@After10Ben Everything is subjective but i call a spade a spade and this "entertainment product" is barely a game and has very little gameplay in the traditional sense of the word. For me gameplay was and always will be king and i don't care one iota about "characters" or "story" in games and never will. If i want to experience such things i watch a TV series/movie or read a book.
I only play single player games and if and when they are no longer made that is when my gaming hobby will come to an end. Thankfully i have a massive back catalogue of games i can replay and dozens of games on Xbox, Switch and Sony Playstation 4 and 5 i still have not got round to.
Maybe the next DLC after Hot Wheels could be in the style of Project Gotham Racing and they could call it Project Forza Racing. PGR 3 and 4 were great and i would love to see a PGR 5.
I wish they would add more achievements to the campaign as i don't play multi player. Always play through the HMCC campaigns every 6 months or so but have not touched Halo Infinite campaign since i competed it last December.
It look's hamstrung by it's budget. Cortana looks weird and it looks fan made in places, don't have Paramount+ which is probably a good thing. Ideally it would be a HBO production but maybe one day if it is successful it will have a big budget movie.
Maybe release a COD game every year and then skip a year? Waiting 2 years to play the latest Call of Duty title seems a bit long for me as i love the single player campaigns and FPS is my favourite genre.
Hopefully this will mean old Call Of Duty games will get framerate and resolution boosts. I personally love COD games, not gonna lie. Nice one Microsoft, now all i need is a Series X and an LG OLED. Buy Capcom next.
Still playing Halo Infinite and still playing Forza Horizon 4 on my X until i get a Series X then i will get 5. Also just started playing Gears of War Judgement having never played it before. One final thing on Halo Infinite - this game really is beautiful graphically even on an X . I use an external SD drive to further cut down on loading times and i have also read it improves the visuals too.
@Banjo- I couldn't agree more. The Perfect Dark Xbox 360 Remaster is superb and hopefully (if this is true) Goldeneye will have the same polish. I played Goldeneye, Perfect Dark and Turok 2 a little TOO much back in my N64 days but have no regrets. I really hope this is true.
@ParsnipHero It's the campaign, i don't play multiplayer. Playing on a Xbox One X and despite a few technical problems with the graphics - strange glitches and pop up - i am loving it. My main criticism with the game is with the environment and that it really doesn't change.
@Dezzy70 I hope this is the last open world Halo game they do. I much more prefer the linear style of the earlier games. Or if they do another one like this make it planet hopping with different visual environments like Metroid Prime. Seven years in development and we get Halo Infinite, kind of shocking.
@Dezzy70 I know it's off topic but i have just started playing Halo infinite and i agree with you, i am disappointed with the game. Maybe my expectations were two high but i am not feeling it at the moment. Playing it on a Xbox One X and maybe it runs better on a Series X but regardless i can't put my finger on it but the game just doesn't feel right. A lot of graphical glitches, pop up and visually, i just find it a little bland. Only just started playing it and i hope visually it changes a little and also don't enjoy the open world gameplay yet.
I bought and played the Xbox 360 version a couple of months ago and although i enjoyed it somewhat the 30fps and the fact it remained dark all the time and never changed soon bored me.
I'm not gonna lie surprised at so many positive reviews and really high scores the game has received so far, really looking forward to playing it soon😃😃😃
@UltimateOtaku91 To be honest i don't care about "the story" in games for me it's about the game and gameplay and that includes Halo but you might feel differently.
Was going to get an OLED next year for 4K /120fps gaming, but what's the point when next gen games don't run at this resolution anyway? Think i'll stick to my Philips Ambilight. As for Halo Infinite, looking forward to playing it over Christmas.
Was going to click on the videos but decided not as i don't want to be spoiled. I don't currently have a Series X and i am hoping the game runs pretty well on X Box X.

I don't see much gameplay there.
Remember that, gameplay?
Re: Talking Point: Which Is The Best BioShock Game On Xbox?
There has never been a better time to play them, the first and think the second run at a silky smooth 60fps on Series X.
Re: Pick One: What's The Best Racing Series In Xbox History?
Forza Horizon is the best racing series, PGR4 is one of my favourite racers of all time, wish it was backward compatible.
Re: Unboxing Video Of White Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller Surfaces Online
I'm not gonna lie, that's a really pretty controller.
Out of my price range, story of my life.

Re: Xbox Pushes Out Update To Fix 'Empty Home Screen' Issue
Stupid question; how do i do a reboot?

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 16-17)
Child Of Light, Forza Horizon 5 and skull hunting in Halo Infinite.

Re: Microsoft Is Again Handing Out Free Gift Cards This Weekend
I got £4 Friday, though i did buy a Series X from a local Argos Thursday. Will buy a 42" OLED next year to complete my set up.
Re: Project Gotham Racing's Failed Reboot Helped Create Forza Horizon
Maybe the next DLC after Hot Wheels could be in the style of Project Gotham Racing and they could call it Project Forza Racing. PGR 3 and 4 were great and i would love to see a PGR 5.
Re: The Callisto Protocol Debuts Stunning New Trailer, Coming To Xbox December 2022
You wait years for a Dead Space and then two come along at the same time, not complaining though.
Re: Street Fighter 6 Punches Its Way To Xbox Series X|S In 2023
I really like the art style, looks much better than 5.
Will definitely buy it in the future, but i'm prepared to wait.
Re: 343 On Halo Infinite S2: 'Please Keep The Constructive Feedback Coming'

@Rural-Bandit I have been patiently waiting for LG to release their new 42" models, so hopefully late this year i will have both 😊😊
Re: Resident Evil 2, 3 And 7 Are All Coming To Xbox Series X|S Later This Year
Thanks Capcom!!!
Now all i need is an LG OLED and a Series X...
Re: Halo TV Series Arrives This March, Watch The Official Trailer
It look's hamstrung by it's budget.
Cortana looks weird and it looks fan made in places, don't have Paramount+ which is probably a good thing.
Ideally it would be a HBO production but maybe one day if it is successful it will have a big budget movie.
Re: Call Of Duty Might Be Ditching Yearly Releases, And It's About Time
