I feel like I have this but i will double check.

Is the game all patched up?

Serena and Naomi mean must buy for me.

@Scummbuddy I think there are a lot of genres it can slot into, a tactical shooter like the old rainbow six games, a spy/infiltration similar to splinter cell or tenchu, a co-op dungeon crawler (make tech or freeing hostages a reward) as they evacuate areas or lead assaults on villains and maybe even call in some heroes as a superpower/air support. SHIELD and its spin offs deal with prevention or the stuff the heroes can’t get to so there are lots of ways to make that work I feel. Xcom style could be fun as well. If people can make a million war and james bond games, I am sure someone can do something with SHIELD.

Seeing as I have not played this one yet, very happy to play with Gamepass.

I am hoping I get the PST unlock.

Welp they got my attention. (I still want somebody to make an Agents of Shield game though)

I am so ready for this game. Dragon's Dogma just hit different for me. Granted, I was fortunate because when I bought it on 360 I had a buddy that had a level 99 pawn but replaying on switch has made reinforced that yep this game is so much fun. It is one of those series that is a perfect soup kinda game. There are other games that do the individual parts better, but not in a way that it all comes together to be this wonderful thing. I am so stoked!

@PJOReilly Does this game have significant post Dragon content like the first one? Since it seems like it is keeping to the original lore, I am looking for the everfall (a new version of bitterblack would be cool but that was an add on so I don’t expect that).

Welp glad I didn’t get rise of ronin (will get later).

I might spin up another playthrough.

Gamepass and BC for me. Also the xbox controller. Keeps me in the ecosystem.

Just waiting on Dragon’s dogma 2 to unlock. I have a bunch of pawns and two Arisen already made and set to go.

@Deljo that’s a complicated question. You have to report the value of anything over 600 dollars as income so you are paying taxes on the entire amount but how much that is depends on your tax bracket or if you are unlucky and the worth of the prize pushes you into a higher tax bracket. That’s why sometimes you will see people turn down a prize because it isn’t worth the bill later. Especially if you usually owe taxes every year instead of getting a refund.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner Mexico and Canada are included. It’s a regional promotion. The point is to drive awareness of the game in that region. So that more people buy the game.

Ugh the taxes to pay if you win. It’s pretty though.

Didn’t realize this series is back. Have to get since the GOAT is in it.

@Krazee5255 That's why there is a site for each console. Allows each version to be focused on individually. There is a push square article up about the framerate as well.

Kunitsu-Gami is gonna be a day 1 play for me. But I feel a little bad as normally I would have just bought it outright...oh well GamePass FTW!

I am just waiting on the DLC.

I sorta want one. Sucks there is no Vault Girl design.

Ready for kunitsu-gami info!!!

Collectors are salivating.

I don’t like to wish someone fail at their endeavors but I really hope he falls flat on his face with this one. Nothing good will come from this.

It sucks losing jobs but game development is essentially contract work. You only load bear what resources you need to complete the project/till the money runs out and then you shed excess skill sets. We haven’t been in a world where people keep the same job for 40 years in decades (especially if one doesn’t climb the corporate ladder). It sucks but hopefully due to the nature of those jobs employees are keeping their resumes and skillsets up to date (as well as being fiscally responsible) so they can get another job quickly. Lay offs suck but they aren’t the end of the world if you prepare. Never get complacent in a job. I hope everyone lands on their feet.

Xbox tried really hard to appeal to Japan huh? They might as well as put the flag on the box.

Ugh I gotta upgrade my PC. I have the originals but want to try these too.

Cool, just means the price will drop. Sucks that it means that they won't make a sequel but I've learned to enjoy the game you get and not the series you which could have been made.

I will likely get this in april but my march is stacked at this point. Unicorn Overlord alone is gonna destroy my free time.

@Rafie No, SMT Nine is exclusive to xbox.

