@Kaloudz I'm just waiting patiently for the fabled FF7 remake to hit xbox. That's my most anticipated SE game on xbox, or even switch. I'll take what I can get at this point as long as it's not a cloud version.
Overall rock solid. Indiana Jones jumped up to my most anticipated xbox game this year. Avowed looks good as well. And if Mana isn't on GP, it'll be a day 1 buy.
Honestly, more one off projects like hi fi. Fps games are great, as are 3rd person like GoW games. But different experiences are why I love nintendo so much. More indie gems like xbox is great at putting out there, especially on gamepass. More gears games. And finally, silksong in the first quarter. Everything else would be gravy for me.
Not sure I have one just yet. I'm thinking playing through all the gears games, and some of the halo games. I've played most of the halo games, but not through the campaigns. I've only played gears of war 1 thus far. I'd like to make it a point to get through most of the Xbox first party games in 2024.
On switch, Beat 1 run of Hades last night and I think I'm done. Going to start arkham asylum. On xbox, Psychonauts 2. I'd love to finish this week so I can start robocop.
@eire-shabba I actually bought the bundle which Is rare for me. I almost never buy games I've already played on gamepass, or games that are currently on gamepass. But at the bundle price it was well worth it. I just haven't gotten around to the dlc yet.
Well for starters, getting an Xbox last December. I thought it would be a console I'd play 25% of the time compared to switch being 75%. Turned out to play it a bunch more than I expected this past year. My favorite moment was the shadow drop of Hi Fi early on as an adopter, and it being one of my favorite games of 2023. Then each month playing a new game on GP. Sea of Stars was a such a sublime experience for me this year as well. Happy new year fellow xbots 🙂
I'm kind of holding off on anything switch related. Waiting to see if I get some eshop credit for Xmas and I'll more than likely buy arkham trilogy, then start asylum. I did start steamworld dig 2, just not sure if I'm into it.
On my raspberry pi, I'll start Crusader of Centi. I've always heard about this zelda clone, so I want to give it a shake.
More than I thought actually. 23 games this year. And some are collections so I didn't count each individual game. Not bad at all and with gamepass, it could've been a bunch more.
Goat Simulator was "my" most played game of 2023 🤦♂️. Actually it was my little guy who racked up those hours. My 2 most played were starfield and sea of stars. 460hrs total for the year.
@abe_hikura kinda how I feel too. Might have to wait til pay day next week. Also playing super mario rpg, P5T and dead space. I need to at least finish 2 of those before starting BG3

Boom. Everything I would've wanted from an Indy game.
Re: Poll: How Would You Grade The Xbox Developer Direct 2024?
I'll go with a B. No disappointments but no real surprises. Indy blew me away though.

Re: Multiple New Xbox Rumours Are Circulating On Social Media This Week
@Banjo- awesome stuff. I can't wait to see if something gets announced Thursday. Either way, I'll be getting into gears of war 2 very soon.
Re: Multiple New Xbox Rumours Are Circulating On Social Media This Week
@eire-shabba for sure. I have gears of war 2 DL'd and I intend to start it soon.
Re: Multiple New Xbox Rumours Are Circulating On Social Media This Week
I can't decide if I should continue playing all the gears games ( only played 1) or wait for a potential new collection.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 13-14)
I am hammering through Psychonauts 2 in preparation of the direct next week for xbox.
On switch, only ghost trick at the moment. Hoping to finish by prince of persias release.
On the Pi, all sorts of little gems, but I'm taking more time with the original RE2.
Re: Review: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown - A Fantastically Slick & Surprisingly Accessible Return For Action-Platforming Royalty
Heck yeah. I'll be grabbing this. Not sure which system yet though, probably switch I'd imagine.

I'll fire it up I'm sure. But there's so much going on that I might not be able to get through it.
Re: Poll: Which Games Will Get Release Dates At Xbox Developer Direct?
@Grumblevolcano hoping for a shadow drop myself
Re: Xbox Announces New 'Developer Direct' Event For Next Week
Ooo very spicy indeed.
Re: Rumour: Xbox Might Bring Sea Of Thieves To PlayStation & Nintendo Switch
@Banjo- exactly. Anyone remember that "big zelda blowout direct" he predicted? I sure don't. I never listen to a word he says
Re: Rumour: Xbox Might Bring Sea Of Thieves To PlayStation & Nintendo Switch
Ah yes Jeff Grubb. Mr grain of salt himself.

Re: One Of The Best Games Of Last Generation Is Coming To Xbox Game Pass Next Week
Definitely the most tense game I've ever played. Literally terrified to do anything once I left a save room lol

Re: Happy New Year!
Happy new year fellow xboxers. Hope we all have a happy and prosperous 2024.

Re: Talking Point: What Are Your Favourite Xbox Memories Of The Past 12 Months?
@eire-shabba I played high on life late, so about April or so. Blown away by how much fun I had with it.
I sort of forgot about it and didn't rank it in my top 5 since it was a 2022 game. But overall, it was definitely a top 5 game for me this year.

Re: Ten Of The Best Xbox Games We Didn't Get Around To Reviewing In 2023
@Westernwolf4 awesome my man. Can't wait. I grew up on the movies as a kid so I'm excited.
Re: Ten Of The Best Xbox Games We Didn't Get Around To Reviewing In 2023
I actually just bought ghost trick last night. On switch though. I'll be giving it a go once I'm done with hades.
My next xbox game will be RoboCop or AC Mirage
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 30-31)
On switch, just hades. On xbox, just psychonauts 2. Happy new year everyone.
Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite Xbox First-Party Release Of 2023?
Team Hi Fi. However, I had a great time with starfield as well.

Re: Poll: What Were The Best Xbox Game Pass Additions In 2023?
Sea of Stars #1
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 23-24)
I'm kind of holding off on anything switch related. Waiting to see if I get some eshop credit for Xmas and I'll more than likely buy arkham trilogy, then start asylum. I did start steamworld dig 2, just not sure if I'm into it.
On my raspberry pi, I'll start Crusader of Centi. I've always heard about this zelda clone, so I want to give it a shake.
On a xbox, Psychonauts 2.
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Re: Talking Point: What Have You Bought In The Xbox Countdown Sale 2023?
Not yet! Waiting to see what I get for Xmas first. Think smarter, not harder 🫠
Re: 'Dungeons Of Hinterberg' Is Shaping Up Beautifully Ahead Of 2024 Xbox Game Pass Launch
When I first saw this, I was really interested. Then on the second go round, it didn't look as great as I thought. We'll see how reviews go.
Re: Poll: Four Months Later, Are You Still Playing Starfield?
I did my time with it. About 40hrs. Like most games, I don't see a need to go back.
Re: Poll: How Many Xbox Games Have You Actually Bought In 2023?
More than I thought actually. 23 games this year. And some are collections so I didn't count each individual game. Not bad at all and with gamepass, it could've been a bunch more.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 16-17)
super mario rpg should be finished tonight. On xbox, dead space remake. if I finish both I'm starting Ittle Dew and Psychonauts 2
Also might play some retro stuff on the Pi
Re: Poll: Three Years On, What Do You Think Of Quick Resume For Xbox Series X|S?
It's potentially the greatest gaming feature since saving became a thing back in the day with certain games like LoZ.
Re: Poll: What Is Your Xbox Game Of The Year For 2023?
@themightyant I also really enjoyed chained echoes( played on switch though).
If you liked chained echoes give sea of stars a look.

I hope everyone got to enjoy chained echoes. Such a wonderful game.
