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
Re: Dead Space Remake. Even though I've played a couple hours on GP already, and I'm currently doing a playthrough, I bought it anyway. Did the same with high on life/knife bundle.
I finished Metal Gear Solid last night. Overall good game with some hiccups here and there. With that said, I'm starting up 2 games tonight. Super Mario RPG + Dead Space Remake. I'll also continue my P5T playthrough. Good weekend lined up for sure.
@Tharsman yep, for sure. All great points. I just always feel bad about buying myself something around the holidays when there's so many people I need to buy for. Even if I were to hand down the S to my kids, ya know. It's such a steal, I just don't know if I want to spend the money for having a dish drive. That's the main reason I'd even get it.

@Banjo- exactly. Anyone remember that "big zelda blowout direct" he predicted? I sure don't. I never listen to a word he says

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: 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.

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.

Re: Here's A First Look At Baldur's Gate 3 Running On Xbox Series X & S

I'd be happy a nice GP shadow drop off some kind.
Re: Xbox's 'Largest' Sale Of 2023 Begins Next Week, 1400+ Games Included
Hoping Robocop gets a big discount. Maybe GTA trilogy just for giggles. Wwe 2k23, AC Mirage, DMC5, and sekiro would be nice too.
I see RE4R is 50% off. Do I NEED another game right now though lol
Re: EA Has Discounted Some Massive Games By 90% On Xbox This Week
@RIghteousNixon exactly. I mean, why not when it's under $10. It's a no Brainer to file it away for future playthroughs.
Re: Deals: 400+ Games Included In This Week's Xbox Sales (December 5-12)
Only grabbed dead space remake digital deluxe for 8 smackerinos

Re: Talking Point: What Are The Most Underrated Xbox Games Of This Year?
I still need to play robocop. Just too much to play on gamepass right now.
