Still playing it several nights a week, it's an all timer coop game.

I really wish Arrowhead would make Magicka back compat or do a remaster or something. I played it on PC and it was hilarious, so much of the DNA carried over to Helldivers coop.

Got it on disc, not rebuying.

Oliver at Digital Foundry saw it at Valve early (reminds me of Rich and John seeing the Series consoles at MS)

2 minutes in and I'm already yelling at Nintendo. Valve made this because people are using the Steamdeck connected to TVs. I never undocked my Switch. WHERE IS MY NON HANDHELD SWITCH, NINTENDO?

I still have my Steamlink - released 10 years and 2 days ago.

I will almost certainly get either this or the next Xbox. Need to see specs and prices.

Where are my 360 OGs for Sacred 2 Remaster 🤘

Obsidian doesn't really make great games without Chris Avellone which is a shame. Pentiment has been their best but even that only felt "good" after playing Pillars of the Earth. I hope the 2 sides mend fences at some point.

If you think Obsidians recent games have good writing, that's fine, a lot of people like Marvel movies too, we're just not going to agree.

Got tennis elbow again so it's limiting what I can play. Lots of deep Rock Galactic survivor with its near zero button pressing.

@Shy_Hallaman I thought Andromeda was awful, but I did finish it... Which one of us like it more? 😂

I have zero faith in this company to make a decent game nevermind anything that lives up to Mass Effect, Bioware died when the doctors sold it.

@swedetrap GTA VI will be the biggest game ever

I loved Infinites multiplayer at launch. I think it's the best playing Halo game, and that is saying a LOT. It's post launch support was total ass.

They hinted at the game having something to rival Spartan Ops for 10 years post launch. Instead we got nothing. Sad really.

Incredible graphics for 360

Story was terrible, Cortana looked weird, multiplayer was barely Halo. 3/10 and only that high because of the graphics.

Wow that poll result, Fable after FH6? Rumored in development since 2017 and announced by Playground in 2020, initial release date set for 2025... and were thinking Playground is going to crank out FH6 first?

Seems insane, we'll see. Have there been stories it's in dev hell? I haven't paid much attention to it to be honest.

Too bad about pac man, I liked the demo.

Valheim

If you can rent a server it's a harder sell for me, but I've done that too for games I really wanted to play like Astroneer.

no crossplay, no hosting my own dedicated server, pass for me

There's a Sacred 2 Remaster?! 👀

That game is like a wonderful fever dream, everything from the gameplay to the story to the Blind Guardian concert. I need to buy it and replay it.

I also want to get into Monster Hunter Stories.

This might turn into a decent month for me.

Nothing here is going to break into my backlog. I played and liked the first Moonlighter but that was a different time when I had much more time to play games.

BG2 was my favorite CRPG for over 20 years, but was finally surpassed. HOMM3 will probably never be surpassed, so it's got my vote.

Gonna be the same for a bit.

Pacific Drive & Helldivers 2 with some Deep Rock Galactic Survivor

and you can argue that Take-Two and Rockstar have earnt that place of privilege over the years.

is there someone out there who has argued otherwise? That would be a really... Interesting take.

If 3 gets Blur Studios cinematics, I'm all in.

If it doesn't, **** this cash grab

I just need to see Blur animate the shipmaster being told he's outnumbered 3:1 and then I can die.

Console streaming wasn't working for my wife, this is probably why.

, but from our perspective, the console hinges on how well Microsoft can bring Windows and Xbox together.

I think the entire thing sinks or swims based on price, like every console before it. $200 killed the ps3 and $100 killed the Xbox one.

Really happy to see the comments here. He's on the Mount Rushmore of video game devs, the online vitriol he gets is disgusting and unwarranted.

@TrevorP86 this is Jez

This isn't a rumor, it's Microsoft PR.

It's going in the backlog. Pacific Drive for me right now.

Xbox died 2 years ago.

This is just like seeing all the Sega exclusives on Xbox.

The only difference is MS stringing certain gullible fans along. We're making another console, IM SUPER SERIAL YOU GUYS!

Reminder that this is the company that thought people bought consoles to watch cable tv, they know what's up

Meh

They already made mcc, just put mcc on Playstation. This is an extra money grab. I think they don't want to split more multiplayer halo away from infinite or whatever the next game will be. I think they want every Halo player playing a f2p cash shop game.

The only possible good that could come of this is if they do 1 at a time and when they get to Halo 3, it gets the full remake treatment including cutscenes. But I'm not holding my breath.

Pacific Drive
Deep Rock Galactic Survivor
Helldivers 2 with the boys

Reminder that it was Amy Hood and Satya Nadella, not Phil, who wanted ABK. They wanted to move their gaming division towards mobile, a sector they see as having huge growth. This was laid out in the FTC trial.

Been waiting for Pacific Drive since Skillup's excellent review. A must play for me

Who's decision was it for King employees to train AI that would replace.them when they were laid off?

This game was Darktide but much worse in every aspect. Its failure wasn't due to marketing, it's not a good game.

Imagine thinking directX box wasn't referring to a console. They rebranded MGS to XGS in an effort to hide the fact that Xbox is dying. It looks like someone here really lapped that s*** up, lmao.

Also, even using their asinine definitions, Xbox is not all of Microsoft gaming. Sarah Bond is the president of Xbox. Her boss, Phil Spencer, is the CEO of Microsoft Gaming.

Hopefully Itagaki is smiling wherever he is.

These guys rule. Only recently did I discover they also made Magicka, another all time great co-op game. Based on these 2 games I'm pretty sure we'll see more dpad inputs under pressure and lots of friendly fire mayhem and I'm gonna be there day 1.

Long shot but I really hope they bring Magicka back on Xbox, I bought it back then on PC.

Loved what I played of Metal Slug Tactics

Helldivers 2 with the crew

Deeprock Galactic Survivor, my 5 year old LOVES this game. She has gone from barely being able to use the analog sticks in stuff like the Bluey game and fall guys to a total pro. Parents of young ones, don't sleep on this.

I only play games at home, so buying this would be flushing (a lot of) money down the toilet.

@theduckofdeath they do if laptops sell

No one could sell Xboxes 2 years ago for $350 bundled with Diablo 4. It's cooked at $650 years later.

@Fiendish-Beaver it's interesting to think about, Asus must be livid.

Shooters over perform on Xbox. Many genres, like JPRGs, underperform. Always been the case even at Xbox's height and nothing has changed.

This was a console for dudebros from the start, and Phil Spencer's Xbox largely abandoned them when rebuilding after Mattrick mortgaged their software side. The games, the marketing, everything.

@Krzzystuff he really is

Rumor or not, statement or not, there's zero chance retailers continue to stock a $650 console that doesn't sell for much longer, if they even still are. Take that to the bank.
