I'm going to drown! For no reason at all!

If they can make it look more like the renders here then it'll be a year well-delayed, imo. Is there even going to be a lot of slack in the hardware chain much before then?

Cyberpunk didn't even get that much of a delay from its first announced release date, to put that into perspective.

Still tbd if Halo: Infinite will kill as many people as Cyberpunk will (they hosed up impressively badly with an epilepsy thing).

To be fair Cyberpunk should probably be delayed some more.

Can’t wait to play halo br and it’s mobile companion sometime in 2022.

I’m the rear end in a top hat that was actually looking forward to halo infinite mp because I originally thought it was going to be floaty space man DM and CTF for some stupid reason. I hadn’t payed any attention to what MS has done with the franchise since bungle left. Lol. Whoops!

Get MCC, I’ve been playing it everyday for the last month. Can almost hold my own now.

Destiny feels a lot better with the new patch, previously at 30fps it was awful. HDR in destiny is not working at all for me tho, stuff is wayyy too dark with it on. Have to set it off to see anything that’s slightly dark.

Lolol yep HDR in destiny 2 is STILL hosed Jesus Christ. It really is unplayable since anything in a shadow is completely gone.

The dark looks super nice at 60fps at least!

I am a reluctant (my brother likes it and wants to play with someone) returning player and I couldnt figure out what the gently caress was going on.


I had several unskippable cutscenes for the incredibly loving bad story I do not give a single gently caress about, followed by getting dumped into a mission that I was not equipped for (I was level 900, min level for the forced mission was 1050) and that didnt resolve until I equipped a new weapon.

I also go hit with 500 tool tips about incredibly dumb, unimportant poo poo about such useful information to a new player like 'you can now set your emotes at any time! do these steps NOW while you're playing this mission that we dumped you into and you aren't at the req'd level to beat' and 'did you know you can change the skin on your ghost for basically no reason? again this important to understand right NOW' and a million others about retrieving and tracking quests.

I played destiny 1 and its expansions. I played some of Destiny 2 at release. you know I did, bungie. you retrieved my character for me.


Destiny is one of those games that is only really enjoyable when its the only game you play. its so insanely complex and there is so much MMO busy-work in it that anyone who only has an hour or so a day to play games is going to be turned off.

that, and the multiplayer aspect was laggy as hell for a modern game. like not even region-filtered match making bad.

Heck yea, that was the first thing I downloaded on our new series x. Me and my son have played a ton of co-op and I've messed around with the MP but am absolutely horrible at it. I play at weird times though and there isn't always a ton of people playing, which sucks.

I just like big slow floaty space man FPS games, they are fun.

Pro tip watch Citizen X. It’s a shame they don’t have By Dawns Early Light up, even though in HD version was floating around from some stores a few years ago. Both fantastic movies with great casts.

These exact reasons are why I am loving giving up on the franchise.

It's not a bad game but it is almost no room to play anything else if you seriously want to keep up with destiny. I kept up with it in the original release, all the original dlc, destiny 2, that dlc and even put in dozens of hours on forsaken then one day I realized the game doesn't really respect my free time and I was like 'why am I still trying to climb this virtual treadmill' for these scraps of story.

The raids loving own and are almost worth all the effort putting up with it. But I just can't commit as hard to one game like destiny wants me to.

If they actually change it with destiny 3 or something, okay I'll probably give it a try but with how they've announced the next two years plus this year begins with beyond light all on the same destiny 2 base game... Yeah the franchise is just not for me anymore.

Yeah I fired up the latest expansion and it dumped me straight into a mission where enemies were one shotting me and I had I had to google to find out for whatever reason if you didn't play in a while it randomly unequips your stuff so I was missing a secondary gun.

Then the mission bugged out and wouldn't progress so I quit.

The problem seems to be that rewards is sending out promotional codes for new GPU customers instead of codes to add months. I got it resolved but it took some phone calls and it’s a relatively new problem.
Who did you call? I had that problem today and I sent in a tech support request but haven't heard anything back from them.

So uhhh do you guys know about the game pass deal?

You can upgrade up to 36 months of Xbox Live Gold to Game Pass Ultimate for $1 with the 3 month $1 trial deal. It converts all of your existing xbox live sub to game pass ultimate up to 36 months.

I just spent $150 to get 36 months of xbox live gold, and when I signed up for the game pass trial, it upgraded my subscription for the full 36 months. Instead of paying $14.99 a month, I now have 36 months of game pass ultimate for a total of $150.

Costco has 24 month sub to xbox live gold for $95 and 12 months for $55.

I went through Xbox support and got it to give me the option of having them call me. Automated/email support is worthless with this because the problem is a couple days old and the rewards division hasn’t caught enough poo poo for sending out the wrong codes yet.

I’ll pm you what you’ll need.
