Like Xbox Live fees?

On the other hand (and I say this as a proud PS4 owner with no plans to get an X1) MS can be trusted to set up a bunch of reliable servers far more than Sony can.

The XB1 is unique in that it’s the only console that is doing this kind of computing (yes, I realize it’s not the console itself doing the computing). Yes, anyone can do it. But Microsoft said they would do it, and then they did.

I imagine the same dialogue still takes place, since those characters are there regardless of how many players are in the game (as far as I know, anyway).

when you say Quantum Break, I think maybe it’s a little time you take to sit down and drink one of these

Halo has had jetpacks and thrusters since Reach in 2010 though. CoD and Titanfall just got them last year?

It’s the result of everyone crying anytime a game isnt 1080p 60fps.

Adding in booster jetpacks (Titanfall, COD), iron sights (Titanfall, COD) and up-close stabby stealth kills (every other game ever) is all well and good, but where are Halo 5’s own ideas?

I feel like you might not have played Halo Reach or Halo 4. For the booster jet packs, they are just an evolution of Halo Reach’s Roll and 4’s Thrust Armor Ability. The “up-close stabby stealth kills” are in those too. As for the iron sights, while they did implement them to try to bring in new players familiar with…

Those other characters in that video where being played by other people. If you watch the halo chanel Sprints you can see that they took a lot of time to practice and plan out how they would play that section down to a T

Adding in booster jetpacks (Titanfall, COD),

Oh yeah, that game was huge. People still talk about it to this day.

Hasn’t Halo had up-close stabby stealth kills since Reach? And as for the guns... I mean, Halo’s always featured a mix of more grounded UNSC weapons and out-there alien guns, and going by the Beta at least, and all the footage that’s come out since, that looks to continue. I particularly like the look of the new…

I would think that’d be a more appropriate question directed towards the publisher of those games, rather than Microsoft. As the article said, it would be a case by case thing, and I’d bet that the publishers would have final say. Don’t blame Microsoft if Bohemia wants you to pay for an unfinished game twice.

So, I see some flak in the comments already, but correct me if I’m wrong...but there is a mandatory trial available for games in xbox early access. Aka, it’s a way to demo a game to see where it’s at before you spend a cent, unlike games put on kickstarter or steam early access. You can always make the case about…

I think it’s just your friends actually.

You are a great example of what is wrong with the gaming community, congratulations.

Note that a real-time FPS combat system with a low TTK means there are fewer options for item variety, because there are far fewer relevant stats, and it’s far less easy to balance.

Right? I could buy 5 decent games on the app store for the price of FF: III
