@xxk7xx I've never played the new trilogy of games. So this is somewhat more palatable and easier to get into if you're not into souls-like crushing difficultly? Either way, I'm going to give it a shake since it's on GP. I've just read this series is hard as hell, so it'd be nice to know what I'm up against before diving in. Thanks in advance.
Nah, I'll just play it when it's on GP. I'm pretty deep in visions of mana, and now I want to try ninja gaiden 2, plus I just bought alone in the dark. So, I'm just hoping I'll even be able to play it on launch day and not busy with other stuff.
@Banjo- impossible lair might be one of the best 2d platformers in the last decade. Definitely top 5. Highly recommend at full price, let alone that price.
@Scrubchub good call. It feels good cleaning house doesn't it? I'm saving $50/ month now with my recent cuts. Gamepass is going to be hard to unsub too though if I'm being honest. I really do enjoy it.
Not really sure I'm making one this year. I'll play what I can where I can. Only thing I'm trying to do this year is maybe stop subbing to gamepass. I'm sort of done with subscriptions. I canceled a bunch of TV streaming channels recently too.
Halo 2, evil within 2, still wakes the deep, hellblade 2, diablo 4, halo ce, turnip boy robs a bank, gears of war 2, sunset overdrive, robocop rogue city, psychonauts 2. Quite a bit actually. Hoping to finish Indy this year too.
Played for an hour last night and it was tough to put it down, but it was also 11pm and I had work this morning. Can't wait to jump back in, I'm fully enthralled already.
I hadn't realized how little I played xbox this year until now. My most played game was fallout 4 at 25hrs. My other top played were from my son. But really, I've lost my hype on xbox this year after all the back and forth, lack of big releases, putting their games on other platforms, etc. Really soured my taste on the brand unfortunately. Hoping with indy, it could reignite my love for xbox but who knows. Really took a dip this year over last year for me.
