I was introduced to Xbox by a friend who had an original Xbox. At the time I had a PS2 and GameCube so I couldn't afford another console so my friend and I would trade off who's house we'd go to on our days off. My house we would play the likes of Soul Calibur 2 on GameCube, due to Link being in it and Tekken 4 on PS2 and at his house it would be the likes of Halo.
I actually didn't own an Xbox till the 360 Era due to Sony's ridiculous pricing on the PS3. So I got a 360 to play games like GTA IV.
World of Warcraft Classic (PC) Continuing the grind on my Tauren Shaman. I just hit level 25 and I am starting to feel pretty powerful lol.
The Sims (PC) Messing around mainly still trying to do a no cheat run but I am starting to get tempted to do the money code.
Indian Jones and the Great Circle (Series X) Working on Siam which I find somewhat annoying but it's mainly because the boat travel. Storywise it's still great. Just navigate this damn boat is annoying.
Madden 25 (Series X) Well now that football season is over I need something to tide me over till the UFL starts and with this being on Gamepass....
I might also play some Diablo this weekend as I have the itch too just trying to figure out which one.
The Sims (PC) I forgot how addicting this game can be. I am trying to do a playthrough without cheats.
World of Warcraft Classic (PC) Continuing my journey across Azeroth. Currently in Ashenvale. Level 23 Tauren Shaman.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (Series X) Finally finished with Giza and now I am in Siam. The story is really picking up now and I am enjoying it alot.
The Sims (PC) Been wanting to play this game again for a long time. Imagine how excited I was to hear that they were re releasing it. So of course I bought it.
World of Warcraft Classic (PC) I made it to Ashenvale with my Tauren Shaman, a new zone for me to explore.
@Elbow. As long as you have PCs Sony and Nintendo aren't going to dictate the market and if Microsoft stops making consoles someone else will be there. Did Sony and Nintendo dictate the market when Sega left? This whole Doom and gloom for MS putting a game on another console is over exaggerated.
World of Warcraft Classic (PC) Still going through the Barrens on my Tauren Shaman, I forgot how long this zone takes to run through everything. Currently level 18. I might run some Ragefire Chasm tonight if I can find a group.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (Series X) Just about done with Giza. I just have a few ancient relics to collect then I just need to finish up the main quest line to proceed. Still really enjoying this game.
@FraserG Is there any clue as to what games become deals for you? Is it based off of your purchase history or games you play often or something else completely random?
@Gabrielmpf Right the reviewer was thinking it was going to be like a CoD campaign Doom, or Wolfenstein just because it was first person. Obviously they ignored the fact that it's a Bethesda game and never played Skyrim or Fallout 4.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (Xbox Series X) Finally wrapped up The Vatican and now I moved on to Giza. I am really enjoying this story alot and just the general gameplay. It really makes me want to explore everywhere.
World of Warcraft Classic (PC) Still messing with this just enjoying the journey on my Tauren Shaman.
Ken Griffey Jr Presents Major League Baseball (Super NT) Got the Baseball itch again so will be playing a few games of my season this weekend currently 85 and 35.
@Ilyn To be honest if those players left it wouldn't hurt my feelings at all. Truthfully the game needs to go back to what brought it to the dance, community, and exploration not min-maxing for raids and elitist raiders.
@Ilyn Nah that's a misconception that you need the add-ons to make WoW enjoyable. I have been playing WoW for off and on for 20 years and never used an add on and still enjoy the game to it's fullest. The idea that you have to have add-ons is just some B.S. that elitists use to scare away casual players and quite frankly is sickening. Anyone who believes that you need add ons just either can't play the game without having their hand held or are just a gatekeeper who are trying bully others.
I don't know ow what's stopping them from putting WoW console. Yeah I know they couldn't put current retail WoW on console due to 20 years of coding and all that but a version of WoW Classic or even WoW Remix would be great. They actually have mods on PC now that make it so you can use a controller so I know that's not stopping them besides I don't know about PS5 but Series X there are some games that you can use keyboard and mouse. So what's the hold up Blizz, make it happen.
So I am confused does this mean you can't play FH3 without an internet connection just like The Crew? Or is it only certain things you won't be able to access?
@jedinite Funny thing is most mobile gamers now aren't even that. They are indeed some dedicated gamers in their own way. As many hours and thought that you put into something like Indy they put that same amount of time and energy into mobile games. Nowadays they are just as much as a gamer as people who play on PC and console.
@Gagihunterbb You have to a card on file, or some form of payment to claim it. It's been that ways for me at least for all of the games. You won't be charged though.
@Decimateh @Fiendish-Beaver I think it's random people or something. The other day Battlefront 2 wasn't free for me but was for others instead it was some Sims 4 DLC. I think it depends on your gaming history or something.
Unless they fixed the hacker problem with Multiplayer I probably will pass on this one, no reason to play it if the main reason for playing this game is all hacked to *****.
Battlefront 2 was not free for me and I am a UGP member. The only thing that was free for me so far was Battlefield 1 and some stuff for Sims 4. Is it different for each person?
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (Series X) Continuing my gmae this weekend, currently I am still in the Vatican tieing up lose ends.
XDefiant (Series X) playing this one with the boys checking out the newest update which is bittersweet. R.I.P. XDefiant another victim of Ubisoft's careless missmangement.
World of Warcraft Classic (PC) Tackling the Barrens this weekend on my Tauren Shaman. There's just something I find relaxing with classic WoW.
@Stoned_Patrol According to Mark Rubin they had everything for the first year done. So you can kind of see that this month was going to be season 3 Assassins then you figure February or March would have been Wolves. I am guessing year two, which would have been May/June, would have been Blood Dragon which is probably why they only have one character for that faction as Mark Rubin said they were just starting with year 2. And since their planing to end the game in June they just shoved everything that they had finished now.
This game was meant to have a first person view. If it went third person it would just be a other boring Assassins Creed style game. I think going first person was the right choice and really captures the whole Indy vibe they were going for.
@BAMozzy I know that Black Ops 2 is notorious for hackers being able to reset your stats and even able to mess with the console itself so yeah not a good idea for MS to release those unless they fixed the exploits which I doubt they will. Of course who knows they could just make the campaigns available on Gamepass.

Very well deserved. I am still enjoying it and it's one of the few games that I want to 100%. Definitely my GotY for 2024.

Re: Talking Point: What Would You Want From A New Batman Game?
@somnambulance I really enjoyed Batman Brave and the Bold on Wii.
Re: Talking Point: What Would You Want From A New Batman Game?
The biggest thing with a new Batman is who will voice Batman since Kevin Conroy passed.
Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon In February 2025
@Millionski Would be nice to get HotS on console but that doubt it will happen. As it is the game is in maintenance mode on PC.
Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon In February 2025
More then likely will give Avowed a try at least once I am finished with Indy.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Delayed Again, This Time To March 2025
After what Ubisoft did to XDefiant they ain't getting a dime from me. They can delay this game indefinitely and go under for all I care.

Re: Ubisoft Releases Final Major Update For XDefiant, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Kinda of bittersweet this update. I can't help but wonder if they would have released it sooner would they still be shutting this game down.
My only hope if the Ubisoft buyout rumors are true is that whoever does end up buying them maybe they will continue XDefiant.
