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.
Yea, based on what I've seen online/videos, I'd have to agree with this review. Not even worried about the bugs or glitches, it's the core gameplay and how broken it is that led me to uninstall it. It's hard to justify a pre-order these days, unless it's a well known nintendo title imo. Aside from their sports titles, they usually deliver on day 1. Such a shame.
Edit: honestly, it makes me just rather play Fallout
Definitely going to uninstall and wait it out. I wasn't completely sold on it anyway, I was only going to try since I have gamepass.
I can deal with the glitches, visual performance issues, bugs, etc. But based on what I've read and seen online, I'm more concerned about the actual gameplay itself. Very low weight limit, scarce resources, no fast travel, unforgiving combat, enemies seeing/hearing you when you're not in sight, silly npc interactions, among some other stuff. Doesn't sound like I'd have too much fun with it unfortunately so I'm out. Hopefully people have a good time with it who are interested.
I don't think I ever played spyro. Maaaaaybe I rented it at one point as a kid, but I can't recall. Either way, I'll check this out when I'm done with halo 2
@Tasuki I got a little more than halfway thru and I enjoyed it enough to keep playing. However, there's one chapter that's "supernatural/hallucinogenic" and I couldn't wait to finish it. Not because it was scary, but because it was just an annoying and frustrating chapter imo. Long story short after spending a good amount of time finishing it, i thought it had saved since I was back at the safe house and it didnt. Somehow it didn't auto save at the very end of that chapter and I would've had to replay the entire thing. No thank you. So I just un-installed and I'm keeping on with halo 2.
I'm buying dragon quest at some point but not sure when. I just started up M&L and that'll be a 40hr game. Ill be trying Metal Slug Tactics after Halo 2. Then indy is coming next month. Maybe ill toss it on the ol Santa WL
I did just finish Ash Vs Evil Dead last night and that last stage was tough as nails. I'm trying to decide if I want to try out the Halloween game now on RetroRealm arcade.
Depends on the state of the game on switch. If it runs well enough I'll grab it there for the portability. If it's only on xbox or xbox and ps, i go with xbox since i don't own a ps.
