Microsoft has raised the Game Pass ultimate price meaning a near-50% increase and an extra £100 a year. It's now $30. The cancellation page was so overloaded last night, it crashed too! Hogwarts Legacy has been added yet you can get that in the sale for £8 on PC and the new price makes purchasing games like the new COD outright far more attractive. These 'upgrades' that MS are using to justify it bear absolutely so benefit to gamers who just want to play games on the pass on their overly-expensive console. Putting more games on the pass means a higher price as developers will be vying for a cut so this is also counter-productive especially if gamers collectively aren't interested in the majority of titles on there. The whole Xbox brand has become extortionate for very little return these days. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Price Rises to $30 a Month, Microsoft Adds More Day One Games and Throws in Fortnite Crew and Ubisoft+ Classics to Help Justify the Cost - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Microsoft has kicked off October by announcing a significant price rise for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which comes just over a year after the last price rise for the subscription service.

I miss the days when developers would just throw all the content in day one and people would be happy playing for months. This seasonal shite is so tiresome now.

This year's 'COD Next' served up everything wrong with Call of Duty: Nonstop ads, manufactured hype, and a stagnant game | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Black Ops 7's big multiplayer debut was loud and insecure.

Nothing will change in terms of leadership but I think they will be more aggressive with monetisation to try and overturn their debt as quickly as possible - something Microsoft seem to be struggling massively with after the Bethesda and Activision buyouts. A new Battlefield game every year has already been announced for the near future and I wouldn't be surprised if this was a condition for the takeover to be completed. I also think this will finally be the final nail in the coffin for BioWare, certain design philosophies and see a huge shift to live service exclusively. Another concern is kernal-level material going to yet another continent.

Looks nothing like the trailer - basically the same as BO6 but with a futuristic skin. The movement looks absolutely ridiculous

Yeah it's complete nonsense. 95% of stock is already landed so they are upping the price on products already shipped that retailers are selling on commission. The game pass isn't performing as well as it should, they've also culled several studios and cancelled many games plus money is being freed up and funnelled into their AI division. Plus the acquisition of Bethesda and Activision is a monumental debt on their books that needs to be turned around. I would love for them to release a detailed breakdown on how much revenue each game makes as a dividend on the game pass especially when compared to retail and projected potential missed. That would be telling.

For the second time in 4 months, Microsoft have raised their Xbox console prices - this time between $20 and $80. This means the cheapest unit is $400 and the most expensive is $800. Absolutely laughable.

Campaign looks a bit underwhelming. BF1 and 5's were lacklustre by design and BF4's was forgettable. Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3's were excellent and this game looks way off what those achieved. This almost looks like a MW2019 Spec Ops experience of just running and gunning soulless scenes and picking up weapons.
-
Saw the MP trailer last night and it looks like a fusion of games we got 10 or so years ago. Looks more polished than BO6 but it still appears incredibly generic.
-
Totally the gamers fault according to Randy.

This looks much better and I think it's free to all owners of Dying Light 2 premium. I don't think I'll be paying £50 though so I will wait for a sale. The original was iconic but I never got round to the second one as they made some foolish mistakes and it took them 2-3 years to fix them to a degree. Even then, it didn't look like it was anywhere near as good as the original which has aged like fine wine and I still regard that as having one of the best atmospheres in gaming. It's an incredible deal if you can play this for free though!

A closer look at two of the larger maps on launch - Firestorm and Mirak Valley. or

Randy Pitchfork making a complete tit of himself as usual. He stated to expect performance issues and when people start complaining having bought the game about the woeful problems that were far worse than he remotely suggested, he takes it out on the customers. There's people reportedly getting under 60fps on 5090's. 'Code Your Own Engine and Show Us How It's Done' — Randy Pitchford Goes on the Offensive as Borderlands 4 PC Performance Row Intensifies - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Randy Pitchford is on the offensive when it comes to Borderlands 4 PC performance, responding directly to complaints on social media to Claptrap back at disgruntled fans.

I actually preferred playing FM on mobile as it was a slimmed down version similar to the old Championship Manager games. Hopefully this interface will be much more user friendly and less overwhelming to navigate.
-
Looks like it wasn't very well-received on Playstation and I bet Game Pass dominated the player counts.
-
It was even going for £2.99 on Steam. I still didn't buy it🤣 The amount of content you get at launch on these games is minimal and we've already experienced half the original maps of BF6 just from playing the beta alone and I must admit I was bored of all of them in just a few hours. The only bad thing about not playing the latest MP game at launch is you miss the game at its peak when the community is alive. I'm really not sure I can justify paying £60 for this though and I'm not sold on how the developers are taking this game forward along with EA's long term vision of the franchise.

After last year's debacle, I am tempted to grab this. Looks like they've made some key improvements Also a much-improved matchday engine
-
Their last Battle Royale attempt failed and there's no reason why this wont either. I'm seriously considering not bothering getting this game because they're just going down the Call of Duty route and losing everything that makes Battlefield what it is. Looks like they're going to miss the open goal they've been gifted on a plate this year.

Good old Channel 5 Chelsea with LeBoeuf, Kevin Hitchcock, Michael Duberry and Graham Le Saux. That was their standard until the dirty money came in and they bought success. Sadly just like City, nothing will happen with this.
-
I didn't even bother picking up Borderlands 3 when it was £2.99 so I doubt I'll pick this up. Apparently it's plagued with performance issues and invisible walls that completely restrict the playing space. I'm sure the story is better than the last game but that isn't much of a feat really. The first two were great games but this is something I can't really be bothered with now.

The owner and Nuno never got on it seems plus the way the season finished for them last year was a disaster even though they made Europe. Probably best for all parties they went their separate ways.

Ah Black Ops II - they don't make them like this anymore.
