Topic: Now Playing on Xbox Series X|S

@Tasuki
Sounds like a fun experiment. Let me know how it goes. Yeah, I'm happy the product was as advertised and not a WWE 2K clone. Tired of that formula a long time ago, partly because I tired of WWE as a product in general.

@Gamer83 I know exactly what you mean. I think I stopped watching WWE like in 2015 or so a few years before AEW came out. Then I was watch NJPW to get my wrestling fix. I still follow WWE main cause I see it on my social media feeds but I still shake my head at their decisions.

Got Street fighter 6 with a chunk of reward points . Enjoying it so far. Was saving em for Forza 8, but due to always online shenanigans will play that on GP. I am crap at online at fighters but if any of you guys play it giz a shout.

I'm finally trying out fable. It's a little quirky, but im fitting the hang of it. Combat is a teeny bit clunky too. I'll stick this one out.

I'm playing through Ghostwire Tokyo and enjoying my experience with it. I'm trying to complete as much as I can on collectables and side quests so it is taking way longer than if I was just sticking to the main story.

@NintendoByNature was it anyversary edition? It is definitely a product of its time but I enjoyed it a fair bit. For me the second aged the worst as it runs terrible on series systems (bad frame rate and terrible motion blur)

@Balta666 it was the anniversary. I played about 2 hrs, got to a point where i couldn't progress the story, go to a previous save, or fast travel. So I would've had to trek back to guild or other location. It kind of annoyed me so I put it down for a while. Might come back at some point, not sure.

@Tasuki
Creative over there definitely is a mixed bag. Around 2011 I had started to enjoy WWE again for the first time in a long while, then it just became garbage again over the few years after that and I stopped watching around 2014. Don't watch AEW all the time either, mostly because of my work schedule, but I do find it far more interesting than anything else out there and tune in whenever I get the chance. Have never watched NJPW but always heard good things about it.

@Gamer83 So, yesterday I introduced some friends and family to Fight Forever and it was a blast, it was like we were playing the old N64 wrestling games. A few of my friends don't play games to much anymore, but they were able to pick up and play the game and enjoy the time with it. We did a few Casino Battle Royal matches and a few Tag matches as well and had a blast. Definitely was like old times again. To top off a the night we ended up switching over to GoldenEye for a bit of that!!

@Tasuki
Cool. I haven't had too many multiplayer gaming sessions since Halo 2 when I was in college but glad you and your friends enjoyed playing AEW together. I thought in single player it did bring back the spirit of the old N64 games but yeah, the real test for it long term is how the multiplayer aspect will be viewed. From what I can tell so far, it seems positive, fun factor is definitely there.

@Gamer83 Yeah I don't get many multiplayer opportunities either, mainly holidays it seems when I have friends and family over. Yeah definitely the fun factor was there and as I said alot of them don't game much anymore but they did enjoy their time with it.

Fight Forever isn't going to change the world of wrestling games but it definitely gives you that old school wrestling game feeling that WWE games seem to have forgotten.

So I've moved onto Tomb Raider Definitive Edition. So far, so good.

@NintendoByNature one of my favourite games ever and still the best in the reboot triology imo.

@Balta666 its been really great so far. Haven't played these ones yet, so it's great to finally dive in.

Hey, can someone please help me out ASAP? Is CoD WW2 frequently discounted on the US Xbox store, or not really? Now it is at $20, but I don't know if it is safe to let the opportunity pass by or not. Thx

@RDDMarston
Few times a year I believe. It won't be cheaper though.

@RDDMarston Not really. Your better of buying a physical copy from somewhere like Gamestop as it is always on sale there. Activision usually keeps the CoD games at regular price and once in awhile they go on sale. It's crazy that they still want $60 for games like the original Modern Warfare and Black Ops.

Also becareful with older CoD games. If you are buying it to play the single player campaign that's fine but Multiplayer is a complete mess. It's full of hackers and it puts your information at risk. Stuff like your IP address and payment information. If you want to play multiplayer, you will be better off waiting for XDefiant or getting Modern Warfare II.

@Tasuki Thanks for the info. Yes, I am really only looking for campaign. Yes, it is INSANE that we pay $70 for a CROSS-GEN and SUPER hyped game like Modern Warfare II, but want us to pay $60 for a game five years ago! Sounds absurd from their behalf... I will say that they could be making more money. Activision, by making older games always on sale could definitely grab a hold of those who have not played these games before or want to play them again. Charging MSRP is absurd. Like a CoD game from the Xbox 360 at $30? What? I can get a copy of the same game at Lukiegames for my Xbox 360 at less than $5!
Anyways... so it is better to take a hold of the offer? I recently purchased a Series S, so I can only get my stuff online. If it is so that only once in a while there are discounts, I can brace myself on other games and buy this one instead.
I have been told that RDR2 gets on discount more often. Do you have any idea of how often (ex. 3 weeks)? I've been holding up my purchase money in hopes that next week it gets on sale... what if it doesn't get to $20, and that would be above my gaming budget, especially for a 5-year old game.
Thanks.

@Fanat1c Do you have any idea about how often RDR2 gets on sale in US? Like 3 week period or more?

Hey, so Let's say I buy Red Dead Online. Can I later buy RDR2 Story Mode by itself later on? I see a listing for only the story mode in the Xbox Store (laptop) for $39.99 on regular price. Can I buy RDR2 Story Mode alone on the Xbox store on my Xbox Series S? I noticed this game does not have Smart Delivery unfortunately...
