I thought it was trash. I played it for probably three hours. Quit, uninstalled and started playing Skyrim again. I give Avowed a 5. Typical Game Pass game. Now, I'm sure they have had major updates since release and made improvements just in time for the PS5 release in a few weeks.
I did play it for a few hours when it came out, and then just stopped. I think I remember not liking the controls. I don't believe there was any up or down movement. Am I remembering that correctly? Not sure.
Does anyone really care? The Xbox brand is irrelevant. I mean, Forza, Fable, Gears and Halo - all new games coming out on the PS5 on day one. Kinda pathetic for Microsoft. I don't care how much money they are making. Customer loyalty should count for something. So no, no one cares about the next Xbox. It's irrelevant.
Been in development for at least five years. Probably needs another five. If it's only on Game Pass on day one, it will be broken. If it's on the PS5 on day one, it will be a GOTY contender.
Microsoft has slipped on one too many banana peels for me to invest in another console. I use my Series X for old games and to watch 4k movies. My PS5 Pro is the console that gets my money. And going forward, I will invest in the PS6. I'll pay whatever they decide to charge.
@Jenkinss Definitely agree with that one. Nothing was bigger than Halo 2 at the time. But, why bother showing this footage unless it's available to us gamers? Damn.
I don't buy games for my Series X anymore. Microsoft has made too many stupid decisions. Because of that, they get punished by me voting with my wallet. I do play old games and watch movies on my Series X though. As far as new games that I want, I buy physical copies only for my PS5 Pro.
Final Fantasy is definitely not for me, but I understand how big it is for the Series X. Also, Sarah Bond is very easy on the eyes. So, there's that. lol.
I know I already commented on this, but I get so mad when I think of the B.S. that Activision spews out that makes it seem they did all they can to make the best possible game they could. Stop with the political statements already. The game is trash and they need to disappear for a couple of years and regroup.
I could have sworn I read something stating this game was cancelled. Oh well, I watched the above video and this game looks bad. Sorry, but this game is going to be crap. Zero interest.
Microsoft knows that, by sending random gamers $10.00 gift cards, they will redeem it by purchasing something that costs way more than $10.00 that they would not have purchased otherwise. It's like me getting a random Kohl's coupon in the mail giving me $10.00 off my next purchase. lol.
Already on sale? lol. Trash game. They can't give this trash away. Tried the campaign for an hour. Quit, uninstall and never looking back. If Microsoft payed me $70, I still wouldn't play it.
Why would I? It won't look any different than the Gears of War update in my opinion. I can never tell the difference. And I never really was into the RDR games. I tried both, but not for me.
I played the crap out of this since launching last year on the PS5. Highly recommend this one to anyone who hasn't played it. Probably one of the best games (remakes) ever made.
My birthday is November 22nd. Pre-ordered the 360 and got it on day one, on my 30th birthday. Gamestop told me if it didn't work, they had a few backups just in case. Mine red ringed immediately and went back the next day to exchange it for another one. They said they didn't have any. They sold the three that they were supposed to hold on to. Had to get a full refund and purchase one on ebay for $600, which was less than I thought it would be.
Dark Ages is a horrible game. Played it for about an hour and thought I was playing Painkiller from 2005. Horrible pacing and tons of unlockable abilities that I would never remember how to execute when under pressure. Reminded me of God of War. Jack of all trades, master of none gameplay mentality.
I remember Microsoft had a commercial and it showed Bioshock, Mass Effect and Halo 3. Only available at the time on the 360. I knew Microsoft was the number one console when I saw that commercial.
Worst and only COD campaign that I will not finish. I tried to play it and there are too many reasons to list why I hate the game. I would be here all day. Microsoft has found another franchise to absolutely decimate. Honestly, they are the red headed step-child. Just go away quietly and we will all be fine with our memories.
Hardware is absolutely core to Xbox. But guess what? Sarah Bond and Phil Spencer are not. Note to Sarah - stop talking already. The Xbox division is so effed up there is no coming back from it. Bye.

Re: Star Wars: Fate Of The Old Republic Sounds Incredible, And It's Likely Coming To Xbox
I thought the next Star Wars game was exclusive to the PS5? Well, awesome if it's on the Series X as well.
Re: Xbox Announces New Fallout Pip-Boy Controllers, And They're Available To Buy Now
Bethesda - "Why make games or remaster them when we can make controllers and an anniversary edition of Fallout New Vegas for $154.99."
Re: Xbox & Activision Issue Statement On The Future Of Call Of Duty Following Black Ops 7 Backlash
I sometimes think they purposely made a bad game because they are owned by Microsoft.
Re: Xbox Exec Teases 'Exciting' Plans For 2026 When Asked About OG Xbox Titles & Game Pass
Xbox, the next year console. They should call the console Nextbox.

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think Of Silent Hill 2 On Xbox So Far?
I played it when it launched on the PS5. I liked it so much that I might buy it for my Series X. Especially if it's half price.
Re: It's Official! The Xbox 360 Is 20 Years Old Today
@smoreon Thank you.
Re: Black Ops 7 Season 01 Arrives Next Week, And It'll 'Significantly Improve' Progression
They should significantly improve how to access the campaign. Like, take it out of the multiplayer lobby. Pathetic.
Re: Bethesda Wants To Do More Shadow Drops Following Hi-Fi RUSH & Oblivion Remastered
Fallout 3 remaster. Kick rocks Todd. At some point, you actually have to start releasing new games.
