Horizon 6 would make it an A+ event by itself!! Nothing else really moves me from that list though new hardware is always exciting

Way too many once again. Most end up being watered down and forgettable for the most part. Hopefully there will be some nice surprises sprinkled in

Not a huge COD fan but I'll definitely check out the campaign on GP. Expected but still a great addition, hope they add the older ones eventually too!

Graphically it's absolutely stellar! Gameplay is another story but it definitely does look terrific!

Forza Horizon games. Still literally the only reason I have an Xbox at this point

Couldn't really get into the first one at all but willing to give this a go. Thanks for the review!

Fun little game, I had a good time with it. Hope those in Xbox enjoy!

@CaptnTedo man that sucks. Worked fine for me this morning just as always. The search timer is very inconsistent from my exp for whatever reason. Some days it let's me rapid fire searches and the next it seems like 20+ seconds are needed in between. Hope it gets back on track for you!

Looks interesting, no harm in signing up. Thanks for the info!

@CaptnTedo saying only 80 points a day is quite an exaggeration. I'm up to 350+ a day before even finishing breakfast lol. While it's definitely down from where it was in the past, it's not THAT bad. The search nerf is not nearly as egregious as people have made it seem, at least from my experience

Definitely a bit disappointing but there's still more than enough to get Gamepass for "free" so not really the end of the world. Not a good trend though I will admit

THPS would be my personal choice. Though my oldest has really gotten into the COD campaigns as of late so all of those older ones would be much appreciated too!

No I'm good. Had it been around at launch I probably would've gone for it. Happy with our little S until next box whatever that ends up being!

Should've had this from start, I most likely would've bought over the S. Problem now is how the heck are they going to price it. The 1TB S goes for 350 retail, it's very easy to get a new X for around 400 nowadays. Unless they're going to knock down the prices on the low end this isn't going to do to well I think.

@Spaceman-Spiff yeah I've noticed this as well the system is very slow to update for whatever reason. Usually takes hours to register from my experience

Horrible but we've gotten used to it. Usually only have 3 or 4 games installed at a time, thankful cloud streaming works so well!

As long as GPU stays the same not to bothered by any other increases. They seem to make tweaks and adjustments to this almost monthly at this point. Wonder what the reason is

Wheel support is an absolute must for this one. Will check it out once it gets added, definitely looking forward to it.

Absolutely! It's worked great for years now. Have had very few issues with it especially recently, very pleased with it

Some surprises that aren't years away hopefully. Can't say I'm too excited about any of the exclusives they have coming up that we know about. Hopefully a slight hardware refresh and perhaps the LONG overdue family gamepass plan

Going to spend dozens of hours playing this, can already tell. Hopefully it has solid wheel support!

This is just sad. I hope the people who are genuinely upset by this find some shred of happiness in their lives. Such a shockingly stupid thing to get upset about.

Definitely not. Grounded and Pentiment are wholly unintering to me and played enough SoT and Hi-Fi Rush to know they aren't for me either.

This really could've been a tweet or a blog post tbh. They really didn't say much and nothing has really changed in my view. Seems a lot of people lost their minds for no reason at all

Hopefully they don't beat around the bush and get right into it. Looking forward to seeing what they have to say

Not at all, one of the most disappointing games of 2023 for me. Was extremely excited for it, but playing it honestly made me wish I was playing other racing games. Just didn't hook me like I wanted it to unfortunately.

This is wild to say the least. Bring over Horizon and I'd sell my Xbox immediately 😂

Even though there's a multitude of substitutes at the moment, I'd be much more inclined to buy a first party Xbox "switch-like" device with docking capability over just another regular console. Very interesting rumor indeed.

None, no point in it for us.

Love gaming as much as anyone, but man what a seemingly terrible industry to work in. Pretty much a daily thing now, hope folks land on their feet soon.

Nothing really for me but defiantly some great looking games, glad there's excitement!

I got to play the beta a couple months ago. My takeaway is it's not a "bad" game. The shooting is fine and the mechanics are solid. It's just wholly unremarkable and cookie cutter. Slapping in DC characters is almost a disservice as it just opens up more scrutiny. Had it been something original like a Outriders I think it would've helped. Played enough to know that I don't really need to touch it again. I doubt it's going to review well and really hope it doesn't drastically effect Rocksteady as a developer.

Though overall I was kind of disappointed with it I'd pick Forza as the best of the bunch.

I'd say 2025 most likely. Hopefully they add a ton of new wrinkles to whatever FH6 ends up being. While the Horizon games are far and away my favorites on the Xbox, just making it in a new locale won't be enough imo. I trust playground though, I'm sure whatever they cook up will be great!

Pretty great their adding newly released games so soon. Motorfest is a pretty decent Horizon clone. No where near the replayability imo but a fun 20 or so hours. May sub for a month once Prince of Persia releases

Zero, gamepass gets me everything I need. I've bought dlc for a few games but as long as gp is going, highly unlikely to buy a full game

Any US peeps, If you have a Costco membership they are selling the Series S with a headset for ONLY $150 in store!!

$350 on Amazon US at the moment as well. Price is very tempting 🤔

EDIT: Extreme YMMV here but Gamestop will price match the Amazon price and they have a $25 off $250+ purchase deal going on now as well. An X for $325 is a hell of a score

500 hours total, 250 on FH5 alone, next is Vampire Survivors with 100. Not bad for a "free" subscription!

Played the beta and it's actually not a bad game. I do think it's an absolute disservice to shoe horn the DC universe into it, but as a video game it's solid but unremarkable overall. Honestly if they would've just created an original story/characters it would probably be better received.

I'd go with a B. Better than it's been in recent years. Still think they need to cut down the time somehow but overall a decent showing.

Day one if true, should be a great game for the children!

Oh my God just let it go already! Our tax dollars hard at work smh

We've heard this for years now, just release it already!

I am probably the type of person that made them reevaluate the program lol. I remember quite a few times earning enough to pay for a month of gamepass AND being able to get a month of PS plus from the menial daily tasks. Sucks they seem to be slowly whittling away at the program and I agree with what you said. If they were just honest about it instead of the typicla PR word salad it would be an easier pill to swallow.

Far Cry 6 is a banger, best the series has been great addition!

Honestly hope not, as others have pointed out the scalper market has destroyed it for many people. I've been lucky enough to get the limited edition console/controllers I've wanted but so many real fans have missed out. I like the concept of wraps & plates on PS5 more overall.

May finally check it out and see what the hype is about! Sucks they goofed but hopeful to see more

Definitely disappointing. As long as there's still enough ways to get my 10k points every month for Gamepass I'm not to bothered but certainly not a fan of the changes they've made to rewards recently.

Sigh, was hoping for a better deal, still too pricey imo. Hopefully the redesign allows non proprietary storage upgrades
