Re: Two Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (February 3)

Tasuki

I still to finish Like a Dragon. Started it awhile ago but just fell off of it. No reason just didnt have the time. Plus I would need to play Infinite Wealth before I play Pirate Yakuza.

As FF2 goes. Its ok I played it on the GBA years ago and finished it but once was enough for me.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (Switch) Finished up the Desert Rift and now I am preparing to hit the Hyrule Castle Rift.

Forza Horizon 2 (Series X) With all the talk about Forza Horizon 6 in made me want to play one of the Forza Horozon games so I decided to play 2.

Borderlands 3 (Series X) Still working my way through the DLC for this game.

Final Fantasy Pixal Remaster (Series X) Pure nostalgia kick for me here. Haven't played this game in years.

Re: Talking Point: Three Years Later, What Do You Think Of The GoldenEye 007 Port For Xbox?

Tasuki

While its a decent game alot of it relies on nostalgia factor. I tried to play through the campaign when it first came out but after a couple of hours I couldnt anymore. Back in 1996 I could have easily play the campaign for hours on end and even days but now I just cant it hasnt aged well.

With that said though, I can still play the Multiplayer no problem especially with my brother or the boys. Yes its aged yeah their are other MP games out there better but thats the charm of it. I want to play classic GoldenEye MP. If I want say Call of Duty or Halo MP I will play those.

Re: I've Never Played Final Fantasy 7 Before, But I'm Liking The Remake On Xbox So Far

Tasuki

Seriously, you played Legend of Dragoon over FF7 that's a win for you. FF7 was the beginning of the decline for the FF games. The stories become dull and had no soul the villians were boring and the main characters were whiny little emo babies.

Trust me when I say you didnt miss much by not playing it. In fact you were able to have time to do something else instead of wasting it playing that game.

Re: Talking Point: As Xbox Celebrates 25 Years, What's Your First Ever Xbox Memory?

Tasuki

My first Xbox memory would be hearing the rumors that MS was making a console and then the unveiling of it. I personally never owned the OG Xbox as during that gen I had a GameCube and PS2 and it was hard enough being able to afford games for both systems. My friend on the other hand had an Xbox and when we all go over to his house it was Halo, of course and KotoR.

I didnt own an Xbox console till I got my son the Xbox 360 for Christmas 08 because he really enjoyed the Smackdown VS Raw series back then. I got him the Xbox 360 and it came with Lego Indiana Jones and Kung Fu Panda, and of course Smackdown VS Raw 2009. Mainly I got it because it was cheaper then a PS3 and all the games that he and I wanted to play on it was third party games. Been with Xbox ever since except for the PS4/Xbox One gen because of Don Mattrick's screw up. I wasnt about to pay $100 more for a paraphernalia that I wasnt going to ever use.

Re: Is It Worth Buying An Xbox One In 2026?

Tasuki

To be honest since I got my Series X I havent touched my Xbox One. I really should wipe it and sell it but right now its buried in the closet. If you dont own a Series X or S there is some value in getting an Xbox One especially if you want to play Gamepass games. There are alot on that service that they Xbox One can play really well.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 10-11)

Tasuki

The Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom (Switch) Just started this one and its turning into one of my favorite Zelda games.

Final Fantasy Pixal Remaster (Series X) A trip down memory lane. Just defeated a group of pirates and got their ship.

Borderlands 3 (Series X) Picked this one up again. Started the next DLC, Bounty of Blood: A Fistfull of Redemption. So far I am enjoying the western them of the planet.

Dragon Quest XI S (Switch) Continuing with my journey. Just got to the town with a Circus in it.

Re: Three Casual Xbox Games Arrived For 'Free' Over Christmas, Easy Achievements On Offer

Tasuki

I have always hated achievments/trophies as developers just use them to infliate the length of a game. So many times I have seen games advertise as over 200 hundred hours of gameplay or something similar, only to finish the story in less then 20 hours and find that the rest of the time is for achievement hunting.

While I dont mind achievements tied to the story, ***** ones like jump 100 times in one place or beat the boss with some obscure weapon is the ones that devs use to inflate game time and should be considered false advertising.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 3-4)

Tasuki

Its going to be a Switch weekend for me this weekend as one of my gaming goals is to finish more games this year on my Switch.

Dragon Quest XI S (Switch) Just got to the city with the circus and horse races. Right now I am just trying to craft better weapons and armor for my group.

Echoes of Wisdom (Switch) Still getting use to this game. On one hand it feels great to play a new 2D Zelda game. On the other I am slowing getting use of the lack of direct combat.

Outside of video games. I recently started playing in a Daggerheart campaign so I will be playing that as well.

Have a good weekend everyone and Happy New Year!!!

Re: Pure Xbox's Game Of The Year 2025: The Results You Didn't See

Tasuki

@NintendoByNature I did play it for a few hours and just couldnt get into it. Which makes me wonder how its GOTY at all. For me its the same as FF VII back in the day. All hype and nothing more.

As for Echo of Wisdom I did indeed pick it up and will be starting it at some point probably after I finish Dragon Quest XI S. I made it a goal of mine for 2026 to play more Switch games and the best time I find to do that is right before bed for an hour or two. As a result it may take me a while to get through some games but I am enjoying the journey.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 27-28)

Tasuki

Will be continuing with what I have been playing lately.

Dragon Quest XI S (Switch) Just got Veronica and Serena and now preparing to leave for the next area.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion (Series X) My son and I are really enjoying this game alot.

Terminator 2D (Series X) Just finished the first play through such an awesome game. Now I am going to replay it and select the other choices I had.

Re: Talking Point: Which Xbox Games Have You Managed To Finish In 2025?

Tasuki

Right now the only ones that come mind are

It Takes Two
Borderlands 3
Suikoden 1
Mortal Kombat 1

Thats all I really "finished" I did play more but some of them I dropped for various reasons. While a few of them took me a few months to finish, Suikoden 1 and Borderlands 3 due to my gaming schedule. Next year I am going to try to finish a few more games, right now I am working on Dragon Quest XI S on the Switch and looking at a few other ones.

Re: Pure Xbox's Game Of The Year 2025: The Results You Didn't See

Tasuki

Well of course Clair Obscur had the most votes. With every media outlet touting it as the greatest game ever made everyone is just going to jump on the bandwagon. To many mindless sheep nowadays. People are too afraid to speak the truth and go against the majority because they want to fit in.

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing Over Christmas Break?

Tasuki

The same games I have been playing for a few weeks now.

Dragon Quest XI S (Switch)
Borderlands 3 (Series X)
Marvel Cosmic Invasion (Series X)
Terminator 2D (Series X)
Knights of the Old Republic (PC)

I might go back to Fallout London as I am on a Fallout mood thanks to the TV show.
