I'd say probably about 80%. Series X is where I play most of my Co-op games both couch and online plus new releases like Borderlands 4, Avowed and multiplatform games. I do have a Switch which I am trying to use more often mainly for exclusives, the NSO Library and single player games that I can just chill and play at night before bed like Dragon Quest XI S.

I do have a decent gaming laptop but I dont use it to much for gaming except for PC exclusives games like WoW, Heroes of Might and Magic 3, and mods for Fallout like Fallout London.

But yeah this year its mostly been Series X.

Rewatched all of season 1 yesterday and will be watching the first episode of season 2 tonight after I get home from my Daggerheart campaign.

Pocket Controller.

@BrownOwl Yep and just as I thought Clair Obscur is running away with it. This is why award shows are b.s. It clouds people's judgement and they are too afraid to go against the grain then. They just want to be cool and jump on that band wagon. As I said too many sheep.

@Balaam_ I had that same problem with Tony Hawk 3+4. Dont get me wrong it was one of my most anticipated games this year but growing up and playing the original on PS2 I just couldnt play it on the Series X and it was the controller. Normally I prefer the Xbox controller over Sony's but for that game it just felt bad. I had to get the game on PS4 since I dont own a PS5. Once I did everything felt.good again and I was able to pull off combos and such without any problems.

Why are we having this. We all know that Clair Obscur is going to win. Too many sheep out there.

Dragon Quest XI S (Switch) Just got Erik's orb back

Terminator 2D (Series X) Finally the Terminator game I have been waiting for.

Mutant Football League 2 (Series X) Loved the first game. Can't wait to start this one.

These "award" shows are just popularity contests. It never matters how good or bad your game, or movie or song is the one that is more popular will win. Which is why I never put any stakes into these shows. I know what a good game is and I dont need anyone telling me what is.

So only because they won GoTY in a popularity contest they are releasing a patch that should have been released. So your telling me if they didnt win they wouldn't have released it?

Awards like these are always popularity contests. It doesn't matter if its the Oscars, the Grammys, or Video Game awards its what is the most talked about game that gets the award, which is why I never pay attention to the awards ceremonies, I dont need anyone telling me what its a good game and what isnt. I played Clair Obscur for a few hours and just found it dull and boring myself definitely not a GotY contender in my book especially when you had so many other great games come out worthy of that title. Avowed, Borderlands 4, Dispatch and a few others. Its just that Clair Obscur had the better marketing budget.

So does this connect in any way to the MMO?

How bout also get rid of SBMM, wacky character skins, and better map design to encourage movement and not camping.

I wonder if they will do an update to 25 for this. I preferred 25 over 26 as 26 felt too much like a reskinned Madden. 25 felt different more unique.

I wonder if Matt Mercer is voicing him.

The one of the reason I went with a Series X this gen over PS5. I was tired of having 3 different Playstations hooked up and take up so much room just so I can play my entire PS library. With a Series X, I have my entire Xbox library on one machine. I can play a game of Crimson Skies, then switch to Forza Horizon 1, then play some Battlefield V, then play some TMNT Shredder's Revenge all without having to get up and switch consoles. I even went back and played some 360 games that I missed during the 360 lifespan. Also I didnt have to buy anything to make sure my 360 hooked up to a modern TV like I had to with my PS2 just to play a few games.

I wish the other two game companies would embrace backwards compatibility like MS does.

And its due to sales numbers like this that make the Microsoft big wigs think that no one is interested in Xbox consoles anymore. They dont look at forums or surveys they look at numbers and raw data. So when they see numbers like this of course they are going to want and make the Xbox division switch their focus from console development and exclusives to multiplatform releases.

Nope. I was looking forward to couch co-op campaign to play with my son. But once it was apparent that they lied about it I deleted the game from my console and I havent touched it since. Really disappointed by this game and it was clear that they just lied to get sales.

@NintendoByNature I saw that and it reminds me of Shredder's Revenge but with a Marvel paint job. Its definitely on my Christmas List and cant wait to play it.

Borderlands 3 (Series X) Will be starting Krieg's DLC now that I am finished with Guns, Love and Tentacles (or whatever its called) DLC.

Dragon Quest XI S (Switch) Just got back to the ruins of Cobblestone and discovered my past. Also manged to craft my first pieces of equipment.

Doesn't Leonard Boyarsky,.the other creator of Fallout also work for Obsidian? 🤔

@FraserG Agree. Netflix is a streaming service not a gaming company. I dont see the point in Netflix buying the gaming division as well except to turn game IPs like The Arkham series or Mortal Kombat into some sort of TV Show kinda like WB did when they bought out Midway's IPs like Rampage. The only other thing I can see them doing with the gaming division is mobile games but I dont see Netflix games coming to Xbox, PS, Nintendo or PC.

Why is it always the same games on sale?

