Agreed.

And then there's those who somehow and someway believe that there's no such thing as an Xbox Tax when you can see it almost everyday.

Best part is how people believe Xbox is dead or will die for the millionth time yet has been more successful revenue and profit wise than ever before.

Yep.

Like clockwork, every week, the same old articles, arguments and debates around Game Pass. Can't wait to see Ybarra and Layden chime in for like the billionth time.

Shit is so fucking tiresome.

If I had to guess, I would say only Halo 3 since it's the only Microsoft published game that went past 10m. This is why I always disagree that Game Pass decreases game sales for Microsoft's published games because they didn't sell when Xbox was at their peak so why they sell now?

The list for Xbox would be pretty much the same. 10+ COD games since it was marketed to Xbox 360, a few Rockstar games and a few others rounding out the list.

Borderlands 4?

Would prefer the entire game to be real time combat. Tried out the Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter demo on PS5 and really enjoyed it all except for the turn based combat which im not into as much as I am with real time combat. This was the first Trails game (demo) I have ever played.

Either way, Microsoft is dominating with their multi-platform direction. Why go nuts trying to get people to come to you when you can go to them instead.

I'm assuming that this is Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. If not, I wonder what it could be.

The Outer Worlds 2 by far with Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 campaign second and Ninja Gaiden 4 third.

For me -

2024 - Dragon Age: The Veilguard
2023 - Starfield (my current game of the generation)
2022 - God of War Ragnarok
2021 - Halo Infinite (campaign)
2020 - Ghost of Tsushima

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 as of now with Doom: The Dark Ages being second.

Completed it last weekend in just over 18 hours. Great 8.5/10 for me personally. Reminded me a lot of Kena: Bridge of Spirits which I loved so that was a good thing. Combat is the weakest aspect of the game because while it's good, it's basic and has camera issues. Everything else is excellent.

Three chapters in, South of Midnight is great in all aspects except the combat itself. There's a delay/lag when pressing buttons especially the LB button on Xbox Series X. Other than this, im enjoying everything else. Platforming feels really good though.

Nice!

I'm around 50 hours in and still have a ways to go. lol

I would be surprised if Metroid Prime 4 isn't the big showcase game for the Switch 2 Direct and the big launch title for the hybrid console itself.

None of it made any sense to begin with. Rock wants Cody to be HIS champion? What is Dwayne doing? Buying AEW? SMH. Then he wants his soul? Like, WTF?

Then shows that they're friends and their moms are friends too? NONE of it makes any sense.

Cody vs Punk SHOULD be the main event at WM XLI.

Xbox Series X. Game Pass Ultimate. Premium Edition Upgrade.

Currently over 57 hours into Avowed and around 6 hours into Shatterscarp. Story and characters are good but it's the combat/gameplay/parkour/exploration that stands out for me personally.

Looks great and really looking forward to playing South of Midnight when it releases in April.

I don't see Microsoft showing any of their published games in a Sony show/event. It will be a tweet, blog post or on a Keighley show.

Looking forward to checking out the previews and the game in April!!

Nothing. Just waiting on Avowed early access this Thursday.

Not only did the opposite happen but Eagles defensive line dominated the Chiefs offensive line and Mahomes. It was glorious. :)

Agreed.

Avowed, South of Midnight, Towerborne, Doom: The Dark Ages, Ninja Gaiden 4, COD 2025, The Outer Worlds 2 and Fable!!

Stacked freaking year for Microsoft and Xbox!!!

Great show. Will be playing all five games shown via Game Pass on Xbox Series X. Sadly, can't start Ninja Gaiden 2 Black until Saturday due to work. :(

Agreed. So many games that I want to play and so little time. Thankfully, Microsoft is finally spreading out the games so I can have the time to play through each one. Hyped!!!

Really looking forward to Avowed as it will be the first new release of 2025 that I play. Can't wait!! Less than six weeks to go!!

I don't think Indiana Jones is similar to Tomb Raider because Tomb Raider is much more action oriented. Puzzles can be seen as being the same with Tomb Raider having more platforming. I think Indiana Jones being a slower paced game is the opposite of the same. Same would be Uncharted/TR.

Indiana Jones is a great adventure game. Machine Games nailed the look and feel of being Indiana Jones. I rated it an 8.5/10 overall. The puzzles, set pieces, exploration, main story, side quests, etc. are all excellent. Combat is the weak point. It's good but this game isn't action oriented.

Great news for both games. Hoping both get sequels!!!

Astro Bot is an excellent game. Hoping for a sequel in a few years.
