I'm still playing on a One X. Since that's been my startup animation the whole time I've kinda been enjoying the different 'newness' of the We Are Xbox start up for now.
Finished the main quest in Grim Dawn and now starting the DLC. In Gears of War UE I'm a bit, shall we say, delayed on a boss fight in Act V and still playing around in Forza Horizon 4 between everything. Have fun y'all!
On Act V in Gears of War Ultimate Edition . This being my first Gears game, wasn't sure what to expect going in but was surprised just how much I'm really enjoying this game! In between Gears sessions for a little variety been doing some racing in Forza Horizon 4, good stuff! Have fun all!
Ahhhhhh Mr. Do and Lady Bug, those 2 games really take me back to my early gaming childhood days when I was playing those on my Coleco Vision. Sunk many hours into those 2 especially Lady Bug trying to get good enough to eat the letters at the right time to spell 'Special' to get to the high scoring bonus 'Vegetable Harvest' level. It was magical for 8 year old me when I finally hit that for the first time!🤓
Played and just finished Halo 2: Anniversary from the MCC for the first time and absolutely loved it! Now started Gears of War Ultimate Edition which is my first Gears game and loving it as well. Yeah kinda late to the party I know. Also still slow playing Grim Dawn and getting close to the end of the main quest before starting the dlc with some Forza Horizon 4 thrown in between it all. Have fun y'all!
Nothing on my wishlist went on sale...again. Specifically been waiting for Victor Vran Overkill Edition to go on sale forever. But did grab Force Unleashed II, got the first one on Switch but the second isn't available there so thought why not.
@ozkrmz Yeah I was way excited to see they had something new coming out right as I started playing and really got into this game! But then I was bummed to see that it looks like it's only coming out on PC for now. Is that right? If so, hopefully they put it out for Xbox soon after as well. Really hope they do, would be so awesome to have more and new content to look forward to!
Still just all Grim Dawn for me. I'm a decent way through the main campaign but then have all the dlc to conquer. Been doing a lot of the bounty quests on the side to help level up, take my time and enjoy the ride. Not in a hurry for this one to end.
Got my first Xbox, a One X, for $50 from a friend who was moving in December 2023 so the plan was to just skip this generation and wait for the next. There's no way I'd pay that kind of money, after the price increases, for a Series X that late in the generation. If I'm gonna pay top dollar, it's gonna be for the latest greatest hardware. Besides, my backlog on my One X and Switch is big enough to last multiple generations.
Man I've had Victor Vran Overkill Edition on my wishlist forever, way over a year, waiting and waiting for a sale. That game never goes on sale, always seems like only the same ones do! Would be cool if it finally did with this one but honestly really starting to lose hope. Same goes for Divinity II-DKS.
Never bought a console at launch. Got a ColecoVision about a year in, an NES about 2 years in, an N64 about a year in, then gamed on PC until getting a Switch in Dec. of 19 (but the ex took that after the divorce😘), a Switch OLED in Dec. of 22 and finally an Xbox One X with 5 physical games and 2 controllers for $50 from a buddy who was moving in Dec. of 2023. All very much worth it, especially the One X!
Gonna have to say the Xbox One X. Haven't upgraded to a Series X/S console and am still playing on an external SSD enhanced One X and love it! Still has enough features of a current gen system to keep me content from upgrading to a Series console especially now after their price hike. My only complaint is not being able to play some current gen titles which is a shame because if the Switch 2 can handle some of these, I know the One X could as well. Oh well, will have to upgrade eventually but now just gonna wait till next gen.
Glad to hear since I still play on a One X. It also makes sense to do last gen too if they're supposedly bringing the cod franchise to Switch 2 and developing the game with its power in mind.
The real frustration for me is they keep re-releasing Star Wars games like this, which is fine and all, but not giving me and what I think many of us want by just getting to the actual good stuff and re-releasing Rogue Squadron/Leader.

Been absolutley consumed by Grim Dawn on Xbox One X causing total suspension of all my other game playthroughs I had in progress on Xbox and Switch!
