Re: 38 Arcade Archives Games Have Now Been Released For Xbox Series X|S In 2026 So Far

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!

@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!

Re: Poll: How Much Did You Pay For Your Xbox Series X|S Console?

Bloodbottler

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.

Re: Talking Point: How Many Consoles Have You Bought At Launch, And Were They Worth It?

Bloodbottler

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!

Re: Talking Point: Which Xbox Console Do You Think Has Aged The Best?

Bloodbottler

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.
