That is good news and hopeful this format will be more to the point. We don't need 10/15 of chat with the devs but some bullet points and gameplay with and air time of 30/40min
I would prefer a more methodic aproach (Dark souls remastered is still my favourite in the series by a longo margin) but I will keep and eye on the game
@Nintendo4Sonic welcome to the community! I do love Gamepass and play a lot of games this way but since I got a series X mid 2021 I bought 46 physical games across all Xbox generations (altough not many recent released and some are games I played first on GP and then later added to the physical collection)
I said 16-20 but it may be above 20 in the end. Almost all of them physical as I like to collect (at least 5 are of games I adored playing on GP and got the physical copy at a good price). Also I believe Crisis Core is the only new game released, with elden ring as a close call but on the used market after a couple of months
@Snake_V5 why? There are already a lot of people that buy games at discount either used or because they waited for a sale. Also you're are paying for a service with games... It is not like they are giving games for free
@Snake_V5 why is that a bad thing? And bear um mind I bought 20+ games this year altough only 3/4 day one. There are too many games in the market and most of them are too expensive for what they offer.
I will give it a F rating as it has been quite pior but above all as since they stopped giving old gen games they did not even thought about giving one extra game for the current gen...
I really liked cyberpunk (played after current gen patches) but the Witcher 3 is literally my favourite game of all time. I have played it first on switch and again to credits on series X but left the end game and DLCs for the current gen version (looking forward to it this holidays)
My plan was to continue both pentiment and persona but then I started Vampire survivors... It is almost a cookie clicker game but I simply cannot out it down!!
Not elden ring for me (played it for about 70h and at some point got bored and never came back. I much prefer all Dark Souls with their set of dungeons instead of open world). I really liked As dusk falls but I have yesterday started Vampire survivors and oh Boy... It may well take the cake!!
I like smart delivery, quick resume and fast load times like any other reasonable person but by far my favourite feature is not even an exclusive of it but it is Game pass...
I finished or played for a good chunck (at least 5/10h until I retired them) 22 out of those 75 although some of them I completed on other systems prior (for instance desde cells, dragon quest or Skyrim). Let's see If the number evolves with time
@Snake_V5 PC game pass is growing a lot most likely because the install base is still very small. I am assuming the Xbox game pass (+ ultimate) should be at least 80/90% of the subscriptions. But I actually was introduced to it by PC GP and only after it I bought my first Xbox ever.
Does not surprise me in the slightest due to the price and GP. I am also new to Xbox ecosystem (although I started on PC game pass and then bought a series X)
I am not the biggest fan of the anniversary edition (and I actually still enjoy the OG one in terms of Gameplay). On the other hand I love the reboot series too (less the third one) and for me getting a new game in that series that works as a sort of remake of the original could do the trick
If necessary I can compromise but I will allways prefer a 1080p 60fps over any extra resolution at lower frame rate. For instance I never even try Quality modes when given the choice.
This game gets worse every minutes it gets closer to release. As busy as it is this holiday season it will bomb massively for sure.
And when devs tell me i am stealing from them because 60$ in 2000 is equivalent to 90$ in 2020 and ignore that in 2000 100% of the games were physical with included cost of manufacturing, transport and third party sellers while now it is 80%+ digital where all that is profit...
By far my favourite is one that I don't thinkit released on Xbox and is pretty much never talked about and it is Porsche Unlished. I absolutely adored that game back in the day and altough I played a bit of others never really liked any apart from that one
Played the game one year after launch when it got the current gen upgrade and loved it. What CDPR did prior to launch was ***** but it is a good reminder that people should never preorder games regardless of the publisher.
I will give it a try next month after coming back from holidays. Before playing I have mixed feelings as I definitely saved scumm my way through Dishonored and I suck at FPS on console so not sure how manageable the roguelite difficulty will be. Also this will be 100% an offline play for me.
@Lavalera cannot say the game has aged that well. The multiplayer was some of the best times I had for sure and it will be nice to be in the jungle above 10 FPS lol.
@Bleachedsmiles actually I checked after and it appears they never said in all words but that they scrapped development on engine red (their own) and were totally moving to unreal which let many to speculate about what that means to the MP version. Don't know but I wouldn't expect it and if it comes it will be a nice surprise (hopefully)
I can see it coming but probably not as their next project in line. Underneath the bugs and shady marketing cyberpunk is a very good game (altough not to the extent of wild hunt)
It is hard to say as I remember Sonic took me a lot of time to beat (at end of the first day I could not beat even the first level and I struggled a for a long time on the boss of area 4, one day during christmas I passed it and managed to finish the game as everything else was fine) but probably the game I finished first was tazmania also on mega drive (a game I realized recently is known as one of the worst game on the system with terrible gameplay but I don't remember it like that and quite liked it)
@pip_muzz I betvthe number will remain around the 400+ games, growing some month's and getting lighter in others. Cannot agree with the quality of the latest entries as I liked them quite a lot (not so much if you rely on the service for day one AAA releases)
I won't be interested just because i got bored of waiting and just emulated MGS and I am now playing the HD collection on Xbox (should finish MGS3 next week at the latest)
I do t think I ever pre-ordered a game on Xbox. Even if I preorder one I do it just a couple of days before release to have the 15% discount but already knowing more about the game. The exception are JRPGs (mostly on switch) that tend to be hard to find around here if not preordered
@HarmanSmith yep that one lol. Not my cup of tea tbh as I feel the game in third person would be a lot better but I understand they wanted the immersion of the experience.
@uptownsoul I will say I liked that EA play was on gamepass but mostly because I wantef to play stuff on their backlog (ME3 and Andromeda) DA I, SW JFO, the one with parkour (cannot remember the name lol) but moving forward I don't expect much from them
Interesting how brawlers are having a comeback with this era after a big low of about 20 years or more. I played my fair Share of them back in the day but like fighting, racing and fps I lost the love for them. But as it is on GP I might give it a try I guess...
I started watching 45min into so I could skip all the boring parts and in that way was passible. However 90% was just teasers with close to no gameplay or ruining a goodl ooking one with the words "survival MMO"...
I will go for xenoblade. Regarding elden ring although I have not finish it yet I am far into (level 120+) and I don't understand all the hype about it. As a souls game I would say it is easily the weakest of all. The formula works much better on a smaller scale (altough I like to fight on horse)

