Do 1900 salaries count towards that? 🤔

That’s a classy move, I have nothing but respect for those looking to help others like this.

@Kaloudz I’m right there with you, just turned 39, so no worries. It’s more hardcore games than what you’d typically see at a box store. D&D is often associated with it. I have board games that have hundreds of hours worth of content so they’re like RPG board games. It’s a nice change to video games. Games like Gloomhaven and Madara, are good examples if you’re curious.

@Kaloudz no problem, I only learned the term because I’m into hobby board gaming and was getting very lost in forums when that term started popping up. I’m too old to learn new internet lingo. 😂

It’s hard to believe it’s been a year already! This was easily in my top five games of last year, I absolutely adored it and hope to see a sequel one day. 808 forever!

@K1LLEGAL I could be wrong but I believe I heard the rumor is they’re working on Ghostwire 2 right now.

@Kaloudz fear of missing out

Best wishes to everyone impacted by this, that is a massive hit.

Prince of Persia The Lost Crown on Xbox and still loving every second of Sea of Stars on Steam Deck

@BIG3 I couldn’t agree more! I enjoy a nice long game but I love having a tight, well produced experience that respects my time. 6-8 hours of a painstakingly crafted game will always beat out a 100 game full of bloat for me (not to say all 100 hour games are full of bloat).

This has been my most anticipated game since it was announced, the first was a masterpiece. It definitely looks like it was worth the wait. It releases on my anniversary as well, that day is just meant for wonderful things for me.

It sounds like it’s going to be the perfect length and respect my time, as well. I have GP, but this one will absolutely be a full priced purchase for me, Ninja Theory earns my money.

Please be true! This, Avowed, and FFVII Rebirth are my most anticipated games.

Hellblade and Avowed are all I need.

I’m in the middle of two other games but I loved the demo so I’ll certainly be picking this one up.

It’s phenomenal and one of the best deals in gaming. It’s up there with the Final Fantasy Collection.

Still playing through Sea of Stars and loving it. Also, some Mario Golf on the Switch with my family. I also squeezed in the phenomenal Prince of Persia The Lost Crown demo, it’s Ori good when it comes to platforming, which is the pinnacle of platforming, in my opinion.

I just started book one of Redwall with my son two nights ago, he’ll be excited for a game set in that world.

Hellblade and Avowed are amongst my top three anticipated games, FFVII Rebirth being the third, I’m dying for solid release dates for them.

I’ve played every mainline Far Cry since 3 and some spin offs, this has been my least favorite by far. It’s not a bad game, but it’s not a that good of a game either.

I’m cool with this regardless of what game it turns out to be, my one and only complaint if it’s Hi-Fi Rush is this is the first time I’ve felt Xbox has had a good character/ set of characters they could actually use as a mascot in a long time with Chai and 808.

Shadow dropping it was the perfect choice

I wasn’t a fan of 4 at all, but I loved 5.

@AlwaysPlaying sadly, I believe it’s multiplayer only.

@Marxally an underrated gem, in my opinion. Is it anything special? No. Is it an really entertaining time killer? Absolutely.

Quests have been pretty terrible for months now

@BleedingDreamer I’m blown away by how incredible this game is. I expected to enjoy it but it’s one of the most unique games I’ve ever played.

Can I vote for Hi-Fi Rush on all of them?

My top five from 1-5:

Alan Wake 2
Baldur’s Gate 3
Final Fantasy XVI
HI-Fi Rush
Hogwarts Legacy

Hi-Fi Rush is one of my top games this year, that alone warrants an A from me.

I bought the Adventure Time game for my son, nothing else tickled my fancy.

It has to be Bioshock for me. The blend of story, environment, and combat was some of the best I’d ever seen. To this day there are still few worlds that match Rapture. I still constantly think about that game. It’s easily in my all time top 5.

Good riddance! I hope the door hits him hard on his way out.Christmas came early!

@BIG3 I’d say it’s passable if you know nothing about Halo. There was some fun battles and whatnot, but the characters and story weren’t that good at all, even if I’m taking my Halo lover goggles off. You’re better off watching something like the Expanse if you want good sci-fi.

5 points: Alan Wake 2
4 points: Baldur’s Gate 3
3 points: Other: Final Fantasy XVI
2 points: Hi-Fi Rush
1 point: Hog Leg

Not surprising, considering how well it’s sold elsewhere it doesn’t makes sense to throw it on GP, they’re likely making a ton of money on Xbox.

@smoreon that’s what happened to me too

Just kill the rewards system entirely at this point, since that seems like what they’re going for.

My wife had the Super Bowl, I had E3. I’m sad to see it go, even if this is surprising news.

@BrilliantBill I couldn’t agree more

@Dan1283 5 was easily my least favorite Halo game. I hated that they completely undermined Cortana’s story in 4 (not that I loved 4 either). By the end of it, I was just happy it was done.

@Dan1283 I’m with you on this. It’s not my favorite Halo, but I do think it plays better than any other. I had a great time with it.

Harold Halibut looks so weird and unique, it’s definitely on my radar now.

Microsoft Points have been absurdly wonky lately and they got rid of a lot of things like being able to complete quests through streaming, so I’m not surprised they might be.

@Fiendish-Beaver I respect that. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve watch Bluey when no one else is home, even at times where my wife takes the kids somewhere for the weekend. I’m not ashamed of my love of Bluey!

I want this … for my kids, I mean. Yeah, that’s it, for my kids.

I beat Spider-Man 2 last night, so I’ll either be cleaning up side content or jumping into Immortals of Aveum.

This reminds me of a sci-fi Kena Bridge of Spirits, I’ll check it out.

There’s no contest here, 360 was the Golden Age of Xbox!

@Dan1283 Hi-Fi Rush was definitely my favorite Xbox game this year. Starfield is great but I had so much more fun with Hi-Fi.

Well deserved, BG3 is fantastic and easily my GotY.

How did FFXVI not win GotY for PlayStation?
