I got 100% achievements on Elden Ring, but it took a few years off my life. lol. I don't think I'll ever go back to something like that again. I'm having fun one shotting everything in Oblivion.
Indy is great. Oblivion would be great if it didn't have so many technical issues. Doom Dark Ages is just not good. It seems like an arcade game. Also, the graphics are not that good.
Loved this game back in the day. I just finished the most recent one. It was real good. Definitely will be playing this one. But I'm a bit confused. It states "A full remake this year with Syberia remastered." So which is it? A remake or a remaster? Big difference.
"Normal difficulty feels a tad easier than expected." That's exactly what I was hoping for. Crazy how on Metacritic, the game has the most reviews on the PS5 and significantly less on the Series X, even though Microsoft owns the game. Pathetic.
My best guess, Halo 7 is exclusive to the Series X for one week, and then goes to PS5 with graphical enhancements. Seriously though, why is this even an article? How is this for an idea - which PS game is going to be coming to the Xbox?
Gears on PS5? Is this a joke? Are we getting God of War? Well, someone once told me to vote with my wallet. I think I'm pretty much done with Microsoft. I just don't like their business model for the Xbox. I understand that everyone has their right to their opinion, and so do I.
Wasn't crazy about where the franchise went from 2016 forward. I liked Doom 3 - great story and more survival horror. The newer games are just insane and I found Eternal to be much harder than it should have been. Hopefully, this one is a bit more accessible to the average gamer.
@BacklogBrad Totally agree with you. Two days early, nope. Lol. And Doom DLC is not that great. Not sure what this other guy is going on about. I didn't even think Doom Eternal was great. Way too hard on easy mode.
I love how they mentioned "it's PS5 Pro enhanced" but no mention that it's Series X enhanced. Lol. It's an Xbox game. I understand that its going to the Playstation, but this is an Xbox website. It always seems that there is a constant mention of the Playstation. It's insulting. It would be like me reading on Pushsquare that a God of War collection is coming out and it's going to be enhanced for the Series X with no mention of the Playstation.
I tried getting into this game, more than once. Put in about five hours or so. It's just not for me. It's a mediocre game. Maybe a 7. Typical Xbox exclusive. It seems that Microsoft says "alright guys, don't forget that this is going on Game Pass, so let's not make a great game, just a good one." I mean - Starfield, Redfall and now Avowed.
@NintendoByNature F.E.A.R. is definitely the best. But, although it's backwards compatible, you need a disc. You can't buy a digital copy. I had to get one at my local game store.
F.E.A.R. looked and still looks great. It was a high-end AAA PC game back when it came out. To me, F.E.A.R. 2 was a significant downgrade from the original. It was obviously built for consoles. Still love it and love Condemned.
I'm about 10 hours in. Feels unfinished. Stuttering frame rate is horrible (regardless of switching to Performance mode). Controls seem off, especially moving the camera around. Sometimes, the graphics look bad, almost like it's an arcade game. And far too much dialogue about just nonsense. Giving it a 7 feels fair.
Christmas 2002. I wanted the Xbox over the PS2. Everyone had the PS2. I thought the Xbox was a better name and it seemed like it would be the dominant console in the future due to Microsoft making it. Plus, Halo. Nothing on the Playstation could touch Halo.
@Nintendo4Sonic Yeah but we also have it on Game Pass. PS Premium doesn't have this. So at least there's that. But I can relate. I would have purchased a physical copy of this on the Xbox.

Re: More Amazing Games Are Discounted By 90-95% On Xbox This Weekend
Robocop was great when it was full priced. It's an absolute steal for $6.99. My only wish is that the game had NG +.
Re: Hellblade 2 Is Getting A Physical Release On Xbox, But Not By Microsoft
Why now? Because it's coming out on the PS5? Microsoft is so pathetic.
Re: Microsoft Celebrates As Xbox Vs. FTC Officially Comes To An End
Microsoft already won this a very long time ago.

Microsoft is pathetic.
The game is horrible.

Hard for me to get excited about something that might come out in 2027.
Re: Fallout Gets Renewed For Season 3, Season 2 Date And Teasers Revealed
I loved the first season. Not sure if it needs another season though. Similar with The Last of Us.
Re: Talking Point: Xbox Fans, How Many Of You Are Buying A Switch 2?
Tried preordering one. And then I just got annoyed. Apparently, I didn't want one that bad.

Prince St. Pizza? Never heard of this place.
Re: Oblivion Remastered's Performance 'Degrades' Over Time, Digital Foundry Discovers
It crashes at least once per day. Other than that, I'm loving the game.

Re: Talking Point: Which Xbox Game Will Move To PS5 Next?
@Techno92LFC My point exactly. If anything, they should be asking "Which Playstation game do you think is coming to the Xbox?"
Re: Talking Point: Which Xbox Game Will Move To PS5 Next?

