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.
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’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.
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.
@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.
@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.
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!
Three separate times for me. I kind of wish they released a RRoD shirt in the new 360 line of shirts they released. Embrace the mistake and make a joke out of it, I’d buy it.
He’s going to have one hell of a payout but good riddance you pos. As Ironman30 said, let the door hit you in the ass on the way out … preferably quite hard.
Hi-Fi Rush is easily within my top games of this year so far. It’s only behind Baldur’s Gate 3 and Final Fantasy XVI. It was just a solid, fun, beautiful game, it didn’t over stay it’s welcome at all. It might not be my favorite game of the year but it’s the most straight up fun I’ve had with one.

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.
Re: Talking Point: 10 Years Later, What Do You Think Of 'The Master Chief Collection' In 2024?
It’s phenomenal and one of the best deals in gaming. It’s up there with the Final Fantasy Collection.

I just started book one of Redwall with my son two nights ago, he’ll be excited for a game set in that world.
Re: Xbox Announces New 'Developer Direct' Event For Next Week
Hellblade and Avowed are amongst my top three anticipated games, FFVII Rebirth being the third, I’m dying for solid release dates for them.
Re: Poll: How Are You Getting On With Far Cry 6 On Xbox Game Pass?
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.
Re: Rumour: Xbox Releasing Acclaimed First-Party Title On 'Competitor System' In 2024
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.
Re: Hi-Fi RUSH Dev Reveals Xbox Was Supposed To Announce The Game Years Ago
Shadow dropping it was the perfect choice
Re: Talking Point: Has Xbox Done A Good Job With Gears Of War So Far?
I wasn’t a fan of 4 at all, but I loved 5.
Re: Hell Let Loose Is A Challenging, Immersive FPS Joining Xbox Game Pass This Week
@AlwaysPlaying sadly, I believe it’s multiplayer only.
Re: Xbox Unveils Another Major Two-Week Sale, 300+ Games Included
@Marxally an underrated gem, in my opinion. Is it anything special? No. Is it an really entertaining time killer? Absolutely.
Re: Xbox Has Changed Game Pass Quests For 2024, And Fans Aren't Happy
Quests have been pretty terrible for months now
Re: Feature: Pure Xbox's Game Of The Year 2023
@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.
Re: Poll: What Were The Best Xbox Game Pass Additions In 2023?
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
Re: In The End, Are You Happy With Xbox's First-Party Lineup For 2023?
Hi-Fi Rush is one of my top games this year, that alone warrants an A from me.
Re: Talking Point: What Have You Bought In The Xbox Countdown Sale 2023?
I bought the Adventure Time game for my son, nothing else tickled my fancy.
Re: Talking Point: What Was The Greatest Xbox 360 Game Of All Time?
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.
Re: Xbox Makes Leadership Changes As Bobby Kotick Leaves Activision & Microsoft
Good riddance! I hope the door hits him hard on his way out.Christmas came early!
Re: Halo TV Show's Season 2 Poster Has Already Been Photoshopped
@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.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Dev Says Its New-To-Xbox RPG 'Isn't Going To Be On Game Pass'
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.
Re: Microsoft Rewards 15-Minute Cooldown Is Extending To More Users
@smoreon that’s what happened to me too
Re: Microsoft Rewards 15-Minute Cooldown Is Extending To More Users
Just kill the rewards system entirely at this point, since that seems like what they’re going for.
Re: E3 Is Officially Dead, ESA Confirms In New Statement
My wife had the Super Bowl, I had E3. I’m sad to see it go, even if this is surprising news.
Re: 343 Has 'Nothing In Active Development' For Halo Infinite Single-Player
@BrilliantBill I couldn’t agree more
Re: 343 Has 'Nothing In Active Development' For Halo Infinite Single-Player
@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.
Re: 343 Has 'Nothing In Active Development' For Halo Infinite Single-Player
@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.
Re: Three Of 2024's Xbox Game Pass Titles Just Received Brand-New Trailers
Harold Halibut looks so weird and unique, it’s definitely on my radar now.
Re: Xbox Might Be Losing Its Microsoft Rewards App (And Weekly Streaks)
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.
Re: Need More 'Bluey' In Your Life? Xbox Reveals Custom Series X Console
@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!
Re: Need More 'Bluey' In Your Life? Xbox Reveals Custom Series X Console
I want this … for my kids, I mean. Yeah, that’s it, for my kids.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 11-12)
I beat Spider-Man 2 last night, so I’ll either be cleaning up side content or jumping into Immortals of Aveum.
Re: Robots At Midnight Announced Exclusively For Xbox Series X|S Consoles
This reminds me of a sci-fi Kena Bridge of Spirits, I’ll check it out.
Re: Poll: Which Has Been The Best Generation Of Xbox So Far?
There’s no contest here, 360 was the Golden Age of Xbox!
Re: Starfield Wins Xbox GOTY At Golden Joystick Awards 2023
@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.
Re: Starfield Wins Xbox GOTY At Golden Joystick Awards 2023
Well deserved, BG3 is fantastic and easily my GotY.
How did FFXVI not win GotY for PlayStation?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 4-5)
Mario Wonder possibly, but definitely Spider-Man 2.
Re: Talking Point: Which Xbox Game Would You Love To Play Again For The First Time?
Advent Rising, I seem to be the only person that loved that game, but I truly adored it. I wish someone would pick
It up to make a sequel for it.
Re: Video: Senua's Insane 'Level Of Realism' Detailed In New Hellblade II Dev Diary
I don’t want to hear anything else about this game other than a release date.
Re: Talking Point: Did Your Xbox 360 Ever Get The 'Red Ring Of Death'?
Three separate times for me. I kind of wish they released a RRoD shirt in the new 360 line of shirts they released. Embrace the mistake and make a joke out of it, I’d buy it.

Re: Phil Spencer Visits Hi-Fi RUSH Xbox Studio Tango Gameworks
Hi-Fi Rush is easily within my top games of this year so far. It’s only behind Baldur’s Gate 3 and Final Fantasy XVI. It was just a solid, fun, beautiful game, it didn’t over stay it’s welcome at all. It might not be my favorite game of the year but it’s the most straight up fun I’ve had with one.
Re: Capcom Would 'Gracefully Decline' Any Acquisition Attempt From Xbox

Re: Soapbox: After Redfall's Reception, I Really Hope The Dishonored 3 Leak Is Real
@Jonnybekeww I’m with everyone else on this one. I can go back and play any of those games right now, I’d much rather see what they’ll do with D3.
