Avowed is fun but the story and characters are pretty meh.. I hoped it was like a super fleshed out proof of concept for a bigger better sequel, but that didn't go super well for Outer Worlds imo. Outer Worlds 2 is basically just more of the same and the writing just hasn't grabbed me
So... Too expensive for me, most likely. But also I don't trust anything this company says so I expect they'll change their tune in 2 weeks, then again in 2 more
This doesn't seem like it's for me. I guess I'm just more into the resident evil style of survival horror. I was looking forward to this but the enemy variety and combat don't seem up my alley
I tried to have fun with The Ascent but it was so buggy at launch and crashed constantly. Now I don't even have a way to play local co-op anymore. Sad face
Pretty dang excited. I started school though recently and I work full time along with getting married in like 2 weeks, so I worry I do not have the time
Between this, Civ 7, and Avowed, I'm truly screwed for time
I don't really get "excited" for games anymore, but I hope it's good. I've seen a lot of my favorite western RPG devs go to crap over the past few years so I'm hoping Obsidian isn't one of them
I kinda agree with this site's review for the game. Only having one weapon you can keep at a time, having to skulk around so much... The rewards for quests and exploration just weren't enough of a carrot on a stick for me either

@XxEvilAshxX guarantee there'll be an outpost capturing montage
Re: Waiting Patiently For Far Cry 7? Ubisoft Has Just Announced A Far Cry TV Show Instead
Far cry has been slipping since 5. 6 flat out sucked imo. I'm not excited for the series anymore, just like AC.

Re: Seven Things We Miss About The Xbox 360 Era In 2025
Still the best gen imo. I bought an elite a couple of weeks ago
Re: Rumour: Ex-Obsidian Dev Suggests Avowed 2 Is On The Cards, But 'No Plans' For Outer Worlds 3
Avowed is fun but the story and characters are pretty meh.. I hoped it was like a super fleshed out proof of concept for a bigger better sequel, but that didn't go super well for Outer Worlds imo. Outer Worlds 2 is basically just more of the same and the writing just hasn't grabbed me
Re: Poll: What Are Your Initial Impressions Of The Outer Worlds 2 On Xbox Game Pass?
It's kinda boring and lifeless. Maybe I'm just not far along enough or not in the right mood for it idk
Re: Five Games Are Leaving Xbox Game Pass In Early November 2025
That's a bummer
Re: Is Xbox Down? Huge Azure Server Outage Causes Issues Across Microsoft Services
The outer worlds 2 did it
Re: Microsoft CEO Says Xbox 'Wants To Innovate' With Its Next-Gen Console
@TheMule1983 yes directly but also what I said indirectly
So them saying their biggest competition being anything other than other consoles/PC/mobile just sounds dumb
Re: Microsoft CEO Says Xbox 'Wants To Innovate' With Its Next-Gen Console
Gaming's competition is literally every other hobby

Re: Microsoft Issues Statement Denying Target & Walmart Are Pulling Xbox Products
Many of the rumors may be bunk but it still seems like Xbox is in pretty big trouble
Re: New Rumours Suggest PS6 & Next-Gen Xbox Could Both Release In 2027
Doesn't even feel like this gen has hit its stride yet
Re: Talking Point: Would You Still Buy An Elite Series 3 Controller For Xbox Series X|S?
I don't think I'll be buying anything Xbox besides gamepass ever again tbh. If everything is an Xbox and they seem to be on their way out, why bother
Re: Two Games Are Available Early This Week With Xbox Game Pass (September 22-23)
Yawn yet another roguelike
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Reviews Are Saying About Silent Hill F
This doesn't seem like it's for me. I guess I'm just more into the resident evil style of survival horror. I was looking forward to this but the enemy variety and combat don't seem up my alley
Re: Two Huge Games Are Available This Week With Xbox Game Pass (August 26-28)
I thought veilguard sucked
Re: Turn-Based TMNT Game Announced For Xbox, Releases Next Week
Ehhhh... Definitely not for me. Looks very generic

Re: Talking Point: After Almost Two Years, How Do You Feel About Xbox's Starfield In 2025?
It's like a 6/10 for me. I go back to it every now and then but it's only for a couple hours. I only ever got like 20 hours in
Re: Three Games Are Available This Week With Xbox Game Pass (July 8-11)
I tried to have fun with The Ascent but it was so buggy at launch and crashed constantly. Now I don't even have a way to play local co-op anymore. Sad face
Re: Talking Point: Would You Play An Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Remake?
No I would not. I had my fun with the OG back in the day. Not interested in playing it again
Re: Xbox's New Strategy Is 'Right' For The Business And Needs To Be Embraced, Says Former Exec
It'll certainly be easier on my wallet not buying the next xbox
Re: Talking Point: Are You Buying Kingdom Come Deliverance 2?
Been playing the crap out of it. Great game
Re: Review: Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 (Xbox) - A Brutal & Brilliant Medieval Epic, But You'll Need To Put The Time In

Re: Ninja Gaiden 2 Black Updated On Xbox, Second Update Arriving Next Month
Anyone else have weird audio delay with this one? Like a quarter of a second delay
Re: Phil Spencer Reiterates Hardware Is Still A 'Critical Part' Of Xbox

@GuyinPA75 theroooy jeeenkins
Mirage at 12 bucks sounds tempting
Re: Seven Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (January 22)
I'm not big into indie stuff so I'll be passing on most of it. Kunitsu is sort of intriguing but not enough for me to actually play it
Re: Microsoft's 'VP Of Next-Gen' Seems To Think That Xbox Console Hardware Isn't Under Threat
@NeoRatt you do you
Re: Microsoft's 'VP Of Next-Gen' Seems To Think That Xbox Console Hardware Isn't Under Threat
It is under threat if there's no reason to buy it over a playstation 6 lol
Re: Just One Game Is Confirmed For Xbox Game Pass In February 2025 So Far
@Kilamanjaro agreed. I've got limited time (many of us do nowadays) and a 40 hour game is the perfect length for an rpg imo
Not to mention that when a game is 100 hours long I end up burning out around 60 hours in anyway
Re: Just One Game Is Confirmed For Xbox Game Pass In February 2025 So Far
I don't really get "excited" for games anymore, but I hope it's good. I've seen a lot of my favorite western RPG devs go to crap over the past few years so I'm hoping Obsidian isn't one of them
Re: Rumour: Microsoft's Next-Gen Console Dubbed 'Xbox Prime' Is Possibly Coming In 2026
If true that's way too early
Re: Poll: Which 'Xbox' Devices Will You Spend The Most Time With In 2025?
This is either going to turn out to be completely genius, or super stupid
Re: Talking Point: What Are Your New Year's Gaming Resolutions?
I'm going to be working full time and going to school as well. So my resolution is "try to find the time to play anything at all"
Re: Xbox Series X|S Console Sales Down Almost 30% In The US Compared To 2023
Well hell why buy one when all you gotta do is wait with a playstation lol
Re: Indiana Jones Update 2 Now Live On Xbox, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I kinda agree with this site's review for the game. Only having one weapon you can keep at a time, having to skulk around so much... The rewards for quests and exploration just weren't enough of a carrot on a stick for me either
