Finished the campaign on Borderlands 4 but still finishing up some of the extras, side missions and end game stuff. But most of my time this weekend is going into the excellent Outer Worlds 2.
@DeadSpace Konami definitely mishandled it for a while there but not as badly as EA. Now they have released 2 great Silent Hill games in 2 years meanwhile and there is another movie coming out. Where as Dead Space has been one remake and then them saying it didn’t do well enough so the series gets to rot again for the next decade. Pretty crappy of EA but at least we got Cronos.
@DeadSpace Silent Hill is beating out Resident Evil and Dead Space over on the poll at IGN rn. I do think RE is the most popular of the 3 and Silent Hill after it and than Dead Space but only because how EA has mishandled Dead Space over the years.
@themightyant that’s where I always come back to. People have already, for the most part, chosen their platforms and a lot of people are not going to buy two identical consoles for a few games. Now if they would eat money for a couple years and made all games (besides COD because contracts) exclusive this year being very solid and next year looking ever better. I would be curious if it would start to turn heads and how much money they would be eating in the end just to get more hardware out there.
I’m not a fan of exclusives. But there is a side of me that wonders, what it would have looked like this year if Doom, Outer Worlds, Avowed, South of Midnight, Keeper, Ninja Gaiden 4, Oblivion Remastered had ALL been exclusive to Xbox and Xbox Series X was at the same price point as PS5, if it would have moved the needle at all.
@Kezelpaso I just checked the store and I can view and install games. Haven’t tried to purchase anything yet though. Installed Halls of Torment off Gamepass to check.
@Kaloudz I am very excited for this console as well. I’m a pretty diehard Xbox guy as well. I like their games and their hardware. Big fan of Gamepass and throwing in Steam and other storefronts, getting rid of paid online play and getting some extra horsepower will all be worth the price. I am optimistic but it’s a long wait.
@Banjo- I would say Infinite, Halo 4, Halo 5 is how I would rank the 343 games. I really enjoyed Infinite and Halo 4, great games. Halo 5 I also enjoyed especially the MP, the campaign I enjoyed but it didn’t feel as fleshed out as Infinite and 4. Still I’ve never played a bad Halo game, the internet is just full of exaggerating negative Nancy’s lol
@Nintendo4Sonic I agree. The game was great. The post launch support not so much. Hopefully now that they are not using the Slipspace engine and they have gotten rid of a lot of the people making those not so great decisions. I am optimistic for Halo’s future.
@BaldB3lper78 that comment was for the person replying to my original comment saying they were wanting to save up for the next Xbox which, by reports, will be sporting a higher price tag. What you do with your money is no concern of mine.
@jesse_dylan it’s not coming until 2027 from the sounds of it. Just putting aside $10 a week would get you probably about where you would want. Would put you over $1,000 saved up for release.
This is a good way for Halo Studios to move forward. Focus on campaign while having a seperate team working on a continually evolving MP effectively separating the two games so each team can put 100% focus into each.
I look at it like this, Halo and even Gears are not going to generate the revenue they need to be successful on just the Xbox. They want these games to be huge hits and the only way it’s going to happen is by putting it on the platforms with the most users. Xbox lost the console war. 🤷🏼♂️
This is what I wanted to see. A powerful Console/PC hybrid. I don’t mind paying more for something that opens the floodgates but also comes with the convenience of being a console. Wonder if they will unveil it next year.
I just want them to release it next year at this point. Series X/S is dead in sales, they desperately need something to get some sort of excitement into the brand. Well until we all see the price anyways.
I don’t play Call of Duty, or Fortnite and the Ubisoft classics adds nothing I already don’t own that I was interested in. So really the price hike does nothing for me at all so I will move down a tier to Premium and buy the games I am wanting most, like Outer Worlds 2, and wait on the others to come to the sub that I am fine with waiting for, like Keeper and Ninja Gaiden 4. It sucks because Ultimate was such a great deal but oh well, most of the games I am playing haven’t even been GP games anyways (Borderlands 4, Dying Light The Beast, Metal Eden, Helldivers 2) and really out of all the games I was planning to get coming up here Outer Worlds 2 was the only GP game I was gong to play right off the bat. So no dramatics from me but it does suck to see the value in GPU diminish.
I have been a subscriber since the beginning of GP, I’ve always found value in it even during the early years when it was a lot of smaller indie games for the most part. It didn’t cost much and it was introducing me to new games I wouldn’t have tried otherwise. Now they are jacking the price too high and adding a bunch of old Ubisoft games that sell for $5 on sales to justify it? And Fortnite sub of some kind? Yea back down to the lowest tier for me so I can online game what a joke.
Oh that’s exciting. I like that it says projects. With an s. Maybe get to see this remaster and hear something about the new future game as well. I don’t expect to see much from it considering they would probably save that for a big show I’m sure but some news would be welcome.
@Ricky-Spanish I could see motorcycles and really how cool would it be to have an Akira themed bike in this game. Be a good opportunity to introduce motorcycles.
I’m not a huge hand held gamer so this never appealed to me. But, I am very interested in how this could shape the next Xbox home consoles with them being more hybrid PC models.
What exactly is he proud of again? Wasting resources? It’s like starting a painting that took too long, never finished and has a ton of mistakes and being “well I’m proud of…. This.” And then throw it in storage unit to never be seen or heard of again. Makes no sense.
@Fiendish-Beaver oh yea, I loved it. Very Ghost in The Shell, Doom, Metroid inspired great gameplay and setting. I finished it and did some achievement hunting before hoping onto Borderlands 4. I highly recommend Metal Eden if you are a fan of shooters, I really hope that game does well.
Metal Eden Deadzone Rogue Borderlands 4 Dying Light The Beast
I was leaning towards grabbing Cronos and Silent Hill f this month but opted out cause I have my hands full and next month is stacked as well. Can’t get em all I suppose. -_-
The Outer Worlds 2 is one of my most anticipated games of the year can’t wait! But also, Ninja Gaiden 4, Keeper and Bounty Star, very very solid month.

Re: Opinion: ARC Raiders Is One Of The Most Visually Impressive Multiplayer Games I've Ever Played
@Kezelpaso which is kind of crazy to say if you have followed the changes the game has gone through from a looter shooter to an extraction shooter.

@BAMozzy I don’t think it will matter in the near future as Xbox hardware moves more into the PC realm.

The Outer Worlds 2 hands down. It’s my game of the year for sure, absolutely love the game

Re: Fallout 76 Is Officially Getting A Native Xbox Series X|S Version In Early 2026
@Fiendish-Beaver I meant more just for the developer side of Bethesda. Todd can oversee two teams I think for the main line games.
Re: Fallout 76 Is Officially Getting A Native Xbox Series X|S Version In Early 2026
@Fiendish-Beaver wish they would create a second studio within Bethesda just to help push out more games.
