shelve it. the series ran its course so much it’s not even funny; it had spinoffs, an excellent prequel , an excellent trilogy with a conclusive ending , and even halo 4 had a conclusive ending. everything that could possibly be done with halo has been done. The MCC is excellent too, but, again, this series is done lore wise - gameplay wise, it’s old and past its prime.

now if bungie decided to make another halo instead of the talentless “halo studios” , then maaaybe a new game wouldn’t hurt 😆

wait, now that i think about it, marathon and destiny are mid; so never mind, just shelve halo, lol.

@smoreon didn’t the gamecube already start the trend of alienating core fans though? It had a quirky & awkward controller that was primarily designed around one game (Melee) along with also having odd button placement and missing buttons, the gamecube controller was not good for most games; the cube also uses small discs so a ton of games skipped it & nintendos own games had to be significantly compressed. There was also no online for the console and the handle on the back of the console was a nuisance & made the console look like a kids lunchbox. The starfox games became a pretty mediocre platformer, kirby was reduced to a forgettable racing game, etc

What i’m saying is, i believe that particular criticism can go both ways…and the wii had many bangers.

@smoreon wait a minute, what was wrong with the wii?

$onys villian arc & M$ hero arc begins

i have two wired xbox360 hyperkin controllers. haven’t had to worry about stick drift or any batteries or battery related issues.

@Fiendish-Beaver that’s an amazing & beautiful story. You definitely had a peak gears of war experience, far better than any regular gamer like myself.

@Fiendish-Beaver I'm a fan. love Gears of war 1-3. Used to love 3 the most, but Gears of War 2 is just the pinnacle and quintessential representation of the series, imo.

@Arkz agreed. in the end that’s all it’s about. They’ve got a hefty price out of me with their drift sense controllers over the years, but not anymore. now it’s mostly PC + third party hall stick controller for me

@Arkz well i can’t argue with that reason. sony controllers generally are garbage with battery life, admittedly. the DS3 was the only good one , and ever since they added that ***** touchpad and lightbar it’s been downhill.

@Arkz "Sony's rechargeable controller lasts about 6 hours max and gets worse and worse over the years."

• The dualshock 3 and 4 were good, especially the dualshock 3, so maybe you're only talking about the dualsense, because the dualshock 3 was a monster and still is. The dualshock 3s battery life lasts ages.

"My Xbox pads last about 20 hours on rechargeables AAs, and when they're low its a quick swap out instead of needing a cable attached to charge it. "

• good for you. i said its good to have options. i like wired controllers, but can use it wirelessly too, more options are always good. you can always ignore the options you dont like. this is why i gave xbox props, because of the options they usually offer.

"People don't hate rechargeable batteries, they hate terrible battery life."

• not true. theres plenty of people that have criticized rechargeable only controllers from $ony strictly because they were rechargeable. thats a broad generalization. not all have, but its still a lot of people that do.

"Funny you think Xbox gives you choices instead of having to use it their way, how are those rip off SSD expansion cards working out for people? "

• I dont know

The masterchief collection hands down, its a must have. play all the halos except 4,5,infinite,

gears trilogy is also a must, just dont touch judgement

any other games that made me love xbox in the past have went multiplat later on, so...

so maybe this explains why i was completely turned off from the game several months ago & uninstalled it from steam. the players were extremely sweaty and toxic & only the halo 3 playlists were populated.

hopefully i can try again , ill find out if it was cheaters or if it was just a skill issue

lol, the poll results are funny. but yet it’s a con/issue when $ony does it. But on the flip side, it’s great and much better that Xbox allows OPTIONS for BOTH types, Xbox was always good at giving users choices instead of just having to use their console one way

@SMJ make xbox great again

the master chief collection exists..

@Rowleyfan2001 sounds like you hardly played the 360 generation.

xbox bouncing back would be good for everyone. because of its downfall - $ony has gotten worse, $***endo has gotten worse

is it safe to say that we all want another gears of war 2?

@GamerScore200K $50 for a game like this in 2026 especially is a steal

@General-Foley they returned to form already years ago with 2019 & then immediately squandered it.