Re: Talking Point: Can You Remember The First Game You Ever Completed?

Re: Talking Point: How Often Do You Pre-Order Games For Xbox?
I do t think I ever pre-ordered a game on Xbox. Even if I preorder one I do it just a couple of days before release to have the 15% discount but already knowing more about the game. The exception are JRPGs (mostly on switch) that tend to be hard to find around here if not preordered

Re: Rumour: Amazon Wants To Buy EA, Formal Offer Has Been Made
@HarmanSmith yep that one lol. Not my cup of tea tbh as I feel the game in third person would be a lot better but I understand they wanted the immersion of the experience.
Re: Rumour: Amazon Wants To Buy EA, Formal Offer Has Been Made
@uptownsoul I will say I liked that EA play was on gamepass but mostly because I wantef to play stuff on their backlog (ME3 and Andromeda) DA I, SW JFO, the one with parkour (cannot remember the name lol) but moving forward I don't expect much from them

@Widey85 I would just add star wars jedi survivor but yeah, not much left that I care about.
Re: Reaction: Will Xbox Follow PlayStation In Raising Console Prices?
@pip_muzz these are my exact thoughts. Sony did it in markets where they sell bangers above Xbox (the only one I am not sure is México where I allways heard Xbox sells very well) because they can. In the US they would feel it quite a lot more.
Because of that I don't feel Microsoft will raise it this gen (or at least any time soon)
