COD 4 Remastered mp, maybe another game too. Had some other ideas but seeing a couple people here talking up A Short Hike makes me wanna check it out, as I do love a short hike.
@InterceptorAlpha for sure. I think this years iteration was supposed to be mere DLC before Activision’s greed buzzer went off.
I hope it gets absolutely buried this year by all the games not trying to be cash grabs.
I buy them every year for my son and I. This year I’ll probably just buy him a bunch of XDefiant credits when it releases. That game is amazing.
@Kaloudz i don’t think I’ve heard it, but I also play with the volume low and while listening to a podcast.
On a similar note, now that I think on. It a few of the WaW lobbies I was had to have been hacked. When I’m dumping a whole tommy mag right on them and STILL need team help and a grenade to finish them off, that’s gotta be a cheater.
It just never occurs to me to cheat in video games, or why anyone would want to cheat themselves out of a good time.
@Kaloudz ymmv brother. I dropped into some MW2 team deathmatch last night and was swiftly reminded of my lack of skills and/or hacks. It’s a good time when the lobbies aren’t dripping with sweat
@Kaloudz I’ve recently played some games in MW2 mp and WaW mp and I haven’t run into any hacked lobbies yet. I’m gonna purchase BLOPS2 and MW4 this week and give them a whirl too. I fully expect to run into hackers though, it’s inevitable with these old CODs. I gotta say though… booting up WaW multiplayer and playing team deathmatch on Arisaka felt like coming home.
It also feels good not seeing a battle pass tab anywhere
Mostly just Diablo 4. I was playing a whole bunch of Destiny 2 recently but when I got together with the clan I was running with to do some raids it reminded me why I’m not much into comms or parties while gaming. As soon as one of the guys started telling me I needed to change pieces of armor and such I shut the game off and uninstalled. I think I’ve finally had my fill of Destiny after 7-8 years.
Booting up Diablo 4 instantly scratched the looter itch for me. So it’ll be D4 for the foreseeable future with other single player games mixed in. I’m thinking I’ll go with Resi 4 Remake first.
Also eager for Exoprimal…Capcom has had a Midas touch lately, here’s hoping it’s going to extend to this new IP.
@Fiendish-Beaver I’m also terrible at combos. I can usually land a few that last a few hits but nothing spectacular. That new Street Fighter is tempting me with the auto moves with the modern combat style or whatever it’s called, but i generally lose interest in fighting games after I’ve finished the campaigns.
I have zero interest in going online to get stomped
@ralphdibny I’ll be back eventually Mr Dibny….just haven’t been in a gaming mood lately. I think I need to read a book, or do some analog type stuff for a bit 😊
Recently bought a copy of Dark Souls 3 for my ps5, will probably make some decent progress in that. I also purchased MGS Collection on Xbox awhile back, and with all this MGS hype for the remake coming up I think I want to experience 2 and 3 finally. Never beaten a MGS game.
@Spider-Kev people simp so hard for Zelda games. I remember the fiasco over on Destructoid years back when Chris gave a less-than-desired-by-simps review score.
It was epic
For clarity, it was a 6.5 to Link Between Worlds. This happened 10 years ago

Re: 200+ Digital-Only Games Set To Be Impacted By Xbox 360 Store Closure
@Cashews I mean…I can’t really argue w that.
Re: 200+ Digital-Only Games Set To Be Impacted By Xbox 360 Store Closure
@Cashews I don’t care
Re: 200+ Digital-Only Games Set To Be Impacted By Xbox 360 Store Closure
This would be a good opportunity for MS to bundle all this dross together in a package a la Rare Replay.
Re: Classic FPS Series 'Delta Force' Is Making A Comeback On Current-Gen Consoles
Would rather play a Delta Farce game..think comical shooter with inept special forces operators
Re: TMNT: The Last Ronin (The Game) Is Fighting Its Way To Xbox Series X|S
@Kaloudz I’m not sure about others….but believe me when I tell you this is as dark a situation as you want to see the turtles in.
Comic messed me up, cried at the end and got misty at multiple points.
Re: TMNT: The Last Ronin (The Game) Is Fighting Its Way To Xbox Series X|S
@Kaloudz not did I until a couple months ago 😆
Re: TMNT: The Last Ronin (The Game) Is Fighting Its Way To Xbox Series X|S
@Kaloudz there’s a video by Comicstorian that captures the mood and plot perfectly.
One of the only comics I’ve ever read that made me emotional throughout.
Re: TMNT: The Last Ronin (The Game) Is Fighting Its Way To Xbox Series X|S
@Kaloudz I’m the same way. I’ll play even a bad one. Just a fan of that franchise. It really hits all the notes.

Way to go out with a whimper
Re: Talking Point: What Have You Bought In The Xbox Ultimate Game Sale 2023?
I bought a bunch of the old COD games. Black Ops 2 mp is still poppin when you can find the matches sans hackers.
Also going through the campaigns. I played most of them back on an old ps3 account I have, so it’ll be nice to get the achievements.
Re: Talking Point: What Have You Bought In The Xbox Ultimate Game Sale 2023?

@Netret0120 believe it or not there already is….getting so many lobbies with low level players
It’s wonderful

Re: Blizzard President: We Have So Much Coming, We're Just Getting Started
WoW and Hearthstone to console please. StarCraft 2. If you’ve got the goods, put your money where your mouth is and deliver, ActiBlizz.
Re: XDefiant Won't Be Ready For Xbox One & PS4 At Launch, Says Ubisoft
@Kaloudz agreed! I think this might be the one though, really.
Re: XDefiant Won't Be Ready For Xbox One & PS4 At Launch, Says Ubisoft
@Kaloudz it feels like that, too. I played a couple rounds in the beta and it was wonderful

Re: Talking Point: Have You Ever Taken A 'Day Off' For Something Xbox Related?
A few times. Last time was for Elden Ring
I broke up with the girl I was dating when Mass Effect 2 came out. It wasn’t gonna work out anyway.
Re: When Will The Xbox Summer Sale 2023 Be Revealed?

@Kaloudz snap, my bad. Corrected!
Re: Two Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (June 27)
Seems better than a lot of prior GwG I suppose (except they’re game pass games, good lookin out Kaloudz)
Re: Poll: Will You Stay Subscribed To Xbox Game Pass After The Price Hike?
For sure I’ll stay subbed. My kids primary console is his Series S, and I enjoy playing the exclusives, when they release.
