Can't imagine the upgrades are as popular with people otherwise getting the game "for free" as they are with people who already have their wallet out.

As for me, I bounced hard off of FH5. If FH6 is organized in any way like FH5, I may just find an X360 at the pawnshop and go back to PGR3.

Love the format, but I have no interest in Beast or Kiln. No "one more thing" or shadow drops was a bummer. But Fable and FH6 show a lot of promise. Would have loved to see a Gears update.

Good grief, people are dumb. It was clearly a self-effacing joke, practically admitting that their new game isn't as impressive as FH6, but hey, maybe you all give it a shot anyway.

"Villagers need civic buildings!"

It's definitely giving Black & White vibes, but looks really fun. Also, I think the studio should be called Twenty Toucans.

Nothing for me. A few games I probably would have loved 20 years ago. Just not the type of games I'm looking for anymore. But that's okay. My backlog is packed.

The only reason for next gen at this point is for manufacturers to cram more AI into it, so they can pry even more data, rights, and privacy from their customers.

The story, characters and setting all deserve everyone's attention. That said, and thigh I completed the game, I suspect the gameplay, particularly the combat will wear thin for most. The problem wasn't only that the combat was repetitive, but that the platforming/adventure elements were typed straight from the X360 era. It was a welcome dose of nostalgia at first, but soon felt dated and trite.

I'd love to see the developers challenge themselves with gameplay that felt as original as the story.

Still playing Expedition 33 but I know Monster Train 2 will be my favorite from May. Absolutely loved the first one.

The stream is fine most of the time for some of the simpler games, but started to lag by the fifth bridge in River Raid. I live near Seattle and can stream 4k movies without a problem on my setup, but a few of these slowed to a crawl.

And the whole concept of needing to use gems to retry challenges makes it feel like a mobile game scam. Not something that should be part of a $20/month service.

I only game 30-60 minutes a day. I'm still on Act 2 of Expedition 33 and have yet to boot up Indiana Jones, Metal Slug Tactics, South of Midnight, or Doom Dark Ages.

I need to retire (or give up other hobbies... Nah!) just to catch up.

I have one pre-ordered, but I'm mostly getting it for retro stuff.

There's a Monster Train 2?!?! I just pried myself away from the original after about 50+ hours with it when Expedition 33 released. Can't wait. Such a great deck builder Roguelite.

Why isn't the light red?

I kid, I kid. I have three of these Hallmark ornaments (NES, SNES, and Genesis) and absolutely love them. Will be adding this for sure, just wish it played the Gears theme instead.

I grabbed Dicey Dungeons because it was on my wishlist, but I've got such a huge XBGP backlog, not to mention finally picking up Super Mario Wonder for Switch, there really wasn't a need to but much.

Were we supposed to have expected that the system with the larger install base and that doesn't have Game Pass, would have had anything else? Of course it's having higher sales on PlayStation. Why wouldn't it?

Monster Train. I know it's not new, but I finally gave it s try when it hit Game Pass last month, and I can't stop. I'm loving it so much. And that it plays perfectly on my Backbone over cloud makes it all the better.

At least he didn't say the Switch 2 is an "aspirational" product.

Will be fun to pay $10 more for the "physical" version only to have it be a key.

I'd love to see Hearthstone added to Gamepass.

I count the PGR series among my all time favorite game franchises, and enjoyed FH4 quite a bit (80+ hours), but FH5's annoying personality and bloat, combined with its overwhelmingly confusing structure and menu system made me quit it after just a couple hours. Haven't played it since launch week.

Would happily play hours of Rock n Roll Racing with a broken controller before ever installing a game with "survival" or "crafting" in its description. Hope Atomfall is great for all of you who are looking forward to playing it, but I'll be rocking out with my truck out.

Would love to see Project Gotham Racing 2 or 3 return.

But even more so, I'm dying to play Culdcept Saga again. Selling my PS2 and X360 copies of the Culdcept games is probably my biggest gaming regret.
