I'm so glad Xbox One toned down some of the always online rubbish before it actually launched. It wasn't that bad, fortunately. I have to say Xbox One user experience was pretty meh compared to Xbox 360 in the first year and half or so.

These days, Xbox One and Series S/X are pretty great, but unfortunately ever since the Xbox One launch I've adopted the "let's not get too hyped up about this because Microsoft just might drop the ball a little bit" mindset. Especially as a Halo fangirl.

It is a tough time to be a Halo fan. I feel your pain.

I'm on PC and Halo stutters hard on a system that meets the recommended systems requirements. Tough time indeed.

Yeah I still remember back when MS just yeeted all this shit out. Basically killed their sales for their generation. And gave Sony that absolute banger of a trolling chance.

They lost me forever just by trying that shit. I've been PS ever since.

I've personally had a grudge against sony for years now after they robbed me of otherOS, that combined with their rootkit BS and blocking me from paying for something with a giftcard because I don't remember the 3 digit code on a credit card that stopped existing years ago.

For reference, I don't trust either Sony or MS to do the "right thing" but MS hasn't slighted me yet
