@jFug It's basically Fallout/ Skyrim with an Indiana Jones skin, which is not a bad thing. It's one of the best games that came out last year especially if your a fan of the movies. I will warn you it's not a FPS by any means. Yeah you can use guns but you gotta remember that's not Indy's style so going around shooting everything will make it hard for you.
I wouldn't be surprised at all by Dragon Age, especially since PS+ owners got it for free this month on PS5. Also from what I heard that game was a disappointment and isn't selling well. They might as well recoup some of the lost by making a deal to have it on a subscription service.
@Hexamex-Tex It depends really. I can see them doing Classic no problem retail that's a whole different story. As for addons they are not necessary to play WoW.
@FraserG Ah ok I heard about that before I was hoping that they finally brought it over to console. Still will be interested to read how it goes for you.
I would have to go back and look at my list but right now the four that come to mind are Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Avowed and Unpacking and Stardew Valley.
It depends on what direction they go. With their support for cloud gaming and play anywhere they really don't need to rush out a new console, especially if the rumors are true about this handheld console. I honestly don't need a new Xbox console right now, there is still plenty of stuff for me to play on the Series X.
Consoles have never been the main strategy for MS its been PC and software. The whole idea for the original Xbox was to have a beginner friendly introductory PC that could hook up to a tv and play PC games. After all Xbox is just short for Direct X Box.
Avowed (Series X) I am just about to wrap up Dawnshore. I have a few areas to explore and the main quest line to finish.
WWE 2K24 (Series X) Started up a GM Mode against my son. I am currently Eric Bischoff running WCW and he Teddy Long running ECW. We also threw in a couple of computers just to spice things up a bit.
World of Warcraft Classic Anniversary (PC) Still playing this one mostly just been building up my crafting lately.
My son and I still have his R2-D2 model Xbox 360 which has The Simpson's Arcade on it I just dont have it hooked up right now.
The 360 was an awesome system and for me was the first console that marked modern gaming. It was the first console that I connected to the internet and downloaded games for it. Granted I had a PC before that and did download games on that but it just was different with a home console. It was the first console I played multiplayer matches on, mostly LOTR Conquest lol. It was also the first console my son and I shared.
The only IP I would be interested in MS getting from Ubisoft would be the Heroes of Might and Magic IP. I think it would fit in with MS perfectly they could even maybe give it to Blizzard to work make a new one.
I am not a big handheld person myself, I barely even play my Switch that way, usually playing it docked or if I cant setting it up on a table or something.
I had a Gameboy growing up and the only time I played it was on outtings like a vacation or a trip to Grandma's house. I also had a DS which I only got for the Castlevania games, and a 3DS which again I got for a handfull of exclusives.
If I have my option to play a game on a handheld device or a console/PC I am going to play it that way first. So I will probably pass on a Microsoft handheld. Great for those who prefer that style of playing or have no other way to play games.
Avowed (Series X) Really enjoying this game alot, I find it relaxing just exploring and doing the quests. Still doing side quests around Paradis before moving onto the main story. I believe I am level 7 right now. Really enjoying the combat and just learning about the world.
World of Warcraft Anniversary Classic (PC) Going to try and do a few dungeons tonight Wailing Caverns to be precise and maybe Shadowfang Keep OG. Been years since I have done either of them so it's going to be fun to see what I remember.
Sims 2 (PC) Mainly dinking around with this game but then again isn't that what Sims are all about.
I also would like to get back into Indiana Jones if I have time this weekend but we will see if I have time.
@NintendoByNature I use to get excited for the sales but now it's not even worth it at this point. I guess that's good cause that means I can get into my backlog.
I really don't follow the hype, because in all honesty it just ruins the game, because nothing ever lives up to the hype. Unless there is some huge game breaking bugs that make the game unplayable, then I am sure it will be just fine for me.
Doesn't matter to me, I never played the OG THPS4 so it won't bother me. I will be mainly playing 3 as that was my favorite and the one I put the most time in.
I am really enjoying what I have played so far. I am only 8 hours in ND only did the first quest cause there is so much to do and explore. This game fixed alot of problems I had with Skyrim, the biggest one encumbrance.
I am doing an Sword/Ax dual welding build with an arquebus as my other load out. Such a fun and satisfying build for me to play.
Avowed (Series X) Started this game a few days ago and I am loving it. I am not far into it been most just exploring the world. I Just got to Paradis and currently doing a dual welding axe and sword build.
The Sims 2 (PC) Still messing around with this game. It's mainly my chill game when I only have a bit of time to play a game.
World of Warcraft Classic Anniversary (PC) Still exploring the lands of Azeroth. I just arrived in Stonetalon Mountains with my Tauren Shaman.
Well guess its not a remaster of 3 and 4 otherwise they wouldn't say new parks. Kinda of disappointed by that but at least I still got my OG Xbox with a copy of THPS3.
@GuyinPA75 He would have been a good Marcus if they did a movie during his WWE days. Unfortunately now he lost alot of his muscle mass, which granted he did purposely but not only that his age may be a factor. Unless they do some CGI stuff to him.

Re: World Of Warcraft Plays Surprisingly Well On Xbox Thanks To GeForce Now
@FraserG That is interesting but I rather wait for a native version. It sounds like you can't raid unless you have a good connection.
Now the important question Fraser, Horde or Alliance 🤣

Re: Talking Point: What Other Bethesda Remakes Would You Like Xbox To Greenlight?
Would love to see a remake of Fallout 1 and 2.
Re: Alan Wake Remastered Free Copies Are Being Revoked By Xbox
I honestly think that's scummy of MS to do that a month later. It was their ***** up anyway so they should have let people keep the game.

Re: Here's What Might Be Leaving Xbox Game Pass In April 2025
Damn it's been a year since Eiyuden released. I need to get back to that game at some point but with Avowed taking up all my time.....
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 8-9)
More of the same for me this weekend.

I never understood the appeal of VPNs, unless you are doing something illegally.
Re: RoboCop: Rogue City Is Now Its 'Lowest Price Ever' On The Xbox Store
Such a good game and really hit that nostalgia spot especially if you grew up with the franchise like I did. Definitely a no brainer at $20.
Re: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 Set To Release This July For Xbox Series X|S
Really was hoping for a shadow drop today of 3+4. Oh well at least I have Suikoden coming out in a few days.
