I think AI is the future, like it or not. Most studios are going to use it (some more than others), so I don't see being open about it as bad thing. It's just the timing that is TERRIBLE. And yeah, no gaming company is our friend, where do people get that from?
I'll give it a try. Reviews and scores never stopped me from playing a game. That "the best since Lies of P" makes me think though, since I thought that one was just fine.
They should really stop with the online shooters. Only one in ten doesn't flop hard. And I say this with no hate. I don't mind if there are 10 or 100, but it just doesn't seem worth it.
I still have to play both Psychonauts games. I've bought the first one ages ago. This one sounds intriguing too. There's just too many games and so little time!
I really enjoy the combat and how using all jobs get you permanent upgrades. I put my in-game playlist and it's time to grind. Which ends up being surprisingly fun.
I've been playing Wildermyth, which is amazing. Recommend for anyone who likes creating their own characters, SRPG/kinda XCOM 2-style, choices, board games and random events. Really surprised with that one.
Also, Raidou Remastered. A really good one. I feel like they made the enemies have too much HP, but the QoL improvements are really good.
And Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Honestly, I've got all the Achievements, finished it in Legend and did the DLC dungeon, but after Expedition 33 I really wanted a turn-based RPG I enjoy and went back to get all the characters and their jobs to LV99.
I wish this would be true for smaller games, mainly weird japanese ones that aren't exclusive for any console but just skip Xbox.
I don't complain too much because I knew when I got my Xbox that it wasn't the place for those kind of games and the other benefits really outweight the cons (at least for me).
I guess I'll just grab a Switch 1 someday to play the ones I missed.
I thought it was alright, but I know I'm in the minority here.
Everyone should also remember that the games aren't put on GP for free.
Sandfall should have received money from Microsoft and no one forced them to accept.
Question is, would those hypothetical sales be more or less money than the amount they received from MS in the first place?
It was a chore exploring, honestly. The combat was fun even though it doesn't really change that much throughout. Reminded me of Shadow Hearts back on the PS2 and those Paper Mario games. I feel like some enemies were unfair, like that boss that attacks like 20 times in a row. Took me a few turns to realize it was gonna attack one more time than last. 🤣
No, I said it's not a good game to use as metric if you wanna know if Xbox gamers are interested in Sony's first party titles which are mainly single player.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows DLC Lands On Xbox In September, Free For Those Who Pre-Ordered
Ready to.go back! One of the best games of this year imo!
I want to do the new quests too! It's gonna be awesome.
The DLC seems centered about Naoe, but I hope Yasuke has a lot of screen time too.

Wasn't expecting Robocop on Game Pass. Almost bought it a few times and never did.

Re: Talking Point: Are You Excited For Double Fine's Follow-Up To Psychonauts 2?

I've bought the first one ages ago. This one sounds intriguing too. There's just too many games and so little time!

This one looks super interesting on premise alone.
Probably not a Day 1 for me, but really curious.

Re: Talking Point: After Almost Two Years, How Do You Feel About Xbox's Starfield In 2025?
I subbed to GP specifically to play it... And then asked for a refund in a day or two.
Last Bethesda game I enjoyed was Oblivion or Fallout 3 whichever of those was the more "new" one.
Re: 'Hotel Barcelona' Is A Bonkers Horror Game Led By Two Famous Japanese Creators

Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon In July 2025

It was still a good experience. It wasn't a bad game by any means.
Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon In July 2025
@FarmDog08
Already finished it. I thought it was alright. Solid 6 maybe 7 out of 10.
Music was an easy 10/10 though.
Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite Backwards Compatible Xbox Game?
@VeganH
Man, I really wish Guardian Heroes was on my region.
Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite Backwards Compatible Xbox Game?
Probably Mass Effect 2 even if there's the Legendary Edition.
Jade Empire is great too.

Re: Is Xbox Game Pass Unsustainable? Arkane Founder Sparks Huge Debate On Social Media
I think games like Expedition 33 showed you can make a successful game that is a Day 1 on GP and still sells really well.
For Microsoft itself, I think they would have axed it already if it wasn't.

Re: Poll: Helldivers 2 Isn't On Xbox Game Pass, So Will You Be Buying It?
As I said before that mentality of "Xbox players should show they care" it's really silly.
Why would I need to buy a game I'm not interested in and never wanted in the first place?
There's a lot of better games in which to spend my money.

I'd say it's not a good choice. It's not like I'm interested in Sony's first party games, but an online one is something I would never spend money on.
