@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.

@ScalenePowers FFXIII is way better than the narrative about it.

@Lup Definitely unto each their own. Hate it isnt working out for you. For what it's worth, a little trick...the correct path is lit up somehow. Usually by lamps or something. Happy gaming my friend!

@Lup The story is amazing. If you just want to burn through it, put it on Story mode and just play the main game. The zones really are small and easy to get through, though.

@Lup I only felt a few zones were confusing. I hope you enjoy it. The game is simply phenomenal!

Fired up The Alters last night. Pretty interesting game. I'll keep with it for a little longer to see how it goes.

@FatGuyInLilCoat This right here. I don't have the time or the extra income to buy every game that comes out. Playing games on Game Pass fits my gaming needs perfectly, even if the price goes up. The day it becomes too much or isn't giving me value is when I decide to stick with what I have and wind down my gaming hobby. I'm 43 and can't play games forever anyway.

I expected VII Remake sooner than fall. Not super excited for either, but super happy Square Enix is releasing on Xbox again. FF Tactics is a day one purchase for me though!

Some great Game Pass reveals and possibly FFIX would be fine with me. I wish I didn't have to wait until September for FF Tactics, but at least it's coming.

@FatGuyInLilCoat So jealous. I'm on New Game+. I'd love to experience Expedition 33 from scratch again. Such an amazing game. Have a blast and take your time.

@ScalenePowers Very underrated game. I loved it back at release! A FFXIII Trilogy Remaster would be great!

Either keep going with playthrough 2 of Epedition 33, but I might finally start FFXII again. Maybe we'll get some new shadow drops tomorrow as well. Exciting weekend for sure! Can't wait for the Xbox Showcase!

D for me. That was really boring and nothing of interest. Ready for Sunday!

Im excited to see what they've been cooking! A year ago Expedition 33 came out of left field and blew us all away. Who else might they be partnering with, let alone internally working on?

@Kaloudz I was going to post in the chat if anyone had checked in on you to make sure you're still breathing! I got my FFT announcement and you got Crash 4. Things are looking good!

My dream has come true! I don't need FF7 Remake, Rebirth, or XVI! Day one purchase for me! One of my top games of all time.
