Are these Remakes really any good? I'm just so turned off that they abandoned turn-based and dragged the game out so much.

Dragon Quest VII, nice! Just finished Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake last night. Dragon Quest I + II later this year and VII in February! Lots to look forward to for us old-school RPG fans!

@AlwaysPlaying I was blessed with the Just For You Offer and got the collection for only $30 two or three years ago. That was a no brainer.

Still rockin' Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake. Such a great throwback RPG!

This will probably be the FF7 Remake release announcement. Maybe even a shadow drop.

@M20B25 I 100% as well and it was so satisfying to do.

Amazing game. Can't wait to see what comes next, whether that be DLC, sequel, or any new direction. Please keep it turn-based though.

I could care less about the skins, but a simple solution would be to allow a player to disable the skins in game so they only see the operator that they are modeled on. To be honest anyone that wants these crazy skins makes themselves stick out like a sore thumb anyway.

@Altaria_97 Same here. I've been playing on Xbox since 2008, but I never really got into that series. Maybe I'll give it a shot again.

@Weebleman Origins was the slog for me, but I played Odyssey a few years before I ever touched Origins. I maybe got halfway through.

@Weebleman I really enjoyed Odyssey. Nearly 100% it and 2/3 of the DLCs. Valhalla didn't grab me. Still debating picking up Shadows at some point.

I would love to know where Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is right now after hitting 3.3M in 33 days.

@Tasuki Ah! Thanks for the friendly reminder. I 100% Suikoden when it released earlier this year, but I need to go back and start Suikoden II.

@Tdx AC Odyssey is an amazing game. Have fun!

Working my way through Dragon Quest III HD-2D. Such a great game.

@somnambulance Not releasing at Gamescom, just playable on the ROG Ally X on the floor. No release date yet. They did state it wasn't necessarily at launch for the Rog Ally X though.

@somnambulance Silksong is already confirmed. It will be playable on the ROG Ally X at the show.

I've been playing Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake and love it. Gonna keep going with this one over the weekend. Just taking my time with it.

Sure would be nice if Microsoft would allow me to redeem my points right now. I've been fighting with them all month about it. 165k+ rewards points and I can't do a thing with them.

@themightyant Fair point about it being more front loaded than recent. This definitely hurts their image for the whole generation though. It certainly doesn't help when the system's best sellers come from a publisher that for years and years was claimed to "have no games." Sony kind of gives the air of not having it all together this generation either.

@DennisReynolds I wasn't referring to quality as much as quantity. Two releases of note isn't really all that much in 5 years. Especially in comparison to previous generations.

Not surprised. What exactly has Sony released this generation? Maybe a few games of note? Xbox has released a crazy amount of good games in just the last year alone.

@DaveTheRave And that is equally valid. I only game an hour or so each evening due to life and family. That's why Game Pass works for me. I will never play everything that comes out anyway and Game Pass has never shortage of games. I'll buy something if Im that interested in playing. Happy gaming brother!

@DaveTheRave I like the Game Pass and Xbox way because gaming is just a hobby for me. I don't collect as they take up too much space. I rarely replay what I've already beaten. I have a massive amount of games to play at any given moment. Makes perfect sense to me and others. We probably don't share the same gaming mentality, which is cool too. Options are always better than being locked into one console and one way of experiencing gaming.

I'm still surprised we are not able to go back and play the previous ones on Game Pass yet.

@Kraven Starting with 1. I have 3 characters so far.

@Lup Infinite Wealth is such a fantastic game. I have all the achievements as well. Another playthrough to get all jobs to 99 certainly wouldn't be a waste of time by any means.

Giving Octopath Traveler a shot. Really enjoying it.

@Lup aww man, sorry you didn't enjoy it as much.

@Lup how far along are you in E33?

Lost Odyssey, which really needs a new entry.

Crash 4 and Warcraft for me!

@Kaloudz Good luck and have fun!

@Kaloudz Yeah, Golgra is tough in the Gestral Village, but I found her a lot easier in the two other optional locations. I was a pretty high level at that those times though. The one-shot Maelle build will destroy Golgra.

@Kaloudz You gotta get gud, lol. Do know that every enemy's HP is higher in New Game +.

@Kaloudz You can switch out the character on screen, but as soon as you pick up with Gustave after the landing, you have all characters available in battle but one. Im pretty sure you can figure out why, hahaha. You also have all weapons, skill points, pictos, and items and catalysts.

@Kaloudz no. You keep nearly everything but the collectibles. You even start out with a full party too.

@Kaloudz So true, but it is fun absolutely destroying enemies early on. The game is so fast on New Game+.

@Kaloudz I'm just taking my time here and there, but I'm on Act II doing optional content before taking on the Axons.

1. Clair Obscure: Expedition 33
2. Avowed
3. South of Midnight

Crash 4 and Warcraft 1 & 2 for me.

I've been hoping we get the original Warcraft games. Great additions!

Definitely a hard game, but playing on modern with unlimited lives makes up for it. I'm not doing a 100% completion, but I have been able to make it pretty far. I think I'm on the 5th world (the ice one).

I still say I am enjoying gaming more now than ever (been gaming since the NES). Xbox has some seriously great features and are pumping out great games on a consistent basis. The next xbox and it's suite of devices really has me intrigued and excited.

Playing through Crash 4 for the first time. Pretty fun!

@Kaloudz Modern it is. Thanks for the heads up.

@Kaloudz That bad? I actually just finished Crash 3 (not 100%) and was thinking of downloading.

I've been waiting on the original Warcraft games. Glad they are now coming.

@dskatter Well, it's pretty easy to tell which is a better, more polished game. Forza Horizon 5 was a near unanimous 10/10.

Self admittedly, FF7 Remake/Rebirth and FFXVI just don't interest me that much and I've been playing FF since the very first game came out on the NES. However, FFXVI doesn't appear to be the one many were waiting on, that would be FF7 Remake. If that one would've been released first and FFXVI later this year, numbers would probably look different and possibly would've helped boost FFXVI interest later this year. I think SquareEnix kinda dropped the ball with this release. It's also going to take a lot of goodwill on their part to repair their image with Xbox gamers.
