I've been working a lot recently, haven't been able to keep up with all the news that pop up, so this kind of headline makes me freeze inside until I read the full text. Just the thought of seeing Fable be turned into an MMO drives me crazy. But that's it. Just some more fake news

@FraserG I'm really considering some Lego games this week, too, but I'd like to have some info on some titles, City Undercover being one of them

Resident Evil 2 Remake. Admiring every part of it!

The only system I had last generation was a 3DS and I think I bought 95% of games physical, maybe more. This gen I have an Xbox One and a Switch and things are very different now. I have only one physical Xbox One game, Witcher 3. Maybe it's less than my 5% Xbox total. With Switch, I started with some physical games, but then focused on digital, almost exclusively.

Digital games are easier to deal with. You don't even have to have them all downloaded at the same time. You can download a game only when you wanna play it. It's way easier for me.
The big positive point that physical games had in the past has been lost: a nice box with a beautiful instruction manual. Manuals haven't been around for quite some time and, more and more, games have been released incomplete, full of bugs, and devs fix them little by little through downloadable patches, including day one patches, which makes boxed games almost useless, since they can't offer you a complete and full experience in the state they are released. That's just my opinion but, for me, it justifies my focus on digital games

I'm playing Resident Evil 2 remake. What a game, ladies and gentlemen!!!

Well, since we depend on dollar/pound/euro exchange rates to have games priced in our market in Brazil (especially dollar) and considering the three exchange rates have skyrocketed this year, I don't think I'll be buying many games on launch day. And more importantly: I have no idea when I'll afford a new console.
Fortunately there are a lot of current gen games I still haven't played, so that will be the way to go for me for some time and there's no problem with it

@MAC26 I've never played the remastered version . I'm gonna get it based on friends' recommendations and reviews

Gonna get the Silent Hill Collection and Castlevania Mirror of Fate from this list.

And there are other deals (Xbox One) that I wanna get too, especially Alien Isolation and Ghostbusters

@MAC26 Take a look at the thread Strange Bit recommended and be sure to use Firefox and the script indicated there. Worked fine for me but only on Firefox

Blazing Chrome and Timespinner are great games. BC is hard but if you enjoy the style, you'll have a lot of fun.

And since I'm crazy about a good Metroidvania, Timespinner is easy to recommend

Both Ori Games have amazing soundtracks and are amazing games!
No doubt the soundtrack is an essential element to reach such perfection.

I got Fable when it was offered as a game with gold but now it interestingly appears only as a game pass game in my library, separate from other games with gold titles. Basically let's say I don't own it. If I look for Fable on the Xbox app, it doesn't show it's been purchased by me like other titles (including 360 gwg titles). Has anyone been having this kind of problem with gwg?

@BANJO well, I really liked Steamworld Dig 2. It's better than the first one, which I liked, too. Maps are nice, upgrades are great and at least for me the game makes you want to keep digging more and more to find places, water, equipment, money... A great one

All right, I'm in!

The number four in the title is an interesting thing: maybe it's an indicator that everything fans have loved and cherished in the original trilogy will be present or at least held as a base for the new game. I love the 3 original games. Let's wait and see what the new one gives us

Well, I'll have to be pretty straightforward here: if you're into Metroidvanias and/or 2d platformers, just play this game. It's a labor of love. Level design, music, writing, graphics (both 8 and 16 bit), abilities, weapons, everything is well done and there's a charm in the air.
I dedicated around 20 hours to get 100% and I'll do it again soon. If you're not a completionist, you can finish it in half of that time or a little more, but it's not the game that will make you want to finish fast.
Well, it's easy to notice I'm in love with the Messenger and there are a bunch of reasons to justify that. One of the best games released last decade. One of the best ninja games ever. One of the best Metroidvanias ever.
All right, all right. I'll shut up. But buy it

Thanks for the tip, man. Worked fine for me

I can't help you with Sine Mora because I already have it, so the message is that I own the game. But it's something I've had a trouble with since I started subscribing Ultimate

@Chimera_Police Good to know it's well written and has a lot of content. This deal is gonna end soon but I'm gonna get it. Thanks, man

@carlos82 I'm thinking about Odyssey complete edition. AC 3 remastered comes with it. Seems to be an excellent deal

Sony showed a little of what Microsoft should have shown: some gameplay. Now it's up to MS to give us a decent event and show some actual gameplay and reveal a launch lineup because we don't know much about it so far

One thing that bothers me is that a stream can't reproduce the gaming quality we'll see on our TVs, so how big the jump from current to next gen will be is still a big question mark to me. Maybe (and just maybe) we got to a point in which we'll see improvements, but I don't think MS or Sony will introduce anything jaw dropping in comparison to what current machines are able to deliver. Just my ten cents and I'd love to be totally wrong

Xbox One. Although I had a 360, I couldn't enjoy it at the time. Now I've been playing a lot my One, exploring tons of games, enjoying Game Pass and, of course, playing a big number of retro games. It's a perfect package for me

I have to finish Resident Evil 4, which I still consider a superb game after every playthrough.

