Halo infinite is the best Halo since 4 or Reach but it has its problems and definitely not a 9/10 game, I gave it a 7.5 and 8 but Xbox have been on a relentless campaign, of paying off influencers this gen. Halo infinite was suppossed to be the Xbox exclusive to really show off the Series X but truth is, Forza is the most impressive Xbox title this gen, another dev needs to take Halo off 343i, I'd love to see The Coalition have a go because they did great with Gears 5 on the Series X.

Just here for the damage control, the Xbox "fridge" should not have been marketed as a Fridge, all it does is blow air from a fan but MS knew what they were doing with their wording.

I love how the hardcore SC fandom get defensive when you remind them of how long the game has been in development, they're as bad as the Cyberpunk 2077 fanbase lmao

Xbox are in the wrong business lmao they should offer gamespass with the fridge to move those subs

Gamepass is a good service but Xbox f'd themselves by saying every exclusive will come to Gamepass on launch because so many people now don't buy games hoping it comes to Gamepass and the flip-side is if Xbox are spending 100s of millions on AAA titles, 18+ million subs is not enough to turn a profit. Only way Xbox makes a profit on AAA exclusives is if they start spending less on their games, you have to remember that they pay other publishers for games on Gamepass then they spend millions on their own exclusives

Halo 3 will always be my favourite

Xbox only gamers have to fully support Xbox games and products if they don't want future Bethesda games to end up on PlayStation, it's clear that MS don't care about how many consoles they sell, it's all about getting as many people buying Gamespasd or their games. AAA games cost 100s of millions, if Xbox can't sell enough of their games to make a profit, I wouldn't be surprised if they made a U-turn and we see Xbox exclusives on PS because financially they can't ignore that install base which is huge

I just wish Halo Infinite MP wasn't free to play because MS have to make their money back through some other means and that worries me. I know they made it free to get more people on Gamepass but still anxious and don't want it turning into nothing but a cashcow for MS without too much quality

Xbox employees can't talk about Xbox without finding a way of bringing Gamepass into the conversation, I'm starting to think long term plan for Xbox is sub service, they hardly talk about the Series X now and they hyped the f out of the console

It's pretty obvious to most neutrals, XB would have to pay millions to get big AAA games on launch and that's not good business, I even doubt they will release all their big exclusives on gamepass, they would need 100s of million subs to be able to make a profit and bring every AAA title on gamepass on launch day. Gamepass is good for BC, indies and some old AAA, that's why I got it for my kids but it's not for me because my free time is limited and only buy games u want to play straight away without having to go through a list to see if there's anything I might like