Catch 22. Don’t buy games, less games get ported, less games get ported, less games get bought. UK charts shows system purchase percentage and for a number of games that are on all 3 systems, Xbox is rarely in the lead.

Ill be testing grounded on Xbox but if I like it I will pick it up on switch. Otherwise the rest i can play on xbox.

Cool I have the first anthology and fallout 4 (pip boy edition). I think I am done with the series though.

Nope. I like gamepass as is. Split by where you play.

I’m more interested in games than consoles right now.

About what I expected. They are leveraging their publishing reach a little and looking to how to keep doing that. I honestly like that they seem concerned about giving players a good experience no matter where they are playing. The next gen talk was the only thing that felt like it was a reach. The rest was sound, straightforward business roadmap.

Been looking for something to replace Remember Me in my rotation. Will give this a go.

Child of eden. Nuff said.

Honestly as long as Xbox gets the AAA multiplayer games I am good. I just really don’t wanna have to play non exclusives on ps5. Bad enough last gen when I had to put my fighters on PS4 because of street fighter v.

Why not just wait for MS to announce something? Crazy talk, I know.

They haven’t even said anything yet. Seriously are people ok? Asking for Elmo.

Just waiting for Dragon’s Dogma 2.

@Valkyrian What are you talking about? I never said anything about removing the male character. What double standard? If you are going to make a rebuttal then please make sense. Logical fallacies only make you look like you have nothing to say. I don’t think you understand how double standards actually work. Them cutting out the female protagonist (or never offering one in the original game) is a double standard. This isn’t a set character but instead an avatar. I’m merely stating that the existing female character shouldn’t be omitted forcing all players to play as the male character. Now what you just made up is not a double standard for one because your hypothetical doesn’t exist (and makes an insane assumption about my character as a person). I never said the male character had to go anywhere. I don’t actually care that the male protagonist is available, I care that the female protagonist isn’t available. There is a difference there that you are failing to see to make a hot take. So I presented no double standard. As I am applying the same consideration to the ability to play either protagonist. This is a role playing game, but players are forced into a role instead of being able to choose it. Especially when the option was available before.

Me, a woman, not wanting to play as a male character when there is an option (or refusing to play when that option has been removed) to play a female isn’t a double standard. It’s a preference. And as a consumer I will spend my disposable income at my discretion. Please learn how to present your point effectively.

If you are so diehard for me to have this game you are more than welcome to buy it for me. No? Then I will spend my money on games that I want to play. Like Ps3Portable. As it has the female protagonist. Try again.

Welp time to snag some freebies!

Chinese Lunar New Year is on the way, are y’all mad about that too? Cinco de Mayo? Matsuri is coming up in my state does that get your dander up? No then park your hate bus. Some people take pride in their culture… it’s not about you.

✊🏾

Yeah that eye thing was freaking me out. Seemed like my character was applying for a new Zatoichi/Ichi movie.

And it sounds like the fixed the temples. Cool I can move forward now.

No Female Protag, no buy. We are a little less than half the world’s population and this was an option in the portable version. It’s not ok to keep snubbing half the species.

Congrats, I hope the company thrives under her leadership.

I use gamepass so my physical xbox collection is very small. But honestly I think if I am still buying new systems after this gen, I am going all digital. Easier to buy, and way easer to move.

I can tell by the comments that a lot of people don’t understand what valuation means.

It’s also strange that people hate company bloat and mismanagement until layoffs happen. I suspect if these people were high earners with large houses and new expensive cars many would not feel so bad for them. And most didn’t before this news broke. A lot of this outrage is performative.

While it sucks when anyone loses a job but it is better for those people to reskill/update skillsets and apply to other companies (or reapply to MS later) than for MS to keep redundant or poor performing positions. I’d be shocked if they didn’t get a decent severance package which hopefully in conjunction with their own fiscal preparedness (emergency funds and savings and already living below their means) should float them until they get another job.

I may have to swing by wally world today.
