i actually agree with him 100%. Subscription services are nice supplementary things to have but a) i want to own my games and b) i want games made like they're meant to be owned
I like to own my games. I still buy mostly physical. I like having what I want on a shelf and deciding when I want to play it, even if it’s a year or 2 from now. Or deciding I want to replay a game years later
@Ravio18 welcome to the Xbox fam. Honestly you’ll be good to go with gamepass as all the big exclusives are on there, at least first party. The nice thing about Xbox is the backwards compatibility too so maybe browse Xbox and 360 titles too
Divinity 2 . Planned on starting baldurs gate but I like the thought of playing as an undead, plus I prob not a bad idea to player older game first. Also playing crusader kings 3 which has started to be something of a Christmas tradition for me. This year vive la France!
Man I went to vote but I have armored core sitting upstairs, boulders gate sitting on ps5 plus others I haven’t even gotten to yet. From what I finished this year I prob did like starfield the most, flaws and all
i finished it but definitely didn't understand what all the hype was about. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. Guess i felt the same about the first one too tho
I really think once they start pumping out exclusives regularly it’s going to turn around, when multiple games start piling up that people want to play, and can only play, on Xbox they are going to see a higher adoption rate. It’s that simple
Hopefully it starts to pick up. Can’t have these long droughts with no games like they did in ‘22. I think they have a much better console in series x. Still paying for that disastrous Xbox one reveal too, right as they’d gained so much ground during 360 era
I just bought a few games: divinity 1 and 2, control, the witcher 3 complete, the new ghouls and ghosts, duke nukem (hiliarious) and debating picking up sekiro
I dunno i'm playing Alan Wake 2. Last night Saga called someone a "white-*****" and then i spent 20 minutes doing an interactive segment detailing what a boss chick she is. Ranks up there with the worst for me
I’m playing Alan wake 2. Bought some Black Friday deals played around w duke nukem a but today had me laughing out loud. Back when it was alright to make a game specifically geared toward men
I think as of right now SF is probably my fame of year. I just started Alan Wake 2 last night. I have Baldur's gate 3 on PS for when i get back from Europe at end of this month
Finishing up dead space. I got the mummy demastered on sale, started that and enjoying it. Downloaded a few things off gamepass to try out: cassette beasts, lies of p, frog detective
should've stuck to making Halo games with xbox, kept their relevance. Also...the start ocean R adverts on pure xbox wish it was out on my console of choice
