Played it at launch and absolutely loved it!
I found it so good infact, that it made my Top 5 games of 2021 list haha

@Ocat @Grumblevolcano Thanks for this! Much appreciated 😊

"made adjustments to ensure that players are always making progress on at least one Event Challenge"
Didn't work this way for me unfortunately. After completing a few initially, I spent a good couple of hours last night without a single Tenrai challenge popping up.
Used 6 swaps to try and get one but nothing.

14 for me.
A few total guess that I didn't get right haha

Phenomenal game. One of my absolute faves in the last few years!
We spent about 18 months playing every Friday night as a full crew. Some fantastic memories ☺️ We still dive in every now and then while Halo is in the wild.
The love and attention that's gone into the game is outstanding.
Rare deserve every success.

Merry Christmas to all the Pure Xbox team and its readers! 😁
It's been a pretty incredible year for Xbox I'm sure you'd all agree and I for one cannot wait to see what the next year brings ☺️

This thread is clearly divided between people who know what Radiant Silvergun is and those who don't haha
For those who do, it's a fantastic month 😍

I'll be picking this up the second it has a Series X update or I see it in a sale, whichever comes first. Really looking forward to it 😁

@Alduin Same mate. I've been following all the updates and it would appear lots of changes have been made and it's now working properly.
Now it's in the sale again I think I'm gonna dive back in 😁

@Tharsman £7.99 in the UK. Not crazy but WAY more than I'd be happy to pay for such a thing haha

@Ihavenomouthandimust In the quiet words of John Mclaine...
"WELCOME TO THE PARTY PAL"

Yeah this is probably the highlight of the show for me! Cannot wait 😁
Playable Sisters of Battle would make it a dream come true haha I won't hold my breath 😄

I'll be honest, I totally thought it already was? 🤔

@Fiendish-Beaver I'm wondering the same. There doesn't currently seem to be a way for the UK to watch it? 🤔

Yeah I love stories like this.
I'd expect nothing less from Layden and Yoshida, class acts the pair of them 😊
Jim Ryan on the other hand...

Awwwww maaaaaaan, when I read the title I thought some big juicy expansion was on the way!
I'd love that, the game is superb and I'd love more content to pull me back in 😊

Hmmmm that's a tricky one. Will they take the Battle Pass into consideration or judge the game on its merits as a game?
If the former, we'll see some negativity. If not, it'll be a home run.
Ultimately, it doesn't matter. The multiplayer is sublime and the general consensus from the community is that they've nailed the campaign. For me at least, its the very best Halo game I could've wished for 😍

Oh go on then, I'll dive back in 😁
I predominantly play Monster Hunter but I really do enjoy Dauntless.
Just gotta stop playing Halo for a second first 🤔

They nailed the gameplay.
They messed up the progression.
It's frustrating for sure but that is most certainly the right way around 😁

Dreamcast, what a legendary console.
I adored it and still do 😍

Free to all players is a great touch.
I know there's a few naysayers, but personally, I'm a massive fan of these Fracture armour sets 😁
Let's hope it's simple enough to get, as levelling up the current pass is taking an age haha

This is the way

Hmmmm CoD or Halo, CoD or Halo??
It's quite the conundrum 😂

I managed to show a LOT of restraint and only stayed up playing until midnight.
Same again tonight.
Same again every night 😁

I've got a feeling things are gonna go from strength to strength for Halo 😁

@Alduin @FraserG Yeah fingers crossed 🤞😊

Yeah its a small but oh so beautiful list right there!

A quick Google tells me Paramount+ isn't available in the UK. Huh.
Let's hope that changes before this comes out!

Yeah I cannot wait for this! 😁

It's not even 7pm here in the UK. Don't panic.
I still have 13 hours of game time before work

Nothing higher than an A Fraser?? Haha

Yeah, blue screen here too.
Not to worry. I imagine we may see some issues over the next few days.

@Microbius I couldn't agree more mate 😊
I just want a 20 year retrospective on Xbox. The highs, the lows, the funny bits!
Just a celebration of the brand, the key games and the fans that made Xbox what it is today.
Oh, and a lovely little speech from Uncle Phil of course 😄

It's been a pretty great 20 years all things considered.
The original console was superb and the 360 just blew everything out of the water!
Then some other stuff happened (we don't talk about it) and now we have the Series consoles!
It's in a phenomenal position right now. It's genuinely exciting to be Xbox gamer 😁

I had no intention of buying an Xbox.....
Until my mate brought his over a few days after launch and showed me Halo!
I had to save for a while but bought one as soon as I was able.
Loved it then, love it now ☺️
Halo, Fable and KoToR were the games that cemented it's legendary status for me.

I love stuff like this, great touch 😁

Another fantastic video.
Goosebumps, big time 😊

I have so many fond memories of the original Xbox but yeah, I'm a vote for the 360 era too.
That console was absolutely superb and the raft of games was just incredible.
It was such an exciting time which is being echoed now with the Series consoles ☺️

It's the way they slowly turn around at the same time to look at him that gets me 😂
Reminds me of the scene with Sol, Vinny and Tyrone in the car in Snatch 😄
Great scene.

I'm excited about all the usual suspects of course but I'd like to give a shout out to 'Shredders'.
A good snowboarding game is LONG overdue and this one looks superb 😁

I'd give anything to play this on my Series X. Even if I had to buy a K&M to play it 😁

Those special editions too!! 😳
If that Halo Collectors Edition doesn't make it to the UK I know where I'm spending that money 😊

That showcase blew my socks off it really did.
The game was always gonna be great and I was always gonna be buying day one.
I wasn't prepared though for just how incredible this game is gonna be 😁

Yep, all over this. Fingers crossed it comes to the UK!
I was lucky enough to get the Halo console so hopefully I'll get lucky again 😁

Cannot wait!
All From games are utterly superb but I've got a feeling this one might take the crown 🤔

@FriendlyOctopus Not gonna lie, that Lion King bit me properly laugh out loud. Thanks 😄

Incredible, absolutely incredible.
If they can make me feel like that after 3 mins, Infinite could have the best story in the series!
Fingers crossed.

The squeaky dead baby in the original Silent Hill made my entire body go cold 😁
There's been a few over the years.
The all time worst, which made me properly scream out, was the PT Trailer.
When you turn around and the ghost gets you. I was playing in the dark with the sound right up. Scared the cr*p out of me!! 😂

Silent Hill, hands down.
I remember getting home and firing the original up on launch day. A weekend with that game changes a man 😂
The sequel is one of my favourite games of all time.
The rest of the series I'm not fussed about.
Honourable mention to Dead Space and Resi ☺️

I read that as 'Village' and got very excited for a second or two haha
