@Leopold Thats probably how she got where she is 🤣

Of course she is. Lets fire everyone or force everyone who brought Xbox to where its for bad corporate ideas and bring in the Yes men like Sharma. They need to get rid of her before she damages Xbox even more.

@themightyant Ah ok I thought you never played them before lol. Yeah I started with FF finished that and now I am working on FF IV. I too am waiting for VI. If I finish IV I might start V but that depends on if I finish it before Forza Horizon 6 comes out cause once that comes out their goes my gaming time.

@themightyant While FF V isnt as good as VI or IV its still a solid game in the series.

For me it depends on the price of the console and of course its library but that just doesn't mean exclusives. I prefer alot of the third party games more than Sony or MS exclusives. Series like Borderlands, GTA, Diablo, for example. I am not to big on Halo, Gears, and Horizon Zero Dawn. Besides I have a PC so I can play most exclusives like Spider-man, Horizon Zero Dawn, Halo etc on PC.

@Banjo- You can get the first one for less then $20 at a used game store.

@FraserG I believe at one point the original FH and FH2 was given out with Games With Gold so if you grabbed it then you might have it in your library.

I will be getting all of them as except Forza Motersport or FH5 as I havent played those at all. In the case of Motorsport I have no interest in and 5 I have not got around to yet.

Lord of the Rings Conquest.

@VisitingComet1 I liked the classes in D3 especially the Demon Hunter and Witch Doctor but when D4 launched I didnt like the classes either and that skill trees, yikes. Looking forward to getting some time with the Warlock though.

Well now that I finished Mafia: The Old Country, which was great btw I will be moving on to the following

Heroes of Might and Magic: The Olden Era (PC) One of my favorite game series so of course I had to check out the newest one and it doesnt disappoint.

Final Fantays IV Pixal Remaster (Series X) Just got the airship and now I am off to gather the crystal of earth.

As much as I like the Xbox 360 it is way to bright. So I went with the first one.

Still rocking the Fallout theme from the TV series on my Series X and on my Series S I still having the original Xbox tribute one so it might be time to change that one.

Yes the return of Heroes of Might and Magic. Been waiting for this game since its announcement. Going to be a busy weekend.

@FraserG No worries mate. I know you are 8 hours ahead of me so if I dont a response right away I figure I will get one when its the next day for you.

@VisitingComet1 I think the second update was to fix something as alot of people were reporting unable to log into the game after the first update.

@VisitingComet1 Accodring to the map above it should be available now.

@RiverGenie Yeah I have always enjoyed the lore of Diablo just with 4 as I said the initial classes did nothing for me. Back in 3 I loved the odd classes like the Witch Doctor, and even the Demon Hunter but these classes in 4 just felt bland. Maybe it was the skill trees which I want to check out now that they have been revamped.

Now I just gotta figure out do I.want to play this on PC or console.

@RiverGenie I dont mind starting from the beginning, actually I like it that way so I can experience the full story and not be confused.

I remember when I first started World of Warcraft I started in the middle of Lich King due to.finally getting a PC at that time. Everyone else I knew played it since Vanilla, so I was like who is that and why is this happening lol. It took me awhile to figure out what was really going on story wise.

Thanks for the info.

This looks interesting especially the Warlock class. I will be honest none of the classes did it for me for Diablo IV but the Warlock class has piqued my interest.

Question is though @FraserG I havent played Diablo IV since launch and never got to far in it. Do I need to finish the base game and all the expansions before playing this one or can I just jump in?

I always liked the OG Xbox logo for some reasone especially the animated one that "cracks" open into the X. Always enjoyed that at the end of the Xbox commercials during that gen.

To be honest, I am still happy with my Series X and dont feel the need to upgrade. Much like with the Switch 2, I will probably be picking up the next Xbox a few years after launch when the price drops begin. It also depends for me when Valve releases its Steam Machine.

@Kilamanjaro Why thats basic what Sharma is. She's Xbox's version of Reggie. No clue on anything just smiling like and idiot telling people what they want to hear and just treating everything like its one big joke.

I love how everyone is pro Sharma right now but the moment the higher ups do something stupid like raise the prices again they will be quick to throw her under the bus just like they did Phil Spencer.

I am playing

Mafia: The Old Country (Series X) Going to be getting back into this game after a week off due to work.

Final Fantasy IV (Series X) Was in a mood for a classic JRPG and this is one one of my favorites. I saw it was added to Gamepass so I decided to start a new game. Love the fully remade music for this game.

Going to be playing Forza Horizon 6 of course, but I will also be playing Final Fantasy V. While not as good as IV or VI its still better then current Final Fantasy games.

