I use to love to snap a dubbed anime on since it didn’t require me to constantly watch the show like a subbed anime would and I could just glance over from time to time…I honestly prob wouldn’t have gotten through all one thousand episodes of One Piece otherwise
Sega is planning to launch a subscription service so I wouldn’t be surprised to see more of the Yakuza entry’s to be leaving…same reason why they delisted the Genesis collection from the storefront a few months ago
I’m working through Tales of Arise which I should be able to finish before it leaves GP next week…I def won’t have time for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night so I’ll pick that one up and the DLC while there both on deep discount
It’s a victimless crime unless Microsoft stops making hardware as an eventual result and then ur gonna have a few million victims with digital libraries and no modern console to play them on.
I’ve been with Xbox since the OG release so I’m definitely in it for the long haul…for better or worse I’m on this roller coaster with Uncle Phil to the bitter end, let’s rise to new heights of greatness or crash and burn spectacularly…either way it should be an interesting ride
The last time I played a Ninja Gaiden game was decades ago on the SNES and it was balls hard…I decided to start playing through the games in the Ninja Gaiden Master Collection to brush up on things before jumping into this new entry lol
Man I’m so stoked for every one of these games…im def gonna be playing all of them…Microsoft really is starting to nail this release cadence of delivering us a big quality new release almost monthly for GP users
I may have played this one back in the day cause it sounds very familiar but tbh there have been so many bad Star Wars games over the years they all start to meld together into one long retro gaming nightmare
I don’t even think it’s a matter of the games not tech selling well…I think that publishers have ridiculous quotas and think every single game has to be a massive hit or it “doesn’t meet expectations”
Microsoft will be lucky if they can keep the 35 million GP subs they have nonetheless triple that number by 2030? And where are these subs gonna come from…what’s that old saying “u can’t get blood from a stone”
As for the developer direct fourth mystery game…I don’t see how Ecco the Dolphin has “decades of history” but I could see how a sequel could align with Sega’s future plans to revitalize old IP’s like Crazy Taxi, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Jet Set and more
I guess beating this in an hour or so and then getting the auto refund from Microsoft for having less then 2 hours of play time would kinda be a jerk move lol
As much as I hate Ubisoft I’ve always had a soft spot for the AC games so I hope they deliver…plus February is a pretty stacked month for releases it’s prob safer to push it till March
@OldGamer999 yea the Switch 2 is suppose to feature DLSS so even tho it’s only suppose to offer PS4 level power with the upscaling it should be able to handle current gen games much more easily…the current Switch uses some type of Nvidia chip but does not feature DLSS
I kno only one new game for Ultimate is kind of a bummer but after Day 1 releases of big games like Stalker 2, COD Blops 6 and Indiana Jones this is the result of that and there is some required cost off setting to do to keep the service viable without a price increase
I’ll have to remember to just leave a Gamepass game running for 15 mins even if I’m not trying to play it per se for these rewards…I’ll actually prob set a phone reminder daily to do it so I don’t forget since there is a streak multiplier involved and I’ll inevitably forget one day otherwise lol
Whenever it releases I’ll def get it if only for the fact that I’ve owned every Xbox console since the OG Xbox…this new console is almost sure to be that last Xbox console so at the very least I’ll be able to have experienced every iteration of Xbox over its lifetime
I know everyone likes to use there points for free Gamepass but u can already get a month of Ultimate for $7 from the CD Key sites so I’ve been saving all my points (around 150,000 right now) for the release of the next Xbox gen and then I’m gonna use them all for a massive discount on whatever the new console will be (if they even do a new console lol jk)
Well its a list for sure a Games of the Year one? Ehh that’s debatable especially order wise…now of course listing anything is subjective by nature so I’ll end things with that (On a side note I got Balatro on my iPhone as well so I can get that dopamine hit on the go now lol)
New World Aeternum was a lot of fun (especially compared to there awful PC release years ago) and going thru the story I got a good 60 hours out of it but once u finish and hit max level the end game sucks so be warned lol
I was able to get this and Battlefield 1 no problem but was anyone able to get the Skate 3 DLC Danny’s Hawaiian Dream they were giving away as the day 2 freebie? Cause I wasn’t it kept showing up full price for me
I’m all for whatever Xbox wants to do…I’ve been with them since the OG Xbox and I’m willing to ride it out till they crash and burn or evolve into a better version of themselves…that said I also have been with Playstation since the PS2 and Nintendo since the SNES religiously buying both there hardware so it’s not like my entire gaming library rests just on them lol
