You know this is getting out of hand when my non gamer wife said to me yesterday, "did you know xbox announced they're no longer making consoles?" It's all getting a little too wild out there with rumors. I can only imagine where she read that.
@jedinite wow. What a wierd coincidence lol. I loved robocop with the exception of the Ed boss fights . I'm about halfway done with sunset and only an hour or two into arkham which I actually played back on the ps3 years ago.
On switch, Batman Arkham Asylum. On xbox, i just beat Robocop Rogue City a couple days ago, so I've fully moved onto Sunset Overdrive which has proven to be chaotic and fun.
Well that kind of confirms it, no? Stinks if true. I kinda like when consoles have exclusives. Some here and there are fine, but big ones are probably better left on their own console. Oh well, we'll see what happens next week.
@Nighto4 dude they were all hard! Lol. Kiana the forest queen was voted the hardest in the game. Based on a poll with maybe IGN(?) I cant recall, 33% of people had to try more than 10 times to beat her. I was in that 33% 🤣
@Nighto4 second to last or second boss from the beginning? If it's the second to last, that one was tough for sure. I played on normal and even that was tough. I didn't change any damage settings, so I'm still pretty proud of myself lol 😆. I couldn't imagine playing on hard.
I just beat The Lost Crown last night on switch. So now, I'm going to really try and and hammer out Robocop Rogue City and once I'm done with that, fire up Arkham Asylum as I don't want to play too many games at once. For the gameclub I'm playing Sunset Overdrive With the family, I'm playing Illusion Island. We're loving this game. Such a fun little metroidvania.
@Markatron84 thats your opinion i suppose. There's quite a bit I'd like to say in response to your comment. However, seeing as though I genuinely love hanging out in this community, along with NL, it's probably best I don't get too into it.
@Markatron84 well, it's like that age old saying goes, "did you bring enough for the whole class?" In other words, if you do one, you have to do them all. You can't do something for specific groups and leave some out. I couldn't be bothered either way personally, just playing devils advocate here.
@Tasuki I've been meaning to tell you. It's great man. Some small glitches like mouths being connected on NPCs while they're talking, or visual glitches such as lighting flickering or npcs being stuck in the wall if you send them flying toward it. Nothing crazy or game breaking. Just silly little things. And it may just be because I have an S. Maybe it's better on the x. Game runs fine though.
As for the actual core gameplay. It's amazing. Busting baddies, finding evidence and drugs to collect, decision making with regards to crimes or personal feelings, writing tickets, shooting and punching your way through drug dens and hideouts. I love it man. I bought the Alex Murphy edition which I Don't think offers much but it was the first discount they had for the game so I got it. I can't recommend it enough. It's really a love letter.
I'll play for a handful of hours at least since it'll be on gamepass. I used to buy this game every year, but I don't have the time to commit to sports titles as much as I used to.
I really need to find some time for it. But I know I'll get 15-20hrs in and get side tracked. Just way too much going on right now. I had a hard enough time committing to sea of stars, P5T, and starfield, and those were all sizable games that took up time.
@Baler well I love them both just about equally. They're two totally different experiences imo. Botw is more tranquil and calming to me. Totk is the complete opposite where it's balls to the wall insane every step of the way, but I love both.
I don't see why N can't have both styles moving forward. Even if they rotate traditional 3d +2d zelda. Then do botw/totk style every decade. I think there's room for both in the future.
@Baler I'm just waiting for the inevitable switch or switch 2 port of TP. I already own it on Wii and Wii U. But the zelda dope that I am will buy it a 3rd time.
I'll eventually need to give this game a shot. I'm supposed to be playing like a dragon Gaiden, but I've been pretty enthralled with robocop. I'll jump in soon.
I finished Ghost Trick last night and I hate to say it, the first 25% was fun, then it just got old. The story was good, but I just couldn't engage anymore after 7-8 hrs. Some sections were down right frustrating unfortunately. Please hold your pitchforks 🫠.
Now, I'm finally able to fully focus on the gem they call Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown on switch.
@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.

@Romans12 it's such a gem of a game. I can't get enough of punching baddies and throwing myself across a room lol
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 27-28)
My main is The Lost Crown but im also playing Robocop Rogue City and Like a Dragon Gaiden
Re: Xbox Introduces New 'Indie Selects' Collection, Separate To Xbox Game Pass Lineup
Very nice. Hopefully the games on spotlight will have a discount or two thrown in.
Re: Review: Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth - RGG Studio Drops Its Best Game Yet

On xbox, another banger in Robocop Rogue City.
I'm already fully enthralled in both.
Re: Hellblade 2 Will Be A Digital-Only, Cheaper Release On Xbox And PC
Stinks for sure. But I'll play on GP anyway.

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.
