Downloaded and played the Training mission. Quite a lot going on but seems oddly simple in a good way. Like SIege, And Apex combined and on a Horse. I'll definately hop on and see if online is for me. Gunplay feels solid.
Great read. I have the white one and love it. I finished Avowed while flying to Fiji. Can't recomment the device enough. I am intereted in upgrading one day I think. It feels great too.
@Darylb88 Oh yes. I fully expect it in September. Just hoping I was wrong lol. I too think it's at the Summer Showcase with an online beta shortly after full reveal.
Alrighty. Forza in May. Please let Gears or April be March or April. That wold rock. Rould love to roll from Resident Evil Requiem to Gears or Fable and then Forza.
@RaZieLDaNtE Oh Yes. I could upload music into NFL 2k5 stadiums also. I used modded rosters up into 2012 on my OG XBOX before I finally submitted and started playing on my 360 for Madden 2013. Once the 360 came out I played Halo and NFL 2k on it still. Everythign else on the 360. I would play Enter The Matrix once a year on it lol (OG XBOX)
Been on Xbox since December of 2001. I was 19. It was a big deal to have the money for a purchase like this at the time for me. I was so impressed with Halo and played NFL k5 like it was going out of style on it for years.
First memory below but though I would share all my memories.
OG XBOX
I remeber going to Toys R Us to get it on a Saturday night. I walked out with Halo And Max Payne. Forever changed. I spent hours putting my entire CD collection on that thang, dodging bullets, and finnally had a game to let me put Goldeneye down.
Xbox 360 was special for me becasue I could not find one. I went to Target Every Sunday (my only day off at the time) for 5 weeks and finally got one on the Fifth Sunday.
Xbox One I did not get one at Launch. I wnated it bad but My girlfriend (now wife) and I were saving to buy a house house. We moved into the house in July 2014. We had about $800ish left over after furniture etc and day after move in she said let's go get you that Xbox you have been wanting.
Xbox Series. Covid times. Got one for my Son and I (series X for me and S for him) - Just everythign avout this launch was wild.
Power ranking is tough as this brand means so much to me. I have such specail memories of they way I aquired them all.
Xbox One
360
Xbox
Xbox Series
In that order. I celebrate the entire catalog.
Heck Yes. Forza honestly will probably always be the top selling title for them they bring over. Interested to see if Halo has legs when it goes to PS5.
I've used this for years to pay for Gamepass. Now I just redeem $10 in Microsoft money every $9500 points. Sad I can not use it for Gamepass anymore but staying $10 a month should help a bit. It's my undeestanding they cap you out at $100 for the year so I guess I will go the Amazon Giftcard at that point.
Oh yeah. If under $200 it’s a slam dunk if you have never been on Xbox. Worth it for Halo MCC, Forza, Killer Instinct, Fable Series, Quantum Break, and all the Gears alone. Hours of Insanely awesome games.
Mostly watching NFL playoffs this weekend but trying to finish Keeper and playing Wolfenstein 2 and Doom 2016. Incredible games from awesome studios. The puzzles and cozy atmosphere in keeper are quite the vibe.
@JumpingJackson Nice!! I was a Dreamcast Guy before the Xbox.
NES - SNES - Sega - Game Boy - Sega Saturn - N64 - Dreamcast - Xbox - Xbox 360 - Wii (GameCube combatable)- Xbox One - Wii U - PS4 - Switch - Xbox Series X - PS5 - Switch 2 are all the consoles I own
Happy to see more people get to play Avowed. I loved it. I'll do a second playthrough with New Game Plus. Tried the beta or whatever of Towerborne last night. Me likey.
@Fiendish-Beaver I would think the give E-Day the Summer showcase and it's own Presentation like Starfield. Thinking Gears is a September Release. Fable I'm torn. It's either Done and getting released in May or it's December. I think Forza in March(late). Halo November.
Finished Metroid Prime 4 last week so kind of lost lol. I’m really looking forward to Dispatch on Switch 2 and Resident Evil Requiem on Xbox Series.
I’m just cleaning up backlog I guess. Playing Tomb Raider DE, Yakuza 0 DC, Dusk, Doom 2016(I just love this game), RE 4, with some Destiny and Halo sprinkled in.
Happy New Year! We are more than likley having a Showcase this month. Can't wait to lean more on Fable and Gears. I hope both get a controller also lol.

Re: Xbox Game Pass Players Are Getting A Fantastic Survival Horror Experience Next Week
