@Kezelpaso It's so good to see some love for Thief. It really is a great game. I have many a fond memory of looting shiny objects. The creaking of the floorboards, the subtle snoring of an inhabitant to the property I was about to raid.
@Richnj yeah that's what it boils down to doesn't it. No one has anything good to say so they latch on to the latest subject that will get them social clout.
@Barry_Biscuits seems like all the woke, hipster, do-gooder, public activists who think that if anyone dares to mention anything about trans, gay, lesbian or anything else is a bigot, have already crawled out of their basements.
What if people don't want their favourite characters from a game changing for other reasons? There are conclusions other than being racist, homophobic or transphobic.
@Rafie To be honest I'm not really up on the business ins and outs of it but I understand what you're saying. It's just so infuriating that Xbox is being scrutinised like this.
It just seems that anything Xbox does will be met with stupidity like this. If the tables were turned and Sony wanted this it would have been completed months ago.
It's a shame to see some of these go. If there's anyone in the UK looking at this and you haven't already smashed Hades you can currently get it in ASDA for £3. Hopefully it's not just a regional offer.
@Chuffer I really hope this isn't the case but I reckon you're more than likely right. I don't understand why games like Borderlands do such lazy DLC when they can put up such massive base games.
I definitely wouldn't lose any sleep over a 1/5 rating from NME. Unless Stranger Of Paradise is some kind of weird electro black metal dubstepcore k-pop album.
Hell yes! It is one of my favourite ever series of games, probably because of its middle finger up to the world style. I just wonder that in these current times and the fact that people are almost hoping for something to complain and protest about, is that going ruin the games we love.
Thus story has warmed my heart and inspired me no end. Thank you for sharing this. I have been suffering with mental health since I was a child and reading this has given me the push to carry on with things.
I wish you the best of health and the best of luck 🙂
@VenomousAlbino Ahh fair enough, I didn't realise it was a crossover. I can live with playing this on Switch then hehe. Persona 5 Royale would be amazing.
What an awesome list! It's really cool to see Yakuza: LaD on the top four. I still haven't played either of the Ori games so I guess I'll add them to th backlog hehe.
@everynowandben I felt the same way about Code Vein but luckily you have a companion who fights alongside you. It takes the sting away a little bit hehe.
I started off playing Watch Dogs Legion but the progress saving bug got me a couple of times so I've switched to Yakuza Like a Dragon. What an amazing game! Also Forza Horizon 4, which looks like a brand new game on the XSX

@gollumb82 I know a lot of peope didn't like it; but NFS Payback isn't bad at all. NFS Hot Pursuit remake is an absolute monster too.

Re: Ubisoft's Splinter Cell Remake Will 'Update The Story' For Modern Audiences
@Phantasystar77 Beat me to it. This is the only thing it could mean. Why can't games just be left alone.

If the tables were turned PlayStation wouldn't even offer that long.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Is Finally Giving Up On Xbox One And PS4
@SmoothlyRough I've gotta agree with you here. It almost feels like the Next Gen hasn't truly started yet.

Re: Ex-GTA Producer Returns With EVERYWHERE, A New 'Multi-World Gaming Experience'
@Would_you_kindly It really does. I thought it was going to be some kind of collaboration.
Re: Dying Light 2 Story Expansion Introduces 'The Carnage Hall' On Xbox
This sounds pretty good! I thought at first it was going to be some kind of horde mode add on. Looking forward to it.
Re: FIFA President Throws Shade At EA In Damning Press Release
I really don't think the FIFA name can be held in much regard any more. Corruption at its best.

Wish there was an option for GOTG and Lawnmower Simulator. What an awesome month for Game Pass
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Are Saying About Stranger Of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin
I definitely wouldn't lose any sleep over a 1/5 rating from NME. Unless Stranger Of Paradise is some kind of weird electro black metal dubstepcore k-pop album.

I can't hear yoooou
Re: Skyrim Anniversary Edition Launches This November For Xbox One, Series X, Series S
I must admit, as much as I agree with @UltimateOtaku91 the updated graphics and the inclusion of the Creation Club stuff has me a little excited.
Re: Xbox Game Pass's Boyfriend Dungeon Is Proving To Be Controversial For Some Players
Hell yes! It is one of my favourite ever series of games, probably because of its middle finger up to the world style. I just wonder that in these current times and the fact that people are almost hoping for something to complain and protest about, is that going ruin the games we love.
Re: Xbox Game Pass's Boyfriend Dungeon Is Proving To Be Controversial For Some Players
This world is getting worse. Can you imagine the reaction to a new GTA?
Re: GTA Remastered Trilogy Reportedly Heading To Xbox This Fall
@ralphdibny I wish there was a way we could all collectively shout GOURANGA.

@VenomousAlbino Ahh fair enough, I didn't realise it was a crossover. I can live with playing this on Switch then hehe. Persona 5 Royale would be amazing.
Re: Atlus Wants To Know What Games It Should Port To The Xbox Series X
Persona 4 and 5! Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE could be pretty awesome too.

Going to start second play through of Yakuza: LaD and intersperse Fenyx and a bit of Cold War!
Re: Feature: Pure Xbox's Game Of The Year 2020
What an awesome list! It's really cool to see Yakuza: LaD on the top four. I still haven't played either of the Ori games so I guess I'll add them to th backlog hehe.
Re: Nine More Games Are Now Available With Xbox Game Pass (Dec 17)
@everynowandben I felt the same way about Code Vein but luckily you have a companion who fights alongside you. It takes the sting away a little bit hehe.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (Nov 21st)
@NEStalgia Hell yes, absolutely loving this! Good to see the love for it!
