Pretty much only skyward sword on switch and diablo 4 on xbox. There's quite a bit coming out soon, so i don't want to take on anymore games. I also want to play fallout 4 after nearly finishing the show
Yes, I'm watching Fallout and I'm also a few episodes in. Makes me want to try the series for the first time.
Also loved wrestlemania last weekend and loved the new direction wwe is headed in. It does make me want to buy wwe2k 24 which is a on a sale atm.
But as for gaming this weekend, I just finished my 5th or 6th playthrough of Cadence of Hyrule last night, so to continue on my zelda push, I started up Skyward Sword again.
Funny I downloaded this yesterday I believe? Never played a fallout game and thought I should start with that. By the time I actually get to it, the update should be ready.
@Balta666 I would agree. I glossed over it during the 360 Era. Played the first two games within this past year, and the 3rd one is Qued up and I'll play it soon. I still need to play 4 and 5 as well.
I went into High On Life not expecting much. Figured it would be silly and boring gameplay, but yeesh; I was wrong. One of my favorite games I played last year and I couldn't put it down.
My only issue is the singing in at the beginning and not having quick resume work. Getting logged in at first was a tad annoying but wasn't overly cumbersome. Other than that, it's great.
@PJOReilly I still don't know how you crank out as many great and thorough reviews as you do. Put down the hastega kool-aid and see some daylight! 😉
Really? I was expecting alot more. Especially with what, 3 or 4 delays? What gives? Bugs shouldn't be an issue after all the time they had. Oh well, saving $60 now, and can focus on diablo 4.
I personally can't wait. I'm making sure I have a clean slate on xbox for the release. I'm more than halfway done with Halo CE right now so I should be good. I probably won't be starting any other games either until I'm finished with it.
Quite a bit actually. Switch- FF6. I so desperately want to finish this one. It's become a slog in the second half unfortunately. As it stands, I like IV much better, but 9 still takes the cake for me personally. I couldn't get past Magic Master the other night after trying different builds for an hour and a half. I had no idea you needed reraise to overcome him. With that said, I had to turn on auto battle to drain his MP which took literally 45 minutes. Oh well, just trying to get through this and be done with it. Xbox- Halo CE. Not much to say about this one. It's great, fun. Haven't played this game since it came out with some friends back in the early 00s. WiiU- Paper Mario Color Splash. Just ok, nothing great except for the visuals and and the writing. The game looks stunning even on the ol WiiU. Just don't like that it's level based, and the battle system is very boring and tedious.
Absolutely love my series S and had no intentions of really being engulfed in it. It was more or less a second system I bought on a deep discount just because. So far, my 2 favorite things about it are Gamepass of course, but quick resume is now a gaming must for me moving forward.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of The Fallout TV Show's First Season?
On the last episode now. I voted 9/10 since I've never played the games, its hard to tell how close it is to the source material.

Still haven't played it. At this point I'm just waiting for the inevitable GP drop.
Re: Talking Point: Will Hellblade 2 Be A Genuine Game Of The Year Contender This Year?
Seems like the production value is there. If the game and story and top notch I don't see why it wouldn't be nominated.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 6-7)
I beat Pepper Grinder last night, so I'm going to be focusing on Banjo Kazooie and Diablo 4. Maybe ill pick Color Splash up again.
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Xbox Store Page Goes Live

Re: Talking Point: 10 Years Later, Sunset Overdrive Still Remains A Beloved Xbox Exclusive
@ShadowofTwilight really? Kind of odd playstation never put it out then. That's too bad, I'd love a sequel on xbox.
@AverageGamer tell me about it. I did like miles morales personally. Haven't played the other 2 spiderman games yet.
Re: Talking Point: 10 Years Later, Sunset Overdrive Still Remains A Beloved Xbox Exclusive
How cool would it be if they made a sequel and announced it at the summer showcase.
Re: Deals: Xbox Spring Sale 2024 Now Live, 800+ Games Discounted
@Kloppo and I was hoping for a decent discount on RE4R but the same old $10 off.

I just went through it. Nothing much to write home about but I did grab GoW4 and Halo MCC.
Re: Talking Point: Do You Prefer Shorter Or Longer Games In General?
Anywhere from 10-15 hrs is my sweet spot. I have to be really invested to go over 25 honestly. 50+ has to be goty for me to continue on.

Re: Poll: What Are Your First Impressions Of Diablo 4 On Xbox Game Pass?

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 30-31)
For the most part, Spider-Man Miles Morales on PS4, and Diablo IV on xbox. Sparingly, I've been playing PM: Color Splash

@PJOReilly I still don't know how you crank out as many great and thorough reviews as you do. Put down the hastega kool-aid and see some daylight! 😉
Re: Review: Dragon's Dogma 2 (Xbox) - Capcom's Cult Classic Makes A Triumphant Return
@PJOReilly good to know. It's on the WL. Think I'm prioritizing D4 this month so once that's done I'll check out dragons dogma 2.
Re: Review: Dragon's Dogma 2 (Xbox) - Capcom's Cult Classic Makes A Triumphant Return
Wow. Now I'm inclined to buy this sooner rather than later. I liked the first one enough to be interested in this.
