Def looking forward to this. Dragon Warrior was probs the first RPG I played back in the day on the NES…had no idea what I was doing but put so many hours in.
Never played another one until DQ11 after I got my series X. Was such a good game (and longest game I’d ever played until I played Persona 5 Royal 🤣).
just beat the first dungeon after about 11.5 hours. Def enjoying the game this far, but keep stressing that I’m not using/building out the right archetypes 🫠🤣
@Feffster I’m most interested in Horizon Zero Dawn/ Forbidden West and ghost of Tsushima /yotei…but not enough to buy a PlayStation since my current Xbox backlog is ridiculous
Preordered months ago. Can’t wait for this game. This and AC shadows were the two games I was looking forward to this fall/winter. I know Metaphor gonna take forever , but I’m ready. It’s become a yearly tradition since P5R dropped for me to close out the year with an Atlus game (P5R in 2022, and P3P in 2023 (which is main reason I haven’t played Reload yet)).
@FarmDog08 yeah I def love Y7 and Infinite Wealth. The combat in Ishin and Y0 is really good. I’m currently playing Gaiden and I’m not sure why but I just don’t like the combat as much 🤷♂️
I thought it was pretty solid. Did t feel like too much new, but was excited to see Threads of Time, the two old man’s games dropping in Gamepass, and of course the official announcement of the pixel remasters!!!!
I probs wouldn’t buy one unless my current system stopped working; even then I’d likely lean towards the reg system as I’m someone who can barely tell the difference in these side by side comparisons
Nice. I played P3P last winter (played as FeMC since she wasn't in reload)so didn’t play P3R upon release (though bough the collectors edition). But I might play sometime in the next 6 months after this DLC drops. Game looks money, but persona games are a huge commitment, though really good, but I just need to play other games in between
I def enjoyed my time. Put about 50 hours in (30 just doing random things, then 20 doing the mainline).
I haven’t touched since the updates, always thought I’d comeback for shattered space, but probs not til next year. Too much other things I want to play this year first
I was somewhat interested in this since it seemed like like a throwback arcade style racer. Didn’t realize it was online only though 🫠 not really trying to buy something that will disappear in a few years
@andrewsqual I eventually bought Crisis Core, but didn’t buy at release because it came out right after they announced pixel remasters for PS and Switch…so was a little salty/confused about SE bringing more games to Xbox
I actually bought the crash games and Spyro used last year. Soooo to me the best part of them coming to gamepass is gonna be getting points for playing. I mostly haven’t played since I bought them for my kids
Man I def would have scooped. I didn’t play this when it released on OG Xbox cause I was all about 3D fighters (namely DOA), but in recent times I’ve really started appreciating 2D fighters again.
It seems if you played the first one, your opinion generally carried over to the second or you were let down.
I also feel it provides a game that is different than the standard Xbox fare…but seems a lot in the core Xbox/Gamepass fanbase just continually want shooters when AAA games added to gamepass.
I don’t preorder digital, but I still preorder physical fairly often (especially if a steelbook is included…I don’t care for most other Knick knacks included with physical, though the art books or soundtrack are also cool).
@Fiendish-Beaver pretty much agree with everything you summarized, especially how they treat their should be “exclusives”.
Only part I think I disagree with is third party support for gamepass. Is it currently struggling? Seems like 2024 has been a pretty good year for gamepass. Then again I have gamepass but don’t feel like I utilize it enough, since most games I want to play this year haven’t been on gamepass.
@Banjo- yeah I really enjoyed Octo 1. I think the main reason I stepped away was because it was the third game I started after getting my Series X. I was basically like “why am I playing a pixel game on this beast?” — since then I actually seem to find myself enjoying old school style games more than modern games 🤣
Just beat Eiyuden Chronicles hundred heroes, which reminded me of Octo so much
Man…crazy that they just shadow dropped. Now I gotta find time to fit it in.
Might play Octo 1 first (though I bought when on sale, I still enjoy gamepass rewards). I played about 5 hours last time it was on gamepass but wanted to play something more “modern” … think I ended up playing Tales of Arise.
@armondo36 I somewhat had that thought at the beginning of the year, when all the multiplat stuff started happening. I 50/50 wouldn’t be surprised if he announces his retirement at the event and/or that IGN interview (though I’d personally like to see him stick around)
@jesse_dylan seems like it might also compete with Visions of Mana and Dawntrail? Is SE repeating their fall/winter 2022 and about to drop too much stuff and wonder why no one buys/plays?
When that Where Winds meet game got leaked as going to be present, I looked it up. Looks money. Hope that one does get announced for Xbox (hoping it’s just a marketing embargo).

