I remember buying my Xbox in the Sega GT/JSRF bundle at Best Buy. The whole reason I got an Xbox is because Shenmue 2 was coming out on it. We didn't get a Dreamcast Shenmue 2 release in the U.S.
I put my One S in my sons room and he uses it everyday. Rarely for games though. When we go out of town I will pack up the One S and bring it wherever we go.
I will have no expectations. They made one of my favorite games of all time. I can't ask for more. I don't know how they will ever top the soundtrack though.
Expedition 33
Mindseye
Mafia: The Old Country
A Game About Digging a Hole
Donut County
PowerWash Simulator 2
The Precinct
Plumbers Don't Wear Ties
The Invinsible
She Sees Red
South of Midnight
Around 20 games probably. At most 4 digital every thing else a hard copy. I bought Expedition 33 twice. A regular physical copy and the Amazon Mirror Edition, but I've only played the game through Gamepass.
I played the first couple campaign levels but really didn't like the always online and it being built more for co-op. It's the 1st CoD campaign I won't finish in about a decade.
I bought it for $35 a few months ago and have no regrets. It's more like Mafia: The Old Country than GTA. You cannot hi-jack any car, there are no radio stations, there are no police. You do a mission, cut scene, next mission.
20 years ago I was 15 and starting my first job and had money for the first time. I never got a 360 or PS3, that generation I bought a PC. FEAR, STALKER, Oblivion... good times. That Gears of War commercial really tempted me though.
I got it at launch but have some concerns. It's fun but where are the weapons? Only 3 snipers rifles? No scopes over 10x? The maps I've played so far fell small compared to Battlefield 4.

It does not deserve all the hate it got. I got it for $40 and had a great time with it.
Re: Talking Point: One Year Later, How Do You Feel About Xbox RPG Avowed?
Never played it. Art style is huge for me and this game didn't check that box.
Re: Talking Point: Three Years Later, What Do You Think Of The GoldenEye 007 Port For Xbox?
I never played the original so there was no nostalgia factor for me. I played the first level on Gamepass and then uninstalled.

Dave the Diver and more Battlefield 6

Re: Control 2 Could Show Up At The Game Awards Following New Remedy Trademark

Re: Opinion: This Xbox 360 Launch Game Is Still One Of The Best Console Racers Ever
PGR 3 was great but I spent the most time with PGR 2. Online with PGR 2 was a lot of fun, great community.

Battlefield 6 and split screen Powerwash Simulator 2 with the wife.

My wife and I put 18 hours into PowerWash Simulator 2 over the weekend. It's dangerous

Battlefield 6 and Powerwash Simulator 2. Maybe Pacific Drive if I have time... it's a three day weekend for me.
Re: Two Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (October 23)
Was Pacific Drive a suprise release? I've been waiting for an Xbox release!
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Reviews Say About PowerWash Simulator 2 On Xbox Game Pass
