@uptownsoul The difficulty pushed me personally nowhere, I don't find Souls games difficult no matter how I play and I don't build OP decimate everything characters. My point is if you want to make a win build the option is there. Why not just give an actual selected difficulty? It hurts nobody.

Just here to say that FromSoft's Souls games are no yardstick for skill. Their difficulty is so overrated it's borderline comedic.

There's absolutely no reason whatsoever that those games don't have a difficulty option. They are ridiculously easy with the right character build. If I can build a Pyro or Hex that totally negates any difficulty then why not just give the games selected difficulty?

@Would_you_kindly Sadly, I think you're right about a new game. I could see MP3 possibly getting remastered as it'd be a lot less work than 1&2 but I doubt we'll ever get a fourth game.

Great news, played this to death on 360. Day one buy for me.

@Would_you_kindly That would be down to Rockstar and Take2, they bought the Max Payne IP from Remedy a long time ago.

@SithThanos Good to know, thanks!

@WCB The 50pt achievement one completed for me, as in it registered but didn't award the points. Weird.

2 very easy ones in Hades. Pet Cerberus the dog 10 times or kill Skelly (training dummy) 15 times.

Played a few hours and really enjoyed it so far. Really impressive for a freebie!

@Would_you_kindly I hate when that happens, Genshin Impact runs far better on my tablet than it does on my PS4 Pro lol.

@Would_you_kindly Yeah, I noticed that. I'd love to see JSR make a comeback one day.

This was the game that made me buy an XBO. Even though I was a day one OG and 360 owner the whole Kinect and TV, TV, TV debacle put me right off but I couldn't wait a year to play this.

I actually got an amazing deal. The bundle was the XBO with RotTR, Rare Replay and Forza 6 disc copies and a digital copy of Ori, all for £229. Bargain!

Jet Set 3, JSRF Remastered, I can dream right?

@IronMan30 I can see it already. Yeah, Persona 5 Royal wasn't all that anyway...

@BANJO Glowing endorsement there! Definitely checking this out, I do love a solid arcade racer.

@MattDaSmitdog Yeah, around the time that SR3 launched Itagaki was in talks with THQ/Volition to use their engine for his game Devil's Third. They used his likeness to promote SR3 and put it in the game.

SR4, I just love that it's basically a superhero game. Props to SR3 though for having Tomonobu Itagaki as a playable character. Dude is a gaming legend.

@JetmanUK Hah yeah, it's a tiny picture surrounded by a huge circle but I'll never change it. Hopefully it still looks ok when they blow it up.

Sweet, I'm still rocking my 360 gamerpic of Gum from Jet Set Radio. It's about the size of a postage-stamp!

@Residentsteve01 My mistake then. PS3 and PS4 always had them on the upper left. I don't own a PS5.

@Residentsteve01 The trophy pop-up is top left. I never had a game pause for any amount of time when an achievement pops but the description text sometimes has a delay when showing up for a diamond achievement for some reason. I agree that the actual box placement for achievements is awful though.

@Residentsteve01 Probably got the idea from the same place that Sony got the idea for the trophy system and PlayStation Network.

@Ile Yeah, I love the design of the S. It's a great little machine. Good call, one game that got ruined for me due to excessive loading was Outer Worlds on PS4 Pro. Think I'll give that a run on the S. Thanks again!

@Ile Thanks mate, I have a Series S. I assume it won't take much longer than the X as they seem to be fairly even.

Can anyone that's played AC Odyssey on a Series console tell me what the load times are like? I have it on PS4 Pro and they're absolutely glacial so I just gave up playing, it was that bad.

Is Witcher 2 no longer free? I grabbed that and Too Human at the same time. It was ages ago though.

Hades. It took me 50 attempts to get my first clear, I sucked badly until I played with the spear, now I'm on a 10 clear streak. Absolutely love this game!

@Halucigens It is what it is price wise, I'm just glad these things exist. I can see why they could annoy in online games but just wanted to point out that for players like myself and many others the reasons for owning one isn't about having an advantage over people at all. Happy gaming man!

@Halucigens P2W? Such a short sighted opinion. I don't play multiplayer games and I'm not paying for advantage. In my case it's pay to play in relative comfort. As a gamer with chronic arthritis in my hands those trigger stops and paddles are an absolute godsend.

