I save several hundred dollars a year playing games on the Pass, so it's a forgone conclusion to get the Series X. I don't think price will determine sales really. It's more about brand loyalty and exclusive games. And probably to some degree the integration w/pc and crossplay capability.

I also hope Bernie wins the nomination, and by all indications it appears he will. I believe he's the right person to take on so much daunting change our country needs desperately.

Medicare for All is obviously the most complex and controversial, and I think it's obvious it will be a drawn out process to fully put it in place and make it efficient, with many compromises to be made along the way(allowing people to continue with their current provider for instance will most assuredly be necessary imo). Bernie has a plan to finance this plan too. You can see all his plans and explanations on funding at berniesanders.com. The link below will take you to the "How Does Bernie Pay..."page and it has several independent research sources in the Medicare for All section to check also. So get informed if you aren't, and get out and vote this primary and in the general this fall...and encourage others to vote too if you can.

Civ Rev, 4, 5, or 6 are all pretty easy to learn and acclimate to actually.

But also, XCOM 2 is a must play and you can start on easy and learn the game before attempting the harder/more challenging diffs. The game is so good and addictive, it won't matter that much as it's hooks will get in ya, and you'll be playing, watching, and reading about it for months. Additionally, WotC is a ridiculously great DLC for XCOM 2, along with some smaller fun add-ons that just add more great content and depth to an already awesome experience.

Cyberpunk easily, but looking forward to the next Doom, Halo Infinite, and Forza Horizon 5, set in Japan & Brazil, and due in Sept. should be another multiple year Forza game for me.

There's a lot of development left and changes will happen for sure but what they showed, and especially the demo people streamed live yesterday looked very promising. Also it has been stated that you can play the game solo or in 4 person groups with very limited MMO interactions, if any at all. Devs have repeatedly mentioned their concern for the players to experience the dark and gruesome vibe of this game, and the feeling of solitude of the lone avenger and explorer, especially in the campaign.

But watch some vods and see the world boss battles w/up to 100 players. It looks pretty awesome, and the MMO lite framework for D4 is what makes that and whatever they create in the future, possible. Trading(mostly via clans perhaps)is a cornerstone feature, and cosmetic micros have been confirmed in several interviews.

Pretty much instantly charmed. The descriptions of aptitudes were clever and some were downright hilarious. This gonna be gooots. <3 Obsidian

Yeah saw him on the news in a short interview. It showed him in a GB vid w/all the dudes also making that blink. He called the gif "incredulous". Love me some Drew. :-)

Halo CE was transformative, and a real eye opener for me, so that.

Greats that deserve to be mentioned: Halo:Reach, MW2, CoD4, and Rainbow Six Vegas 1&2 all come to mind.

Just played for a few hours as FL4K, the pet master, and there are many qol improvements that I really like. The game runs and looks really good too(on X1X). The new characters are interesting(so far FL4K especially:) with lots of new skills and abilities. The skill trees are also set up differently, and for the better I think. You won't have to go to the bottom for the capstone necessarily in any tree. More mixing things up, different skills from all the trees. Should make for some interesting build diversity.

Overall the game seems nicely modernized and most of the annoyances in BL2 have been addressed it seems so far. The mantle now in the game is really nice. I love the series and have put in thousands of hrs. between the first two, so I'm more than cool that Gearbox played it a bit safe. There's still plenty that is really welcomed and it feels fresh with the four new characters, even the siren, Amara, has some significant changes to her playstyle from Maya.

If you love Borderlands, or looter shooters in general I really don't get why people would not play BL3 because of Pitchford's BS. You can quickly see how much love was put into this game by the devs and they deserve more consideration imo. Any duders on xbox, add me to co-op some BL3: GT=PWEID5.

The Beyond update is just in 2 days. Lots of new stuff.
