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.
I'll continue doing what I always did and sub for a month here and there.
Depending on the game I might manage to finish two or three in that month. If those are $70 games, I'll be saving $180.
That's good for me. But it's different for everyone. I can play 2-3 hours a day. I know some people can't play that much even in a week, so this is really depending on personal circumstances.
I hope they bring the modern stuff back into AC. Valhalla had an amazing modern day story and then... We've got Mirage and Shadows. Shadows is awesome but it has almost nothing that makes it an AC.
Yeah, it's not for everyone. I can squeeze 2-3 hours a day, so I could finish a few short games, or a little less if they're longer. For example we'll be getting Ninja Gaiden 4 (probably on the shorter side) and The Outer Worlds 2 this month. Two games I wanna play. The Outer Worlds 2 is probably gonna be big, but I think I can manage the two.
It really depends. I don't "rush". Coming back to them is something I don't really care about. I have a 1000+ games backlog, so I don't usually replay stuff. I understand if it's unfun to you, but for me it's cool. I enjoy playing two games, and save close to $100.
I have a ***** connection and never had trouble with this not with cloud gaming Game Pass games, but honestly I most of the games here I don't care about.

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.

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.

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. 😂

Lowest price ever or don't bother.

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.
Re: These 30+ Games Are Coming To Xbox Next Week (October 13-17)
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.
Re: Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Will Now Get 75+ Day One Titles Per Year, A '50% Increase' On Before
I'll continue doing what I always did and sub for a month here and there.
Depending on the game I might manage to finish two or three in that month. If those are $70 games, I'll be saving $180.
That's good for me. But it's different for everyone. I can play 2-3 hours a day. I know some people can't play that much even in a week, so this is really depending on personal circumstances.
Re: Xbox May Have Accidentally Leaked Mortal Kombat 1 For Game Pass
I saw this! Let's hope it's real. Definitely one of those games I wouldn't buy but I want to try.
Re: Poll: What Are Your Plans For Xbox Game Pass After This Week's News?
I'll continue subbing for a month here and there as always.
Will sub to Ultimate when Ninja Gaiden 4 comes out.
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Reviews Are Saying About Digimon Story Time Stranger
It has pretty good scores. Of course the blue site can't give it a good one if it's not Kojima, FromSoft or an exclusive. 😂
The demo was really good honestly. Will pick it up eventually.
Re: Ubisoft Forms 'Vantage Studios' To Work On Some Of Its Biggest Franchises
I hope they bring the modern stuff back into AC. Valhalla had an amazing modern day story and then... We've got Mirage and Shadows.
Shadows is awesome but it has almost nothing that makes it an AC.
Re: Xbox Game Pass Is Getting A Major Overhaul With New Names, Games & Price Changes
@huroma
Yeah, it's not for everyone. I can squeeze 2-3 hours a day, so I could finish a few short games, or a little less if they're longer.
For example we'll be getting Ninja Gaiden 4 (probably on the shorter side) and The Outer Worlds 2 this month. Two games I wanna play.
The Outer Worlds 2 is probably gonna be big, but I think I can manage the two.
Re: Here's A Breakdown Of All The New Prices For Xbox Game Pass As Of October 2025
I'll pay for a month when Ninja Gaiden 4 releases to play that, and play The Outer Worlds 2 too.

I enjoy playing two games, and save close to $100.
Re: 40+ Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (October 1)
@Tomato_Goose
I've bought it close to release to be honest. One of the two or three games I didn't mind paying top dollar for. Totally worth it imo.
Re: 40+ Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (October 1)
Hogwarts Legacy is really good. ⚡
Re: Xbox Game Pass Is Getting A Major Overhaul With New Names, Games & Price Changes
Does it suck? Yeah, it does. I usually just buy a month here and there, there's no rewards in my region.
For me it's still a really good deal (worse than before, of course). But if I can manage to beat two new games in a month that's like $110 I'm saving.
Re: 'Ubisoft+ Classics' Joins Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Hugely Expanding The Library
Honestly I have already bought most of these, but it's still pretty cool. I love Ubi. 👌🏻
Re: Review: EA Sports FC 26 (Xbox) - A Fresh Take On The Series Thanks To Its 'Authentic' Twist
I'll do the same as always. Play a little of Career Mode, remember that I don't like football games and move on. 😂

Re: Report: AAA The Lord Of The Rings Game In Development With Third-Person Gameplay
Both Middle-Earth games were great. Hogwarts Legacy was amazing.
This could be really good.
Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon In October 2025
Really good month. We're eating good. 🔥
