Already downloaded and going to start to this weekend (spoiler alert to "what are you playing")

Never. Too many games release for me to spend time doing replays. Games take me forever to beat too since I sometimes get like 1 hour every 3 days to play

@Fiendish-Beaver I took it as those are the photos people are using to show xbox is indeed leaving stores (hence the emptiness). MS didnt post any photos to prove otherwise, just did a statement claiming it was false.

That is the most ridiculous thing yet in exclusivity rewards....congrats on that i guess

@Decimateh I kind of get the feeling they're going to use the ubisoft plus announcement drop as the wave 1, which sucks because it is a lot of 15 year old games that most people own or have played

Hope I'm wrong though!

But they were actively investing in it?

MS and their wording. "Actively investing" - i feel like they are trying to be vague and they can never just flat out say that yes we are still making a next gen console. Not saying they aren't making one but their PR is always bull**** and never straight forward.

I have to play stalker 2, sounds like they've made a lot of improvements over the past year so looks like a good time to jump in

@FraserG Thank you, I think that was just a 'me' problem haha.

At first I read that as California had its own pricing tier lol. Wouldn't surprise me (it is where I am).

This explains them doubling the points you get in some areas...they knew this one was going to sting

Im still on that silksong grind. Lots of games coming out in October though that ill want to play, with the top one being ninja gaiden 4. Hopefully im done before that drops

Still playing silksong! After im done ill probably move on to Veilgard or maybe pick up borderlands 4.

@RBRTMNZ I know. I have a feeling because of this we are in for another couple very sparse years. All of their studios have now pretty much recently released a game, and the ones that haven't they closed. So they'll need another 4 or 5 years to release another.

Nice to see fellow crypt custodian players in the comments. Im currently playing it as well. I wanted something short and semi relaxing before I am consumed in silksong next week.

Im playing Herdling. Nice little cozy game that doesn't require too much thinking. Im pretty much just stalling until silksong, dont want to get into anything that I won't be able to finish before that drops

@Medic_alert Oh man, I was kind of hoping my ROG would sneak out in the middle of the night and go to the nearest Best Buy and upgrade itself with the latest and greatest graphic cards.

Wasn't the other one set to launch day one on xbox until like a month before release?

@BattleMonkey kind of like me but also the opposite (i didnt go back). I dont think I was playing it right and got well into act 2 and gave up. Loved the game, but recognized it wasn't resonating fully enough to keep me going. I think I messed up on my skill points and lumina stuff.

Darksiders 4! Love that series

Can't believe there are people who still want these guys in the gaming space. I was a big xbox fan since day 1. This last 12 months or so...I cant stand them. They've done what I thought wouldn't ever be done. Turned me completely off of their console and also them as a whole in the gaming sector.

@dskatter I do that too lately haha. Start the game and walk away for a bit

Most likely starfield. What else is there to port at this point? I dont see halo being ported until the reboot.

The list is looking less and less exciting to me.

Fallen feathers for me 100%. I should be done with expedition 33 by then so it'll be perfect timing.

Best game shown imo. Clockwork looks cool but keeper looked like a breath of fresh air from all the RPGs that get released

Still pushing through expedition 33. In Act 2 right now and the game is really good. However I dont think I'm taking full advantage of all the systems the game has in place. I never really change my pictose and dont understand lumina haha. Im just rolling with the punches.

Also tried Tony hawk 3+4. Back in the day I was able to pull off insane combos and grind forever...today I'm lucky if I can pull off an Ollie without eating sh**

2 years and yet they still dont have all the games "day 1" on the service

Still on expedition 33 and still having a blast with it. I thought about starting Lost in Random The Eternal Die as well, but we'll see

@Ricky-Spanish because of scalebound. They put real stuff in and it looked awful, feedback was bad and within the month after showing it, it was canned

@Ricky-Spanish 😂😂 "a serious fungal infection downstairs"...made me almost spit out my coffee

@NintendoByNature Everwild news lol I see where you were going

I'll be checking out Wuchang for sure

@Ricky-Spanish how are you liking the gears beta? Im a huge gears fan and play a ton of multiplayer and I gotta say....it is utter s**t lol. Hit detection is awful, boomshot better be a direct hit or it does like no damage. I know "this is gears" but after thousands of hours into gears 3, 4, 5...this is not the gears I have come to know. The inconsistent gnasher has put me off and I'll probably skip this one. I hope gears e-day returns to more recent gears in terms of fluidity and consistency in weapons!

"We continue" expedition 33 and a bit of gears beta.

@dskatter one is a first party title (not expected to be on other platforms, until recently for MS) the other third party with no reason not to be everywhere day 1

But i do see your point and honestly the real reason is likely because xbox players dont really play FF all that much. If I was square I probably wouldn't release it on xbox either haha

Hey you don't prioritize xbox on launch dates, we dont prioritize your bank account

Playing expedition 33. Great game and will make good progress this weekend. Also played some matches of gears beta yesterday and will play more today. I was rusty (it's been a few years) but it all started coming back after around the third match

I beat about a game a month on gamepass (I'm slow). Gamepass costs me $20 a month. So in 3 months I spend $60.00 to beat three games that are potentially worth a combined $180 -$200. Even with a small price increase I'm saving a ton of money

Just started but love the parry and dodge increase lol. I just perfect dodged 3 times in a row after a couple drinks and thought I was superman...apparently it was a patch

Keeper looks really good. Probably my favorite of the 3, followed by ninja gaiden. I honestly dont get the hype of outer worlds. It was fun but pretty average in my opinion. I'll definitely check it out though.

No Fable, no perfect dark, no forza, no ever wild, no state of decay 3, no Ninja theory, no O.D. Pretty poor performance in my opinion but keeper and clockwork look cool.

@FarmDog08 yeah I'm loving it so far. Only in Act 1 but I'm going to savor every moment. I can tell this when will have its claws in me for a bit

Started clair obscur yesterday. Pretty early on but loving it so far

Although I'm very tempted to buy Overture. Lies of P is probably the best game ive played in years (to me of course)

I finished South Of Midnight. I wanted to stop around ch. 7 but my ocd made me see it to the end. Once ive invested time like that in a game it's hard to convince myself to not just power through.

So I'll either be starting Doom or Expedition 33, looking forward to both

What didnt make sense to me is to partner with ASUS ROG ally for an xbox handheld then make one of your own a year and a half later. Are you trying to compete with yourself?

Humanity is a fun little puzzler if anyone is into that type of game.

Well, I hate myself. On Chapter 11 of south of midnight and I now feel I have to finish it. I know if I play something else I'll never go back.

The game was okay, but quickly dropped off for me. Very repetitive, very bad combat, very cool story.

I have games like Doom, Clair Obscure, and Oblivios remastered downloaded but here we are....south of midnight it is.

@bensondog every company's goal is to make a profit every year...not break even. You are in the minority with that logic (seen by the record profit numbers) so I'm sure they are okay bensondog from pure xbox is boycotting them

Couple locations near me in LA i could go to
