@FraserG just thought I should let you know there is a problem on the Xbox PC app with crimson desert you can't preload it currently. I have tried on the Xbox rog and two different pcs it just says error. I searched the Internet and found a lot of people with same problem.

@Fiendish-Beaver I'm with you on the denuvo thing. The truth is pretty simple they have a right to protect their investment a pirated game could result in tons of lost revenue. the side gamers never see or understand is if they lose whatever 20% Everytime big triple a games stop getting made because it would be unsustainable. It's like red light cameras I hate them but if it keeps me safe from an idiot charging through the intersection I can live with it.

@GuyinPA75 kinda a rough take. I like Todd is he perfect? No, but think about the games he's been involved in Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, Starfield ( I think starfield is a great game ). has he had some misses sure but so has Steven Spielberg, but his over all body of work has been pretty fantastic.

@Fiendish-Beaver I almost bought the pro yesterday but decided against it. do you like it? I just don't use my PlayStation 5 at all I guess I just prefer the Xbox controller and the series x by a country mile.

@Fiendish-Beaver I preordered it too. I have an MSI laptop with a 5080 so am excited for play anywhere. I think it will be fine on the console but my bases are covered.
the only stinky thing is now I kinda have a malaise and am having a hard time focusing on kynseed.

I'm playing wwe 2k 26 trying to wrap my head around the battle pass.
@FraserG kynseed plays awesome on rog Xbox it's a great indie game on steam I just started a new game on it. I have about 125 hours into it. it's a mix of fable star dew valley and other games very fun.

@FraserG I don't know if you want to do an article on this, but I bought the Monday night war edition and everything is locked behind the battle pass system. it's looking like 30 plus hours of grinding to unlock the nwo guys I want to use.

@Fiendish-Beaver I really want a morrowind remake. What was wrong with the oblivion remake i had a lot of fun in it.

do we think it will be an open world? none of the previous tables have really been. now I want to go play the first 3 lol

I'm pretty excited I hope they knock it out of the park.

fable is the game I anticipating the most to be honest. starfield was like that for me and other then all the loading screens starfield hit it out of the park for me. I'm hoping fable is as plucky as the first 2

idk I really like starfield it is one of my fav games. the terra morph quests are awesome the snake worshipers are about the best batshit crazy npcs you could cross. the loanshark quests were great. I really like the game.

I haven't played either 33 is probably right down my alley but if kcd2 is half the game the first one was it's hard to believe it lost our. kcd1 had for me some of the funniest well written quests I have ever played. Was it rough you bet but so worth it.

@ianners3 Honestly its like no one has seen the terminator movies. There is only what 50 of them they all end with killer robots. The AI thing has gone way to far I hate that microsoft has inserted it into word.
I think if its going to be involved in gaming by microsoft the first query should be copilot "how do we not run the xbox brand into the ground?" or maybe copilot "come up with a coherent strategy we can stick to for five years."
Thats what xbox should be doing with ai in gaming.

oblivion was delayed but came out pretty soon afterwards that was the game for me.

@somnambulance thanks for the info

@somnambulance hey I have always been very interested in the alan wake franchise. Should i start with one or the remake to get my foot into the door.

Playing some or al lot of EU 5 its so great might try stars reach for a bit also.

@FraserG I love mine right now I have been bouncing between BG3 and Rouge Trader on it. Bg3 i just stream and its great.

@Jenkinss sacred 2 i have it on disc

The pc download speed is amazing. Do a search starfield for example could take upwards of a day downloading from the pc app much faster now took less then an hour when i put it on the new rog.

@OldGamer999 @Kezelpaso So cloud is not working in the US it am trying to play BG3 on my xbox rog and it keeps wanting me to buy ultimate. I check my sub and it says I have ultimate but cant play any games that would use cloud.

@hbkay hey but nadella or whatever that morons name is probably thinks chatgpt can fix the problem

@Kezelpaso to anybody who wants a non staff opinion we have pretty detailed breakdown on it over on the forums. Could you link that here?

