Re: Talking Point: Have You Ever Bought An Xbox For One Specific Game?

darkswabber

The brand in general for Fable yeah.
Although it’s now mainly for Forza.
I mainly play on PlayStation and Nintendo.

EDIT: I’m not a fan of most xbox IPs pre current gen but Microsoft bought a bunch of stuff I usually bought on PlayStation and Nintendo, I guess I play those specifically on xbox now.

Heck I bought the XSX for 2 reasons. Gamepass and MS buying bethesda.

Re: Pick One: Which Franchise Do You Prefer, Red Dead Or GTA?

@Hedphelym should’ve explicitly called it RDR in that case if they consider RDR and Revolver 2 seperate franchises.
Eitherway Revolver’s story, characters and setting are directly referenced in the 2 redemption games. Revolver is by the same people. The franchise is clearly Red Dead, not RDR. No reason to excuse a clear mistake as, and excuse my paraphrasing, “well clearly it’s a different franchise and that was clearly implied here”

I beat Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective on Switch a few days ago and it was amazing, cried a bit at the end. I’m currently playing Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney which is great too, just started the 4th episode.

Pre installed Starfield on my Xbox Series X which I finally found my cautious hype for again. Don’t trust Microsoft anymore TBH but I still really hope Starfield and Forza Motorsport 8 will hit it out of the ballpark.

On Ps5 it’s just Fortnite this week, finishing up some quests before the next season releases on friday. Although I’m strongly debating on starting Horizon: Forbidden West.

Beat Catherine Full Body and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening on the Switch the past week.

I’m currently playing DC SuperHero Girls: Teen Power and I’m meaning to play Ghost Trick next.

I’m also finally back from vacation to France so I’m planning on playing Herc’s adventure on Ps5 and A Short Hike on Xbox Series X

Also will finish up Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 before the next season in 2 weeks.

Beat Final Fantasy I, II and III last week on Switch without any knowledge about 2 and 3 and with minor knowledge about 1, alongside a replay of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and a blind playthrough of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intermission on Ps5.

Started Bayonetta on Switch which I don’t know anything about beyond having played chapter 1 and 2 on WiiU years ago.

Might start Final Fantasy IV after.

I beat Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition last saterday on Ps5 and I’m currently replaying Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade.

I’m also still playing Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 Wilds on my Switch and Ps5 with friends.

Lastly I’m thinking of starting Final Fantasy VII Remastered and/or Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion on the Switch.

Need to beat the 5 Royal Reverie levels of We Love Katamari Reroll after that I’m done with the remake.

I’m still playing Fortnite WILDS, bought the Air Max Airie skin and the Ciri and Yennefer skins from The Witcher

Beyond that I was thinking about starting Final Fantasy VI or Final Fantasy VII through the Pixel Collection

I also just placed an order for Bloodstained: Circle of the Moon Chronicles, The Ace Attorney Trilogy, Katamari Damacy Reroll and Ghost Trick at Play-Asia so that’s exciting.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 17-18)

I started playing We Love Katamari Reroll + Royal Reverie on my Switch. It looks amazing on the OLED and it’s clear the game was remade instead of remastered (played the original last year).
I also finally recieved Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters from Play-Asia.

Besides that I’m playing Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 WILDS on my ps5 and switch and I’m playing the Metal Slug Anthology on my psp.

Re: Random: Remember When Don Mattrick Told Us All To Buy An Xbox 360 In 2013?

@Wheatly ps5 and switch play games out of the box without internet.
99% of games work without day 1 patches. They might be a bit more buggy but it’s no worse than games pre when patches where a thing.
Xbox needs 1 online update after which it can play all games offline right from the disc.

The “games don’t work without internet acces and patches” myth needs to die.

@nomither6 @Solidchief it was great. Preferred it over R&C2016 but didn’t like it as much as R&C Rift Apart. (The 3 games I played).

The weapons where really fun and you can see how much insomniac loves ToD too seeing how Rift Apart is one giant reference fest towards ToD (and from what I understand, Into the Nexus).

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 6-7)

Just beat Ratchet & Clank Tools of Destruction this morning on ps3 after beating Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart the past week on ps5. Also reached level 100 in Fortnite and beat Ghostwire: Tokyo.

Might play Redfall on the Xbox Series X but I also surprised my friendgroup with a NSO+EP Family Plan on my cost so we can play stuff like Mario Kart 64 and GoldenEye together.

I beat Theatrhythm Final Bar Line last week on the Switch and I’m currently playing Hogwarts Legacy on the ps5. Not enjoying HL as much as I would’ve hoped TBH.

Probably gonna start Metroid Prime Remastered later today and finally play the only Forza Horizon game I’ve never played now that I found a physical copy of Forza Horizon 2 on the Xbox One.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 11-12)

Played and beat Gargoyle’s Quest, Mario Kart Super Circuit and Wario Wario Inc. Microgame$! the past week.

Currently still squeezing everything possible out of the Theatrhythm Final Bar Line Demo. Already out 14 hours into it.

Also still playing Hatsune Miku Project Diva F on vita and Hatsune Miku Project Diva Future Tone on ps5.

Probably gonna play The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap next.

@Auglicious it does definitely make sense. Sony owns the bloodbourne IP just like they own demon’s souls, beyond two souls, detroit become human, heavy rain, journey and death stranding.

Also FIY bloodbourne was a co development job between fromsoftware and the sony owned sony japan studios. Something people never point out when this argument is brought up.

Started playing Harvestella on the Switch after finally beating Persona 5 Royal but wasn’t in the mood TBH so I moved on to Super Mario 3D World which I almost beat already so I’ll be playing Bowser’s Fury after.

Might start Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, Gran Turismo 7 or Horizon Forbidden West on my PS5 after.

I also still have High On Life left on the Xbox Series X.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 14-15)

I’m almost done with Persona 5 Royal and will probably either start Kirby and the Forgotten Land or River City Girls after.

Besides that I’m thinking of starting Gran Turismo 7. I also still have to finish High On Life and I have a lot of battlepass rewards left in Fortnite.

It’s a quiet month before February with Like a Dragon: Kiwami Ishin, Theathrythm Final Fantasy Final Bar Line, Octopath Traveler 2 and Hogwarts Legacy.

Re: Pick One: Which Is The Best Xbox Game Studios Release Of The Past Two Years?

I bought the series X as my first fully-meant-to-be-played-a-lot xbox after only owning the original xbox for a very brief period of time. Bought it with the intention to play halo, fable and gears but I fully fell in love with the Forza Horizon series after playing 5 at launch. Played through 1, 3, 4, 5 and both expansions of 4 now so my vote definitely went to FH5.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 5-6)

After beating Forza Horizon 4 and its 2 expansions recently I’ve decided to start playing Forza Horizon 3. Sadly the expansions for 3 have been delisted.

Also beat Super Mario Bros 2, Super Mario Bros 3 and Kirby’s Dreamland 3 in the past week so I started playing Kirby 64 a few days ago.

And like always some Fortnite.
