@ghostmutt14 I highly recommend Sunset Overdrive, especially since it's on Game Pass. But it was a ridiculous ride of a gamenthat I love jumping back into just to smash some OD (aka zombies)
@Romans12 You and everyone else... we get it! You want new AAA games All The Time. This marketing team is clearly not involved with the game-making side of Xbox. Give it a rest on the articles that aren't about a game being delayed, will ya?
@Sebatrox One reason is predatory practices. Each Return to Monkey Island box set for different platforms comes with a slightly different "toy key" encouraging people to buy each platform or "miss out". But fret not, for they have a way to buy all four choices in one package for 400+ dollars.
I appreciate knowing that a game is in early/active development vs potential years of not knowing why a game company is radio silent or flat out denying existence on a desired sequel. I'm cool with hearing that a new Perfect Dark game is in development and I'm cool with waiting. It is odd when you have titles like Beyond Good and Evil 2 and Metroid Prime 4 taking so long and going through a restart but I'd rather it be in known development than not know it's in development and be curious as to why the company seems to not want to make a sequel.
Problem with Physical Xbox games has been what both Halo Infinite and the most recent COD did, have blank discs that only function as a CD key for downloading. They don't even have the single player sections on the disc. What a shame.
Thank you PureXbox for your daily Xbox posts and great content. I was looking for a great Xbox fansite last year after being away for so long. I used to be on the old PureXbox and XboxAddict sites a decade ago and missed them. I've been very happy to have found this place.
You can tone down the chatter in the settings, don't forget.
I get that it is part of the point of the game but to trash the game with a 3/10 and your "review company name" is "But Why Tho?" it does seem like the review would have an agenda.
I got my invite code yesterday and I'm up and running with my gamertag. This was such a cool experience to re-live the process of signing up once again. Had to go to work before jumping into a game but I'll be up on MechAssault in no time. Pew pew pew. I was an original box live beta tester and here I go again!
@mac01208 It seems to be a Chinese distributor with zero history, and there's a secondary account also selling the Series S for the same price, with like 2 reviews. I would have fallen for this scam too if Amazon didn't "accidentally break" and didn't finish the "Buy It Now" process, as it seems Amazon may know something is up with these listings. It was only when it wouldn't complete the purchase or even add it to my cart that I looked at the sellers name and history.
@Sam_TSM While I haven't yet played it myself, I believe there may be multiple endings. Perhaps you encountered one of those and you didn't like it? No need to write back and potentially spoil the game. Just putting this out there.
@Luminous117 @EVIL-C Have you volunteered your time in working on this? Did you see that they'd love to get Halo 2 going but it requires a whole lot of extra server-side setup that they have to reverse engineer and also simply guess at?! You two are complaining about something free done by fans as a labor of love.
@Stnkygrngo I only played Amped 1 and 3, and I was never that good. You can go ahead and put me at the lower end of the Amped 2 leaderboards. But I LOVED that Amped 3 campaign!!
I pre-ordered the game not knowing this was potentially a Souls-like, but I'm happy to hear it has the Assist mode. That sounds like what I would need to better enjoy this game.
High On Life was such a great surprise during it's announcement trailer earlier this year. It was the game I most was looking forward to that day and am eagerly awaiting it now. It reminds me mostly of Oddworld Strangers Wrath, but with over the top humor. Gimme

Re: Hands On: Our First Impressions Of GoldenEye 007 On Xbox Game Pass
@iplaygamesnstuff Nintendo gets a stake because they were the original publisher. Look it up. Don't just assume things.
Re: Hands On: Our First Impressions Of GoldenEye 007 On Xbox Game Pass
@iplaygamesnstuff Sorry, not without Nintendo's say so in this case.

Re: Tango Gameworks Announces 'Hi-Fi RUSH', Available Today On Xbox Game Pass

Re: Soapbox: January's Developer_Direct Could Be The Start Of Something Big For Xbox

Re: Soapbox: This Game Pass Gem Is My Xbox Game Of The Year For 2022
I can relate. And it may sound odd but Sunset Overdrive hit for me right at a point that I absolutely needed the (absurd) escapism.