I knew Activision couldnt be trusted. Which is why I didnt bother playing this game. My FPS days are gone sadly ruined by corporate greed and lies. The last good FPS was XDefiant and Ubisoft decided to bury it.

I enjoyed my time with Avowed and its definitely a contender for my GOTY 2025. Looking forward to playing this game again at some point.

Will check out Marvel and my son is checking out Lost Records. Other then that nothing much.

Borderlands 3 (Series X) Finished Guns Love and Tentacles DLC so I will be starting the next DLC this weekend.

Dragon Quest XI S (Switch) Loving this amazing game. Just fled the dungeon with a new allie and now I am making my way back to Cobblestone.

Nope. I got games in my backlog to complete. I just started Dragon Quest XI S, about to finish off Borderlands 3 and have Mafia: The Old Country to play.

Non video gaming wise I also started playing in a weekly Daggerheart campaign so that has my free time as well. Besides no games coming out in December interest me.

Activision is panicking. They finally pissed off enough of the player base and its fans arent going to stand for Activision's strict SBMM system and AI slop. Hopefully this is the wake up call Activision needed and next year's CoD will go back to the way CoD was before MW 2019.

Not really. With backwards compatibility alot of the big games that defined the 360 era can still be played which keeps that gen fresh in people's minds. To be honest I didnt even realize it was 20 years till I saw articles here.

Once backwards compatibility became and previously gen consoles getting longer life spans the generations just blur together and as a result a person forgets how long its been since a said consoles debut.

Nothing for me. I have games on my backlog to play plus I am wrapping up Borderlands 3 and I just Dragon Quest XIS so I am good on games for awhile. Will be using that money elsewhere.

I will be doing the same thing I have been for a few weeks now. Playing Borderlands 3 and some Dragon Quest XI S.

Yeah this is been stated so many times its common knowledge. In other news water is wet.

Does it include tbe couch co-op mode they promised?

@Weebleman That came from Peter Moore cause at the time he was trying to run Xbox like when he was at Sega.

I mean if you think about it why have your games tied to one console or system. I know plenty of people that would love to play Mario on a PC or PS or Xbox. Just like PS owners are enjoying Gears and Forza Horizon 5 on PS and Xbox and Switch owners enjoy MLB The Show.

Look at it this way consumers pay at least $500, $700, $1000 whatever the console goes for once. But games people pay $60+ all the time. Put that across multiple consoles and you can see it adds up.

Consoles dont make money software does.

She obviously doesnt know what shes doing, shes just telling people what they want to hear. Its time for her to go and bring someone in who's not a corporate puppet.

Didn't realize the My Sims pack was coming to Xbox. My son and I enjoyed that game on the Wii. Been wanting to get it on the Switch but think I will opt for the Xbox version.

Borderlands 3 (Series X) I am about to wrap up the Guns Love and Tentacles DLC. Seriously this games DLC is way better then the main story.

Dragon Quest XI S (Switch) Finally grabbed this game on Switch as it was on sale. Such a beautiful game and perfect to play before bed each night.

Definitely interested in it especially if Xbox goes the Handheld route with their next console. I just need to know the price before I fully commit.

As I said in the other article. If Xbox goes the Handheld route next console, I may look into this as my next console.

This is interesting. If MS goes the Handheld/Hybrid gaming route I may look into this for my next console after Series X, depending on price of course.

I dont know if the next Xbox is a Hybrid or handheld only console I will just go with PC then. I am not big on handheld gaming I always preferred gaming on a big screen in my living room. I grew up with a Gameboy, loved my DS and 3DS and own a Switch but I find myself always gaming on a home console more.

Of course the big thing is the price, for what there are asking I can just get a decent gaming laptop or just upgrade my desktop. Still as much as I enjoy Xbox consoles if they decide to go the Hybrid/Handheld route I will still be playing their games.

Its no surprise. This really didnt offer anything new to previous Fallout 4 owners. Maybe they they also included Fallout London it would have been different but what did they expect.

My favorite Xbox console since the 360. I remember sitting at home during COVID and seeing on Twitter that Walmart.com was releasing some at a certain time so I jumped on it and managed to get one. Loved it ever since.

@Blastfemur I got through GoG and didnt have any problems with it.

@ILuvGames I played Pre-sequel years ago and really couldnt get into it the antigravity just didnt feel right to me and I did start Wonderlands as well but got sidetracked with other games, that is a game I need to finish. I have played through the first Tales game and the second one is in my backlog.

I also have the Bunkers and Badass TTRPG as well which is interesting on its own.

@ILuvGames Probably my favorite newer gaming franchise. I played through 1 including all DLC and played through 2 so many times I lost count. Now I am working on 3 and have 4 after that.

Wish they would add Fallout London to it like GoG does.

Borderlands 3 (Series X) Making my way through the Guns Love and Tentacles DLC. Another good DLC especially with the cosmic horror theme.

This is starting to become vaporware.
