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...

@Fiendish-Beaver yes, my thoughts exactly...

@Dusk_Actual I hope you are right!

@Dusk_Actual still in Preview, sorry.

I'm enjoying much ANVIL: Vault Breakers (a twin stick shooter on Game Pass) but I arrived late to the party so the servers are dead.

Sooner or later I will buy this game.

@stefan771 True.

@somnambulance brilliant lol

I'm playing Monster Hunter Rise with a friend of mine, plus when I feel calm Murdered: Soul Suspect

I'm sorry.
I wish the best for everyone of them and their families.

@Gamingforlife you said a very wise sentence: I'm very happy for the time I'm living as a gamer.

Ashen and maybe Destiny 1

happy birthday Sir, you are a great man 🎂🎉🎊

Destiny 1 on my Series X with a bunch of Italians.

just 2 words: Quake Champions.

I was expecting these news, but during the showcase, not now.
