@Ks1986 I'm fine with this.

I bought the first one on Xbox and Steam, and claimed it too on PS with plus. Not going to buy it a third time just for some extra weapons.

@BrandNewOldSchool they released a demo in one of those Xbox demo events. It was awful, a not even passable Resident Evil clone.

But hey, at least I tried it for free and had a laugh with my brother.

I would love for the persona games to be added to the list.

@themightyant I don't think that's what they are doing. They probably are just building the game with last gen as a target and then they scale it up for current gen as far as the last gen consoles support it.

I don't mind keeping the game in last gen, I don't play it that often. But I do think they are robbing the devs opportunities to try something else, and once again, that's making the series stagnant.

@xxk7xx Team Ninja removed most of the things that weren't well recieved about Sigma, like the extra bosses and restrictive weapon upgrades.

But this is still based on Sigma, they restored the gore in this version, but that was restored dating back to the Sigma 2 PS Vita version.

I visit Push Square a lot too, I don't really have a horse in in console war race, so I play on every machine.

Said that. Man, Push Square reviews have some of the worst takes I've seen published. Last week's review of Mechwarrior 5 Clans was awful.

That game is not perfect, but they missed the point of it completely. This game getting this amount of praise and seeing their review just exemplifies the issues with their reviews a lot more.

@InterceptorAlpha I would like gyro support too, but I don't think we will be seeing it on this gen, it's too late and Xbox doesn't have a lot of steam right now.

Hopefully on the next one.

Not gonna lie, most of their games aren't very good. They do have some interesting ideas but most of the time they fall flat, The Blair Witch being the best example of this. I think the only games I genuinely enjoyed were The Medium and Observer.

This is why I wasn't excited on them working on the SH2 remake but seeing the positive reception of it and how this game looks, I really hope they turn it around exploit the good ideas they have.

@Bionic-Spencer Master Chief has already appeared on Fortnite and is available in all platforms.

Same for Kratos, but funny enough, I haven't seen Kratos available in the store for a while, while Master Chief does shows up every now and then.

@Lrapsody same for me, last year I finally finished AC Odyssey with all its DLC, so I bought Valhalla deeply discounted and I'm nowhere close to be done with it, I just get distracted by other games and stop playing it for months.

So yeah, maybe by end of 2025 I'll be done with Valhalla and will get around buying Mirage.

@Banjo- I've had my Elite Series 2 for three years now, and the left bumper started to fail. I just opened up the thing, cleaned the button contacts with isopropyl alcohol and it started working like new again.

It took me like 15 min tops.

This is why Mortal Kombat 1 has the worst customization options and in-game store of all MKs. The game is solid enough, and I like it more than MK 11, but the presentation and management are terrible.

Mine only has one item that I tried to add while it was gone. Guess I’m screwed now.

My brother's friend got a 21-day suspension for uploading a clip from the character selection where they showed some lizussy.

@Darude84 Callisto Protocol is about to get its ass handed over again by Dead Space.

Joking aside, I'm playing through Callisto Protocol right now thanks to PS+ and I'm enjoying it a lot, but I'm still convinced that it wasn't worth $70, glad I waited.

@BAMozzy I hadn't thought this way. Already preordered the "new" COD for access to the open beta (yeah I'm a sucker for COD and the old maps), should have waited for that cash to land in Microsoft's pockets instead of Bobby Kotick's.

They already charged my card, but I think that money actually goes a few days before?

This has been an issue since forever, I'm glad they are fixing it but damn, I can't believe it took them this long to do it.

@GuyinPA75 c'mon, it's a minor bug fix update, at least on the Xbox's side. The last time I played it was when I got it on sale a few months after launch. Now I've been playing it all week and have not had any issues whatsoever.

If the games have the quality of the latest Capcom bangers, I don't mind it. I honestly found it surprising that RE4 was $60 while other plain bad and/or broken games were $70.

Damn! This looks so cool. I like the approach they were going for, kinda like Ocarina of Time 3D.

@Ocat I didn't mind 30 FPS in games. But after getting an OLED TV it's been pretty rough. They have faster response times so the frames are generated and displayed much quicker, which translates to each frame having more screen time and causing stuttering. That makes for a pretty poor experience on 30 FPS games, especially first-person shooters.

I seriously can't play Starfield for a long time cause the stuttering makes me nauseous, which had never happened to me before and I've been playing games for almost 30 years! I have like 10 hours at most and have been playing since early access, so a 40 FPS mode would be a very welcome addition so I could play and enjoy the game.

@BrilliantBill yeah! It's pretty good. But if you want to play online with a friend, it doesn't work anything alike the Dark Pictures games. Basically, only the host plays and the rest just vote on the decisions.

But playing locally is a great time.

Not really, I have a PS5 and most of the time is more annoying than useful. I'm talking about the triggers, the HD rumble is fine I guess.

But the Xbox controller does need better shoulder buttons, both PS5 and Switch Pro controllers have more reliable shoulder buttons. Gyroscope too, it's 2023, Sony and Nintendo have had them on their controllers since 2006, it's not something new and has proven to be a reliable function to aim in shooters, having it on Xbox would make developers use it more on their games.

I remember the first Xbox One controller having something akin to a gyroscope with the IR sensors of the Kinect, but that thing was dead a year later and never had a replacement.

Nice! I was this close to buying the enhanced edition on PS5 even though I already have the XBO version. It's on sale right now and I was waiting for the weekend to buy and play it.