That pro version looks sweet. I have the Scuf Vantage for PS4 and had no problems with it, really nice pad. I like how they use an official one as the base and then modify it rather than using third party shells and components. Will definitely pick one of these up.

I remember being blown away by the visuals in this way back when it came out. Looking forward to seeing it again.

Crysis 1 has some of the worst enemy AI I've ever seen in a game it's completely broken at times. It goes from aimbot to idiot with nothing in between. Absolutely hilarious.

I never use quick resume but still having this happen. Usually the achievement will pop by quitting and booting the game again. That said the Nyx's Mirror achievement will not pop for me no matter what I do.

To be fair I doubt it's an issue with the game but rather with the client/server check. Ever since MS introduced that nonsense for achievements they've been problematic.

Amazing game but I hope they actually work on optimizing the sequel. I played it originally on PS4 Pro and it ran like crap even after they patched it. Played it again on Series S and while it ran better it still had framerate issues and it crashed constantly.

While I'll always have a soft spot for Vice City, San Andreas gets my vote. It absolutely nailed the whole early 90's Boyz N' the Hood vibe. Such a great cast of characters and voice actors, especially Chris Penn and Samuel L. Jackson. Not to mention Danny Dyer's Kent Paul and Shaun Ryder as Maccer, the frontman of The Gurning Chimps. Wonderful game.

Absolutely love my Series S. I'll get a Series X when I can but in the meantime I'm very happy with my S, it's a fantastic little machine.

Easy pick for me, Ghost of Tsushima. I usually only have a quick play about with photo modes but I spent hours messing around with this one. Absolutely brilliant.

Take my money!!!!

As a gamer who's always been into indies it's great to see Xbox stepping up their indie library on GP, it feels like the 360 days when the XBLIG marketplace was pumping out some real gems. Hopefully they keep it up!

Had my eye on this ever since the reveal trailer way back in 2017 so this is great news. Game looks incredible.

@Roqka @DaverDaver Ah, I forgot the res takes a hit with the fps boost. My bad.

@Roqka It's worth playing for sure if you like the older style of gameplay in the series. AC3 remastered is also 4K/60/HDR if that's what you're after.

@OliverOwen Those are the 3 achievements I'm missing, I checked the rarity earlier and the enemy codex achievement now has a 0.01% completion rate, it had been sat at 0.00% all weekend.

I read on Trueachievements that the devs are aware and looking to fix the bugged achievements. Maybe the completion % changing has something to do with that. Hopefully it gets a fix soon.

I've got 8 in total.
Xbox - 1 Duke and 1 Controller S.
360 - 3 original and a Razer Onza.
XBO - The 1 that came with it.
Series S - The 1 that came with it.

@awp69 Yes it's original Xbox hardware. The Insignia project is designed specifically for playing online on the OG Xbox.

Definitely agree that the text size is an issue but complaining about too much happening in combat and a zoomed out view in an isometric game are not accessibility issues.

Finished this yesterday prior to the patch dropping. Definitely hit a few spikes but the stasis dragon, spiders and the jump combo made it very manageable. Cool they added difficulty options though, hopefully they fix the bugged achievements next.

Great that it sold well, fantastic game. Finished it earlier and loved every minute in that amazing city. Really hope it gets a sequel.

Can't find any patch notes as yet but I just got a 5gb update for the Xbox version of the game.

Ninja Gaiden 2. Even though it went for linear level design and lacked the overall polish of the original, it absolutely nailed the combat. To this day I honestly don't think any hack/slash game has bettered NG2's combat engine. By far my most satisfying (and difficult) 100% completion.

Honourable mention goes to Project Gotham Racing 2. Back when XBL was in it's infancy PGR2 had an amazing community and there was zero toxicity. I had my best online gaming experiences ever with this game.

Great game that deserves every sale it makes. My only gripe is the combat is kinda meh. It's not terrible but not great either. I just wish it had a combo system, something simple like Dust: An Elysian Tail or similar. The swing, dodge, swing, ad infinitum approach got old fast.

Halo CE, 2 and Reach are all up there for me but I absolutely loved ODST. Exploring New Mombasa and playing flashback stories through finding artifacts was just brilliant. Fantastic game!

@Mr_Ditkovitch I think if the ending of your game leaks then it's far from intended. This is down to the ever present incompetence that 343i wear like a badge of honour. They couldn't possibly not know that this build would be datamined. Absolute stupidity that these files were left in.
