I'm waiting for the performance patch because the PC version is miserable.

I'll wait and see if they fix it up. If they do, I'll get it on a discount.

I'm going to let people play it and review it over the day to see if I want to buy it. I find it compelling, but I'm just being cautious.

I thought it was a solid showcase season, but that Xbox blew every other show away. So, yeah, I give them a high grade—an A for me.

I am very compelled by this game. Looks beautiful and fun.

I would give it an A. Easily the best show of the showcase season. I wanted to see Everwild and Fable, but those will come in time.

This looks delightful.

I want to see Fable and Everwild.

I've set some money aside in case Mindseye turns out to be a decent game. Doesn't have to be amazing, just a fun 15-hour ride.

I've embraced it. I went to Walmart at the crack of 8:00 AM to get one, along with a MicroSD Express card. Expensive, but I appreciate the improvements made in this sequel. I LOVE sequels!

I waited all this time for Crash 4! Looking forward to playing it this month!

I think Bond looks good, and I can't wait to play this!

I've said it before, but Mindseye reminds me of Michael Mann's Miami Vice from 2006, only with more futuristic tech. I don't expect the game to score well, but if it works fine and if it plays well, I am going to get it.

I hope 007 is a full game from the start and not episodic. Either way, I'm in.

I look forward to getting another look at Mindseye. I know it screams 60 Metacritic, but if it's just a decent third-person shooter, I'll be happy.

Since it's a tech demo/target render, I'll say that I like what they're aiming for! I hope they can make it happen at or close to this fidelity.

I want a true Xbox handheld with a bespoke Xbox OS to play primarily backwards compatible games on. This is somewhat disappointing.

I don't imagine the Metacritic will be great for this one, but I find it compelling somehow. We'll see.

We are in a Capcom Golden Age!

My philosophy is that options are good. If you don't want to play a game on a lesser difficulty, choose a harder one.

Lots of gatekeeping is going on in gaming.

I love it. I have enough controllers, though!

I've been playing Oblivion Remastered on PC, and I've had a terrible time getting performance in order. I have a mid-range system, and even on a mix of medium and low settings at 1080p with FSR framegen, I'm getting just dreadful performance. That's to say nothing of the UE5 stutter. I hope they make improvements because I otherwise like what they've done with it.

I hope to see more of Fable and get more information on it. I understand there will probably be a Developer Direct segment for it in January, but I'd like to hear more sooner.

It would have been nice to see Otogi 2 on there, as I want to buy it.

I was slightly concerned with the move from Vicarious Visions to Iron Galaxy, but these previews suggest they've kept up the quality!

It's nice to see TMNT: Mutants Unleashed available on Game Pass, as I was interested in buying it on sale but decided to wait for a deeper discount. I still want a physical copy eventually, but I'll give it a go on Game Pass!

I've been watching this one for years. It seems they've really put the time and effort in.

I'd better play it while I have the chance, then. It's in my library.

Ubisoft continues to enhance games and add achievements on Steam. I appreciate these efforts a lot.

Sanguine, my brother.

It is clear to me that there is no standard, as in agreed-upon, definition of remaster. I've decided it's not even worth debating, and I'll just leave it to marketing teams to label as they will!

I'm so glad they're doing a special presentation for The Outer Worlds 2.

And I hope we get some big surprises from the showcase!

I'm sorry to be a broken record on this but I'm very concerned about the extent of the overhaul. It's no "remake" if it is simply UE5 layered over the old game with a few gameplay tweaks. I say this only because my excitement level hinges on the evenness of the experience.

I hope they gave the game the attention it deserves because it is something special in that Bethesda kind of way.

I'm looking forward to playing it when it launches for everyone on Game Pass. Not a game I need to play early, but certainly one I am going to play because I like what I'm seeing a lot!

I don't know how influential Skyrim has been since no one really does what Bethesda does. If the game has been influential, it has been so in ways that are less obvious.

I'm still not certain what the heck it is? A true remake is not EU5 bolted onto the old game. If that's what it is, I have to wonder how it is going to go over. The animations need a complete overhaul, for example. Please, don't tell me those animations are staying. They were bad when the game released.

I made my zoi and I'm currently building a simple house. Not sure what to think yet, of course, but I look forward to playing more today.

@Kaloudz Wow! And I just bought the original Forza for my OG Xbox. I want to remember where it all began!

I picked up Shadows, Xenoblade Chronicles X and LoZ: Echoes of Wisdom! I'm not sure what to play first. A good problem to have!

@jesse_dylan Ohh okay! Then that's awesome!

I would have posted an illustration of a cheese wheel with a candle in it.

@VoidPunk Thank you for giving Grabbed By The Ghoulies its flowers. Great game.

Awesome! Nice to see good impressions and reviews. I figured it would land about where it has and am buying now!

Yeah, I'm thinking this is going to be very good. I'm gonna guess an 83 Metacritic.

The only way this will work is if they've redone the animations, which are quite bad - especially by today's standards. I think the combat could also use an update. I really hope that they've done more than just layer Unreal 5 graphics over it.

I won't buy it unless it features a bespoke console experience (no Windows interface/bloat) and features backwards compatibility with OG Xbox and 360 games.

There's a YouTuber called The Hidden One who made an excellent video debunking a lot of the controversy around this game. Worth a watch as it's pretty devastating.

As for the game itself, I think it looks good. I expect it to score in the low 80s on Metacritic. I will probably play it through Ubisoft+ as my big game purchase this month is going to be Xenoblade Chronicles X.

I enjoyed Starfield a lot and I look forward to seeing what's next for it. Even if the Shattered Space DLC wasn't great.

Starfield is a very good game but I can't agree with this level of praise haha. I think the main campaign and story quests are good in terms of narrative but I can think of better.

It's the end of an era. I went to Skype some time after MSN Messenger went away. I will just continue on with Discord from here on out.

That's just fine. Make this game the best it can be! There is lots coming from Xbox and third parties this year to keep me busy!