I'm fine with these games, Darkwood has been on my wishlist forever. Probably I'm in the minority here preferring indies 'cause the big games I get them when they come out (no new games for me next month on Plus), so it's nice to discover games that otherwise would have flown under my radar, The Vale is one of them and was the first GWG I've enjoyed in a while.

But not every month the indies are even good or hidden gems. So I share the sentiment of it being an after-thought or not on par in quality with PS Plus.

@Dm9982 keeping GWG after your sub lapses was only for 360 titles. And those are not offered anymore so they are equal in that regard (PS Plus essential).

Holy *****! I didn't think we would see them on Xbox. I've already played them all on the 3DS but this news makes me want to buy the original trilogy and double dip on my Xbox the whole series.

I'm a big fan of Ace Attorney, I have even played the fan-translated versions of the Edgeworth games, hopefully Capcom brings those officially to the west too.

@themightyant with my current schedule I probably wouldn't even get out of the tutorial/starting area.

I actually had Adios on my wishlist. I played a bit of it on PC but I can't really get into PC gaming for games that aren't simulators.

@Banjo- that was a long time ago, it's not even listed anymore, and I got it for free =)
I only have to change regions in the console settings to make it work.

@Banjo- I got FEAR 3 for free in my marketplace (Mexico) but it only works in the US too 😅

EA Play for sure, while I don't play sports titles anymore, it's nice to have the latest roster update for when I have someone over that likes to play those games. Besides, the Hazelight stuff is miles better than any Ubisoft game and those go on sale almost every week, at this point, I own everything I want to play from Ubisoft sans AC Valhalla, and that is because I haven't finished Odyssey.

Nice! I love rally events. My hometown is Guanajuato, Mexico the same city featured in the game, Guanajuato has been for quite a while a stage in the WRC so rally culture is kinda big there.

The only game for which I would be remotely interested in this it's not there. If Just Dance was included and the price was reasonable, I would gladly subscribe because I already spend on that game yearly.

So yeah, hard pass.

Man! At least they should have made the campaigns free to play for a little while. What's the point of making them inaccessible?

@BRT15 Yeah! I haven't been playing a lot on Xbox lately and I don't have a single "Just for you" deal. I've been catching up on my backlog from other platforms. But my brother has been playing Far Cry 6 and RS Siege lately and he has some deals from those games only.

@themightyant I for one welcome them. I mean, special prices on things I already want it's good on my book.

Every company already does it with the ads we see on the web. If I'm going to be targeted at least be it with stuff I would buy.

Ohh man, I don't even have a single "for you" deal. I mean, I own most of Ubisoft's titles, except for Starlink, the party ones, WD Legion and Valhalla.

I wanted that Valhalla deal. My brother does have a couple of deals, but only on stuff that we already own =(

@UltimateOtaku91 that's the fog the game used to hide the low-res textures on the far side of the map, many games did this. The Switch it's just displaying it as it was on the N64.

I think it's fine, I wouldn't play Zelda OoT without the fog and that was added back to the N64 Online version when people pointed it out.

@The_Pixel_King Xbox's own wireless headphones are great for their price range, way better than the PS5's Pulse, I own both. The closest PS5 headphones to the Xbox ones are the INZONEs which are woefully overpriced, this is coming from someone who loves Sony's headphones (and that's why I thought the Pulse and INZONE would be better).

The only downside I see with the Xbox Wireless Headphones is that you can only connect them wirelessly, unlike the Pulse which can be used with a cable.

@BBB can I play it being really early in the game? I bought this a year ago and dropped it because I got bored and I've been postponing it ever since, but I do want to do that mission.

@BAMozzy Agents of Mayhem would have been a lot better if it had co-op.

@J_Mo_Money yeah, afaik they only remove them when the games are listed as free, I remember that happening with Fallout 4 I believe, and I experienced it with FEAR 3 which was free on my country's marketplace but the next day after it was gone from my games and apps.

I bought this game a year ago and thankfully was able to refund it, I'll try it again when it hits but I'm not really sure they fixed everything that was wrong with the game.

I would like to play this but I'm not supporting Square Enix anymore, not even on PS. The only thing that I would buy from them is another game by DONTNOD.

I bought this game since mid 2021 and I've been postponing playing it because they always announce some other feature. Now I'll wait until the police and vehicle combat rework.

Mechassault on the original Xbox, before that I had a NES and a PSX. For NES they were tough as ***** and had only a handful of games, for PSX Crash games had some hard levels at the end so I didn't beat them either, I had some others but don't remember seeing the credits roll in a game other than winning eleven, and I almost beat Ape Escape but my younger brother scratched the disk and it always crashed at the beginning of the last boss fight.

So yeah, the first game I remember playing until the credits rolled down was the first Mechassault.

Edit: Another barrier that hampered my advance in games was the language, I'm not a native English speaker, but by the time the original Xbox was released, I understood it a little bit more so I was able to make progress on the games. Now I don't like to play them in Spanish because the menus, translations, and dubs are awful most of the time.

I enjoyed what I played of Prodeus on PC, now my brother can play it too because he doesn't game at all on PC.

Speaking of Humble games, I would love to see Getting Over It on console, but ohh boy I think the controls would suck for this game.

Damn, that's a lot of games to add to my wishlist. Even though I completed them already, I want to have them in my library.

@Richnj exactly! The main screen is useless, you can't do anything unless you pin it to the dashboard, and even then the guide is way better at doing practically everything.

Barring that, I actually like the rest of the UX, the guide, games and apps, settings, etc. IMO it's way better than the other consoles I've used. I still haven't got a PS5 so I don't include it in my comparison, but from the usual comments and seeing the PS4 UX, I doubt it is any better.
