Halo Infinite has sat on my backburner for so long but I've heard its in a much better place, so going to finally give it a go, campaign and then multiplayer.
And still plugging away at Cyberpunk 2077 with the 2.0 update leading to Phantom Liberty, making steady progress there.
And then there's Super Mario Wonder and Dave the Diver, who are also calling my name. So many good games right now. What a time to be alive.
It's pretty much the realization of what they had originally promised the game would be. Bravo to the team at CD Projekt Red for pushing through. Their hard work is appreciated.
I feel like this is the least optimal way to try out the game, but it is what it is and I guess if you have a strong enough connection it might be something worth trying, but considering how often you have to go in and out of menu screens and transitions from one place to the next, I would expect this to run real sluggish and look pretty choppy for most individuals.
Downloaded Medieval Dynasty on Game Pass and what a fun game. Think Skyrim meets Stardew Valley. Also, just the most pretty and chill environment to be inside of for a while. Feels good to also slowly build something and watch it come to fruition. It's a game with a bit of grind but the kind that makes you smile and feel good.
This looks like a really fun 6 or 7 out of 10. I'd pick it up on a deep sale or even better, give it a download if it hits GamePass. But for now, the price is a bit too high. Action looks great but so much of the world feels kind of dull and empty and I've heard the enemy design is not very varied, so its a no from me, but still open to it down the road.
Is this game worth the download? I've only heard negative things with regards to the protagonist being far too chatty and annoying. I'm intrigued by the world but just wondering if I should even bother.
I know its a decision the developers have made but the one thing keeping me from clicking with this game is that there's no manual jump button that I can press when I want to jump, its automatic, and it just feels very off and wrong, especially in a Zelda-like. Maybe I'm just spoiled by so many modern games, but this just doesn't vibe with me.
Game looks beautiful though! Hope everyone playing enjoys their time.
Picked up Control: Ultimate Edition and think I might jump into that, but I just hit the Bloody Baron quest-line in Witcher III and it looks so pretty with the next-gen-patch. Too many games, not enough time.
@all3forever Absolutely agree that Control: Ultimate Edition is worth every penny. I double-dipped since I've only recently joined current-gen on a new Xbox Series X. Great recommend.
Season 1 of Diablo 4 is fast approaching, going to go back to that since I've been preoccupied playing Witcher III. But if I'm being honest, I'll probably go back to Witcher III because I just love being in that world and hearing the wind howl and fighting nekkers is just too much fun.
Not a fan of Hogwarts Legacy (dull and uninspired gameplay IMO) and Hi-Fi Rush was too corny for me to stick with, couldn't get beyond the character's voice acting. Diablo IV is eating up all my game time lately. With a dash of Forza Horizon 5.
10. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor 9. Monster Hunter Rise 8. Hogwarts Legacy 7. Age of Empires II Definititive Edition 6. Dead Space 5. Hi-Fi Rush 4. Persona 4 Golden 3. Street Fighter 6 2. Diablo IV 1. Resident Evil 4
It's still kind of hell. There's a version listed on Game Pass that does not have the X/S that this article indicates we should download (which is a pay version), and that non X/S version is unclear if its the optimized version of the game at 85 GB? I think its just the story-mode that doesn't include the GTA V Online. So many versions and such hell.
Just bought an Xbox and have game pass but unsure which version to download? Is the next gen update version the 85 GB one I can download? Or do I have to get the one that says Xbox One and Series X/S edition? Too many versions and confused. Please help LMAO

Re: Hands On: The Crew Motorfest Puts Ubisoft's Open World Racer On The Map
This franchise never really clicked for me. But Forza Horizon is the perfect middle ground of simulation and arcade, for me at least.
