Official Xbox Thread - Price drop | Xbox Series X now $399

Every gaming forum I visited is upset with the trailer and compare it to either Watch Dogs 2 or Fortnite.

Probably because it was live action and cinematic instead of gameplay.

 

[stay lurkin]

People gonna be upset on the internet no matter what. Live action or gameplay, it doesn't matter

 

[KingParappa]

yup. It looked fine to me.

Psychonauts 2 is very good

Psychonauts 2 is very good

It's getting terrible user reviews though. At least on metacritic

Halo Elite controller up for UK preorder on Amazon. I placed an order for US delivery.. after shipping and taxes came out to $250 flat.

Starfield

That's only because it's getting review bombed by Russian players for not having Russian language support

Smh I can't believe they released that bullshid trailer for the Saints Row reboot. None of us day 1 fans asked for that mess. We want something that mirrors the first two games, but with a little more seriousness as a real competitor to the GTA series. What I saw made me instantly think of a cartoony version of Watch Dogs 2.

Saint's Row can't be a real competitor to GTA anymore. That window closed after Saints Row 2.

*So with Halo multiplayer being free to play, that means one who is NOT subscribed to Game Pass would have to pay $60 to experience the Halo campaign. Would you do it? I know there are many people who claim they don't pay full price for single player games but I curious if those people would make an exception for Halo.

*I know most people in here are subscribed to Game Pass

Pre-ordering Infinite tomorrow at Best Buy FWIW.

No way I'm paying $60 for Infinite's campaign. Halo 5's was garbage. Corny acting in the cutscenes and the story was just bad in general imo. Don't care what they're promising this time .

If I didn't have Game Pass Ultimate I'd seriously consider it. Normally don't pay full price for any games but I'd make an exception for the Halo franchise.

Side note: Do people in here use Microsoft Rewards? Switching from Google to Bing as my default search engine has earned me a controller and several games at this point, all purchased with Rewards points. My GPU subscription ends in October 2022; I'll probably save my points to put towards subscription renewal.

Halo campaigns are usually really good

It's just that the most recent one was a total slog

Not finding an Xbox anxiety sneaking in because of this game that I PO’d the steelbook version just because

Paying for a year of standard game pass basically gets you Halo for the same price. Idk why some of y’all still aren’t on it

 

[putting in work]

Halo 5 campaign is the only one I never completed.

Finished every other campaign on Legendary though.

I tried out the campaign for Halo 5 and I remember it being really hard.

I thought $60 got you 6 months?

 

[MajinZuub]

Ah you’re right i had the prices wrong, for sons reason I thought standard game pass was lower than I remembered

 

[rbk93]

One of the best Halo maps ever getting a remake for Halo 3.

 

[goledensilence]

Saint's Row can't be a real competitor to GTA anymore. That window closed after Saints Row 2.

Because the team decided to go full time wacky on 3 and 4. Us day 1 fans thought this reboot would go back to that gangster feel of Saints Row 1. Who knows maybe they will get a nice amount of support being that it comes out in February when there’s not much competition.

Yup! I've been using it for years! I had gold paid off for 3yeara cause of rewards. Make sure you do the gpu rewards side and you can hit goals quicker. It takes me 5 mins to do mobile and I do pc searches on my xbox so it dont take long at all

Don't let 343 play with your money like that. Get game pass when it drops and try it out first. The multiplayer is free so your basically paying $60 for just the campaign.

This ain't Bungie anymore and 343 can't be trusted. 7 years later and them boys still talking about more **** got to be delay after having 1 year delay already ...

 

[rbk93]

I'm sure I won't be disappointed, Halo is my favorite game series.

Halo 4/5 launched relatively well as far as I remember. Halo 4's campaign was pretty good, if not short too. Verdict is out on H5 though, but most people compare it to H2's campaign(a disappointment).
