@Enigk i would love for that game to be available in ALL regions! But I guess the so called “third world countries” are not worthy of a full library of games.
@Cherip-the-Ripper at the time everybody criticized it because it was a “God of war clone” now that God of war has lost its essence I say it’s time for Dante to make a comeback and bring the mindless old school hack and slash glory back (Nevertheless the other Dante is still doing a great job in that regard)
All my PC friends are super crazy about Diablo and insist that I must play it, being a lowly console player myself and having played only Diablo 3 (with the voodo guy) I must say that it does not excite me so much and find the gameplay loop repetitive and monotonous (I’m the type of person that get excited at the prospect of Persona or Yakuza on Game Pass) I guess I will install it, will play a little will lose interest fast and forget about it. And will be the first thing I delete when in need for space on the Hard Drive for SMTVengeance (Hope i’m wrong and it clicks with me and blows my mind)
It has been always 2023 GOTY in my book (I like Baldurs gate, but it has Nothing to do against this masterpiece) the only thing that I hate about it is the lack of a proper physical release. Let’s hope the switch 2 version fix that.
My question is… why keep releasing “Alone in the dark” games, the franchise was already dead years ago, every new game ia a disappointment. Maybe it would have a better reception being a new horror franchise instead of trying to sell nostalgia.
I was on the impression that Xbox series X used the same blu-ray discs as the PS5… this proves me wrong. I guess Xbox should use the Square Enix advertisement tactic with FFVII rebirth and the whole “arrives on two discs!” approach.
No more heroes 3 it’s an amazing game! And artbook in the deluxe edition is worth every penny (Even if it is an app) try it on game pass but I asure you you will want to own it (maybe i’m just a hopeless Suda 51 fan) nothing for me on this Batch… since I already own control too, but those games on a service that already has Persona 3 on it really gives it value. Keep the good games coming!
I pre ordered it when they announce it. But I am afraid that it's gonna disappoint me. (the lack of footage gives me GTA definitive edition vibes) Really looking forward to play the third one.
I am a Switch and a "Special edition on Playstation" Collector, I bought My series S since I never care about collecting Xbox games, when I upgraded to the series X I did it only for the more horsepower. Eventually I ended up gettin some Physical Games for it (Transformers devastation, and Forza Horizon 3 since both are delisted, and Shadows of the damned, Dantes Inferno and Spec Ops the line because are masterpieces and playing on my Xbox with the enhancements is a bliss) but I do not Intend to buy more (except for Hi-Fi Rush.... hoping for a Physical release on switch)
Persona 3 reload on gamepass is a bliss (the main reason why I'm still a subscriber)
Metaphor looks and sound amazing and the persona team doing non persona games gave us Catherine that rocks
Visions of mana (hope it is as half as good as legend and we are set)
Senua 2 (been dying for a new ninja theory game for a long time... BTW is never late to tell everyone that DMC and Enslaved are two amazing experiences, fantastic studio that one)
Dragons dogma 2 seems cool, but I have to play the first one yet, same with the Yakuza series, love them but I am still in the second one. The other games the list don't do much for me... Avowed seems interesting (but feels like vaporware at this point) and the rest is just too western flavored for my taste
The truth is that I loved these games back in the day, TR3 was my favorite game of all time, I even beat it on my crappy PC running in like 10 frames per second. But I was ready to leave them in my nostalgia tinted glasses until I saw the price, and pre ordered it.
I don’t like Assassins Creed games (or Ubisoft titles in general, except for Rayman) to me it’s always the same game with a different coat pf paint. A trend SONY seems to be following too.
Tried to love it, but I can’t stand the mix with western RPG and shooter mecanics, I should face the fact that i’m a JRPG guy. (But im giving Baldurs gate 3 a chance nonetheless)
I usually don’t like Western RPG games (and divinity is sitting in my backlog for months) I’ll guess I will eventually buy it on Series X, but I am in not rush, will wait for a sale.
I had a series S and traded it for a Series X, but the ability to read discs was not a factor that weighed on that decision, since I always tought that my Xbox will be a 100% digItal library anyway. Nevertheless I ended up buying a couple of physical games (Transformers devastation, shadows of the damned, Dante’s inferno, and Spec Ops the line, but ONLY because they are not available on a digital storefront, and would be inaccessible on the “S”) maybe a detachable disc reader is not such a bad idea.
I love my Xbox… but I really don’t like Bethesda RPG games at all, couldn’t get into Skyrim and couldn’t get into this one either.
Funny enough my GOTY is a Bethesda game Hi-Fi Rush!
Loved the originals back in the day (I beat 3 on my garbage PC running it at 10 frames per second and absolutely enjoyed it, best one in the trilogy), and I am happy that they are available again. But I have Zero interest in revisiting them, Alas I went all the way and imported and payed a huge amount of money to get my hands on the switch cart for the Final Fantasy PS1 remasters (and those had very little upgrades), so I am not one to point fingers at anyone. Good for Lara and her fans.
Amazing price… but it”s just a bundle isn’t it? All origInal releases of the games? or there are some new menus or artwork included in the package that binds them all together.
Thank god I just bought metal:hellsinger and its DLC in the sale last week. Danganronpa is amazing, one of my favorite videogame experiences ever, , but as has been said you can only fully enjoy it if you played the previous
ones.
Nor gonna miss it, I am a late Xbox adopter (2 years ago) and I hardly got any game that was worth, and when they offer a good one (Like the ZOE HD remaster) it wasn’t available in my region and was replaced with… A world of Keflings (whatever that is)😔
The games I need in the BC program are -Black Knight Sword -El shaddai: ascension of the metatron -Lollipop chainsaw (the original, the more I hear about the remaster, the more i fear for it)
I thought that it was a 2x1 situation, so I put jedi survivor and dead space on the cart and then I realized that it was 3x2 and I have to choose another one and pay for two. Since the other games don’t interest me in the slightest, I think I will wait on an individual sale on those two.
Ghost trick is an amazing game and everybody should play it. I wanted to try Front Mission… but Forever entrertaiment is not a developer that I feel confident about.
@ZuneTattooGuy I agree with you, but since a i’ve been collecting Atlus Games since the PSP era, its just for Collection Sake (in the case of Atlus games, most of them are complete and does not require patches)Switch games are mostly complete too, PS5 and XBOX games I stopped collecting a long tome ago for the reasons you state, are just incomplete messes.
The good: This is one of my favorite games, a remaster would be amazing. The bad: I just tracked down and bought the 360 version a week ago for a very high price (at least they throw me a Dante’s Inferno copy as a bonus)
