Seeing as Diablo 4 is a Generation game for me that was an easy pick. Diablo is a top 3 gaming franchise all time for me. So i am just a little bit excited ..
Only final fantasy xvi, sorry.
Sonic origins plus day one and Layers of Fear looks interesting.
Other. Star Trek: Resurgence. 🖖
Does anybody know when Human kind is going to be brought out on Xbox? Should have been October or around abouts then last year but has been delayed since.
Almost voted for Katamari, but it being a remake I had to vote otherwise. But I've already pre-ordered it.
Street Fighter 6, obviously.
Other than that game, June this year is looking a bit empty in my opinion.
Katamari is obviously the only correct answer
nothing for me. dang.
Not exactly neck and neck lol. Surprised SF isn't more hyped tbh. Doesn't seem as big as it should be.
Nothing in that list is a must-play-at-launch for me, but I got plenty in by personal and GamePass backlog to keep me busy (if I do anything other than Zelda, I am still working my way through BOTW, want to also play Age of Calamity and, of course, TOTK.)
At some point I got to finish P4G…
I guess I have interest on Diablo 4, but I’m not paying $70 for any game, and by the time it gets a decent price cut MS might already own it and then I’ll just want to wait for it to hit GP. Plus this kind of game is always best after some post-launch content has been added.
D4, diablo is my all time favorite game series
I'm excited about Xbox hopefully becoming competitive again after the June showcase.
@Green-Bandit I splurged for the just for you offer $20 CDN for Diablo 2&3 bundle. Probably included in Gamepass eventually but too tempting.
@AlwaysPlaying Thats awesome, i really hope you enjoy them. They are addictive games when you are into chasing gear and stats. I loved the end game of D3 and Diablo 2 is a PC top 3 all time best game. I would find it hard for anyone to argue there’s been 4 to 5 better, long lasting games than D2. Can’t wait for D4, i got it preordered on Series X.
@gollumb82 I hope all they announce at the showcase is fifty seven new controller colors.
It’s an easy pick for me. Diablo IV is my most anticipated Series X game of the entire year. Closely followed by Forza Motorsport and Starfield.
@SplooshDmg
Haha. Careful what you wish for 😁 Seriously, though, this is basically a make or break kind of situation for my relationship with Xbox. If this showcase turns out to be a huge letdown I will just forget I ever owned an Xbox.
There are 2games in June which I'm excited for. Diablo will be my obvious choice of this list. Will spend a lot of hours with the Mrs on it. The other game is FfXVI but that can't be played on Xbox
Slayers x being on gamepass means it is probably the only one I play close to June but I wouldn't really say im bursting with excitement for it.
Probably most excited for Diablo but I plan on waiting for a sale. Wouldn't be surprised if I don't buy it until black Friday 2024.
I’m going to wait a bit to get Street Fighter 6 and Super Mega Baseball 4. The only game I might pick up next month is the physical copy of Sonic Origins Plus.
Diablo IV but also Aliens Dark Descent
Most excited for AEW Fight Forever on June 27th. Played WWF No Mercy for countless hours when I was a kid. Hoping it will be just as fun.
I played Diablo 2 and 3 sparingly, but the beta weekends made me stoked for Diablo 4. Street Fighter 6 also looks cool, but I'll wait for reviews. I'm still hoping AEW Fight Forever gets released in June as rumored.
Katamari, definitely. Always glad to see it have success, even if it’s a port instead of a new game.
But seriously between TotK and FF16, I’m unlikely to be playing Xbox anytime soon unless there’s a truly seismic title launching during the showcase. I’ve contemplated Diablo 4, but, let’s get real, Blizzard is not trustworthy. Diablo 4 comes two weeks after the single player Overwatch 2 content get cancelled. Talk about hype building, right there.
Not really excited for any...but I may buy Diablo 4 with my ms points if it gets the great reviews I expect ....never played a diablo game before...
@SplooshDmg story of seasons begs to differ
@mousieone I don't really get why you'd want to milk the cow when you could just roll it up instead.
@SplooshDmg why roll when you can play
@Imsocko
Same for me. I must've sunk hundreds and hundreds of hours into No Mercy back in the day.
Diablo IV closely followed by SF6 then Dordogne.
@mousieone Where I come from, we call milking cows work. However, when my pappy was a kid, he tells me they used to roll katamari's down a dirt road with a stick for fun.
Every single person I game with is getting Diablo which is such a rare event, I can't remember the last game with this amount of hype to my particular group of a few dozen. From my real life friends to old WoW guildmates I've stayed in touch with, no one is skipping it. I can't wait, and this is coming from someone who didn't even like Diablo 3 (but loved 2 and especially the original).
Is Diablo 1 still a good game to play or it's dated?
I want to play it
Not much in June for me. Never been a fan of Diablo or Street Figther. Still, this year started strong. In May and I’ve already had Dead Space, Metroid Prime Remastered, Hogwarts Legacy, Resident Evil 4, Horizon Burning Shores, Jedi Survivor and currently going through Tears of the Kingdom. With Starfield and Mortal Kombat 1 still to come, can’t complain much.
Diablo IV. Duh.
@SplooshDmg rolling everything into a Ball is work. Making friends with people and cows is fun.
Diablo is the only acceptable answer
@mousieone Making friends? I dunno know about that. Friends are kinda gross. Unless they're on the internet. They're okay that way.
@SplooshDmg I assure the friends in story of seasons are not gross. They’re cute and adorable like elves.
Diablo IV and Street Fighter VI are what I'm most looking forward to.
None of the above. Would have been Diablo 4 but an always connection is a deal breaker.
Loop 8 and FF16
@FraserG Can AEW Fight Forever be added now?
@Tasuki I'd say it's too late now unfortunately
@FraserG No problem. Cause that's what has my vote now!!
Can Music 2000 be added to Game Pass now EA own Codemasters
