The Gears Of War and Halo sequels on Xbox One have been disappointing: should Rod Fergusson and Bonnie Ross been given another chance after the two fan-failures of Gears 4 and Halo 5? While Rod Fergusson has now departed the Coalition and, admittedly, Gears 5 was much better than 4, you’ve got wonder why Phil Spencer doesn’t step in… Gears 4 was really bad, when it should have been great. With the rather dumb thing of ‘No next gen exclusive’ for two years, seemingly out the window before (if you can forgive me for mixing my metaphors) it had even got home to roost, you’ve got to wonder if anyone at higher-up Microsoft is even interested enough in games, or Xbox, to hold Phil Spencer to account for the poor pre-release hype that now surrounds Xbox Series X.Īnd likewise, with their big shooters. I know what I would rather spend my money on and it’s not Game Pass.Ĭurrently playing: Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Ghost Of Tsushima As an example, you could buy three to four top quality PlayStation/Switch AAA first party games for that. You may get the odd gem, but in general it’s all about quantity over quality… and at £10.99 a month it mounts up over a year. After watching that showcase all I can see is developers making bang average games.

Microsoft game pass worth it
