Honestly, it still feels like a ridiculous overreaction. It wasn't that bad. Sure, it wasn't the hardware that the 360 was at its time, but it was an excellent console in a great generation.
It does seem very high. For the standard asking price of $60, you would get (checks notes) three armor sets from the shop. Of course, if you play this game for the next five years, $60 is a very low price. But still, I wish the armors were somewhere between $2 and $5.
@StylesT yes it’s nonsense. What @swedetrap says bears no resemblance to the content or purpose of the DF video. I’d suggest you watch it before joining the nonsense.
@Magabro “maliciously frustrating progression system” when every weapon and map and vehicle is unlocked from the start. It’s all paint for cool points. There is nothing frustrating about it. You have 160 days to get 100 levels of the BP, if that’s what you’re into. Take your time, enjoy the game.
I could literally not remember the setting of FH2. I’ve played them all, and honestly have loved each more than the least. 2 and 3 have more nostalgia going for them, but objectively 5 is the best.
I don't know what it is, but the Horizon series is my favorite game series ever. I never liked racing games before I picked up the first, and have been more and more hooked ever since. FH4 was my favorite game of last generation, and that only slightly more than FH3. I plan on putting 250+ hours into FH5. I am loving Mexico!

Re: Reaction: Sony Continuing PS4 Production Shows The Xbox Series S Was A Great Move
I wish PS had a $300 current-gen option. They’re losing money.
Re: Talking Point: What Xbox Game Are You Most Excited For In 2022?

Maybe if it was $2.

Re: Xbox Employee Recalls 'Sheer Hate & Vitriol' The Community Team Received In 2013

Re: Halo Infinite Players Complain About The 'Insanely High' Prices For Skins

Re: Halo Infinite's Multiplayer Is Receiving Four New Playlists Next Week
Great news! I expect to get a lot of mileage out of this game. I haven't enjoyed a multiplayer like this since Destiny.
Re: Xbox Exclusive FPS CrossfireX Officially Launches February 2022
Not at all interested, but because it is developed by Remedy I will see how it reviews.
Re: Roundup: Here's Everything That Was Revealed During The Game Awards 2021
Honestly most excited for Space Marine 2 and surprised by Arc Raiders.

Re: Digital Foundry Breaks Down Halo Infinite's Performance On Every Xbox Console
@swedetrap You should probably watch it before talking nonsense.
Re: Digital Foundry Breaks Down Halo Infinite's Performance On Every Xbox Console
The lighting issues interest me. Hope they can improve them over time, maybe a dedicated Series S|X version?
Re: It's Time! Halo Infinite Is Now Available With Xbox Game Pass
My download, on Series S, is just over 2GB?
Edit: was just an update, had to go into the game campaign menu and initiate the download there!

Re: Xbox Is Offering Exclusive Monthly Game Pass Perks For Halo Infinite
Ya'll see Chipotle is giving out 5x challenge swap tokens for 100 reward points? Not sure how many you can redeem, though.
Re: Some Forza Fans Say They're Getting 'Bored' With Horizon 5 Already
@d0x3601 Didn’t say it was short. Go read my posts.
Re: Some Forza Fans Say They're Getting 'Bored' With Horizon 5 Already
@gollumb82 No, I don't think a game is bad because it is short. But quantity of content is a factor in deciding whether or not to get a game.
Re: Some Forza Fans Say They're Getting 'Bored' With Horizon 5 Already
@gollumb82 I use HLTB to decide how much value I’m getting from a game.
Re: Some Forza Fans Say They're Getting 'Bored' With Horizon 5 Already
Welcome to Forza? Always a reason to complain!
Re: Talking Point: What Have You Bought In The Xbox Black Friday Sale 2021?

Re: Halo Infinite Season 1's Paid Cosmetics Could End Up Costing Over $1000 In Total
I don’t get the gripe. When did customization in a FPS become a good thing? Just ignore the store, roll with a stock Spartan, and play the game.
Re: Xbox Responds To Calls To Add 'Platinum Trophy' System For Achievements
I’m a big achievement hunter. Love the gamerscore system, but some kind of badge for 100% would be nice.

Better than I had initially thought based on screenshots. Still waiting to hear reviews.
