Topic: Your Latest Xbox Series X|S Purchase

Yesterday I bought GIGA WRECKER ALT. on sale. I know is a platformer, but no more.
I like platformers and metroidvanias, so I may like this one.

Preordered Pragmata.

I am looking forward to the new Halo and Gears of War games. I recently bought a new controller and Capcom Fighting Collection.

Silent Hill 2 remaster

@el_pieablo I’ll probably be buying that closer to Halloween and I’ll play it then.

007 First light . Don’t think I will regret it tbh .

Used MS Points, and picked up Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred Ultimate. Used the in-game currency to get OW skins for my D4 characters lol It's been a fun ride so far!

That PSYKO classics arcade game SAMIURAI ACES and FFIX

Gears of War E-Day and the new Castlevania.

actually it may sound strange but my last Xbox purchase is a... Series X (pre-owned because unable to find a new one).

I gifted my Series X to my nephew because he was in need of a console, thinking I would buy again a new one soon after.

then all the AI craziness started with the prices hike.
at the beginning I decided to wait, but now I understand there are nothing to waiting for: I suspect the prices will go up for a long time.

@Pigrotto For what an Xbox is asking for a new console you can just get a decent gaming PC especially if you catch a sale. I mean hell, console arent so much a console now as they are a PC anyway and any game Xbox or Sony put out I can get on PC and not have to own a different console. I want to play Spider-man 2 cool I can get that on Steam. I want to play Forza Horizon 6 Steam has that. Assassins Creed Black Flag Remaster I can get that too.

Its becoming the point that the only console worth owning is a Nintendo and thats really only if you are into Nintendo games like Zeldas or Mario Kart. Yeah I guess Xbox will have some exclusives like Gears but I am not interested in that series so theres that.

But yeah in the grand scheme of things its becoming pointless to own an Xbox or PS anymore not like say when the 360 or even the Xbox One was around after the overhaul.

@Tasuki
you are right, and I will not argue, indeed I have a gaming pc too, but... it feels a bit like working when using it.
just my opinion.
also the little problems about Windows in general or the drivers.

I love Steam, don't get me wrong, but the console experience it is still different for me.

@Pigrotto Yep I totally agree with you on that front a PC does require a bit more work. Even to get something so simple as a controller to work on a PC takes a few more steps then a console. Which yeah that was my main draw to a console as well. I am not tech savvy enough to build my own PC amd swap out parts and what not. I would have to get a prebuilt system which costs way more then a console so thats why I would go with a console. However the price gap now is so much more narrower. Its not like when an Xbox 360 was only $300 and a cheap gaming PC was $1000.

hello beautiful people 🙂
my Series X has arrived 🥳🥳🥳

so last night I did some shopping, I bought the following games all on sales:

Lords of the Fallen (2023) (outstanding in my humble opinion);
Capcom Beat'em up Bundle;
Alan Wake Remastered (Platinumed the original on x360 with my old account long lost);
Shadow of the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition.

happy gaming everyone ⭐️

@Pigrotto Nice. I hope you enjoy your Series X very much 😊. I know it's difficult to find one in Italy.

@Banjo- thank you, my friend 🤗

Haven’t bought an Xbox game in a while, but since it wasn’t on sale for switch 2, I grabbed Alan Wake Remastered. I’ve beaten 2, but never played the original. Hoping for some Halloween fun this weekend.

Crimson desert xp is my latest buy pretty excited for it tonight.
@fraserg any coverage on this?

@VisitingComet1 Had a big backlog of stuff to get through, but shared some coverage today as part of this:
