I am looking forward to a return to form so to speak. Gears 4 and 5 are good but not great imo. 1-3 are masterpiece territory for me. I'm looking forward to seeing this as the Developers Direct next month.
Guess I will finally try out System Shock. I think I'll pull the trigger on Fallout Anniversary also. Show had got me wanting to spend time in that world. Happy Christmas.
I've been on Xbox Live since 360. Gamepass since 2018. I just completely canceled. If E-Day and Halo are elculsives (IF) I will purchase and just get core maybe.
@16BitHero Big time. over 300 total wrestlers. The Community Crreations as everyhting you could want. Old Arena, Wrestlers not in the game, signs, etc.
@Medic_alert Quite the wild love story for this game for me. First 4 hours I was really liking it. Once Marius joined my party I really started to wonder if I would finish this game. Hours 4-8 were a rough time. Once I kicked him to the curb for Giatta I really started to get into the story big time. I also ran into a side quest around hour 10 that just clicked. Beautiful game. Can't wait to play more.
@Romans12 But Why? MCC is not selling a console or bringing new users to the Franchise? it will get more interested in the Franchise if playable elsewhere.
So much doom and gloom. I love Halo. I want more Halo. If porting to other places makes that happen so be it.
What is the diffenrce of it going to Switch and PS5? It's on PC. God Of War is on PC?
Halo not being only XBOX does not justify owning a console? I don't get it. I have been with Xbox since day 1. I'm not outraged or upset. I understand the loudest voices are "heard" and far more compalin than priase but man on man is the Doom exausting.

Re: Poll: Xbox Fans, What Review Score Would You Give Avowed So Far?
Very Good. 7.5. 16ish hours in. I could see it going to an 8 or falling to a 7 dependeing on completion. I dig it. Magic Wands are cool.

Re: Talking Point: What Is Xbox Going To Do With Halo In 2025?
@anoyonmus Not at all. MCC is amazing and my thoughts are it will be a very big shot in the arm for the Franchise if True.
Re: 10+ Major Games That Xbox Could Be Preparing To Release This Year

Re: Review: Indiana Jones And The Great Circle (Xbox) - A MachineGames Misfire
4 hours in. I am absolutley in love. I am a huge Indy Fan. If you played Riddick Buthcer Bay back in the day this will be your jam.
It's 10000% about searching areas and stealth. I can see that will not be everones jame.
As an Indy fan a 10.
Taking off by Indy stan Glasses this is an 8.5. Really Good.

Re: Four Games Announced For Xbox Game Pass At October's Partner Preview Showcase
2025 Gamepass will be quite nice.
I am super pumed for the Oct-Dec stuff coming out.
2025 - this list with Doom and Fable. Sign me up. I wonder is the Gears 2025 rumors are true?
Re: Poll: How Would You Grade Today's Xbox Partner Preview Event?
B for me
I wish they had a one more thing....but I get it.
Re: Roundup: All The Reveals From October 2024's Xbox Partner Preview Showcase
Quite the diverse group of games. Alan Wake DLC and Cronos are about all that grabbed me (and that is ok)
I'll try the other Remedy game on Gamepass as I celebrate their entire catolog.
The Mouse Shooting game looks like a sleeper hit.
Re: 'Cronos: The New Dawn' Is An Xbox Horror Game From The Team Behind Silent Hill 2
This sort of game is totally my bag.