COD should do something different , you might not like this, but i think futuristic jet pack COD should come back, its been a while

the jim ryan of xbox

the look of the older cod games look much better imo. the grittiness, the dirtyness, the blurry but strong attention to details and color choice make the real modern warfare games look much more appealling. nowadays they all look cartoony, detail-less and clean, especially treyarch games

@HonestHick what did you like about the xbox one (besides the controller, of course 😂)?

nothing will beat “xbox 360”. they really put themselves in a hole with that name. i’m sorry, but every xbox name after that just sounds awkward or dumb

xbox360 was a badass name but a curse as well

xbox 1, 2, 3 etc would have been so safe and good, but people would’ve confused xbox 2 as being a gen behind the ps3 so here we are

@Nakatomi_Uk this is true i’ve been uninstalling forced updates for a year now because they break my damn pc

They should invest in stopping $ony from running wild. this generation of gaming for both sides have been crap

@ZYDIO As a Spiderman fan that's played almost all the games, I agree, man. I played Web of Shadows for the first time way back in 2016, which was much later after it came out, so my expectations were freaking high according to all the praise people lied about with it. When I finally got to playing it, to say that I was underwhelmed would be an understatement!

Also, it's funny that it's considered "rare", since all I had to do was go to my local gamestop to find a used copy, haha.

lol, its a good thing i still have the consoles these games are on.

they definitely should keep it on xbox. no one wants 343/halo studios garbage ass games

@Gemini53 i love your profile pic! one of my favorite games ever!

@TrollOfWar That’s what made games from that gen so great . games nowadays are too bloated with submenus, open world, and cutscenes; way too cinematic for my tastes these days. I miss when you could just jump back into single player games without having to relearn or remember so many nuances

@HonestHick i agree; you make some great points as always

@Elbow more like smears than touch ups

@FreqMode And i sincerely don’t understand why people prefer swappable batteries. Your cellphone doesn’t have swappable battery but no one complains about that

internal rechargable batteries are convenient and saves money, it’s that simple

@Gabrie It’s PC; pc is the future and frankly amazing. All exclusives in one machine that allows you to use any controller you want plus access to console services like PSN or XBL/Gamepass with free online 👌

it’s garbage i uninstalled

@Jenkinss @Lazar_Kaganovitch It won’t be no Gears 2. this game will most likely be better than 4, 5, judgement at least..if that’s saying much haha

gross

(i have nothing more to say)

Fable 3 because it’s the only one i’ve played

Xbox360 is the greatest console ever made , Microsoft had it in the bag with that amazing run. call me nostalgic , but that console literally gave me the greatest gaming experiences i’ve ever had 🤍💚🩶

@Fiendish-Beaver I fully believe that the PCbox will outsell and be more popular than the steam machine; if they go the route of making a pc box then there’s even more incentive to own an “xbox” console. Xbox doesn’t have to outsell its contemporaries, it just has to break even. We all wish that Xbox were in its heyday again like the Xbox360, but that doesn’t mean its retired either.

Can you honestly really see a world with just Nintendo & Sony around as console options ? No way; i sure can’t

@Fiendish-Beaver There will always be a reason for the Xbox console for the reason that you for-mentioned - streamlined/simplicity. That, plus if someone prefers the Xbox controller and user experience. Microsoft plays the long game instead of waiting for quick results. while it may seem like they’re fizzling out of the gaming space , they pretty much own it. And as long as they own it, they’ll never go the way of sega for example. The Xbox console is protected by MS pockets & investments.

@Fiendish-Beaver pc is pretty streamlined these days

only if you prefer their controller and/or UI & achievements, otherwise no at this point

@tho_mi the xbox roasting is ruthless these days 😂

very funny and sad though

@DonkeyFantasy I use the Xbox App just to stay connected to the Xbox ecosystem and my xbox account. like holding on to good memories before i transitioned to pc / ps5 / switch

if xbox releases a good exclusive that isn’t multiplat i’d also use the app for that obviously

@SodaPop6548 We really didn’t. The big 3 was actually still a thing and in full swing; PS2, XBOX, GameCube were all must have consoles with great games and strong identities. Granted my favorite gen is 7th, but man i miss it. Early 2000s gaming was an experience

Love to see it! keeping the greatest Xbox alive! love this guys setup , literally drooling right now 🤤

NFL 2k, nice. 2K needs to make football games again

i’m just playing marvel rivals

@Markatron84 thats funny because ppl call the doom series a boomer shooter lol

I am so not ready for the holiday break to be over