I don't replay to many. I have replayed Skyrim, Morrowind, and mass effect and the kotor series multiple times. Oh and oblivion and fallouts. shadowrun on the Genesis I have replayed a couple of times. really enjoying final fantasy tactics replay and enjoyed ogre battle replay.

@Questionable_Duck thanks

what's the game in the thumbnail?

@RiverGenie I really enjoyed 2. I actually liked it better than 1 to be totally honest.

@Banjo- that's awesome I didn't know they were remaking them all

so I hope they releases all the ones like sentinels of the stary sky, heavenly bride, and a few others I would buy them all.

@Fiendish-Beaver so my two friends do the same thing. we made an agreement a while ago that they play a separate save without me on most coop games and enjoy the ride with me. one of them has like 800k gamer score it's stupid crazy.

@Fiendish-Beaver I really didn't like 3 but one and two were so much fun and these reviews make it seem like it's back to its golden age. Several of my friends got it so I caved and bought it. The coop has been one of my fav gaming moments.

I really enjoyed 5 I thought the story was great especially the begining. one thing that made me laugh is a just the take on the survivalist religion aspects. I wondered if the non American game makers really think that's how it is here. 6 was dreadful still haven't played it. other then anno it's been awhile since I enjoyed an ubi game.

One and Two were some great times, but then they got into all that political bs and it just killed the fun for me. If they just stick to making a fun looter shooter without trying to force their values on me I might play it. I was so disappointed by the tina game and how in your face some of the stuff was that really had no place in a game.

@BacklogBrad lol my console reset had to start it back up from scratch. wasnt to bad but all my aps needed to be reauthorized.

@Blastfemur paradox doesn't care about backlash their still selling an expansion pass for a game that got abandoned by the dev and expansions are never coming for. they are kings of selling dlc too

@FredBiletnikoff couldn't agree more. I have all 3 systems and I'm sorry Xbox beats the pants of both Sony and Nintendo by a mile it may not even be that close in the controller department.

the way it is now is the best way. I use a rechargable pack I have 3 of them in total and can keep two on the charger and have a system for rotation it's so nice.

@FraserG @Titntin I have the rog ally x and its amazing I wasnt going to get this one but I think I have changed my mind being able to play adult games (cyberpunk) witht he kid in the room or just sitting next to him playing minecraft on tv and me on the little screen is great. Steam works flawlessly. Fraser the one thing I wish you guys would point out however is the microsoft home device idiocy policy of only being able to change 3 times a year and the windows device limit also. thats the one major downer.

@Ricky-Spanish man mafi 3 had the potential to be so good. it was terrible though. I thought the story was good or had potential I just didn't enjoy the game

the original sacred 2 on Xbox 360 is pretty awesome. playing the gothic stuff could be fun I imagine.

@gravelmonkey cyberpunk for me was like playing Morrowind for the first time. I haven't played the new expansion or since they changed how the skill tree works but it's such a good game

has anyone played the WWE 2k25 game that's the one I'm most interested in it's super duper version is on pretty big discount.

ummm fable ya none of the games on this list

maybe you guys should look at the last game they made then promptly abandoned. they made a game and sold future expansions then just stopped working on it empire of sin. the funny thing is with a little more work they game could have been pretty decent it was already fun.

seemed super interesting I'll def try it probably buy it just to support them

I thought the ogre battle remake was pretty awesome

what time frame is this in like modern day?

EA does this with every studio they buy. I can't think of one studio that has been better off after ea bought them. Maybe the Sims I guess the rest were basically ruined in short order.

The leveling system is a great improvement. really enjoying my time so far. there are still some comically broken quests like retaking kvatch. I had to do most of it solo as the NPCs got stuck but it tdid update when I found the count. the slaughter fish quest took awhile and a bunch of reloads but didi get it done. the single biggest improvement is not having to refresh the cache and the loading times if you do have to load an old save is just great.
