PC Gamer writes: "So the standard F2P monetization model is already a tough sell for Halo, and it looks even more absurd when you consider what 343/Xbox charge for entire videogames. You can buy two entire Halo games for $20 as part of the Master Chief Collection—that's a lot of game for the same price as a cosmetic!"
Xbox Game Pass has some great single-player experiences, but nowadays, it's all about getting together with friends and family. Thankfully, there's a surprisingly extensive library of multiplayer titles on Game Pass to bring everyone together.
PS5-exclusive Helldivers 2 is so popular that Xbox players want a taste of democracy, and now Halo Forge will be the battleground for a Helldivers 2 remake.
Just get a PS5 and be done with it. Four Xbox exclusives are making their way over with more to follow down the road.
I remember the good old days of Halo 3 and the Forge. Some wild game games came from it.
Don't get this mentality. Nothing is stopping these people from buying a PS5
I don't get fanboyism and refusing to purchase a competitors console.
HA! All the while Xbox games are popping up in PS stores. To be honest, on day exclusivity will probably be gone and each will just provide a streaming service bundle, but why not have fun while we can.
Celebrate season two of the TV series by earning the awesome and exclusive Halo Infinite Silver Team helmets before they’re gone for good on Xbox.
Absolutely insane, but unfortunately we will never get rid of this practice now that it has proven to rake in so much money. Next to no amount of effort goes into these cosmetics. Yet it earns them more money than the base game ever would. (Not talking just about Halo here, as I know the multi-player portion is free.) It's just sad that this is where the game industry has found itself these days. At least loot boxes are gone for the most part... That's one small victory, I guess.
Well people consume this and we ask why do we get worse. We acknowledge that yall have a problem in order for it to get better imo.
Because people buy it.
Idk why this is news(probably because it's an Xbox exclusive). These are standard industry prices.
Almost no game writer includes monetization schemes as a part of their reviews and people are junkies.
