I am still on the fence if I will go ahead with my reservation for the deck. On one hand I would play more of the PC games and do a ultra emulation machine but paying 600€+ just for that when I mostly play GP games nowadays...
After last month everyone was already complaining and now we have quite a Banger
P.s: I was actually looking at physical copies of gotg but could not fork it at 40€ as in the back of my mind I was seeing this coming to GP sooner or later this year
Still going on cyberpunk and I am loving it. All quests (either story or side) are interesting. I am having a bit of bugs as the game progresses (mainly áudio glitches) but nothing ground breaking
I tried out cyberpunk last night and it runs ok. Decided to grab a physical copy as it is still fairly cheap and I can see it go up now that the game is "finished"
I will keep a look at it. Regarding their statement on NFTs and the rest well I remember when CDPR was the gamers darling for refuting lootboxes and everything but 2020 showed a different face...
I gave it a solid B. My whishlist is allways growing and is currently above 100 while I finish 2-3 games per month on it. Yes, it has mostly raised through indies but that is not an issue in my book lol
I have only played a bit of the campaign but the way I see itit looks like they will be handling more like sea of thieves that changed over the years but in a more slowly way. But that is not a free to play game...
@SacredPYRO I will at least until I got really frustrated as the game is also fairly hard so far. You touched on a good point. I played FF X for the first time a couple of years ago and found the va to be quite good compared to the expectations I had and I find this one much much worse. Also not sure if it is a compatibility issue but some cutscenes mid battle lack sound (it happenned twice to me already)
I have been playing Lost odyssey ( still early on at disk 1). So far I am not hugely impressed as the voice acting is the worst I remember which is strange for a game of 360 era and the combat is just ok so far. However I am hoping itvwill get much better as the squad Numbers increase
To be expected after this massive blow but things are not so dark for PlayStation as I have read online lol. They still have a lot of followers. For my part I want to believe this will make things better at Blizzard so we can have some good games from them on gp
The survey was done on big Xbox markets where all services are available as it completly lacks rewards support that is still only available at a small number of countries (with even many european countries out)
I actually played today and finished in a single sitting. It has a few odd things that I feel are not well explained but it is fairly enjoyable (and as I am not a fan of thrillers it had just enough for me not to turn it off)
@LtSarge absolutely, I also played the game last year so after the launch problems were ironed out. The main story and overall narrative are quite good and all the things you mentioned make it the best one in the series in terms of gameplay. Obviously it does not have shepard, that it was a fantastic protagonist but it is overall an excellent game today
I love the first one as it has the best story and characters and I actually like its RPG mechanics (by mid game my sniper rifle was a beast). Now i will be controversial as my second favorite is Andromeda
I have finished Shadows awakening yesterday and still not sure what will I play next. Maybe restart the Witcher 3 (my Goat) or finally give a chance to dishnored... Oblivion would be good too
The first games I played were ori and the Will of the whisps (I had already played the first one) and the fable trilogy as it was my first Xbox system and they are totally worth it nowadays. My favourite game so far is nier automata and it was a total surprise. Also any mass effect or dragon age of you missed those
I will finish the gunk as I am already about 3h in and it does not look like it will get harder or more complex. It is nothing to write about but it is like confort food in a way. Then I will keep going on Shadows awakening that I am enjoying more than I was expecting and let's see if I go back to Crash 4 on switch (I have not touched it in at least a couple of weeks)
I have also pre downloaded the gunk altough I am a bit worried that we did not see much in terms of gameplay yet. Let's see how the transition to a bigger budget 3d world goes
Finished Dante's inferno as part of the monthly club, had a try at halo (first time in the franchise) but has been at least 15 since I cared about fps games and I just got to the open world and I know I prefer the linear areas and story focused so I am pretty sure it is it for me. Have been playing outer worlds the most, I was expecting to be close to been done with it on the 20h mark but I feel now i am maybe half way through as I am trying to fill every sidequest.
While companies policies can change 180° ratter quickly it is good to hear nonetheless. Let's face it Microsoft at the biggining of the last gen was the first to embrace mtx and I would like to avoid similar thing this gen
I will be checking mortal shell for sure. My friend Pedro I have tried a demo before and did not click but I may give it another go. Don't really know the rest but maybe there is there a few more gems.
@Tharsman there is a trend in that direction but it is still a small market (when compared to US and europe). I have nothing against PC, actually I have been a casual PC gamer most of my life and only moving more to consoles in the previous gen (with switch)
@Tharsman I don't think PC gaming is big in Japan at all. The biggest markets are handheld and mobile by a country mile (reason why switch is selling best in that region and I believe already surpassed Wii Numbers but not 3ds yet)
I will definitely get my hands on San Andreas as it is the only game on the trilogy I really wanted to play (had a go at 3 for the first time a few years back and did not find it very appealing, vice city I completed back in the day but do not feel the need to go back yet but San Andreas only played a bit on a PS2's friend)
Got a series X in June after getting GP on PC a few months prior. It is my first time on the Xbox family and I really like the system. The UI is nothing to talk about but it is snappy and that is all I want. Quick resume could work a bit better at times but when it does (most of times it does) it is fantastic and gamepass is the best value in gaming, period.
Good update, just a shame that I have also ran across the mãos several times until I finally found them (and also checking some YouTube videos and going at the same time to see if I had missed any)

Re: Talking Point: With PSVR 2 On The Way, Do You Wish Xbox Also Had A VR Headset?
Not for me. There is nothing for me in gaming that beats laying on the couch with a controller (under a blanket even better if the weather allows)
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 1-2)
@Nightcrawler71 yeah I would love for a 4k 60fps but I have played the whole game and expansions on switch so this is already a big improvement...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 1-2)
The Witcher 3. It feels so good to play this for a second time and try to fix the outcomes I was not happy with

Re: Talking Point: What Have You Bought In The Xbox Black Friday Sale 2021?
Symphony of the night, dragon's dogma and the Witcher 3 full edition (all Xbox)
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 20-21)
I am playing the messy San Andreas. It is a terrible port but the game is still so much fun. Also playing Crash 4 every once in a while (on switch)

Re: Xbox Series X|S Appears To Have Already Surpassed Xbox One's Lifetime Sales In Japan
@Tharsman there is a trend in that direction but it is still a small market (when compared to US and europe).
I have nothing against PC, actually I have been a casual PC gamer most of my life and only moving more to consoles in the previous gen (with switch)
Re: Xbox Series X|S Appears To Have Already Surpassed Xbox One's Lifetime Sales In Japan
Good to see but as Xbox One numbers were very disappointing the real target for comparison should be 360 (that I believe it sold close to 1M)
Re: Xbox Series X|S Appears To Have Already Surpassed Xbox One's Lifetime Sales In Japan
@Tharsman I don't think PC gaming is big in Japan at all. The biggest markets are handheld and mobile by a country mile (reason why switch is selling best in that region and I believe already surpassed Wii Numbers but not 3ds yet)
Re: Four More Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (November 11)
I will definitely get my hands on San Andreas as it is the only game on the trilogy I really wanted to play (had a go at 3 for the first time a few years back and did not find it very appealing, vice city I completed back in the day but do not feel the need to go back yet but San Andreas only played a bit on a PS2's friend)
Re: Reaction: Looking Back At An Excellent First Year For The Xbox Series X|S
Got a series X in June after getting GP on PC a few months prior. It is my first time on the Xbox family and I really like the system. The UI is nothing to talk about but it is snappy and that is all I want. Quick resume could work a bit better at times but when it does (most of times it does) it is fantastic and gamepass is the best value in gaming, period.