Then I'm thinking of starting Dishonored 2

@BANJO That's a superb collection for that price. I have it for the Switch but I'll get it because it's almost for free

@belmont I had the same problem until last month. Then I learned about a script that solved this problem and it worked for me. I'll just tell you that it only worked for me on Firefox with Violent Monkey running the script. It didn't work on Chrome.
The script says it was made to help people redeeming free games but it also helped me buy other games and I recommend it

@ThanosReXXX I agree, man. It doesn't make any sense

@TrueAssassin86x It was released for Switch last year, but I have no idea if they're going to remove it from GP

Thanks for sharing this!
Really good to know there's something for free.
Unfortunately Harms Way and Hexic are not available in my country. Neither for free nor for sale

I'm not an FPS geek. I have no problem playing games that run below 60 fps, but I thought that this would be a difference between current gen and the next. I thought devs would improve fps rates (increase and make them stable), but the news we heard this week showed me I was wrong. One thing I consider mandatory for the next gen is stability: I don't see the point of releasing games that have a big frame variation on such powerful machines, but I know it will probably happen based on Microsoft's latest reveals

I took a look at the Brazilian store to check the price and let's say it's pretty expensive. No deal here

I guess this week I'll only get Burnout Paradise Remastered. I'd like to get Forza 4 but since I have it on Game Pass and the discount is not that big, I'll keep playing it on GP

There's a lot of power available but maybe devs will take some more time to make full use of it (without dedicating 2x the time they dedicate to master things).

For me, if it's 30 fps there's no problem as long as the rate is stable

About AC, guys, which one to pick: Odyssey or Origins?

Aside from one AC game, I'll get Little Nightmares

I don't think I'll be able to afford the new console on launch day, but anyway it would be better for everyone if games are released when they're ready, not rushed. Even if there's not a huge lineup, but there are some solid titles to make things start to heat up, backwards compatibility working fine and Game Pass on, it's gonna be all right.
What some people said in comments is true: many people will have to upgrade their TVs if they want to to fully enjoy the next generation. I'm against the grain here. I already have a 4K TV. Just don't think I'll be able to get the console LOL and facepalm

Not available in Brazilian store either

@UnconfirmedBit I checked and the script was running ok on Chrome but it didn't work any way. Then I decided to install Firefox just to try. I used Violent Monkey with Firefox and - great news! - it worked and I could buy Metal Gear 2 and 3!!! Thanks, man. I really appreciate your help!!!

@UnconfirmedBit Thanks for the reply, man. If you could buy a game paying for it using the script, then I'm probably doing something wrong. I'll take a look at another launcher and maybe another navigator. Ill keep in touch if I find something

@UnconfirmedBit Thanks a lot, man. I was so happy when I read your reply, but unfortunately it seems that the script only solves the problem with the monthly free games, not with paid ones. I spent almost one hour trying, tried Tamper Monkey, then Violent Monkey, even tried to adjust the correct price with the dot, but it didn't work. And I'm in Brazil. We use the comma here indeed. Do you know anything else I could try?

I bought Symphony of the Night for full price about a month ago.
But no problem. It's so good it's worth every cent of its 200.6%!!!

I'm trying to buy the Metal Gear Collection now but I'm facing that bug in which the payment confirmation never appears. I've had happen to me many times in 360 marketplace recently, unfortunately.

And I'm thinkng of getting some RE games: 4, the first one and maybe 0

Nice to know that!

Nice price tag for a game that looks polished and well taken care of. I'm into survival games so that's one I'm gonna get

What a service, guys! What a service!!!!

Well, while I haven't had this problem so far, I'm having other two that are quite annoying: I keep losing Live connection and some games have stopped working offline, which makes me have to connect every time I wanna play. That's a pain because in some moments, Live won't connect and you have to try again some times before it does

@KratosMD IMO, the Dragon's Trap is worth full price for what it is. It's not the longest game as it's a remake of a 30 yeard old game, but if you're into retro gaming, you'll enjoy it a lot. £8 is a great price for it

@Bobarino That's what I think. After all changes, the current UI is great and now I feel comfortable using it.

Xbox:

• Castlevania Symphony of the Night (trying to 200.6% it)
• Rise of the Tomb Raider
• Untitled Goose Game
• A boy and his Blob
• Panzer Dragoon Orta

Switch:

• Spyro Reignited Trilogy

Maybe it's time to get Resident Evil 2 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. And I'll just have to take a good careful look at the full list. There are so many games

@FraserG Nice to hear you saying it. John Deacon is the man! Queen is just one of the best bands ever. Huge fan here too

Fable is such a great inclusion! Really nice to hear it.
I've never played PC 2. Maybe this is the time to try it

Make sure to include Panzer Dragoon Orta, @FraserG. Please don't tell me it's out of Game Pass now. I started playing it just yesterday...LOL
