Maybe this one will be for me. Couldn't get into the last two.
Been replaying NFS Most Wanted recently (2005), and realized the music is such a big part in games like these.
Since the setting is Japan, maybe I'll like the music this time.
I remember being able to put my own music into Midnight Club L.A back on the PS3. That was so awesome.
Honestly I might go back to that one. I still have music on my PS3. 😂

Never heard of this before, so I get the news of its existence and the news that I won't be able to play it at the same time. 👍🏻

@LordDieALot

Don't you need to pay for the expansion for that?

I'll pass. The first person camera killed it for me (and the new boring main character since 7). I'm not willing to pay to play in third person.

Outlaws was actually pretty good. I imagine it's even better after all the patches and updates.

Still really good value imo.

Console users gotta pay more for the same (or less) as always.

Better than a PS4 for sure if you wanna play some older games too.
I'm still salty my whole PS3 library was useless on PS4.

Finished Blue Reflection, Lost Dimension and MK vs DC Universe this week.

Not sure what I'll play now.

Maybe Okage: Shadow King, maybe MK11, maybe Wanted: Dead.

Fable the most excited for.

Forza Horizon the least excited for.

Being a indie doesn't really narrow it that much, haha. Is there any indie in the works that would be a good surprise?

There's some cool stuff here, but I'm really glad I didn't spend 3.5 hours watching the show.

I enjoyed this one. This is good news in my opinion.

I don't know which games that Shinobi guy likes though.

I always read comments like "a game for everyone is a game for no one", but Fortnite continues to show the opposite.

Please... PLEASE don't f#@k it up. 🙏🏻😭

@Hern4ndeZzz

Fair enough. I just feel like if you played them when they were released, it's not pillar, just a forgotten franchise.
Forgotten by them, I mean.

I'd be a little interested in New Vegas if they don't dumb it down like they usually do with sequels.

Fable is one of the four pillars? I mean I love Fable, and I really want to know about the next one but I don't think you can call Fable that if the last game was 15 years -two generations- ago.

Wasn't expecting the first Final Fantasy. I think it's my favorite one! Might play it again.

@Krzzystuff

I stopped enjoying it soon after Act 1. The only character I cared about was Gustave and his relationship with Maelle... So yeah.

I hated the exploration. Combat was fine, nothing more.
Music was incredible but everything else fell short for me.

Glad I didn't pay for it.

Honestly I'm really glad I never preordered the game. I had to force myself to finish it since I was already close to the end. I don't see myself playing it ever again, so thanks Game Pass.
Could be interesting to see what they do next, but I won't hold my breath.

Echo Generation 2 is my most anticipated one, haha.

The more I read about these remakes, the less I like them.

I catched up with all the Yakuza, Assassin's Creed, Far Cry and all Persona/Atlus' games.
I'm not sure what my resolution could be this year.

I'm still playing Blue Reflection on PS4. It's a pretty chill JRPG. It has quite a bit of fanservice though, so it's definitely not for everyone. But I'm more for the gameplay and story.
Will probably go back to Xbox after this one.

@Rodimusprime13

I finished with no problem tbh. I played it long after it was released though. Maybe they nerfed some bosses or something? I'm not that good.

@RBRTMNZ

I meant no real, good reason. Yeah, I'm with you there.
I really enjoyed it.

Flintlock was pretty good imo. Another game hated for no reason. Kinda short, too. Definitely doable.

@McDen

+1 on Expedition 33. Way overhyped. Doesn't really do anything new.

Sword and Fairy 7 was actually pretty good.

The first Zero Escape game (back when it was only 999) it's one of the best stories ever created. It's best enjoyed on a DS though.

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.

I have one message and it's from Microsoft. 😂

I think my favorite was The Rogue Prince of Persia or Veilguard.

I'm letting my Xbox rest a little. I'm playing Blue Reflection on PS4. Very cute and relaxing JRPG.

Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, Avowed, Assassin's Creed Shadows and South of Midnight were my favorite from this year.

I finished a lot of games this year, some of them not on Xbox (very few) and some that I had already finished before. But I actually keep track.
Here's my list:

Metaphor ReFantazio
Atelier Rorona
Streets of Rage 4
The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles
WWE 2K15
Persona 4 Arena Ultimax
RetroRealms: Ash vs Evil Dead
Evil West
Avowed
Eiyuden
Like a Dragon Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
Assassin's Creed Shadows
Toki Juju Densetsu
Lords of Exile
(Not)God of War (the PS4 one)
Save Room
God of War 1
God of War 2
God of War: Chains of Olympus
God of War 3
Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death
Castle of Illusion (Original)
Double Dragon (NES)
Disorder: Save Your Family
Trash Quest
Knights of Pen and Paper +1
South of Midnight
Zombie Survivors
Jedi Survivor
Expedition 33
Rocket Rats
Farmer Survivors
Undertale
Echo Generation
Terra Memoria
Fate/Extra
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Raidou Remastered
Jade Empire
The Rogue Prince of Persia
Dragon Age: The Veilguard
The Outer Worlds
Injustice 1
South Park: The Stick of Truth
Mortal Kombat 1
Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments
Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter
Inscryption
Child of Light
The Mummy Demastered
Far Cry Primal

Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii was the best of those IMO.

Here's my ranking if anyone's interested. Took the images from HowLongToBeat but a few games weren't there. A few games changed positions since last time I made it this year. I alao had finished WWE 2K25 but forgot:

A little late, but Merry Christmas, everyone!

@Deljo

I didn't realize that. 😂💀

@FarmDog08

I have +1000 (just on Xbox)... I do have a bit of a problem, yeah 😅
I don't think I will ever finish all.of them unless I keep playing until my 70s

Okay, so... Yeah, definitely more than 100. 😅

347. There are some DLCs there, but there's also some bundles... So more or less. I really need to stop, haha.

It's an excellent question! I'll check it out, but I have a feeling it was +100.

The other question is easy, 100% digital.

I've just bought Titanfall yesterday for the first time.

Avowed was hated for no reason. It was compared to Skyrim which it isn't trying to be and then hated because it's not that.

I don't care if I can't pick up every spoon and bowl.
Avowed was fun, with cool characters and an interesting enough story.
It was a proper RPG.
Definitely deserved more love.

Only Shinobi from that list for me.

Damn, those people have a lot of free time. 😂

No way in hell. Those awards are a joke.

Managed to more or less complete my gamer goal.

Finished Child of Light (lovely game!)
Finished The Mummy Demastered (very cool Metroidvania which can be finished in less than 5 hours).
And managed to finish Far Cry Primal just last night.

I feel pretty good about that. I'll do some more side missions in Primal and after that... I don't know.

10% PS4 playing old games.