Re: Video: Indiana Jones Comparison Shows Difference Between Xbox Series X And S Versions
Series S looks pretty damn money. If they weren’t side by side I’d be saying both look money and can barely tell the difference.
Series S def seems money for the price

Re: Review: Stalker 2 (Xbox) - GSC Game World's Long-Awaited Sequel Is A Mess

Re: Talking Point: What Have You Bought In The Xbox Black Friday Sale So Far?
Waiting for my credit card to get its next cycle 🤣
But plan to scoop Legend of Mana and Trials of Mana. Might scoop a few other things, but even with Mana being on gamepass, the sale prices too good.
Though I did buy The crew motorfest and Balatro from Best Buy
Re: Review: Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake (Xbox) - Square Enix's Beloved Classic Gets A Makeover

Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite Memory Of The Xbox Series X|S Generation So Far?

Re: Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Gets Busy Meeting Loads Of Japanese Devs At TGS 2024
glad to see Xbox working with all of them, but I’d have to say most interested to see where the renewed relationship with SE goes.
Re: Metaphor: ReFantazio's First Review Is Getting Everyone Hyped For The Full Release

Re: Final Fantasy 16 Team Tells Xbox Players To Not Give Up Their 'Hopes'

Slowly trying to them all…but only so much time
Re: Starfield Shattered Space DLC Launches To Zero Reviews Across Xbox & PC
I’m interested, but not planning to dive in right now.
I’m honestly just waiting for Metaphor Refantizo at this point. Finally playing LaD Gaiden to kill the time as it’s kinda a low commitment game.
Re: 'Threads Of Time' Is A New Xbox JRPG, And It Looks Absolutely Gorgeous
I started following this game about a year ago. Was always wondering if it’d come to Xbox, but glad the answer is yes!
Re: Poll: How Would You Grade The Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2024 Event?
I thought it was pretty solid. Did t feel like too much new, but was excited to see Threads of Time, the two old man’s games dropping in Gamepass, and of course the official announcement of the pixel remasters!!!!
I also can’t wait for Atelier and Slitterhead

Re: Multiple Games Announced For Xbox Following August 2024's Nintendo Direct
Def interested in Neva, Tales of Graces, that Atrlier game, and Suikoden. Completely forgot Nintendo was doing something today.
Really hope Xbox can help Capcom fix that MT framework issue. Capcom just opening the floodgates for everything

Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Think About 'Kunitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess' On Xbox Game Pass

I def plan on playing. Did the first campaign of the demo, was def intrigued

Re: Microsoft Makes Statement On The Xbox Delay For Black Myth: Wukong

I’m still looking forward to this. In either scenario I’ll scoop when available on Xbox 🤷♂️
Re: Multiple Games Announced For Xbox Following June 2024's Nintendo Direct
@FarmDog08 wish Xbox was getting Romancing Saga 2 remake, but overall good to see most of it multiplat.
Also wish Xbox was getting the Marvel vs Capcom collection. Feels like Capcom also starting to be more hit/miss/selective this year with Xbox?
Re: Hands On: Black Myth: Wukong Is A Transformative Action RPG
@HelloCraigo Cooley. Was just curious that even with the Xbox version delayed whether they let you demo the current build on Xbox
Re: Hands On: Black Myth: Wukong Is A Transformative Action RPG
Did they miss it? If delayed on Xbox, which platform was the preview on?
Re: Two Square Enix RPG Get A Surprise Release On Xbox Game Pass
