Topic: Pure Xbox Game Club - On Indefinite Hiatus

@PeaceSalad Like you games take me much longer. I'm convinced that people grossly underestimate how long games take them to play for HLTB, but as they do this for all games it's still a useful guide.

But then again my flatmate used to see if he could run through every combat encounter unless he was forced to fight and played in record times. So perhaps there are more weirdos like him (or me)

Good luck on the recruitment drive!

I know for me speaking games take alot of time for me to complete. With family a 40hour a week job, commuting to said job, plus then dividing my free time to other things like stuff that needs done around the house to playing multiple games to multiple TV shows I am lucky if I can get 4 hours a week to myself for gaming.

I don't see how people nowadays can play these massive 80+ hour games. I just come to the conclusion that most who do are single and don't have such a demanding job like I do.

But I am getting off track here even something like a 4 hour game takes me several days to finish, that is if I just don't drop it because of time.

Actually the hltb main +extras tends to be very close to my time (on a +/-1h) with a few exceptions like for example Nine Sols which the bosses were destroying me (and taking several hours each) and when I gave up with 3 bosses lefts and decided to lower the level to finish the story I was already over the time estimated.

I am happy to keep contributing as I can. I have played some of those but definitely not all.

@themightyant That’s pretty impressive haha kudos to your flatmate. I think I may have tried cheesing sections to trigger a checkpoint in the past in higher difficulties.

@Tasuki Your situation, I think, is shared with many in here. I find myself accepting that I can only use my time for one hobby or interest when I do get time to myself and that others will just have to be neglected for the time being. Time is so limited these days I think however we proceed needs to reflect that and respect it. You might not be able to partake every month but if we continue to pool sub 10 hr games there may be something that piques interest in a few people.

@Balta666 Let’s see how it plays out friend, it may be less stress if we pool our resources though. Thanks for all you’ve done up to this point 👍

Hello everyone!

I’ve nabbed Balta’s most recent tag list, please excuse the ping but I would just like to know if you would be interested in a revamped club in the near future? Either reply in the affirmative or if you have no interest any longer please ignore this post. I’ll do a tally in two weeks time 👍

Thanks

I would be interested. Really struggling to find motivation to play games atm (bouncing from game to game with no real progression).
Was thinking about hunting trophies and achievements again, but I recalled that making it worse lol

I would be interested. Glad somebody is taking up the mantle.

Not sure if they still do it, but in the Patient Gamer sub reddit, they pick a short and long game of the month.
Maybe something to think about here. Other thing to maybe consider is semi-merging the Xbox and Playstation Game Clubs together. Linking to each other as I know there are a few of us using both sites.

I would be interested, although due to familiy commitments and such, my participation may be intermittant, as I don't get a great deal of time to game these days

I am interested in keep going 😀

I can keep going. I was just busy in January with Visions of Mana which is a long game along with playing DQ3 on switch. Thanks for taking the charge.

I'd be interested in a revamp!

@PeaceSalad Sure! I’d like that. I might not have time to play in it all the time but I’d still like to see everyone’s thoughts and opinions.

If we're picking February games, I'll toss a vote out for the new gamepass drop, Ninja Gaiden 2 black. I haven't played any of the modern ninja gaiden games. I hear they're tough, but I'm willing to check it out in anticipation of 4.

I'm looking to clear a few shorter sub-10 hour games off my backlog so i'll throw in As Dusk Falls, Road 96 & Return to Monkey Island

@HelloCraigo @NintendoByNature @Tasuki @PeaceSalad @Balta666 @themightyant @Pastellioli @FraserG and others

Hey all, apologies for the late reply. Had a lot on but I was reading all your messages as they came in and I want to say thank you all for your kind words. It really makes a difference

I forgot to give props to Balta for all their hard work. Balta, you have done an absolutely wonderful job maintaining this thread and you were the perfect person for it. Well done mate 😀

Thank you PeaceSalad for starting a new thread as well, i appreciate that very much. You have done an amazing job over at Push Square so I think you will bring a lot of that same energy to your new role here at Pure Xbox. Best of luck with it, you are going to smash it!

Thanks again everyone, lots of love and wishing you all the best! 🧡

The new thread is here for anyone looking for it
