@Fenbops I enjoyed Medium so much. One of the first games I played this gen. I knew I was in the minority to enjoy it but I didn't know it was this bad. lol.
Played it on PS5 but whatever. This was my GOTY last year. Collected all trophies and currently doing an ng+ run. Really looking forward to Lake House next week. Fingers crossed they will add at least one gold trophy. And when that is my only "complaint" this game is a 10/10 in my book!
@CutchuSlow I think they pay Google to do that. I remember reading a while back Xbox didnt agree with this practice and was looking for a way to change it, and now they have. I hope the option comes to Europe soon.
I'm on a lovely repeat binge while I'm waiting for the new Dragon Age.
Switch: Sidequests/adventures in TotK. Series X: BG3, started a second playthrough as a Bard this time. PS5: Alan Wake 2, The final draft (ng+).
Recently finished: Shattered Space DLC. Enjoyed everything it had to offer. There are some things I wished would have been there but nothing to complain about. If you liked the base game I'm sure you will like Shattered Space as well.
I also played the Metaphor demo and it seems great!
I finished Shattered Space yesterday, as well as all sidequests and achievements and I must say I really enjoyed it. I feel like expectations was too high for this release. I came in thinking I would get a new story, new location and new sidequests. While most negative reviews seem to be mad about frame rate issues, bugs, lack of new spaceships, companions etc. I agree on the frame rate dips being annoying at times and I hope they fix it, but the way I see it, this was supposed to be a story dlc and not a big bug squash. Speaking of bugs, I got no bugs at all in my playthrough, none. My only complaint about the DLC now that I'm done with it is that I wish the final reward for finishing the questline would be new weapons, and an OP spacesuit on top of the reward we got. Everything else was good or great in my book. Planet was beautiful, story had me hooked and exploring was fun, especially in the buggy. I played with Andraje as my companion even though Sarah is my main this round. Last time I commented I said its a 7. Now I feel like its an 8. And I'm really looking forward to more upgrades in the future. Sidenote, I would love if Bethesda hosted a contest where creators/fans/modders could win a solar system to create story DLC'S in.
I finished the story in the DLC yesterday and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Running through the extra sidequests now and still have a few misc achievements left. I understand every criticism mentioned here (except for gamebreaking bugs as I havent encountered any, yet). I'd give it a 7.
@GamingFan4Lyf I would have never gotten into Xbox if it wasnt for the Series S being dirt cheap. Couple years later I got an X as well and I use my Xbox consoles way more than my PS5 and Switch. Xbox is in my book without a doubt the winner this generation, even if their sales numbers can't compete.
I am thrilled to play Shattered Space. It really is a great expansion and I'm having so much fun with it. Running around with Andreja is especially good.
Yeah. I can't even start it. A bit strange the update and Shattered Space was two separate downloads. I also had to go into the store to download Shattered space because it didnt star automatically. Trying a reboot now... wish me luck!
This weekend I'm playing the Metaphor demo. I loved Persona 5 so I'm definetly interested. Other than that I might do some sidequesting in Zelda TotK.
Recently finished: I honestly finished this game and got the plat a long time ago but the other day I unlocked the last outfits in Stellar Blade. It's my GOTY for sure with its excellent combat, boss fights and soundtrack. Oh, and the game has been completely bug free since launch day. A high quality game indeed that I highly recommend if you like action games.
This weekend on PS5 I'm playing Astro Bot, Stellar Blade (only 3 suits left to find) and Alan Wake 2 ng+. I love how they integraded the DLC into the main story, very nice touch. On Xbox I'm doing some sidequests in Witcher 3. On the Switch I'm doing some sidequests in TotK. It's not often I'm jumping between all 3 consoles but when I do I absolutely love it.

I feel like this deal will make a lot of sense in the future. In 4 years we can look back and see if it was worth it from an xbox player pov.

Personally I enjoyed Shattered Space. I dont agree with most of the negatives I've read about it tbh.
Re: Roundup: Metaphor: ReFantazio Is An Xbox GOTY Candidate As Early Reviews Roll In
Played the demo and loved it. But I wont buy it now because Persona 5 burned me out on their formula.

