Indifferent. The first one was so boring, I have zero interest in the sequel. Also I don't trust modern Sony at all. They're pretty much incapable of making a game where they don't shove the message down your throat, especially when it's a sequel.
Been continuing with the Sherlock Holmes games. Devil's Daughter now which I finished many years ago but I don't remember much about it. A little of MK1. And Vampire Survivors.
It seems there's some stuff from Vampire Survivors than won't come out today on Xbox (or is it ALL the stuff?). Official Twitter is saying maybe on Friday.
It makes some sense. I don't think I ever used it, but every damn time I talk with someone (younger or not) they do use it and waste hours and hours of just watching reels or whatever they're called. There's also an alarming number of people that just watches games on Twitch instead of just playing them. Market and society is not what it was on the NES days nor on the 360 days. The F2P stuff like Fortnite and Hoyoverse games should be proof enough of that. And there's a lot of mobile gaming too even if a lot of people don't think of it as competition.
I'm playing Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments which I have in my backlog since the 360 days. 😅 And I can't stop playing Vampire Survivors which is getting a lot of free content!
If I manage to finish Crimes and Punishments I'll probably play another of the Sherlock games.
They said it felt half-baked or something like that and preferred to focus on the personal stories of the companions or something like that.
A lot of BS imo. But it is what it is.
I really liked everything I've played from Obsidian. The Outer Worlds 1 was pretty much a more modern New Vegas. A little clunky but with a lot of good ideas and even more dialogue posibilities which I always love in RPGs. Avowed needed a bit more or that but it had really cool combat.
First one was really good. I feel like we need more games like these that have actual RPG elements but without the overwhelming combat system of CRPGs.
Finished Batman Telltale (the two seasons) a few days ago. Now it's time for Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments and good old Vampire Survivors. That game always has something to do.
I love these guys. The one was a pretty good -if flawed- game. 2 seems to be a real upgrade to that. I miss when open world games had good RPG elements.
I have more than 1000 games bought, so I don't replay games too much nowadays. If I do, I probably wait more than a year to do it. There are special cases though, but that's just for my all time favorites, like Mass Effect, the Persona 4-5, Dragon Age 2, Assassin's Creed Odyssey or The Witcher 3.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 8-9)
Finished Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter.
Started Chasm (the metroidvania, not the other one), really good far.
I've also installed Mass Effect the Legendary Edition. Need to finish 2 and 3 in max difficulty and a few other Achievements to have everything.

That's cool! I was interested in this one!
Re: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Is Part Of Xbox Free Play Days This Week (November 6-9)
That's too expensive for me. 😂

Re: Two Games Are Available Across Xbox Game Pass Ultimate & Premium Today (November 5)
I've been in a Lovecraft mood, so Dead Static Drive looks really cool right now.
Re: Xbox Gets One Nomination For 'Ultimate Game Of The Year' At Golden Joysticks 2025
Nothing really worth it in my opinion, but I did love Shadows and Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
Re: These 11 Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (November 5-14)
Winter Burrow alone makes it worth it for me. Everything else is just a plus.
Re: Fortnite's Simpsons Crossover Is A Success, So Isn't It Time For A Hit & Run Remake?
MORE remakes? No thanks. Give me something new.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 1-2)
Been continuing with the Sherlock Holmes games. Devil's Daughter now which I finished many years ago but I don't remember much about it.
A little of MK1.
And Vampire Survivors.
Re: Silent Hill 2 Remake Has Been Rated For Xbox Series X|S In The US
There's no Halloween here so I don't really care about that, but I'm hoping they're not expecting to get full price after making me wait so long.
Re: Xbox 'Best Rated' Sale Now Live, Packed With Indie Titles At Up To 90% Off
Xuan Yuan Sword not on my region sadly. One of those I'll have to play on Playstation.

That's perfectly fine for the price.

Re: Poll: So, Are You Playing The Outer Worlds 2 In Early Access?
Damn, 72% wants to play the game. That's really good.
Re: Talking Point: How Do You Feel About Halo: Campaign Evolved Launching Day One On PS5?
Couldn't care less, honestly. It doesn't affect what I enjoy or don't.

