@AlienigenX I had such a good time playing dante's inferno a few years ago and I generally don't even like hack and slash games. Still wish they'd made a sequel on dante's purgatory or sth, alas.
Evil West is co-op btw for those interested, very underappreciated feature that doesn't get the highlight it should. Granted, you play the same character and only the host carries progress iirc so not the best co-op in the scene but def recommend if anyone wants to play with a friend.
@Mindurbiniss ya making me feel bad man 🥹🥲
Also, about Call of Cthulhu. The game was more linear than The Sinking City.
I think that definitely helped because TSC being open world didn't have all that much going for it iirc.
Anyway I HOPE Frogwares has learned from the first installment and makes a better game now. Again, a bit like how Spiders' games incrementally get better.
Looking forward to seeing what they'll do with Greedfall 2, another part of me wants nothing to do with the game though.
@BRT15 I've missed out on the console gens from that age but yh
It surprised me how out of date the game was, a complete opposite of a technological marvel even compared to some broken games.
The game didn't even look that good but was lacking on the performance side as well 😂
Friend of mine bought it for me but I would've been so pissed if I had spent my own money on it.
This is one of those games where it just irks me how ***** it is.
Thought Call of Cthulhu did it all better.
Mine's even worse, keep getting a wishlist notification about Lords of the Fallen being free to play.
Can't even remove it from my wishlist or add and remove to get rid of the notif 😭😂
Wish I could play Lords of the Fallen tbh Got a random notification from the store yesterday saying it's f2p for a limited time but it isn't actually. Maybe it's getting added to gamepass soon 👀 Otherwise will be playing Wild Hearts, almost finished it. What a magnificent monster hunter like game jeez 😮💨
Grounded was surprisingly great, despite my dislike of survival games. But Outer Worlds takes the crown. Not bloated, just a perfectly balanced bite sized rpg.
@Kaloudz booted it up earlier. Dunno if you're into One Piece but it's great to be back with the crew. Haven't even played it though, just watched some cutscenes
@Kaloudz I thought it was ugly, but I had seen so much of it online prior to my own playthrough the graphics itself didn't bother me all that much. I thought it was a decent rpg, combat was a bit simplistic but not bad. I didn't game back when it originally launched but I feel the same way yh, about the majority of 360 games I suppose. Oh speaking of ff7, the 2nd part of the remake is dropping next month. Did you still not make the switch to ps?
@Kaloudz no, not talking about the game. Game's fun but as uninspired as could be. More on my phone when I play it these days than actually playing it because of the constant loading screens. Also been getting mad frame drops recently. I don't really see why people are excited about ES6 😅
@Kaloudz I remember doing this one mission that had pretty good alien vibes to it but as far as big sci-fi IPs go it truly has been a majorly wasted opportunity throughout. Unless I magically missed em all, I'm almost done with my first playthrough.
@Kaloudz how do you mean beyond or new saga? Kakarot seems to cover the majority of canon with its dlc offerings and sth like Xenoverse 2 apparently has lots of non-canon content to it. Wouldn't those suffice?
@UndyingInsurgent95 nah that's fair, I had the exact same thoughts and figured you'd have the same strong feelings about it haha Can't wait till I get a playtest invite from 'PulluP' 😂 Also, I see you changed it 👀 What is it now The Surge?
@UndyingInsurgent95 nahhh, really tempted because I genuinely think it looks great. It's a looter shooter that's right up my alley.
But I don't think it's worth its mrsp, besides with their stance on the battle pass system I'm not really missing out on anything if I get it down the line instead.
If anything it'll be more worthy of my money.
Also, my gpu is running out next month and I don't think I'm gonna extend it, at least not right away.
The game wouldn't be as playable without it.
Only two weeks left for Banishers though, I'm not picking it up but assume you are so I hope the game's great!!
P.S. I preferred your Atlas Fallen pfp
@UndyingInsurgent95 I played the suicide squad beta for about four hours, thought the campaign was great.
Pretty small sample size for sure but I don't think it's gonna be as bad as people make it out to be.
I thought it was better than the first four hours of Marvel's Avengers.
@StylesT same, props to Troy. I thought that if they had actually gotten Ford they would've promoted the hell out of it. But the resemblance was a bit too uncanny at times.

@Kaloudz it's only about 30gbs. I've been blessed with fibre though so dunno if saying that is hypocritical of me haha.
Godspeed 🫡
Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite Obsidian Game On Xbox?

Re: Free Play Days: Try These Xbox Games For Free (February 1-4)
@Kaloudz yeah they do. Was in the works for quite a while and was received fairly well.
I haven't watched it and am not planning on either though.
Re: Free Play Days: Try These Xbox Games For Free (February 1-4)
@Kaloudz wtf you on about haha, I never mentioned Luffy.
Did you play world seeker?
Re: Free Play Days: Try These Xbox Games For Free (February 1-4)

Re: Microsoft Adds 'Vapor Collection' To Xbox Design Lab & Unveils New Special Edition Controller
Man I hope all of this will work retroactively on the new controller when it launches. Feels like a pipedream but it sure would be nice.
Re: Starfield 'Biggest' Update So Far Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Kaloudz hmm yh I guess that makes sense.
I hadn't played Skyrim up until two years ago as well.
Re: Starfield 'Biggest' Update So Far Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@IssaBrvndo yh we're talking about the same one haha
As soon as they mentioned xeno and xenowarfare I got all giddy

Re: These 10+ Games Are Coming To Xbox Next Week (January 29 - February 2)
@UndyingInsurgent95 lmao and I thought I was a big fan of theirs 😂
How do you feel about their name change?
Changing it to PulluP
Re: These 10+ Games Are Coming To Xbox Next Week (January 29 - February 2)
@UndyingInsurgent95 nahhh, really tempted because I genuinely think it looks great. It's a looter shooter that's right up my alley.
