Looks really great! So much better than I was expecting honestly. They really nailed the feeling of Halo with that trailer. Looks like i'm subscribing to Paramount Plus soon lol
I've only played a little, but I'm very impressed with it. The cutscenes are just incredible. So cinematic, and great cinematography and compositions. The gameplay of course is better than ever. I think when all is said and done it might be my favorite Halo campaign thus far.
I am so glad I didn't pick up Guardians of the Galaxy the other day. I'll definitely be picking up that, and possibly Tales of Arise. Some really great deals this year.
Very disappointing the service will be losing Destiny 2. I became really hooked on the game with the release of Beyond Light. I'll buy the bundle when Witch Queen releases., all my gaming time is reserved for Halo and Horizon 5 these days.
If I'm not playing MCC, then it's Psychonauts 2. I've never played the first one but I'm really enjoying number 2. I may even give Splitgate a try as well. Have a great weekend everyone.
These days it seems the "internet's" opinion of the Halo franchise swings wildly week to to week. I guess they all hate 343i again now, but one good bit of news Monday and it's their favorite game again.
This is what The Coalition did with Gears 5 and I really hated it lol. I never finished any of their battle passes because it was just too much of a hassle doing their stupid challenges. This is very disappointing.
@Vinsanity Exactly. It's so far from what I wanted from a sequel, it doesn't even resemble the original anymore. It still might be a hit, but will almost certainly just be another cut and paste open world Ubisoft game.
@CrazyJF Yeah it was a big disappointment too when they revealed it to be yet another open world game with a custom character. I'm still hopeful for this, but it's just been so long since anything substantial, I think their window of opportunity has passed.
Nothing really on the Xbox yet. Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart and Returnal have been my favorite games of the year by far. Forza Horizon 5 and Halo Infinite will no doubt join that list soon!
Death Stranding was one of my favorite games of last gen, and I can't wait to play the ps5 version. This is exciting news for Xbox. Hopefully this will also bring Death Stranding to GamePass along with whatever he's working on next.
@Snake_V5 I am not angry about this at all, and I just bought a Series S and plan to get an X in the future. I don't want to ever rely on internet speeds to stream my games. This is an amazing feature for people who have great connections, but for a lot of people they still just prefer a console. This opens the door for way more people playing Xbox games, which is only a good thing.
@JayJ Could not agree more. The ps4 has, and will continue to have some amazing exclusive games, but it's an overrated piece of hardware. Mine has always been sluggish and cumbersome to deal with anything besides playing a game. Xbox One is probably the console I've used the most ever. Such a great and user friendly experience.
Everything about this game looks so great. I'm someone who thought the intitial reveal last year was incredible, so I'm even more excited after all the this new info from yesterday. I can already tell this game is going to take over my life when it releases!
This looks really incredible, and I am so excited for this game. Between this, Indiana Jones and Redfall, I am eagerly anticipating what Bethesda is working on. Such a great time for GamePass/Xbox owners.
This will disappoint some, but this is the right move. The campaigns in Battlefield and Call of Duty are just distractions from the main event. They're fun, especially the most recent Modern Warfare, but hardly the reason 95 percent of people are playing these games for. It's better they focus on what they do best. Looking forward to it.
I got my Xbox 360 in high school when Gears of War was released. I've been obsessed with both the Xbox brand, and the Gears and Halo series ever since. I use a Playstation and Switch often, but nothing will ever beat the times I had gaming with my friends in Gears of War and Halo 3. It's still my go to console and eagerly anticipate all that's to come this generation.
@TrueAssassin86x That's a great price for a game that looks very interesting. I'm way more inclined to take a chance on a game like this with a price that fair.
Can't wait for Fallout 4 to make it's way to GamePass. I've never really played Bethesda games, so this is a great chance for me to see what I've been missing. I'm looking forward all the games to come!
Pleasantly surprised to see PES get so much love. It's definitely a great game, but doesn't have all the bells and whistles of FIFA to get much mainstream attention.
I'll be playing more Gears 5 and Destiny 2. I may also dive into all these sports games on GamePass. I'm especially looking forward to 2k21, as it's been a long time since I've played the series. Have a great weekend everyone!
I think they've been fine. The FPS boosts, GamePass additions, a great looking new headset are enough for now. I'm sure when we get closer to the summer and when more consoles are available, we'll get a big reveal on Halo Infinite. It's really 2022 that I'm looking ahead to in terms of big exclusive information.
Those are incredible, and I hope they go up for sale soon. Xbox has been making a lot of really cool products and then not releasing them for sale lately..
More than likely a tease for operation 6, but man they must have known what they were teasing was going to get the fans all in a frenzy over a Gears 2 remaster, which would be really epic. Either way, can't wait to find out more.
I appreciate their commitment to putting high quality games on GamePass. I also have PS Now, and I don't think I've used it more than 3 times. It's just full of random crap, with something really great every now and then, but only lasts for a few months. Whether GamePass ends up increasing in price over the years or not, I'll continue to subscribe if they keep up the quality.
@NEStalgia Yeah, it boggles the mind that this game was all set to go for just a few months ago, and now it sounds like they have a lot of work left to do. It doesn't make any sense lol.
This is a really bad move. A lot of gamers who just want to play Apex Legends, Fortnite, etc with their friends, will definitely not be doing that on Xbox any more. With PS4 allowing you to play those games without a PS Plus sub, and now this huge price hike...it doesn't make any sense. GamePass of course is their big thing now, so they either need to get rid of gold, or make it free. It just looks bad otherwise.
Sounds really cool. Battlefield is definitely in need of a reboot. They need to get back to what made the series stand out in the first place. The last one just got lost in the shuffle of all the other online shooters.
So pathetic, and so tired of ridiculous articles like these. Are we really not past this nonsense already? I'm not even going to waste any time refuting this stupid article lol.
I'd be really disappointed if it's just another Forza game. Those games are great and everything, but it's way past time Xbox had something else to look forward to in terms of big AAA games that aren't Forza, Halo, or Gears. I know Fable and Perfect Dark are announced, but those could 2-3 years away at the least.
I really liked the first Sonic racing game on the 360, and was disappointed to find out it wasn't backwards compatible. The sequel is arguably better, but I liked the simplicity of just cart racing in the original.
I just recently started playing The Call of the Sea and Ori Will of the Wisps. Both are excellent games, and I'll be continuing to play through those. Beyond that, I might try to finish up The Last Campfire and play some Gears or Halo multiplayer. Have a great weekend everyone!
I think I still have mine at my parents house, but it's been about 5 years since I've played it. I have some great memories on that console, but all the 360 games I still play are playable on my One S.

