I've been replaying (again) XCOM 2 which is way too addictive for my own good. Since the new Castlevania left a bad taste in my mouth I've also been playing some old Castlevania games.
Oh, this'll be cool to watch. Hope there's not much talking and it's just games. I hate it when they put people trying to be cool like anyone would be interested in that.
I don't think I've played many games from this year, it was mostly backlog. Motorslice I guess? Would be The Outer Worlds 2 but that was last year. Played Requiem but that's not even in my top RE games.
Where's the "Yeah, I loved Watchdogs Legion" option?
Feels like every option assumes I didn't like the game. Legion was amazing. Really cool gameplay and stealth, really good customization and one of the best sci-fi questlines centered about AI.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't care about most of the stuff that's popular there.
I would even prefer a "find a way for games to stop skipping XBOX" instead of exclusives.
Exclusives don't affect ME in particular. I enjoy the same if a Playstation guy can play or not a game.
But games skipping XBOX affect me almost every day.
Still playing New World Aeternum. The Castlevania demo also made me want to play a real Castlevania so I'll probably start Bloodstained. Infernax is another awesone choice.
Finally finished Last Scenario which was a cool game, and finished 7th Dragon III too. Now I'm playing New World Aeternum on XBOX. Not a big fan of MMOs but it can be played solo and since they're closing it next year...
The Lufia announcement saying "coming to modern platforms" on Twitter and YouTube and then skipping XBOX really sucks. Looks like pretty basic ports, but still.
Finally finished Last Scenario, a cool little RPG created in RPG Maker. It was popular back in the day (it's from 2007). One of those games I had never finished for like more than 10 years since I tried it. Really cool story, characters and themes. Combat is alright although boss battles are pretty cool and 90% of them are really hard. I'd say its weak points are the art style and the combat.outside of boss battles. Still, it was a nice experience. I'm not sure what I'll play next.
I need nothing more, really.
If I can still play games from OG/360/One era AND PC games, I don't need anything else. It would be the superior "console" on the market in terms of catalogue which is what I care about.
Persona 6 doesn't even have a release date and it's coming to Game Pass. Fair to assume it also isn't gonna release close to Persona 4 Revival. So can't be early 2027.
Here's hoping XBOX doesn't lose much money with this. If it's an XBOX console exclusive it's gonna sell like sh#t and if not, Playstation doesn't really lose anything.
Yeah, I think it's too soon, and they do make us wait for the turn-based ones. Would love it too, but I don't think we'll get any info until after both Stranger Than Heaven and Persona 4 Revival releases. Let's hope we're both wrong though!

Re: Talking Point: Which Games Have Been The Most Impressive On Xbox Series S In Your Opinion?
Haven't been trying many new games, so I'll go with Assassin's Creed Shadows. One of the most beautiful games I've played.

Not interested in any of this, but might watch a Fable TV series or something like that... Oh wait, no. I remembered I didn't like Fallout.

Haha, thanks! A little bit of prejudice against my misunderstood masterpiece. 😭
Re: Silver Pines Is Reviewing Exceptionally Well, Positioning It As One Of 2026's Best Games
That sounds pretty cool. If it has some RPG elements I'll probably like it. If not, I'm not so sure.

Re: Senua At Risk Of Cancellation As Ninja Theory Employees Announce They've Left The Studio
It was always a series with very little mainstream appeal. People complain about the "AAA slop" but games need to sell. Sadly, that's the business.
Re: Poll: How Many 'Mythic' Xbox Achievements Do You Reckon You'll Have?
The Series S was my first Xbox console, so I guess a dozen or so. 20 max I think.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 3-4)
Still playing New World Aeternum. The Castlevania demo also made me want to play a real Castlevania so I'll probably start Bloodstained. Infernax is another awesone choice.
Re: Three More Particularly Notable Free Demos Have Just Been Added To The Xbox Store
Tried the Castlevania demo and it's a fine metroidvania game, but doesn't feel like Castlevania at all.
Might try the Elta one, looked cool.
Re: Free Play Days: Try These Xbox Games For Free (October 1-4)
I have most of those. Sad that it's not Shadows instead of Odyssey. Odyssey is far better imo, but I already have it.
Re: Mythic Achievements Are Officially On The Way, As Rollout Begins Today For Xbox Insiders
This is cool! And 360 support? Even cooler.
Re: These Are The 70+ Most Important New Features In The Witcher 3 Remastered

Re: Indie Games Survey 2026
Done! Had to check my finished games! 7 in the last six months for me, but sometimes it's more.
Re: Xbox CTO Explains What Caused 'Phantom Achievements' To Appear
Haven't had this problem. My problem is that downloads work whenever they want. Games that should download in an hour or two take six hour minimum.

Re: Shaky Rumour Claims Xbox Game Pass Could Be Getting Major Changes In 2027
@tho_mi
Persona 6 doesn't even have a release date and it's coming to Game Pass. Fair to assume it also isn't gonna release close to Persona 4 Revival. So can't be early 2027.
Re: Shaky Rumour Claims Xbox Game Pass Could Be Getting Major Changes In 2027
It sounds really fake, we still have Day 1 games announced set to release on February 2027.
The ad tier, I can see it happening. The rest not so much.
Re: KEMURI Dev Says It's Too Exhausting To Release An Xbox Version, And We Do Actually Sympathise
Really Unseen because I've never heard about them or the game.
Asha should really do something about all the games skipping XBOX though.
Re: Roundup: All The Biggest Reveals From Blizzcon 2026, Including Two Massive Announcements
I don't know why I keep checking Activision-Blizzard news if I don't like anything from them.
I keep expecting something different I guess.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 12-13)
I'm trying not to only clear some of my backlog, but more specifically games I started in the past but ended up abandoning them.
I think I'm close to finishing The Technomancer on XBOX. Classic Spiders game: good game with a lot of jank.
Maybe around the half point on 7th Dragon III: Code VFD on 3DS.
And Last Scenario on PC, an RPG Maker title.
I started 7th Dragon again but my last save was from 2017. 😂
Re: Sony Dropped Kojima's 'PHYSINT' Over Budget, Profits & Timed Exclusivity Concerns, Sources Say

Re: Xbox Achievement Record Smashed As Brazilian Player Reaches 10 Million Gamerscore

Edit: oh nevermind, read the number wrong. No way in hell. 😂
Re: Xbox Reveals More Of What To Expect From Tokyo Game Show Showcase Next Week

Re: Xbox Is Officially Taking Over From PlayStation On Hideo Kojima's New 'PHYSINT' Game
Great PR move, not sure about the financial side of it.
Re: Xbox Reveals More Of What To Expect From Tokyo Game Show Showcase Next Week
XBOX always puts the best showcases. Besides Nintendo, it's also the one you wanna watch for JRPGs.
BTW, I'll say it again, love how the article says the time in my region. 🙏🏻
Re: Multiple Games Announced For Xbox Following September 2026's Nintendo Direct
@acmiguens
I'm not really an expert in Dragon Quest. Maybe they use it when it's kind of a different genre? I'm not sure.
Re: Multiple Games Announced For Xbox Following September 2026's Nintendo Direct
Damn, saw Dragon Quest Heroes and I thought it was a new Musou game. Oh well.
Re: GTA 6 Has No Major Xbox Competitors This November, But Nintendo Is Going Against It
Was never interested that much in Zelda, to be honest. And I've tried a few. Not for me, but good for the people that want it.
