I'd say yes all things considered. Though StarField didn't really do it for me at all and Forza Motorsport was a pretty big disappointment for a few reasons, I think it was a solid year for the brand. Nothing out of this world but a decent amount of exclusives & goodwill overall

This is great news. Definitely not a game for me but glad they worked out whatever issues they had. Hope you guys enjoy!

Unsurprising. Just not in the level of some of the others in a number of ways.

Hopefully we get a worthwhile discount on the expansion cards. Prices remain silly on those things

Oh wow this definitely isn't a welcome change. Loved grabbing a quick 50 points a day on my lunch break everyday. Still plenty of points per month to cover gamepass and a $5 GC but not a fan of this trend.

@VisitingComet1 1. Paragraphs, PLEASE lol

2. I understand what you're saying, however this is such an insignificant amount of money that it's really not worth getting in a tizy about. Regardless of whether someone is an intern or fresh out of school, not to be insensitive but if $17 a month is going to do damage to their budgeting there needs to be an adjustment of priorities.

I've worked in the past setting up benefits packages for small/medium sized companies. I've witnessed companies overnight rip away things that equate to hundreds/thousands a month for employees, that's worth getting upset for. This not so much in my opinion.

GP Ultimate is roughly 50 cents a day, people lose much, MUCH more valuable & important benefits from employers all the time. These people will be fine I'm sure.

Nice surprise, will definitely give it a go this afternoon! Thanks for the info!

Format and structure were perfect, very little fluff or wasted time. Games wise I'd give it a D personally, really only 1 thing of note though I do hope they continue to do these!

@Bartig Noticed this as well, takes all the challenge out of the game even on higher difficulties.

Hopefully they fix whatever quick resume bug is present too. Game crashes just about every single time when I try to reload it.

Not at all. We're 99% digital at this point and very unlikely to ever go back. Would rather a discless Series X personally

All sounds incredible as expected! Can't wait to see how it evolves over time. Thanks for the great review!

No, it's top 5 definitely but absolutely not the best.

Yup! Preordered the premiuim upgrade as soon as it went up!

Great news, spent hundreds of hours playing the first 2! Hopefully the wait isn't too long but sounds like there just getting ramped up

Splendid. Glad I waited for Gotham Knights to come to a sub. Hopefully stays on there for a while since the next few months are so packed!

Exactly what I've wanted, a digital X. But that date seems unreasonably far out, hopefully it releases sooner!

@Nightcrawler71 Yessir, lots to look forward to a racing game fan!

Very excited to try this, majority of the previews have been glowing

About 12 hours in and I'm having a decent time with it. This is my first Bethesda game and I can certainly see why they have their fans. The menus and dialog portions are somewhat of a drag and nothing has really "hooked" me so far. Excited to keep playing though it's a 7.5-8 range so far.

This has been a feature for a while. I usually see it on Tuesdays right when the quests reset for the week and people are presumably trying to get them done quickly. Typically only a few minutes from what I've experienced, 235 is wild!

Yes! The Forza Horizon games are the number one reason I own an Xbox. Best games in my favorite genre. Have had hundreds of hours playing other games via Game Pass but FH4/5 compelled me to get one

Welp the door is open now, wonder how many devs in the next few years will seek a pass.

Sounds good, plan on getting a lot of mileage out of this one no pun intended. Really wish racing wheels were universal but hopefully can snag an Xbox wheel during the holiday sales.

These look terrific, Not a fan of any of the initial ones but excited to see what they come up with in the future.

Fond memories of picking this up on release day after school as a kid. Totally blew my mind back then that this was what video games could be. Hopefully I'll have time to play the collection in the future!

The things people choose to get upset about will never cease to amaze me. Literal addiction to complaining 😂

Mine just finished, excited to finally try a Bethesda game hope it lives up to the hype!

Love the far cry games. Nothing revolutionary about them but the always make for a fun 20 or so hour checklist type experience. Hoping they expand co op to 3 or more in future games!

One of the first FPS games I recall playing. Nice surprise, definitely gonna give it a shot today!

Absolutely, I'd buy it day one!! We only play gamepass games anyway and I would appreciate the extra horsepower & storage. Hopefully we get one

Definitely has a couple things Horizon should steal. Having a lot of fun with it so far. This and Motorsport should keep me busy the rest of the year!

Absolutely! It's been my most anticipated Xbox game since FH5. Can't wait to get lost in the tuning and collecting

@Moonglow it's more than doable to get a monthly sub every month. ~5 mins a day will net enough points for GPU with very very minimal effort (maybe region specific not sure). I usually end up getting a $5 Amazon gift card too after getting enough for GPU every month.

Definitely not the best news, was really hoping the family plan would be out by now. Hopefully we don't have to wait too much longer

Got 3 of them lol! Nothing really to spend it on atm but always love getting free stuff!!

Thank God it's finally done! Have next to no interest in Act/Blizz games but just sick of hearing about it.

@JayJ yes I'm aware, that's how I played it

Decent game, was fun to run through over a weekend. Weird it's not on game pass, it's the perfect game for it.

Console wars are alive and well it seems smh. All these companies are unendingly ruthless, they didn't reach billion/trillion dollar size by being sunshine & rainbows with everyone and both have done or would do everything they're accusing the other of. Get both plastic boxes and play all the games without having to pledge allegiance to either company, seems simple.

Yes. Its 2 bucks more, 50 cents a week, not the end of the world. Spend ~15 minutes a day doing menial Microsoft rewards tasks and it'll cost you nothing out of pocket anyways. Things get more expensive over time, the cost of games in some regards has stayed flat for decades. Even at $17 its a heck of a deal

@Tothington91 the online achievements aren't that bad, especially with an influx of players b/c of gamepass it should be a breeze.

Thrilled to finally have the Syclone/Typhoon back in 5. Solid update!

Price is actually not too bad. Been kicking around the idea of switching to a projector setup in our game room, will keep this one in mind

Can't wait to sink a few hundred hours into this one! Looks spectacular

C. Lots of gameplay which is great but most games were passes for me. Way too much filler and talking but Ubi is gonna Ubi. The Crew is a definite buy and I'm sure I'll spring for Outlaws sometime in the future. Not a total bust but definitely behind SGF

Game is decent from what I played in the beta. Definitely a step above 1/2. Tough release date but I'm excited to get to it eventually

Good looking console, would've def gone for black instead on the white S we have now. Was really hoping for a digital X at $400ish but I guess theres a market for these as well

Star of the show, looking forward to hearing and seeing more on Tuesday!

B+, great showing. Best of the summer by a large margin.

C. It was a good show with decent variety but really only 2 things appeal to me and they were games I was already going to get day 1 anyway. Hopefully Sunday is a banger!

Got Diablo on Xbox and PS for some Coop action with both kiddos, we've been having a blast with it so far. No rush for SF6, will get it the championship/semi complete version on a couple years
