BIG3

Hellblade 2 on Xbox is my choice. I was mind blown by the graphics.

I'm really looking forward to it. Loved Starfield when it came out and I keep coming back to it still.

Camera problems is a no go for me...

My next xbox will be a next gen console.

@CallMeDuraSouka Most people complain about the semi open parts of the game and the story. Personally, I didn't mind it. The semi open parts to me compared to the open parts in TLOU 2 or Uncharted Lost Legacy. Nothing too crazy or time consuming. And the story, I don't know. I liked it. And the DLC is great as well. Totally worth it at a sale I'll say. There are more parts I found annoying in Gears 4 than in 5 (which I didn't find annoying at all).

I loved it. Played through the campaign both solo and with two mates. The DLC as well which is awesome and I spent a lot of time online, especially in horde mode.

I picked up Astrobot (PS5) because it reviewed well and I'm kind of in between games right now. I'm not really a fan of 3D platformers but perhaps this game will convince me. It definetly looks fun enough. And I love all the Easter eggs in it. Looking forward to playing it later today.

Scarlet Nexus is worth it at that discount. Only finished it once and have no plans to go back but it was fun for what it is.

I played Ryza 2 on Switch and liked it enough to finish it. This new game looks way better so Im definetly interested.

I mean. A year later and I still pick it up every now and then to mess around even though I have played all missions and unlocked aøø achievements.

@Vipor007 I love it. Bought it at launch and have enjoyed a bunch of Nintendos exclusives like Splatoon, Astral Chain, Zelda, Fire Emblem, Smash Bros, Xenoblade and much more. I also love that I can play it handheld.
With that being said, I'm not sure if I would buy one now because Nintendo plan to release their next gen console next spring. So if I were you I would either buy a Switch second hand just to try it or wait until the next one comes out.

I'm all over the place playing Stellar Blade (ps5), Forza Horizon 4 (Series X) and Smash Bros (Switch). Have a good weekend!

So I finally beat BG3!!! For me it was a hard game to master but when it finally clicked, it is so good! I went from giving up on the game in act 1 to rolling credits with a big grin on my face. I can imagine this being a game I will play over again just to take different paths in the future.

This weekend it's back to a steady rotation of hunting down the final costumes in Stellar Blade on PS5.
Forza 4 and Starfield (with the new vehicle) on Series X while waiting for Shattered Space next month.
And nothing on Switch OLED unfortunatly. I think my next game will be Lego Horizon on that console.

Im also really looking forward to Dragon Age Veilguard.

Have a good weekend.

That 70bn deal was too big for Microsoft to not notice. I guess this is just how its going to be moving forward.

I hope Unknown 9 will be good. I'll test the vehicles in Stsrfield this week. Nice to see a release date for Shattered Space as well.

Shattered Space will hold me over until Indy. Good!

I picked up Forza 4 Ultimate after playing the standard version on Gamepass a lot. Right now I'm doing the fortune Island DLC and I'm absolutely loving it. The Forza gameplay loop really is something else. Perfect game to pick up, do some races and put down again.

I just finished my third playthrough of Stellar Blade. Still missing a couple costumes, I'll have to look them up but I wont do another run yet.
I'm stuck on BG3 and I can't be bothered to deal with it now.
I did buy Forza 4 Ultimate so I might just do some races or something.
I'm really looking forward to Dragon Age Veilguard. That will most likely be my next new game.

@kingtoten I feel the same. Forza 5 should have had a bigger city in it. I got tired off the desert real quick.

@Feffster I'm very excited for mixtape.

@Cherip-the-Ripper Ha. You made me laugh for real. Have a good weekend!

Oh yeah. Will be tuning in to Shattered Space, Avowed, Stalker 2 and Indy.

If its Starfield I just might double dip and get the plat.

Ah cool. Looking forward to it! Maybe we will get a Indy release date.

Excellent news. MS really fumbled with Tango.

I'm stuck again on BG3 on Series X so this weekend Ill be wrapping up my 3rd playthrough of the fantastic Stellar Blade on PS5 instead. Meanwhile my Switch is collecting dust.

Thats really cool. There are so many beautiful remote places I would like to visit.

I would love an xbox handheld tbh.

I'm about to complete my first run of BG3 on Xbox. I only have a couple quests to wrap up before I go to the final boss.
It's been a fun journey. A couple months ago I was about to give up on the game because I thought it was sluggish and boring. But now I can barely put it down.

Im fine with Avowed being moved considering they have 9 releases still due for the rest of the year. Unfortunatly for me there's only Indy and Shattered Space Im interested in and they dont have proper release dates yet.

The more I read the more I get a feeling Xbox is shifting towards next gen, and maybe next gen will be the last gen.

I've putted all my games away to fully focus on BG3 until I've finished it.

Should have just went roman numbers and called it Xbox V.

@WhiteRabbit Ah. Didn't think about that. I know free online play wont happen but I'd just love to see it.

Speaking of confusion. Why does PC get its own tier?

If it was up to me Gamepass would have two options:
Exclusive (with only first party titles) and Ultimate (as is today).
Both tiers would get games on day 1 and the same discounts in the store.

I could consider a third tier for cloud gaming only (both 1st and 3rd party)...

Oh, and online play should be free.

I'm more hyped for Avowed to be honest. But I loved everything I've seen of Indiana Jones so far and I can't wait to play it!

Xbox: Im in act 3 of Baldurs Gate 3. Have started googling all the quests because Im kind of burned out and would like to finish the story.

Switch and PS5: Nothing at the moment.

Recently finished: Just wrapped up my 3rd playthrough of Witcher 3. Game still holds up after all these years. Had a wonderful time revisiting.

I cant believe Microsoft dont believe in marketing. Lol.

Xbox Series X: Jumping between Witcher 3 and BG3.

Me 3 most played games are Gears, Halo and Starfield so that. Though I might switch Halo for Forza.

Loved Hellblade 2. Perfect lenght. Great story, Godtier audio and graphics. Puzzles didnt overstay and combat did what it was supposed to do. 10/10 GOTY contender in my book. And if not GOTY, Senuas actress needs to win all the awards. Seriously.

@WhiteRabbit Im not expecting anything.

Game Pass should be two tiers. Ultimate the way it is today. And Standard which is just Xbox exclusives. Both tiers should have day 1, cloud and special discounts.
Oh, and online play should be free, like on PC. That would give Xbox a clear advantage over both PS and Switch.

Personally I would love a game pass tier that was just the xbox exclusives and nothing else.

Ooh. Atlas Fallen is the type of game I might resub for.

I bought the xbox series X fridge. And a bunch of Starfield merch.

I thought Forza 4 would be a part of this. Havent skimmed all 300 though.

@jesse_dylan Thanks for the advice. I definetly ran into a figgt I wasnt ready for.

Xbox: Witcher 3 (starting Blood and Wine dlc). Been a fun ride playing this game for the third time.
Also, BG3. I made it to act 3 and feel completely overwhelmed and have no idea what to do or where to start.
PS5 and Switch. Nothing.

I wouldnt have gotten into Xbox at all if it wasnt for how cheap the Series S is. Bought it on release and has since bought an X as well.
