Topic: Now Playing on Xbox Series X|S

@RDDMarston Unfortunately I don't know how often Red Dead Redemption 2 goes on sale since I already own that game on PS4.

Yeah it is crazy how companies keep the digital prices at the same price even years after a game came out. That's one reason I opted for the Series X first. Even though most of my library is digital I like the option of being able to run discs especially if I can find them cheaper then digital copies.

Akai Katana Shin finally landed on the series consoles. Been waiting for another Cave shooter for ages. Good times.

Still on the Diablo Grind. I purchaces The Witcher 2 and Tomb Raider Legend for cheap and have been havin fun jumping between the two as well.

Still working my way through Tomb Raider DE. I absolutely adore this game. It reminds me if 3d Zelda, prince of Persia, and Indiana jones all had a baby.

Such a fantastic game. I personalaly like them all quite a bit.

@Captain_Chozo I actually just finished last night! Man, what a lovely experience.

@NintendoByNature I'm playing Shadow right now. About 40% done. I think it might edge out DE. We shall see.

@Captain_Chozo
Legend was the first Tomb Raider game I decided to playthrough to complete way back during summer 2006. Had a great time with it, still enjoy it today. I actually like that and Underworld a little better than the newer Tomb Raiders although Rise is fantastic.

@Gamer83 I do think Legend and Shadow are my top 2. I am going to pull the trigger on Anniversary when it goes on sale one day and give it a go (never played).

I am finishing the marathon of all Kingdom hearts games with the final chapter so far Kingdom Hearts 3.
Visually speaking is quite the marvel however it is hardly a game as it probably has at least 2/3 of the time as cutscenes and quite long loading screens even on series X... Atm it is probably my least favourite in the series

I'm currently playing through Far Cry 5 (whenever I have the time, which lately has been basically never lol) and enjoying it more than I expected to.
I mean Far Cry is a guilty pleasure of mine so I always expected to enjoy it, although I was never that interested in 5's setting and I got a bit sour on 6's systems.
I find 5 to be way stronger than 6 mechanically, even though I think character progression was at its best in 4, where all you did gave you EXP to spend for skills (if I'm not misremembering).
I don't really like how 5 ties progression to a series of arbitrary challenges, but that's still way better than the useless gear system of 6.
All in all, though, I really like it and have a lot of fun with it, and in the end it might even edge over 4 and become my personal favourite in the series.

I've started elden ring. About 2 hrs in and I'm a tad overwhelmed and confused. I'm sure that's how most feel starting this game though. I'm not leveling up for some reason. I've read you need to find the maiden after doing 3 grace sites or whatever, but I've done more than 3 and nothing has happened.

Combat is a tad clunky but it's not terrible. The world is gorgeous to look at, though. I haven't found my horse yet either, and I heard that makes the game a lot easier. So far I am getting my arse kicked but I assume it's a mixture of my fault and the clunky controls. Hoping I can really find a groove because I wasn't able to in dark souls 1.

@NintendoByNature follow the yellow line on the map to unlock the levelling as it is tied to the main story. You don't need to go far but I also got distracted for a while and did not go there directly

Very close to finishing Kingdom hearts 3 (probably tonight). My gripes with it remain but I am enjoying the story bits in the last section, let's see if it ends on a high note.

@Balta666 ok good to know. Haven't played in a few days since I'm trying to finish diablo 3.

Was about to start the Benedict Fox game but while installing I have started Loop Hero instead.
It grabbed and I am having fun with it but not sure I will have the patience for its grind as it looks to be a fairly long game

@Balta666

Great game that

@TeamAndromeda it is quite addicting but I feel I am not that great at it lol. I saw on HLTB that the game takes about 30h but it took me about 10h to beat the first boss and I am very far from upgrading my village.

@Balta666

I find it hard too, its maybe too hard for its own good in the end

@TeamAndromeda It took me quite some time to beat the first boss but now I got into the groove and I beat the bosses in the first 3 areas in quick succession. I found that upgrading buildings is far more important than adding new ones. Now I need to grind as I am having my arse kicked on level 4...
