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

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
