well, at least it made me laugh! 😂

@Isolte
well with Doom 3, in my opinion, they explored the Horror (and Fear), and indeed it was a great achievement in terms of atmosphere and aesthetic.

but usually Doom is more about the violence and gore.

I don't know if it will be the best modern Doom, but it surely impressed me much while watching on the Direct.

@Kaloudz
you are welcome.
have fun and a great Sunday ☀️

@Kaloudz
hello.
In my modest opinion Lego City Undercover is one of the best (if not the best) Lego games.
I finished it a long time ago on the Switch.
it's an open world game, and feel an play different from the other Lego games.
I'm pretty confident you will enjoy it.

@Arcticpandapopz

I loved Exoprimal indeed and bought on Steam too. I'm sorry, as you said, it has not received more attention.

happy new year to everyone 🎊

first I'm looking forward to play a bit of my huge catalog of games 😅
then I really hope to finish IMMORTALS Fenyx Rising with my little nephew.

on Steam I'm playing Gears Tactics that I found really really good.

have a good day you all ☀️

happy holidays to all PureXbox staff and readers
💙⭐️💙

we are entering an interesting year, I suspect...

thanks very useful!

hello 🙂
this summer I gifted my nephew a Series X so often I go to his house with my Rog Ally Extreme and we play together, in particular Super Animal Royale.

plus I bought him Immortals: Fenyx Rising and I'm helping him in his playthrough.

I wish you all a wonderful weekend full of peace and games ⭐️⭐️⭐️

when I gifted a Series X to my nephew 🙂⭐️

First and most important I want to thank all the PureXbox writers for the egregious work they did.
I read your articles every day and I will continue to do so.

as for the nostalgia the only thing I'm going to say it is that I'm 47yo so... I know pretty well the feeling

in my opinion the Xbox Series X delivered in every level.
yes some publishers weren't on board (especially Japanese ones) but we have a long story to discuss here and personally I don't think it is a Xbox Management fault.

but...
we are seeing a change of strategy so I'm not sure what is going to happen.

hello 🙂
I'm playing a bit of Halo Infinite MP (PvE - Firefight) on Steam with a controller.
I like the game even if I prefer Quake Champions but it doesn't support a controller, so...
have a great weekend everyone ⭐️

I voted for Anthem, because I think it deserves a bit of appreciation.
I was playing it several weeks ago and enjoying it much... however still getting disconnections and server errors.
of course it is not the best BioWare game, anyway I wished a redemption story for it.

@JaffeGaffe ah! I didn't know all of this, thanks!

I remember unlocking all the achievements on the 360 version of the game with my old account.
it's a thing a rarely do but I had so much fun with this game.

@RiverGenie thank you very much for your explanation 🙂

I want to try it at some point, however I admit the first one is a bit too much for my taste: I admire all the dedicated players, some of which are friends of mine too, yet I'm unable to reach that level of commitment.

a glimpse on a new hardware?

@AverageGamer probably you are right. I was only sharing some, possibly, consideration about the names.

I think we don't have a Xbox 1, 2, 3... and so fort, because the Playstation brand started before, so for a consumer and business perspective is tricky to compare, let's say, a Xbox 4 with a Playstation 5 even if they are the same generation console.
the "5" number will shine making it looks better.

therefore the Xbox names...

I'm totally fine with their Series brand and I understand the difference between X and S but don't take it for granted: most adult parents are still a bit confused.

I wonder what will the use for the next generation.

I confess my introduction to online gaming was with the Dreamcast (Quake 3, PSO) and then with the GameCube (PSO 1&2) however the Live service of the Xbox 360 marked a new era for me.

it was amazing: like spending time with friends in a pub, chatting, joking while playing online.

so many fond memories: thanks MicroSoft.

I'm unable to enjoy Lego games. I'm very sorry and I don't exactly why. I wish you all have fun with them.

I like it to be honest.

well, I hope this is in Third Person: I would prefer it.

Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League : I expected garbage due to the reviews and all negativity surrounding this game instead I'm having a blast! Love it so far. But I understand it is difficult to control and understand, maybe even counter-intuitive.

@AceRimmer I'm glad you appreciate it 🙂

I always recommend Mad Max: still a gem of a game, in my opinion.

I hope everyone will enjoy this game, but... I'm not interested at all.

@BAMozzy yes, thank you: I understand your points.

@OldGamer999 I'm glad you found it useful 🙂

@OldGamer999 there is a long article on Eurogamer about the reasons of this situation:

https://www.eurogamer.net/what-is-going-on-with-the-video-games-industry

this generation of consoles is simply not power enough for 4k/60fps/RT... next maybe.

mmm... I don't know at this point.
I strongly believed in Series X.

I didn't read all the comments, but a dissatisfaction upon Xbox consoles seems clear.
I have no idea what xbox future brings but when you know that all your "exclusive" games are going day-one on pc and then on the competitor hardwares, well... the conclusion is clear.
maybe at this point MS could go full publisher.
it could be better.

I went all digital since Xbox360 era, so storage has been an issue since day one for me on this generation.
keep in mind: it's the same on Steam and PS5.

depends: shall we take a stance against these practices, or not?
I didn't buy the game yet, but I have plenty of Capcom games.
I don't want to judge who is pro, against or Capcom itself, but there is something annoying and greedy about this kind of monetization that impact the perception of the game.

I own it on Steam: great game, very fun to play; I recommend it.

Series Z incoming 🙂

@HonestHick thank you! we do agree 🙂

hello.
I have a little story to tell.
I bought Diablo IV three times: first on xbox, then on BattleNet (PC Blizzard) to play on my gaming laptop and finally as a surprise on Steam, for playing it on my Steam Deck.
so I know and love the game.

BUT...

do I like it is an always online game service (GAAS)?
no, absolutely: I dislike it very much.
Plus: EndGame content! I'm not arguing the seasons (that are cool I admit) neither the mechanics; instead the drop rate. do you think it is funny to have a 0.5-1% drop rate for important gears and stuff?
no it isn't and you get angry and give up.
maybe without coming back.
I know what is the mentality behind this decision, but it's just not fun, only frustrating.

said that: enjoy the game, it's a blast and, in my opinion, with the best assets and gameplay of the genre.

I own the game and unfortunately I abandoned it without finishing.
I had problems on understanding the map and I found the whole experience a bit convulsed.
I remember being a bit frustrated.
Said that I genuinely think the game is great and I consider my outcome depending of my faults.

Thanks for the heads up: I will check it out 🙂

Unfortunately I'm a sensitive and impressionable person, so I have problems with horror games.
For example I was unable to finish RE7.

I have the all 3 consoles, but I prefer playing with my Series X because I like the interface and gamepad plus on my tv xbox games look better.

EDIT:
I forgot: the Series X is quieter than the PS5 Slim Digital

I remember when it came out for PC back in the days...

my connection isn't good enough for cloud gaming.
so end of the story for me.

@RBRTMNZ Thank you.

Sorry, I don't get this AAA, AA gaming division: let's talk about Big Budget games, Middle Budget games and Low Budget games; for me is more understandable and close to reality.
That's only my opinion by the way.

Diablo IV again, again and again...
