Topic: Your Latest Xbox Series X|S Purchase

@RaZieLDaNtE I bought the ezio collection last year on sale for the same price and I haven't managed to play it yet! I've played them all before and they're wonderful games, but I'd like to revisit them soon especially since I'm transitioning into a career being a history teacher.

My recent purchases were:
Gears of war Ultimate edition - great remaster, having a fun time

MLB the show 21 - didn't want to buy the new version and I'm glad I didn't. I think the show is objectively a worse game ever since they started focusing on diamond dynasty. The PS2 games had more single player features.

Alan Wake 2 night springs DLC - TRIPPY and I loved it. I did NOT expect Alan Wake 2 to end up in my top 3 favorite games.

Borderlands Pandoras Box - got this last year, slowly working my way through the franchise. I'm on Borderlands 3 now and I think every one of these games is fun, I consider myself a borderlands fan after this experience

@LeanerFasterStronger Hello there friend.
Agreed, the AC games have been some of my favourite games since two generations ago.
Some great characters and stories in each of them. Can´t wait for AC Shadows later this year.
I might get Alan Wake 2, since there will be a physical release of the game. Heard a lot of good things.
Borderlands games are some of the most fun I´ve had with a FPS. Still have to go back and finish 3.
And maybe the movie won´t be that bad..... Maybe 😜
Cheers

Forza Horizon 4 Ultimate Edition. Grab this one because of the price and before it gets delisted.

@Tasuki I just grabbed the standard edition myself.

@NintendoByNature Nice. I went with ultimate just because. I only played a bit of 4 a few years ago. Alot of people say 4 is the best. Guess I will see.

I doubt I’ll find the right opportunity to get it. I’ve never played most sim racers. Only arcade racers.

@Yousef- While it's not quite a full-on arcade racer, I wouldn't really consider the Horizon Series a Sim Racer.

@dmcc0 huh, is that so? Well that’s a relief. It’s why I couldn’t get into GT on PlayStation. The December deadline is fairly manageable. I wonder if it’ll remain on sale for long.

@Yousef- Yeah, Forza Motorsport series is more like GT. It'll might just be the usual weekly/2-weekly sale at the moment - Deku Deals website says the sale is due to end 1st Aug (in the UK at least) - but I suspect it'll go on sale again fairly regularly between now and December as it did before the delisting was announced

@Yousef- Yeah Forza Horizon is not a Sim Racer you are thinking of Forza Motorsport. That's one of the reason I like the Horizon series. They are more of and open world car rpg if that makes sense. The basis of it is that it's a festival with all kinds of events. As you drive around there's different events you can participate in. Maybe check out some videos on YouTube to get a better idea.

@dmcc0 @Tasuki gee, thanks guys. Yes, I did make the error of mixing up Motorsport with 4/5. And yes I do like open world racers so this might be up my alley. I hover over 4’s current sale, it’s 11.99 (standard edition), which is close to 3 kwd so I should be able to get it soon. I’m not really sure what the ultimate version has, but I would like to give the game a go first. If I really like it, maybe I’ll obtain the DLC before December. Cheers.

@Yousef- The main additional content in the Ultimate Edition are the 2 expansion packs - Fortune Island and LEGO Speed Champions. These are essentially like the base game but on different maps so you have more races, more challenges and more to explore. Fortune Island appears to be based on the Scottish Islands with a lot of hills, fields and a coastal village and has a series of Treasure Hunt quests/challenges to complete as well - basically finding hidden chests on the island.

The LEGO expansion is more of the same, but the map is made from LEGO - including some of the cars! The challenges give you bricks to upgrade your Lego House on this one - I can't remember if there was any benefit to upgrading the house rather than it just got bigger/more impressive - it's been a while since I've played it.

You also get loads of additional DLC cars with the ultimate edition too. To be honest, I unlocked so many cars just playing the base game that I probably didn't use many of the DLC ones by the time I bought the Ultimate upgrade later.

I'd say it's definitely worth getting the expansions if you like the base game.

Ticked a few items off my wish list, which is getting pretty out of control at this point.

Dragon Age Origins, II and Inquisition
Resident Evil 4 (OG)
Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales

Also picked up Elden Ring from CDKeys for £29.99, bargain!

As always, too many games, too little time 🤷🏻‍♀️

Most Recent, Company of Heroes 3. On the backlog until I finish Classified France '44.

I'm about to get the Age of Mythology remake, Warhammer Spacemarine 2, and Undisputed.

I may let Company of Heroes sit a little, and go right to Age of Mythology. After Iron Harvest and Classified France '44, I need a break from the "world war" deal 😂. Mythical creatures and gods, mechs, something different next 😂

Most recent pickups are Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, TMNT Shredder's Revenge. Been bouncing between the Creeds, as I'm one to drop it low for Greek Mythology, and a fan of Norse. As an orphan, the family aspect of Odyssey is a trick to deal with, hence Valhalla getting playtime.

Finally started on Shredder's Revenge. Starting off as April, and I'm really digging the game so far. Currently on Episode 4.

Assassins’ Creed Mirage. Started Valhalla and I am not a fan of the theme so it will be a slog. Went back to Odyssey as I realized I am missing some DLC.

Looking for some feedback folks. I feel like spending some coin on the black Friday deals. Here's what I'm considering.

• GTA trilogy $24
• RE4 Remake $20
• Visions of Mana $45
• wwe 2k 24 $23

Let me know which is the must buy out of these.

@NintendoByNature Hello there friend.
Out of those games, I´m gonna have to say RE4 without a doubt. The original is still one of the best games ever made and the Remake is another masterpiece of a game.
You cannot go wrong with this one.
As for the other ones, in case of Visions of Mana, you can always try the demo.
It´s on both Series X and PS5.
I do love the GTA trilogy, especialy GTA Vice City, but I´m not sure if the remasters have gotten an upgrade yet.
Hope it helps.
Cheers and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers.
As for my latest Xbox purchases, I got Metaphor Refantazio and Alan Wake 2.
Having a blast with Metaphor. Such an awesome jrpg. Atlus once again with another banger.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming to us all

@RaZieLDaNtE thank you. I'm really narrowing it down to either re4r or gta. I don't need both right now or I'd just grab each. I'll let you know!
