My GPU runs out in 6 months. I will not be renewing. I'm not paying Microsoft $120 per year just to play online games(the lowest GP tier), so I'll be switching to Playstation for online play.
@Fiendish-Beaver It's a great game and a lot of fun. There are some toxic players, but the majority of the community is really helpful and welcoming to new players.
@Fiendish-Beaver I understand. I can hop between 1 or 2 games if they're from different genres, like NHL 26 and Helldivers 2. I'll probably be playing Helldivers 2 until Battlefield 6 comes out.
I'll be playing more Oblivion Remastered and I'm gonna try Revenge of the Savage Planet. I also still want to go back and finish Diablo 3. GP is killing it lately and Doom is coming this week
@IOI Gameplay wise, I thought Infinite was definitely a step in the right direction, but everything else was a huge letdown for me. The story just didn't click with me (hasn't since Halo 3) and the multiplayer was disappointingly shallow. I'm glad other people enjoyed it. It just did nothing for me unfortunately. I absolutely Halo 1-3 though 👍🏻
Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, Jade Empire, Ralisport Challenge 1&2 and I'll never forget the day Xbox Live launched. It's my favorite console.
@Wakkawipeout I don't think Ubisoft understands what people loved about a lot of their early games. For instance: They've been trying so hard to shoehorn Sam Fisher in every franchise except the one that matters most, Splinter Cell.
No actual treasure hunting, no swinmming or fishing, no sword or gunfights, no actual boarding ships(which I loved in Black Flag), and the character models and character creation was very disappointing. It absolutely felt like an unfinished AA game. Ubisoft has some gigantic ones to call this Quadruple A and charge $70.
I played over 100 hours and did really enjoy it at times, but this game should have been delayed another year. I ran into one serious bug that caused me to lose quite a bit of time. That was my biggest complaint, but mostly it just felt unfinished. All the things they are talking about adding should have been part of the game at launch. I have no desire to play again. It just doesn't have that "pull" like Oblivion, Skyrim or Fallout 3 & 4. I am a bit worried about ES6. Why can they not just use Unreal Engine? Is it an ego thing?
Right now, its third after Hogwart's Legacy and Remnant 2, but there's still quite a few games coming that I'm really looking forward to-Super Mario Wonder, Spider-Man 2, Forza, Avatar and AC Mirage.
@HonestHick I hope there's an option without the rubber grips on the bottom. That's really my only issue with the controller. Everything else sounds good.
@RIghteousNixon After the price hike, I'll only be subbing to GP Core and do my online gaming on Xbox.
My PS5 will strictly be used for exclusives. I have zero faith or interest in Playstation right now.

Re: Opinion: South Of Midnight Dev Could Become An Xbox Game Studios Gem
I really wanted to like the game, but I just couldn't get past the repetitive and boring combat/gameplay.
Re: Talking Point: How Excited Are You For A Potential Oblivion Remake This Month?
I never trust these kinds of rumors. I'll believe it when it's officially announced.
Re: Rumour: Halo's Leap To Other Platforms Might Be More Limited Than Expected
@nomither6 I thought it was OK. it wasn't bad, it just didn't connect with me.

Re: EA CEO 'Couldn't Be More Excited' About What The Team Is Making With Battlefield
@Fiendish-Beaver They say the same thing every time and it has sucked every time since BF1(in my opinion).

Re: Starfield Fails To Make Shortlist For 'Game Of The Year' At The Game Awards 2023
@evan23 Very well said. Exactly what I've been thinking after 100 hours or so.
Re: Starfield Fails To Make Shortlist For 'Game Of The Year' At The Game Awards 2023
@redd214 I agree. It's a good game and at times it's really good, but just not on the same level as the goty nominees.
