Topic: Pure Xbox Game Club - On Indefinite Hiatus

Also - for next month:

I've already played Amnesia Dark Descent, but what about Amnesia the Bunker instead? It dropped into Gamepass in June, and it's also a concise and quick play, I'm told.

@RDDMarston cheers added

@themcnoisy no worries mate 👍

@Balta666 vote added, unravel is a good shout actually, I've stuck a vote in for that too

@LeanerFasterStronger vote added!

Seems we have a tie between Unravel and Perfect Dark currently! As much as I'd love Perfect Dark to finally get it's moment in the sunshine having been on the list for so long, I thought I'd do a mass tag in order to garner more votes...

@ralphdibny I’ll help you out mate. I’ll vote Perfect Dark. TBH I started both but fell off both. But PD seemed like one I might go back to with a little nudge. Unravel not so much. Beautiful art style but found the gameplay very shallow and a bit tedious

@ralphdibny I'll vote for Perfect Dark. I need to play it myself soooo, good excuse to vote for it! (Unravel is great too)

@ralphdibny I'm knee deep in games at the moment but I want to see what all the perfect dark fuss is about! I can't commit to playing the whole game but I'll at least try the first hour or two

I have played both Unravel and Perfect Dark so I won't vote. Unravel is the best indie game that I've played. Perfect Dark is a wonderful remaster of the N64 classic. It has many things from one of the best shooters ever, Goldeneye 007. I hope that we get the Xbox 360 version of GoldenEye 007 officially, someday. Perfect Dark Zero is also great.

I played Halo Combat Evolved (Master Chief Collection) when I got my first Xbox and it's a solid game with some great strategic battles and moments of isolation. The first Xbox disc I got was Rare Replay, second Master Chief Collection. Two epic collections.

EDIT: I'm all digital now.

@Ralphdibny I'll toss chicory into the mix. I planned on playing it In the very near future anyway.

@ralphdibny I doubt I have the time to play it since I'm very busy with Diablo 4, Elder Scrolls Online and Final Fantasy XVI. But of those 2 Perfect Dark seems to be the game i'm most interested in if i have the time.

Halo Combat Evolved is the best Halo. I've beaten it multiple times... I could see me playing it again, specially now that my Funko Master Chief is sitting above my Xbox Series X

But the hype for Starfield is so huge that I'm replaying Skyrim. I've never finished it on Xbox consoles, so I'm trying to beat it... it's going to take a while, since I'm doing a lot of side content...

Cheers all for the votes, thoughts and comments. I've added all the votes to the list in my sig.

We are currently 4-3 with Perfect Dark in the lead over Unravel. I haven't counted the half votes/non committal votes but I will use them it it ends up needing a tie breaker

@ralphdibny i am canceling my sub so you can remove me for now. Ill be back for Starfield.

@Ryu_Niiyama cheers for letting me know, I've knocked you off the tag list for now.

Give us a shout if you want to return! 😀

@ralphdibny Probably late now since it's already July (and my vote doesn't really change anything) but I'll throw a vote for Perfect Dark as well since I've waited so long to play it on Game Club. Not to mention that I have next week off from work so I'll have plenty of time to play other games besides FFXVI.

@LtSarge haha I was actually going to mention you in the monthly post as you made a comment ages ago about how long Perfect Dark had been up on the voting list 😅

Great vote though, I am fairly looking forward to it! I'll make the post and change the thread later today ✌️

Finally, the time has come. After being on the voting list since this Club's inception. Perfect Dark has risen to the top and is our game of the month 😀 ( @ltsarge will be so proud 🥲)

This game is available on the N64, play it there for ultimate authenticity.

But it's also available on X360, XOne and Series X|S. The latter two platforms being available as part of the Rare Replay Collection (not sure if available separately)

If you are really hardcore, you could hack your Wii U and play it on there with one of the Switch N64 NSO controllers. I probably won't play it like this but I might set it up and take a photo for fits and giggles. Watch this space.

If you are really really hardcore you will blitz this and it's prequel Perfect Dark Zero this month. I might give this a try but it will depend how much FML I'm feeling after beating a 25 year old FPS game from the N64 era.

Please use spoiler tags when discussing spoilerish moments of the game. You do so by typing your spoiler between spoiler tags like this: [spoiler]insert message here[ /spoiler] and removing the space between [ and /

Some HLTB Stats:

Main Story - 8½ Hours
Main + Extras - 17 Hours
Completionist - 33½ Hours

@ralphdibny I'll stick in a vote for Amnesia Collection and Unravel

Wait, Ori and the Will of the Wisps hasn't "won" the vote yet?

Definitely vote for that!

@ralphdibny I will also take a break so you can remove my user name. I will also let you know if I change my mind. Thanks.

I'll throw in a second vote for Ori and the will of the wisps, enjoyed the first game and with no sign of Silksong, I've got a metroidvania itch to scratch!

@GamingFan4Lyf @R1spam good shout! Votes added

@Banjo- cheers for letting me know, all done!