Re: Xbox Handheld Gets Leaked, First Photos And Details Revealed
I'm sure the actual reveal will look good. At least better than these pics. I will most likely buy it. I'm a tech whore so.....
Re: GTA 6 Trailer 2 Has Arrived Ahead Of May 2026 Release On Xbox Series X|S
Looks great and I will play it on day one. But it's hard for me to get too excited due to it not coming out for another year.
Re: Xbox Announces Gears Of War: Reloaded, Releasing Summer 2025
@Simu001 Not a remake. Just 4k with 120 fps. Big deal.

Re: Video: Todd Howard And Bethesda React To Famous Oblivion Documentary
Great game, great memories. Happy to be revisiting Oblivion now.
Re: GTA 6 Gets A New Release Date As Rockstar Delays To May 2026
I would have been far more surprised if it came out this year. Of course May 2026. I had next April.
Re: Randy Pitchford Shuts Down Claims That GTA 6 Is Affecting Borderlands 4
What developer would say otherwise. Lol. And GTA 6 is not even coming out until next year.
Re: Digital Foundry Impressed With Oblivion Remastered, But Xbox Series S 'Takes A Hit'
@Isca I can't seem to get back in. It keeps crashing and going to my Xbox home screen. Are you still having issues?
Re: Two Xbox Game Pass Titles Reach Incredible Player Milestones During Launch Week
I'll be playing Oblivion for at least the next few months. Perhaps I'll try 33 at some point.
Re: Bethesda Officially Announces Oblivion Remastered, Full Reveal Coming Tomorrow
I hope they don't announce a Fall 2025 release date.
Re: Xbox & Bethesda Firing On All Cylinders With Fresh DOOM: The Dark Ages Gameplay

Re: Nightdive Wants To Know Which Xbox 360 Games Need A Remaster
@NarutosBiggestFan "We don't need remasters". YOU don't speak for WE. lol. Easy fix, don't buy them. Bye.
Re: Nightdive Wants To Know Which Xbox 360 Games Need A Remaster
The Darkness
Condemned
F.E.A.R.
Escape from Butcher Bay
Deus Ex: Invisible War (I know, it's an original Xbox game)

Re: Seven Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass In Early March 2025
Evil West is a great game. Lies of P would have been good if it were not another "souls like" game. Dying every 30 seconds gets old.
Re: Avowed Estimated To Reach 6 Million Players In First Month On Xbox & PC
Very surprised. Horrible game. About as good as Starfield and Redfall. Now Indy, that's a game.
Re: Avowed New Update Now Live For Xbox, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I tried getting into this game, more than once. Put in about five hours or so. It's just not for me. It's a mediocre game. Maybe a 7. Typical Xbox exclusive.

Re: Three Classic 'Monolith' Games That Are Backwards Compatible On Xbox
@NintendoByNature F.E.A.R. is definitely the best. But, although it's backwards compatible, you need a disc. You can't buy a digital copy. I had to get one at my local game store.

Re: Xbox Plans April Release Dates For Two Upcoming PS5 Ports
PS5 news - Pushsquare. Xbox news - Purexbox. See how easy that was? You're welcome.
Re: Warner Bros. Cancels Wonder Woman, Shuts Down Three Studios
Didn't Monolith develop F.E.A.R. and Condemned? Two great games.
Re: Reaction: Fable's Delay Is A Shame, But The New Gameplay Footage Looks Awesome
@Steel76 Agreed.
Re: Xbox Has Officially Delayed Fable Into 2026
Not surprised. Because these days, it takes 5, 10, 15, maybe even 20 years to make a game.
Re: Poll: Xbox Fans, What Review Score Would You Give Avowed So Far?
@GoldenPants Oblivion is one of my favorite games of all time. Great game. I saw that video too. Asmongold was reacting to it. Funny as hell.

Re: 20 Of The Best Backwards Compatible Games You Can Play On Xbox
I think there are far better games that were not mentioned - F.E.A.R., Condemned, Max Payne, Max Payne 2, Manhunt, Splinter Cell Trilogy.
Re: Talking Point: When Did You First Get Introduced To The World Of Xbox?
Christmas 2002. I wanted the Xbox over the PS2. Everyone had the PS2. I thought the Xbox was a better name and it seemed like it would be the dominant console in the future due to Microsoft making it. Plus, Halo. Nothing on the Playstation could touch Halo.
Re: Avowed: Release Date, Release Times, Early Access Details For Xbox & PC
Let's hope it's good. I'll check it out, but not totally convinced yet.
Re: Avowed Has A 60FPS Mode On Xbox Series X, Confirms Obsidian
Well it's 2025. I certainly hope it's 60 fps.

Re: All New Xbox Games Coming Out In February 2025
I'll check out Avowed. Looks outdated. And let's hope they keep character customization to two genders. You know - male and female.
