Pretty much the same every year. Stop playing games that aren’t clicking with me, and dip into my backlog more. The latter will be much easier with my canceled GP subscription. I’ve already finished rise of the tomb raider and I’m currently playing through vice city. Also keep waiting for sales. I don’t need to keep buying games at full $70 price tags.
@Tasuki cmon man, you’re better than that! It most definitely was the best game I played all year. The music, the set pieces, the combat, the characters, all of it were top notch. I can’t remember if you tried it out yet or not, but you definitely should. It’s a modern day FF.
On a side note, did you ever grab echoes of wisdom?
With Metroid Prime 4 now in my rear view mirror, I’ve started playing Wario World for the first time ever. It’s actually super fun, but can be clunky at times though. Boss battles are simple, yet still engaging.
On the Xbox front, I’m finally going back to finish my Rise of the Tomb Raider play through that I stopped a few months back. Also just fired up GTA Vice City for the first time since I was in HS. So much fun, and what a nostalgia rush. Merry Christmas everyone!
Hard to say anything at all really. Maybe the white box text in the beginning has something to do with picking your own adventure. Only thing I can think of.
@Tasuki me and my son just played through it. Its rock solid. It should remind you of shredders revenge since it was made by the same team. Its not as good, but its up there as one of the better modern bmups. Still think shredders revenge and SoR4 are the 2 best games in the genre.
Still RDR2 on xbox which i can't tell if I'm enjoying yet or not. So far, it's been just go to point A from point B for me.
Also on xbox playing a decent amount of Fallout New Vegas which i am enjoying.
On switch 2 I'm playing my typical November game, OoT. I just finished the shadow temple last night, and should have the game completed by the time MP4 drops.
A tiny amount of Mario Golf 64 with the family as well..
If silent hill 2 drops and its reasonably priced I'll grab it. I have some store credit to spend, but i also want to see what black Friday deals are going on
Getting used to it now, even though I dont agree with the choice. All I can say is I won't be buying another Xbox next gen. Ill keep my s since I've purchased quite a bit on it, but I'm not going to continue buying into the brand. Ill just get xbox games on nintendo as they games come to that platform.
Enjoying 4 remake atm. Really liked playing 2, and 3 remake. 8 was probably my 2nd favorite so this team knows what they're doing. They're all bangers. I never finished 0, it just got too hard back in the day for me.
@MrStark lots of good ones in there for sure. Ive been waiting on RE4R to hit another $20 sale but it hasn't yet. I think id be too chicken to play silent hill without some QoL features honestly. I did see The Thing Remastered is on a sale, but i heard its not that great.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 6-7)
@Lup 3 things I love, stranger things( favorite show of all time), shorter rpgs, and paper mario combat. I might have to.

Re: Talking Point: How Do You Feel About Halo: Campaign Evolved Launching Day One On PS5?
Getting used to it now, even though I dont agree with the choice. All I can say is I won't be buying another Xbox next gen. Ill keep my s since I've purchased quite a bit on it, but I'm not going to continue buying into the brand. Ill just get xbox games on nintendo as they games come to that platform.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 25-26)
Mostly Resident 4 Remake on Xbox and Angry Video Game Nerd 8bit on Switch 2
Re: Sarah Bond: Our Next-Gen Console Will Be 'Very Premium' & Informed By ROG Xbox Ally

Re: Report: Resident Evil 0 Remake In Development For Release After Requiem
Enjoying 4 remake atm. Really liked playing 2, and 3 remake. 8 was probably my 2nd favorite so this team knows what they're doing. They're all bangers. I never finished 0, it just got too hard back in the day for me.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 18-19)
My 2 big games at the moment are Resident Evil 4 Remake on xbox, and Super Mario Galaxy 2 on S2.
I'm also playing Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia and Retrorealms Halloween

Re: Xbox Journalist Says Latest Rumours Are 'A Huge Challenge For The Brand Right Now'
Don't need to be an xbox journalist to make that statement. I feel like we're all thinking the same.
