Thanks for the memories Todd and Bethesda. Hopefully the next Elder Scrolls is not your last game. MS owns the Shadowrun IP. Would love to see their take on the cyberpunk genre.
@GuyinPA75 its more like dune civilization style of a strategy game. meaning there isn't really a story. its just expand, collect resources, upgrade, fight until you win the game 1 of 3 ways then rinse repeat. i liked it because im a big dune fan but the civ style of gameplay will limit your mileage.
This was all the stuff they were working on pre MS acquisition. Now let's see what they do from here on out. Would have loved a wow on gamepass announcement. Hopefully in time..
Never could get into poe for multiple reasons. Did not live up to the "bg spiritual successor" title. But maybe a bigger budget would help, I did like the setting.
@InterceptorAlpha your assuming that plan is still going through. Leaks were plans from 2020 pre covid. We will see though, controller is the most likely plan scrapped imo.
@XMadson Yes I have! Enjoyed it so much on gamepass I bought it. Not the best in terms of visuals or story, but it was still so addicting. Combat was top notch imo.
@Fiendish-Beaver the original creators of baldurs gate said that throne of bhaal(Bg2 expansion) was essentially bg3 since it ended the bhaal spawn storyline. So far with the larian bg3, the only real connection to the older games are returning characters like minsc and jaheria.
Classics. Too bad the new game will be nothing like these two. You cant even roll for stats or explore a world map. Its basically divinity with a d&d skin. Which is fine i guess, just dont get the gall to put a 3 at the end.
In one of xbox2 podcast, Jez said he leaked that wutang game too early and that it is no longer going to be xbox exclusive. I think it's the same for this. MS were in early talks with both these game to be xbox exclusive and fell through after Jez leaked both of them.
Would of preferred Sega. Not quite as big of a mobile presence as king but they do have one. Less of a headache as well. Doubt Sony would have batted an eye. Plus a new condemned would be great.
Does lady ironwood remind anyone of the lady of pain from planescape torment? Both tyrannical matriarchs who rule over their realm with an iron fist and go after anyone who disrupts the balance.
sure if your a graphics whore then this was a disappointment. Not every game needs to be visual masterpiece people. we have hellblade 2, forza, flightsim, and other first party games that push the visual department. this is a first person RPG by obsidian, if you were expecting hellblade 2 visuals then thats on you.
Everything that could be said has been said. I just would like them to make another attempt at a phantom dust remake. Also, try not to cancel it midway though development this time.

Re: Xbox's Matt Booty Suggests Hellblade 2 Will 'Come Later' In 2024
@OldGamer999 "public grabbers" / system sellers are a different thing to AAA game. AAA has to do with quality / budget nothing to do with reception.

Re: Persona 3 Portable & Persona 4 Golden Physical Xbox Editions Announced

Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Xbox Version Seemingly Pushed To 2024 Due To Series S 'Technical Hurdle'

Re: Xbox's ActiBlizz Deal Seems Closer, But Some Game Pass Arrivals Could Be Delayed

@Lastatopiny imagine coming to a xbox centric fan site complaining about someones xbox bias. Just let that sink in.

Re: Fable Looks Jaw-Dropping With First In-Game Trailer

Re: Xbox Adds Six More Game Pass Titles To June's 'Leaving Soon' List
I got so far in chorus, wish I finished. Very fun space dog fighting gameplay, story was a little over the top but still enjoyable.
Re: Talking Point: What 'Dream' Reveal Would You Like To See At The Xbox Games Showcase 2023?
Remake of phantom dust
Shadowrun done by inxile
Hexen by ID
Lost odyssey remaster or sequel
Re: Age Of Empires 1 Returns As DLC For Age Of Empires 2: Definitive Edition

I didn't know Microsoft was competing with Nintendo. Learn something new everyday, thx purexbox.
Re: Poll: Which Of These Is Your Favourite Arkane Title On Xbox Game Pass?
Prey for me. I found dishonored to be a little overrated. Haven't gotten to play deathloop or redfall yet so prey by default I guess.
Re: 'Chrono Odyssey' Is A Jaw-Dropping Fantasy RPG Launching On Xbox Series X And S
The term rpg is used so loosely nowadays.
