Topic: Your Latest Xbox Series X|S Purchase

I just bought Assassin’s Creed Syndicate (the complete edition; DLC and all) for five dollars. I’ve heard great things about this game, and since it received a 60 FPS boost recently, I decided to try it out.

Hm never fully understod the charm with Assassin’s Creed. Hm please tell me. Also have you played many games in the series or is this the first one?

@oliverp I couldn’t tell you the charm either. I’ve played 1 & 2 but didn’t like them. I then played Origins (got the platinum for it) and Odyssey and loved both of those. I played Valhalla and beat it but I didn’t like it too much. I think with Syndicate, the setting is what interests me, along with it being a lesser open world compared to the last three entries.

@olverp @Kraven My daughter gave me AC Mirage for Christmas which is supposed to be less of an open world game too. For me, the main appeal is the gameplay - I really like stealth games.

I didn't mind the first AC game, but really liked the Ezio trilogy (AC2, Brotherhood, Revelations) which I pretty much played one after the other on PS3 back in the day. Unsurprisingly, I got a bit burnt out with AC after that and didn't play another until Odyssey last year which I also liked a lot.

I've picked up most of the others in various sales over the years too, but haven't got around to playing them yet - don't want to get burnt out again. I think Syndicate and AC3 are possibly the only ones I don't have at this point. Is Syndicate the one set in London? I always get it and Unity mixed up - one is London, the other is Paris I think.

Keeping on-topic, apart from AC Mirage, I also bought Resident Evil 4 Remake in a sale recently. Not normally something I'd buy, but it seems to have reviewed really well and was really cheap in a sale, so can't go wrong.

Alone in the Dark as it finally hit the $20(ish) Mark. Once I complete visions of mana I'll check this out.

I’ve just bought Hogwarts Legacy for Series X for £16 from CDKeys.

I have a Samsung QN95C that has 120Hz and VRR. While playing HL in Fidelity with Raytracing I’m averaging 100fps which sometimes drips into the 80s and 90s and also as high as 120 in some cases. Is this normal because I thought it was supposed to be 40fps with VRR?

Recently picked up the Panzer Dragon remake and Nights. Glad to see some love for Saturn titles.

Not usually a fan of shooters, but am a massive RoboCop fan, so finally got RoboCop: Rogue City in the sale (used some reward points to almost get it free). Also picked up Battlefield 1 & 4 for <£2 each, so can't really go wrong at those prices.

Hello there fellow gamers.
I got some interesting games in my latest digital sale purchase:

• Castlevania Lords of Shadow;
• Castlevania Mirror of Fate HD;
• Zone of the Enders HD;
• Tomb Raider Aniversary;
• Tomb Raider Underworld;
• Splinter Cell Blacklist;
• Borderlands Legendary Collection;
• Deus Ex: Human Revolution;
• Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Deluxe Edition;
• Tales of Kenzera ZAU
  All for 60€. Not a bad deal, I think.
  There are still quite a few games on my wish list, but I´m slowly but steady increasing my library of Xbox games.
  Cheers everyone and happy gaming

@AgentCooper Hey there friend, thanks.
The fact that there are so many different type of games that I enjoy or have enjoyed playing at some point, is kinda overwhelming.
Wich means, waiting for sales to actualy add them to the library of games. Otherwise we would become broke 😂😜
Also, being able to play OG and 360 Xbox games on my Series X rules so much.
I can actualy play and replay games that I did not think I would be able to anymore.
Backwards compatibility on Xbox is awesome and I hope it continues on the next one as well.
Cheers and have a good one

Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Absolutely loving this game.

Did NOT expect to take down the golden teppo like THAT. I love this game.

As a way to support the Japanese game development community I was hot on the presses ohter day and
and bought Ninja Gaiden 2 Black and maybe more importantly Fatal Frame /Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water .

Picked up Visions of Mana since it was on sale and I have been in a Mana mood lately.

@Tasuki let me know how you end up liking it. Like I said, for half I enjoyed, but it started winding down for me in the second half.

@NintendoByNature Probably won't get to it for awhile. I want to play Secret and Trials before hand in between Awoved.

@Tasuki thats a hell of a lot of rpg lol

@NintendoByNature Well RPGs are my favorite genre.

Madden 25. With being able to transfer my saves over from College Football and the Deal for You price at $10 I figured I might as well pull the trigger.

I haven’t been playing my Series S for a while, but last night I purchased a shoot em’ up called The Crackpet Show: Happy Tree Friends Edition. I actually forgot the Spring Sale was on, and this game was discounted by a lot, being $5 compared to its original $20 price.

This game is based on an animated show, though I haven’t seen it since I’m not into shows where extreme violence is the main selling point, though I am interested in the characters and the art style, hence why I bought it, plus my Xbox is full of a lot of shooter and platformer games, so I wanted something new. I have played shoot em’ ups before like Enter the Gungeon on the PS4, so I am curious about this one. I haven’t tried it yet though, I’ll probably play it later today or tomorrow.

Hello there fellow gamers.
The games I´ve picked in the spring sale were:

• Ninja Gaiden 2 - 360;
• Resident Evil Code Veronica – 360;
• Cris Tales;
• Bundle: South Park : The Stick of Truth + The Fractured but Whole;
• Darksiders III - Blades & Whip Edition.
  All for 52€. And with this purchase, I now have all Xbox versions of Ninja Gaiden games on my Series X. As well as all Darksiders games, wich I´ve only played the first and the second.
  Never thought I would get so many digital games, but at these prices, makes it a little hard not to 😜
  Cheers and happy gaming
