I was tempted to buy Borderlands 4 (long fan of gearbox and the series) but I think I'll wait til it's at least half price. Found a couple decent indie games I liked (CloverPit and Virgo versus the zodiac)
@FraserG still playing Balatro? Loved that gem last year, have they made any kind of notable updates? (Not like I completed a run with every single deck yet lol)
I've been loyal to Microsoft from always using Windows to getting on the xbox wagon when 360 came out, but you can see how they might be struggling to keep up not only in gaming but with OS, browsers, smartphones, etc. They seem to be trying to stay afloat on multiple fronts
I might actually agree based on the amount of time I played it. I'm sure there were other games people would choose for GOTY, but I'm 40 so the time I have for gaming isn't what it used to be but I found myself wanting to play Balatro for it's rogue premise, playing up to ten runs straight. I'm looking forward to the new Doom coming out and still waiting for Hades 2 xbox release.
I really enjoyed the original on PlayStation, but it was really TH3 I loved, one of my all time favorite PS2 games, which was the peak of my Sony console days
@Tasuki lol too true, and then there were different 'themes' for the Turtles as like athletes, rap stars, military attire, etc.. it definitley got a little whacky lol.
This was such a perfect remake that resembled the TMNT games we loved on NES/SNES. I used to buy the action figures from the late 80's/early 90's and it's always cool seeing them add random characters from the large array the toy line had. I know for a fact there was this weird chef character with a butcher knife and a peg leg that had a pizza box for a foot. ah memories
This was my favorite RPG when it was on PlayStation back in the day. I still remember the hardcover instruction manual, and the map that came with the game (unfortunately I sold it on eBay years ago) just a really memorable game as I'd gotten it for xmas back in 1999/2000. If I were to attempt to replay any RPG from the past, Lunar would be my first pick.
The two previous Dooms were awesome.. gameplay had that perfect balance of fast, fun and engaging FPS campaign action that wasn't too grinding or complex.. definitely looking forward to this one
Definitely the first two Black Ops for me...They've never really revived them like they did with MW, maybe because it was Treyarch and not Infinity .. The more recent Black Ops titles seemed to come out during that no mans land between the 360 to One console transistion..at least for me.. I'd love to play those BLOP maps again.. Kowloon was one of my favs for some reason.
It's definitely worth a try if on game pass.. I bought it at full price last year and thought it was OK, but just didn't get into it as much as I thought I would.. It was really good for about 20 hours or so but I never even finished the main quest.. Wouldn't rule out getting back into it at some point though
@FraserG and Craig...Hades was an amazing game, truly had me hooked with it's run-throughs after each death.. hope they make some sort of sequel or add on
