's voiced is totally unrecognizable it seems.
Re: Poll: What Are Your First Impressions Of RoboCop On Xbox Game Pass?
These devs NEED to do a Judge Dredd game pronto. Right now. Immediately.
Re: 50+ Games Are Reduced By 90-95% In This Year's Xbox Summer Sale
It's the same ***** every single time. It's the same games that go on sale every year.
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
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: 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
Re: Perfect Dark Developer Responds To 'Big Controversy' Over 2024 Gameplay Trailer
"Theres some fake stuff in it"
Stopped reading right there.
Re: DOOM Co-Creator Has Funding Pulled For AAA Title, Seemingly By Xbox
It seems like modern game development just isn't viable anymore.
Re: Perfect Dark Gameplay Trailer Wasn't 'Indicative' Of Its Progress, Claims Reporter
That was my thoughts when I saw the reveal. It looked totally fake.
Re: State Of Decay 3 Has Gone Quiet, But Apparently It's Safe At Xbox
Fabe, Perfect Dark and State of Decay are vaporware.
Re: Two More Xbox Games Are Being Cancelled, Including Perfect Dark
What a ***** disaster.
Is State of Decay and Fable also never coming out? Why do games take so long to make these days? What's the excuse?
Re: Remedy 'Hoped' For A Better FBC: Firebreak Launch, But Game Pass Is Helping
Ugly stupid game nobody asked for.
Too many games being greenlit that have no chance of success.

It was always vaporware
Re: Ex Blizzard Boss Thinks Microsoft Should Pick Its Xbox Strategy And 'Stick To It'
If they made all their software Xbox exclusive it would single handedly turn the entire brand around.
Want to play doom, halo, Minecraft, Forza, call of duty? Get an Xbox. Simple as.
Re: Abiotic Factor Brings Its Amazing Multiplayer Survival Game To Xbox Game Pass In July
I watched a trailer for this earlier today and it just said PC and I went "aww man this looked cool I wish it was on xbox 😧"
Well, I didn't know it was and Gamepass too! Epic!
Re: Nightdive Studios Teases 'Big Thing' Happening At QuakeCon 2025
Could be Heretic and Hexen as MS now own the rights to those series.
Heretic 2 and Hexen 2 would be sick but the first games would make more sense.
Re: Ark 2 Developer Admits It Could Be Years Before It Releases On Xbox & Game Pass
The game was never real to begin with

Doesn't this game have like 100 players on steam lol
Re: Rematch Is 'Driving Me Crazy' Because Of Selfish Teammates, Say Frustrated Players
@smellyplaymarky really? You gave it that little chance? It takes a few hours to even grasp all the controls and the camera. You need to "let it cook" as gen z would say.
Re: Rematch Is 'Driving Me Crazy' Because Of Selfish Teammates, Say Frustrated Players
No idea how people are passing so accurately to each other. For me passing is incredibly difficult.
Re: Poll: How Are You Getting On With FBC: Firebreak On Xbox Game Pass?
Giga flop. Sad.
