@HelloCraig great video! There’s a lot of good looking games on this list and the video was really amusing.

@The_Pixel_King in Pure Xbox’s defense, the person who got banned most certainly deserved it. They might have been joking but there’s some lines you don’t cross.

@Sam_TSM I haven’t played it but a couple of gaming podcasts I listen to said it’s a lot of fun

Oh how I miss the days of single player FPS

Lord Ruler, I hope so, but I doubt it’ll be this year.

Hi-Fi Rush is easily my favorite of their games, it’s such a unique, entertaining, and charming game.

The masterpiece that is Hi-Fi Rush with a side of Dead Space

The Pathless is a phenomenal game, still one of my favorite PS5 experiences.

Though Elden Ring is my Game of the Year, Shredder’s Revenge is a very close second, I’ve had such a blast playing through that solo and playing it with my son too. Prodeus and Vampire Survivors are two fantastic Indies that I’ve had a blast with too.

@BionicDodo that’s what I figured. It seems like the perfect fit for gaming while having something on tv or when the kids take over the tv.

I pray this comes to Switch soon, this game is so addictive, but it’s perfect for handheld.

I just started this earlier in the week and I’m absolutely loving it. I normally don’t like survival games, but I was so drawn to the theme, I’m glad I was!

You’ll have my attention when there’s campaign DLC/expansions.

It’s a gorgeous game and the atmosphere is perfect for me, but I just couldn’t get into it.

@Dusk_Actual it was fun, it was a decent story and good gameplay. I didn’t really care much for the characters and there were a few too many moments where it was the juvies or the Swarm leeches, but it’s fairly short playthrough. I don’t think it’s necessary to play, but it’s worth playing if you are looking to kill a few hours.
Also, I might be wrong on this, but it might allow you to install the DLC only like it let you do the campaign and/or multiplayer. I’m not positive though.

I just beat Gears 5 and the Hivebuster DLC. After watching Rings of Power, I’m thinking about jumping back into Shadow of War.

@Dusk_Actual I did too, I wasn’t the biggest fan of JD to begin with, then that revelation hit. I didn’t even hesitate when I had to make that decision.

@Dusk_Actual unless there’s more than one choice I had little difficult choosing, given past revelations in the game.

I’m chipping away at the final act of Gears 5

Incredible news!

One of my all time favorite RPGs, this game had more heart than just about any game I’ve ever played.

Until they either revamp their format of games entirely or give me Child of Light 2, I have no interest in Ubi.

It’s a fun game, but there’s much better out there. Though the combat is pretty janky and dull.

@GuyinPA75 I believe it’s supposed to be in it. I’m already dreading the bomb level.

Not a fan of this, but I’ll be getting it on Xbox anyways.

No contest here whatsoever, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2!

This is one of my most anticipated games, it gives me such Bioshock vibes. I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

This game looks like a playable fever dream, I’m so excited for it.

“Dungeons 4 coming in 2023, hopefully.” That might be the best way I’ve ever heard a trailer end.

This is such a tough one for me. The story of the original is incredible, but the gameplay of Infinite blows it away, and the Burial at Sea DLC is the best piece of DLC I’ve ever played. I voted for the original for the story, atmosphere and Rapture, but I was quite torn.

@BrilliantBill if there’s one thing I’ve always given him credit for and admired him for it was his ability to innovate. I’m 37 and have been gaming most of my life, to this day, I still can’t think of a boss battle that blew my mind more than Psychomantis. I struggle to think of a moment outside of X-Men on SEGA Genesis that had a moment where you had to rush to hit and hold the reset button or you got game over, that had such a unique in game mechanic.
I’ve just usually struggled with his stories and his balancing of weird and real world. It’s his style, so I respect that, I’m certainly not one to tell Kojima to do something different, I just don’t always feel that the weird characters and story moments he throws into his games always work, at least not for me. Don’t get me wrong, I do respect him and usually like his games, I’m just nit head over heels like most people seem to be. I’m more of a, “wait for reviews” kind of guy with him, rather than, “it’s Kojima, I’m getting it.”

I’ve never been the biggest Kojima fan, I like his games, but I never understood the obsession over him. With that said, after a long time of making fun of Death Stranding, I decided to give it a try and I loved it, it was truly a unique game. I’m more interested in his work now than I have been in the past, though I’m still not clamoring for his next game.

Sad to see it’s not fall/winter like originally speculated, but a delay is never a bad thing, disappointing sure, but not bad.

@Stoned_Patrol personally, I don’t get what all the hype is about with it. I never played the original so I bought it on Switch when it came out, I thought it was ok, but didn’t live up to everything I’ve seen about it. With that said, you certainly can’t go wrong with the price, even if you’re like me and don’t care for it at least you didn’t spend much on it.

I have a Series X and S and I love them both. S is insanely powerful for what it is, sure it’s not as powerful as the X or PS5, but I don’t regret buying it at all.

I don’t think any amount of delays will save this game

I didn’t need a developer to tell me that, I thought it was quite obvious from what they’ve shown.

Bastion, Shadow Complex, Castle Crashers and Monday Night Combat, for as much as I prefer playing solo, I loved that game.

I’ve jumped back into Final Fantasy XIV again, after a long hiatus.

I didn’t think it was possible for me to care less about this game, then I watched this video. I’ll stick with Sea of Thieves, thanks.

@NEStalgia interesting, you and I have completely opposite opinions on it. I felt the beginning was boring and very generic, but as powers unlocked and you started getting different abilities on your weapons it really opened up gameplay. I almost didn’t play it because the demo felt so generic, but I was really glad I did, I’ve had a great time soloing it.

Such a fantastic game

I just finished the first one last week and I was blown away. That game is a dark, haunting, beautiful masterpiece, with some of the best mocap and voice acting I’ve played since Hellblade. I can’t wait for the second game.

I beat A Plague Tale Innocence and then started up Prey. Im going through some backlog while there’s nothing exciting coming out.

The first one on Genesis was amazing. I remember renting it and not being able to get out of the first area at all, so I thought the game was terrible and hated it. I eventually revisited it when I was a bit older and figured out the puzzles behind it, which gave way to an incredible game.

Any credibility towards that being true is thrown out the window when I see “Kotaku.” I’d rate it between an A and a B, but even if it were just a C I’d argue there isn’t burnout yet. I’ve discovered so many new games I’d have never tried thanks to GP.

Now that I beat Elden Ring, I decided to go for a throw back, I’m currently playing Lost Odyssey. Although it feels like a product of its era, I’m really enjoying it so far.

I’m not surprised by this in the slightest.

I made it to the final fight of Elden Ring on Friday, went to go try it out, little did I know I wouldn’t be able to. It just kept telling me the person who purchased the game needed to sign in (SPOILER ALERT: That was me and I was signed in).I couldn’t access a single digital game on my Xbox. It was quite frustrating.

I bought this, Jedi Academy and Jedi Outcast today on Switch
