@Shinato2024 I played about 50 hours of it. The problem is that most of that content, at least in my opinion, is generic, bland, and boring

My best memory of the game is going to the Sol system and walking around Mars and Titan and whatnot in our solar system

I didn't hate the game. Maybe this new content will bring me back in

When I begin work in my new career I'll pay up to 1000 for something good. But until then naw

Push Square felt like the back half was mostly focused on Leon. Was that your experience too?

I don't believe her, or any of them. I think they're trying to quietly sunset hardware and maybe do niche hardware in the future that would be too expensive for the current customer base, and that they will focus on publishing, gamepass, and streaming

Of course they're gonna throw most of their resources at AI like everyone else

Xbox as we've known it is dying. Right now, slowly. Has been for a while. Is what it is

I do not believe anything anyone from this company says

You all just weren't ready for the new breed of shooter

Least surprising thing I've ever seen

@Jenkinss same. Just something about it that wasn't for me

I'm sure this is worth it

I feel like this is either gonna be Two Worlds again or Claire Obscur again and that there is no in-between

I thought avowed was pretty mediocre. Very bland. Didn't play much OW2 but what I did play gave me the same feeling

It was fun for a little while but there wasn't enough meat on the bone gameplay wise to keep me interested. The treasure sucked. The story and characters felt like they went through some sort of sterilizing machine and came out very bland

It was overall just very ok

Looks awesome

Finally

Maybe holler at me in 2028

@FrenchVaniIIuxe that's what I'm looking forward to

I can't not laugh at that hair

What a twist, who could have seen that coming

Avowed gave me 20 hours of enjoyment but I fell off it. Got too repetitive and the story/characters kinda sucked

I didn't give outer worlds 2 much of a chance

Good name for that

Probably 20%. PS5 is my main console. I've barely touched my switch this year. Recently got a PC and I'm in boomer shooter heaven so I'll be playing that mostly for a while

I wouldn't rate any of the Xbox games I played from this year over a 7 but doom dark ages is my favorite I guess

Is it another "we added hunger but forgot thirst" survival mode

@bert0503 no no, it's a "new breed of shooter"

Lol hell no it didn't

Whatever it is I hope it's better than their last few games have been

@ButterySmooth30FPS Hell. No.

With that new Turok update too, they're on one

Definitely getting this

I still don't believe anything they say

@XxEvilAshxX guarantee there'll be an outpost capturing montage

Far cry has been slipping since 5. 6 flat out sucked imo. I'm not excited for the series anymore, just like AC.

Looks really cool. Imma get it tomorrow

Looks like I didn't miss anything. None of this is for me

I tried it but the basic gameplay loop didn't do it for me

Still the best gen imo. I bought an elite a couple of weeks ago

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

It's kinda boring and lifeless. Maybe I'm just not far along enough or not in the right mood for it idk

That's a bummer

The outer worlds 2 did it

@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

Gaming's competition is literally every other hobby

Don't trust anything they say tbh

What will be the next live service shooter flop?

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

Eh nothing listed here for me. Maybe I'll find something else tho

@RentedPanda imagine Annihilation but it's metal gear and the bear is ocelot

Very much looking forward to this one it looks awesome possum

Many of the rumors may be bunk but it still seems like Xbox is in pretty big trouble

Doesn't even feel like this gen has hit its stride yet

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

Yawn yet another roguelike