Just one game this year, Guardians of the Galaxy. I usually purchase one or two more, but I bought some more months of GamePass instead.

Re: Another Nine Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass Soon (November 30 - December 8)

Re: Xbox Series X Mini Fridge Pre-Orders Open Next Week, Arriving This December
That's actually much cheaper than I was expecting lol. I might give pre ordering a shot.
Re: Halo's MCC Adds New 'Mythic' Armour Sets To Season 8, And Not Everyone Is Happy

Re: Strangely, Halo Infinite Won't Give You XP For Just Playing Matches
This is what The Coalition did with Gears 5 and I really hated it lol. I never finished any of their battle passes because it was just too much of a hassle doing their stupid challenges. This is very disappointing.
Re: Deals: 300+ Games Included In This Week's Xbox Sales (August 17-24)
Scarlet Nexus is verrryy tempting! That's a great price.
Re: The All-New, 500-Page Halo Encyclopedia Launches March 2022
This sounds amazing and can't wait to pre order. I could read about Halo and Gears of War lore forever.
Re: Ubisoft Is Suddenly Teasing Beyond Good & Evil 2 Again On Twitter
@Vinsanity Exactly. It's so far from what I wanted from a sequel, it doesn't even resemble the original anymore. It still might be a hit, but will almost certainly just be another cut and paste open world Ubisoft game.

Re: Talking Point: Is Xbox Being Too Quiet So Far This Year?

I'd like some more Bethesda games like Fallout 4 or Wolfenstein 2.