@Ryu_Niiyama No. Its a standalone affair.

I finished the story in the DLC yesterday and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Running through the extra sidequests now and still have a few misc achievements left. I understand every criticism mentioned here (except for gamebreaking bugs as I havent encountered any, yet). I'd give it a 7.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3's New Update Brings Mods To Xbox For The First Time
I'm really looking forward to messing around with the mods just like I have in Starfield.
Re: Xbox Wants More Feedback From Devs, Including Why Some Are Avoiding The Platform

I am thrilled to play Shattered Space. It really is a great expansion and I'm having so much fun with it. Running around with Andreja is especially good.
Re: Starfield Shattered Space DLC Launches To Zero Reviews Across Xbox & PC
Been playing it for a couple hours now and I absolutely love it.
Re: Hideo Kojima Says Xbox Project OD Is 'A Game Like No Other'
Bet its gonna be awesome. Having an exclusive Kujima game on Xbox can only be positive.
Re: Getting A 'Lookup Failed' Error In Starfield Shattered Space? You're Not Alone!
Yeah. I can't even start it. A bit strange the update and Shattered Space was two separate downloads. I also had to go into the store to download Shattered space because it didnt star automatically. Trying a reboot now... wish me luck!
Update. A reboot did the trick.
Re: Starfield Shattered Space DLC: Release Date, Release Times, Price & Upgrade Details
@Dimey Awesome. Thanks for the info!
Re: Starfield Shattered Space DLC: Release Date, Release Times, Price & Upgrade Details
I wonder if the DLC will come with more achievements.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 28-29)
This weekend I'm playing the Metaphor demo. I loved Persona 5 so I'm definetly interested.
Other than that I might do some sidequesting in Zelda TotK.

Re: Roundup: All The Reveals From The Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2024 Event
Nothing new to be excited for in my book. Oh well, they can't all be winners. And last showcase was crazy so I'll let this one slide, so to speak.
Re: Roundup: All The Xbox Reveals From September 2024's State Of Play Event
I must admit Monster Hunter Wilds looks incredible. Might buy it as my first MH game.
Re: Xbox Unveils New Transparent Controller Along With Six 'Design Lab' Variants
Don't like it. The Starfield controller is still my favourite across all current gen consoles. The retro ps5 might take first place though.
Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Is Shaping Up To Be An Xbox GOTY Contender
By the trailers it looks like it will be many different missions which looks cool.
Re: Soapbox: Gears Of War E-Day Could Be Something Special, If The Coalition Gets It Right
E-Day will be awesome. I just hope they make Gears 6 too to wrap up that story. Especially because Gears 5 ended on a cliffhanger.
Re: Rumour: Microsoft To Launch Next-Gen With Series X Successor & Handheld Xbox
I dont think a next gen system will be necessary for about 3 years. But a handheld in 2026 would be great.
Re: Microsoft Is 'Building Plans' For The 25th Anniversary Of Xbox And Halo
@StylesT If they make a custom handheld with the same design as the Halo Series X I will drop money on it yesterday!
Re: Poll: How Excited Are You For Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 On Xbox Game Pass?
This will be the first COD I ever play. Unless the reviews are terrible.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 21-22)

On Xbox I'm doing some sidequests in Witcher 3.
On the Switch I'm doing some sidequests in TotK.

Re: Phil Spencer Invites Xbox Fans To Tune Into Tokyo Games Show 2024 Broadcast
@Pabpictu is Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth on GPU? If not I think thats a pretty safe bet.
Re: Xbox Series X|S Console Sales Estimated At Under Half Of PS5 In New Report
These numbers wont change now that they started porting games to Playstation.
Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite Xbox Game Of The Year So Far?
Hellblade 2 on Xbox is my choice. I was mind blown by the graphics.
Re: Bethesda Introduces Its 'Isolated, Handcrafted World' In New Starfield: Shattered Space Deep Dive
