@gollumb82 Haha, I love how they showed his development for "love of snakes" in The Last Crusade in the flashback sequence. That also happens to be my favorite movie in the series. Haven't seen the newest one yet.

@gollumb82 Being an 80s kid, it really was a fun game! Bugs aside, I was even able to 100% it. That snake section though...never want to do that again, hahaha.

@XBOX045 I'm actually very similar to you, believe it or not. I've been with Xbox since 2008 and it's all I game on now. I have a switch, but I barely touch it. All my games are digital. I'll invest in the next generation at some point, but even if this is Xbox's swan song in regards to consoles, I will happily keep playing what I own now until the end of my days. I'm 42 now and know I won't be gaming forever anyway. For now, I'm very happy with my Series X and what Microsoft is doing.

@VoidPunk Game Pass, cloud, quick resume, a great controller, rewards, play anywhere, just to name a few, for me, that is.

Probably just Avowed. I may spend some rewards points for Like a Dragon, though.

Fun while it lasted if so. I have played all of them on Gamepass so far and to be honest, they are nearly identical. I play them for a month or two and then I move on to something else, but hey, that's sports games for you.

As I've said before, I really think Microsoft is on to something with their vision. I just think they are blazing a new trail the rest of the industry will follow. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm still excited for the next generation console and where Xbox goes from here.

@Kaloudz yeah, that's taking it back, hahaha. Tell Vern I said "Hey!"

@Kaloudz Daaang! Bustin' out the Ernest reference. I doubt half the people on here know who you're talking about, hahaha!

@The-Grezzly-Bear Silver linings...silver linings...

@The-Grezzly-Bear That sucks dude. Best wishes on a speedy and full recovery.

I've been playing Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth on Legend to finsh up the final 3 achievements I need (all around finishing new game+). I beat the game last year when it released and its still a fantastic game!

I just have this feeling Microsoft is setting themselves up perfectly for a future that most can't see yet.

@Kaloudz No in the past, yes in the Xbox version. All I'm missing are some odds and ends on the Xbox version.

I think Black is above Sigma. But I can't remember. The last non-NES time I played a Ninja Gaiden game was 2 at launch. Maybe someone else can confirm.

@Titntin I'll probably give them a go if they do everything release.

@Kaloudz I'm missing a few achievements, but not many.

@Kaloudz Take the plunge on buying the Remakes. I own 1-12 (minus 11) and 15 on my Xbox right now.

@Kaloudz I remember getting FFVII day one on the PS1 in High School. That game is special to me and I struggle with what it is now. Just my personal take. If it released at a discounted price or I can catch it on sale I could pull the trigger. I also have Rewards Points as well that could help me take the plunge.

@Kaloudz Definitely looking good for XBox right now! I'm still hesitant on the FFVII remakes because of the change to action based. I would've rather seen a remaster of VII over this current remake trilogy. I may still try them though, but I prefer turn-based any day of the week.

This might be a low-key Game of the Year contender right here!

That was fantastic! I am so ready for April! South of Midnight AND Claire Obscure: Expedition 33!!! Doom and Ninja Gaiden don't interest me, but they did look amazing for their fanbases.

Who asked for this?!

I really need to finish Crash 3. But I'm currently running through Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth on Legendary after I 100% Indian Jones recently. I'm trying to stick to only 1 or 2 games at a times this year, but I'm going to get to this one hopefully soon!

I put like 80 or 90 hrs into BO6. I really enjoyed it, but I've had my fill. I got into Prestige 2 or 3 and finished the campaign. I'll be good to jump back in again later this year with the new one.

I've been on GPU for about 5 or 6 years now. I'm very happy with it as it is my primary way of playing games. I don't buy a lot of games anymore (2 or 3 a year) so this way I never run out of stuff to play. Needless to say, I'm very content with this generation of gaming in my early 40s and I've been gaming since the mid 80s.

@Kaloudz I might pass out if it's FF Tactics: War of the Lions or Chrono Trigger, hahaha. We already know the FFVII's and FFXVI are coming, even though I'm leary due to the non turn-based design. Maybe we'll get a Dragon Quest XII reveal!

@Kaloudz I know you! Hahaha. Welcome back!

I work from home, so it'll be on around lunchtime, which is great for me.

I am low-key hoping for a Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions port. I'd also be perfectly happy with a Dragon Quest 12 release. I've had Phantasy Star and Breath of Fire on my mind too. I clearly expect it to be an RPG, lol.

I have no problem with the basic storage of my Series X.

I finished Indiana Jones, so going back to the FF Pixel Remasters.

It would be cool to get a Shadow Drop again, so I'm voting yes. Either way, I expect a release date for my most excited about game for the year, Claire Obscure: Expedition 33. I hope it's soon!

@Elbow I would take that!

I would assume whatever it is, since it'll be announced at the direct, it will go straight into Game Pass day one, or shadow dropped, as well.

I really want to finish Indiana Jones this week. I've 100% everything so far (currently on Sukhothai). I'll probably finish it this weekend or next.

Expedition 33 all the way and its not even close!

I'm partly excited, but I also don't like what they've done to FFVII with these remakes. I wish they would've just remastered the original and been done with it.

I think the extra revenue from multi platform releasing will justify continuing to develop consoles for those that want to play Xbox games and Game Pass on an Xbox. I don't think it's so much doom and gloom as some carry on about. Xbox games can be experienced in a variety of ways that meets the consumer's needs.

@Lup Now you can play Pirate Yakuza before AC!

@Fiendish-Beaver Yes! I get crazy Lost Odyssey vibes from this game. I hope it lives up!

Claire Obscure: Expedition 33 is my #1 most excited for game in 2025! I can't wait for this direct!!!

@FatalBubbles This is true.

It feels more streamlined now. I always max out available points, but it seems so much less cumbersome now. Very straight-forward.

Don't the developers get a large sum up front to be on Game Pass that would definitely eat into that 80%? Essentially just front-loading their revenue in one payment from Xbox.

@bankenrepublik 360 was great, it was my first Xbox, but quick resume, backwards compatibility, cloud, Game Pass, Series X is my favorite. I've been a gamer since the mid 80s. I enjoy the time I get now and the games I am playing today. Just one man's opinion.

@bankenrepublik 100% based on my satisfaction and enjoyment, which I would say is what gaming is all about. I don't need to play everything under the sun to enjoy this hobby.

I know it isn't reflected in sales. But the Series X is the best console Microsoft has put out. I'm happier with it than any other I've owned (I've owned a 360, One S, and Series X).

@Ricky-Spanish It's happened to me a couple of times. I don't remember ever getting anything. Only a day or two at the most.

Claire Obscure: Expedition 33 and Suikoden 1 & 2 Remake have me the most excited.