It's the way of the future, like it or not.
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Reviews Are Saying About Xbox's The Outer Worlds 2
Knowing PS always gives a (few) point lower and being proven right each time will never stop being funny.

The Outer Worlds 1 was pretty much a more modern New Vegas. A little clunky but with a lot of good ideas and even more dialogue posibilities which I always love in RPGs.
Avowed needed a bit more or that but it had really cool combat.
Hopefully this one gets everything right.
Re: These 10 Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (October 22 - November 4)
Halls of Torment? Oh, hell yeah!
Re: Review: Ninja Gaiden 4 (Xbox) - Platinum Propels The Series Forward On Xbox Game Pass
Gonna bet PS gave it an 8. Most of the Day 1 Game Pass games always review lower there. 😂

Re: Talking Point: Xbox Should Use And Improve This New PlayStation Store Feature
Lowest price ever or don't bother.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 18-19)
Finished Batman Telltale (the two seasons) a few days ago.
Now it's time for Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments and good old Vampire Survivors. That game always has something to do.
Re: Report: Battlefield 6 Sells Over 6 Million Copies, And A Good Chunk Of Those Are On Xbox
B-But I thought Xbox gamers didn't buy games...
Re: The Outer Worlds 2 Is Bringing 'Big Sequel Energy' To Xbox Game Pass This Month
I love these guys. The one was a pretty good -if flawed- game. 2 seems to be a real upgrade to that. I miss when open world games had good RPG elements.
Re: Assassin's Creed Franchise Lead Quits Ubisoft As New 'Vantage Studios' Label Takes Shape
3 and Syndicate. Two of the best imo. Will be interesting to see what he works on next.

Re: Poll: Are You Buying Battlefield 6 For Xbox On Launch Weekend?
Not even for free. Not for me but I hope people enjoy it.

Red Haze sounds kinda interesting.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 11-12)
The Witcher 2, a little of Injustice 2 and Batman Telltale. Haven't been playing much. Sometimes nothing really hooks you.
Re: Talking Point: As We Approach GOTY Season, What's Your Pick As Things Stand?
Clearly, I never like the GOTYs. 😂
Re: Talking Point: As We Approach GOTY Season, What's Your Pick As Things Stand?
Maybe NG4 when it releases. Nothing else that I've played honestly.
Re: Absolum Studio Admits Xbox Release 'Wasn't A Priority' Due To Small Development Team
I get it, but at the time it sucks. I liked Dotemu but I don't think I'll be giving them my money then.
Re: Battlefield 6 Dev Explains Why It Isn't Following Black Ops 7 With Xbox One Version
That probably means that CoD will sell better.
Re: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Team Unveils New Content For 'Major' Upcoming Xbox Update
Honestly I don't think I will touch again the stuff this studio makes. Not even for free.
Not for me, sadly.
Re: These 12 Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (October 8-21)
Still pretty good value to be honest.
Still salty to pay more than PC users after paying for a Microsoft console.
Re: The Full Black Ops 6 Campaign Will Be Entirely Free For A Week, Starting This Thursday
That's pretty cool.
Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite Double Fine Game On Xbox?
Haven't played most of those but I played and finished Massive Chalice and I liked it, so that one.
Re: Vampire Survivors Is Adding Online Co-Op To The Xbox Game Pass Hit This Autumn
Incredible game that keeps adding stuff. One of the many great games I discovered thanks to Game Pass and ended up buying.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Still Buy An Elite Series 3 Controller For Xbox Series X|S?
Honestly I would never buy more than a simple controller no matter the console.
Re: Xbox Issues Statement Denying Rumour That Next-Gen Console Could Be Cancelled
I wasn't even aware of those rumours.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 4-5)
Assassin's Creed Shadows and The Fractured but Whole.
Amazing games.
Re: Xbox Game Studios Titles Up For Several Awards At Golden Joysticks 2025
South of Midnight OST > Expedition 33 OST.
That's my hot take.
Re: Microsoft Set To Announce 'Free' Xbox Cloud Gaming Tier With Ads
Could be pretty cool if they allow more time.
Re: Talking Point: So, Have You Tried Out Hogwarts Legacy On Xbox Game Pass Yet?
Qne of my favorite games from the last few years. Really, really fun. I've got all the Achievements too, but maybe I could play it one more time.