@Gabrie No Phil's plans didnt fall apart MS did and needed a scapegoat so they used Phil. It was their idea for Xbox Everywhere, and to raise Gamepass.prices just because of Call of Duty and go for multiplatform (which I think is great but thats another subject). However when the core fans reacted the way they did they needed to blame someone cause of course it was their faulty.

Sharma, has no clue what shes doing shes just repeating what her overlords are telling her and all these mindless puppets are gobbling it up with their way to go Sharma and shes doing great.

In alot of ways she reminds me of Reggie from Nintendo just a character to appease the puppets and be a PR piece.

I love how the uppers.threw Phil Spencer under the bus and act like this clown is the best thing to happen to Xbox ever.

Been wanting to replay Black Flag lately. Might as well just wait for this one to come out.

If they made Call of Duty games like they did during the Golden Age of CoD instead of the garbage they do now, I would be upset that CoD wont be day one. But forcing people who sub to Gamepass to pay a higher price just because MS wanted to add CoD day one and have no interest in today's CoD was wrong to begin with. Today's CoD are worth it.

Can't wait for the return of HoMM.

Hades II (Series X) Loved the first one so I have been waiting to play this one for awhile.

Mafia: The Old Country (Series X) Will be continuing the story this weekend.

I will be checking it out this weekend when I have the time.

Probably the worst Call of Duty ever. I had high hopes for this game when it came out I even prefer the WWII settings over MW and Black Ops. This game however was such a disaster from the beginning and never got fixed.

Not a damn thing. Either its stuff I own already or not interested in.

Will be checking out Hades II as I loved the first one.

@Noone2025 3's setting is what got mr hooked on the series. Just how beautiful it is an fun to just drive around in. Going from beach to city and then into a forest so much fun and beautiful. Still my favorite in the series.

But let me guess, the price wont change.

I recently just played and finished Forza Horizon 2 for the first time a few weeks ago and it too still looked great. Was thinking about starting 4 but I dont want to be in the middle of it when 6 comes out. I can't wait for May to get here.

Mafia: The Old Country (Series X) Just joined the Family. Really enjoying this one and where its going.

Graveyard Keeper (Series X) I cant say no to a free game. Played this a bit during the pandemic so it's been awhile. Will be starting a new game this weekend.

River City Ransom (NSO) Will be doing a playthrough of my favorite Kunio game in honor of its creator's passing earlier this week.

Thanks for the heads up. Played it during the pandemic and enjoyed it. If you like Stardew Valley then you will enjoy this.

@Kezelpaso I can't wait for this game. I just recently finished Forza Horizon 2 (my second FH game to finished, finished 3 a few years ago) and I am ready to check out another festival. I dont want to start another FH so I can start this one next month as I always wanted one in Japan.

I cant wait to play this game. I just finished Forza Horizon 2 for the first time and now I am ready for another Horizon trip but I am waiting for next month when this game comes out.

@IOI Really, I never knew that, I will have check that out. Thanks.

The only thing I really wish they would do is move or at least give the option to move the achievement pop up notification to the top left of the screen like Sony does. I hate it when you are in game especially during a cutscene or QTE and the achievement pops up at the bottom of the screen and covers up text. So annoying.

Two of Xbox controllers I got rechargeable battery packs and a charger for where you an replace the back cover of the controller so the controllers can charge.

The rest of mine use normal batteries just because I keep forgetting to buy more battery packs and charger stands when I have the money lol.

@FraserG Ah ok I knew it was soon. Good to know I have a bit of time to buy the DLC.

@FraserG Wasn't Horizon Chase Turbo also getting delisted next month?

Honestly now that I think about it I only bought two consoles at launch. The PS4 and The Wii U.

The PS4 lived up to my expectations for the most part. It wasnt till the end of that generation that I started to dislike what they were doing business wise. The console itself was great, probably one of my favorite of all time.

The Wii U however, was the Wii U. It wasnt bad per say just disappointing due to how Nintendo marketed it. The lack of third party support, the off TV play with the pad gimmick. You can definitely tell that the Wii U was a prototype for the Switch.

Now while I didnt by them at launch I bought a few consoles a few months after. The Xbox Series X and that was due to COVID and the disruptions that caused causing limited stock. I got mine in by luck when I saw on Twitter that Walmart was doing a drop at a certain time. I rushed to their website and was able to get one.

The other near launch console I bought was the 3DS. I didnt buy that one till the price drop was offered mainly cause I couldnt afford what they were asking for at launch.

The rest of my consoles I got for either birthday, or Christmas or in the case of the Dreamcast and original Xbox years later from retro game stores. In the case of the Gamecube, and DS it was when certain games came out and the Wii it was when I was able to find one.

@FraserG Ah ok. Must not have been anything I was interested in cause I didnt notice anything new.
