It's -30c where I live so I'll be gaming a lot this weekend.
PS5: Alan Wake 2
Switch OLED: Zelda TotK
Series X: Baldur's Gate 3
Recently finished:
1. Super Mario Wonder
Such a fantastic and fun game. Played it coop with the missus. Had a great time. Many of the levels had a "wow" factor I found entertaining.
2. Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty
Unlocked all the endings and I must say, what a great game and DLC it is. Played Cyberpunk at release and hated it (even though I reached one ending) but now, the 2.0 version is another game completely and the DLC adds so much too it. I highly recommend this game even though it is a bit depressing.
I'm surprised Ghostwire Tokyo didnt go higher. That game was a lot of fun once I got the hang of it. I really liked Starfield so I'm glad it got number one by such a huge margin.
For someone who knows nothing about Halo lore and might not care if the show stick to it or not. Is the show any good? Story, script, acting, music, etc?
This year on my Xbox I bought Phantom Liberty, Tony Hawk 1-2, Witcher 3, Baldurs Gate 3, Diablo IV and Starfield Constellation Edition (only physical purchase this year).
I'm going hard on the gaming front this weekend and I love it. PS5: Alan Wake 2 and GoWR Valhalla Series X: Baldur's Gate 3 Switch Oled: TotK and Metroid Dread
I have 3 games in my backlog I'm trying to wrap up.
Xbox: Shadow of Tomb Raider
Switch: Metroid Dread and TotK
PS5: Nothing
Might pick up something new next week if they run any Game Awards sales.
For Xbox: updates, new trailers and or release dates on Hellblade 2, Fable, BG3, Avowed, Everwild, Contraband, GoW6 or Stalker 2. For everything else: Death Stranding 2, Stellar Blade, Aftermath, Dragons Dogma 2, Crimson Desert and something new from Nintendo. If I get new info on 2-3 of these games I'm happy.
I bought one when they were new and its kind of cool to have but it is a bit noisy. So I wouldnt recommend having it next to your setup or in the living room.
That "eat" function is essential. Glad it came around.
Now please make it so you can skip the temple puzzles and don't have to run through 10ng+ to max them. There are enough planets to just scatter 260 temples around the universe after reaching Unity once.
Of course Xbox will "be there". At the least to show some ads for GPU and the consoles. My guess is some new announcements for GPU, maybe even some shadow drops. I'm hoping for new ads for upcoming games and maybe one or two new announcements.
I didn't buy it because they have announced two dlcs coming next year. So Im waiting for an ultimate edition. I also heard there was some audio issues on release and thats a non negotiable for me.
@LaurenceJ1987 I'm not. It's 26 powers and you have to find them 10 times each over the course of ten ng+ runs to fully upgrade them. The temples also appear on random planets each playthrough...
@makk_zucc The fact that you have to find the temples and do the puzzle 260 times in order to max all powers is insane. I have no idea why they approved this. I picked them all up once and was done with them. And even that was a chore. One of the few gripes I have with the game btw.
Xbox Series X: I unlocked all the achievements in Starfield recently so now Im doing a 2nd playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077. Played it on release and only focused on main story due to buggyness. This time I plan to explore more. Switch Oled: Nothing, but I really should wrap up TotK soon... PS5: Nothing, but I plan on jumping into Alan Wake 2 and BG3 once I've finished the other games mentioned already.

Re: BG3 Dev Offers Workaround While Xbox Tries To Fix 'Unacceptable' Saving Issue
I'm wondering now if this problem is the same as I encountered while playing NieR Replicant.

Re: Halo TV Show's Season 2 Poster Has Already Been Photoshopped
@pip_muzz I see. Perhaps I should check out a couple episodes and see if it hooks me.

Re: Site News: PX Fans, Would You Kindly Fill Out Our Reader Survey?
Why was Switch 2 an option? Lol. And you need to add a refusal to answer income.

Of course Xbox will "be there". At the least to show some ads for GPU and the consoles. My guess is some new announcements for GPU, maybe even some shadow drops. I'm hoping for new ads for upcoming games and maybe one or two new announcements.
Re: Xbox Leadership Features In TIME's Top 100 Climate List For 2023
This is a good look for Microsoft.

Re: Alan Wake 2 Seemingly Struggled To Make An Impact On Xbox In October

Bet it shadow drops at TGA, fingers crossed its on GPU.
Re: Reaction: Looking Back, Xbox Has Had Some Strange GOTY Omissions Over The Years
@MandoloreShepard agree 💯 A remake/remaster category is needed.
Re: Reaction: Looking Back, Xbox Has Had Some Strange GOTY Omissions Over The Years
You lost your mind when you wrote Uncharted 3 wasnt worthy of a nomination.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3's Xbox Reveal Seems Imminent As Developer Shares New Update
I'll buy BG3 the second it comes out on Xbox, even though I got a PS5 and could have bought it already.
Re: Bethesda Reveals What's Coming To Starfield Update 1.8.83 This Month
@LaurenceJ1987 I'm not. It's 26 powers and you have to find them 10 times each over the course of ten ng+ runs to fully upgrade them. The temples also appear on random planets each playthrough...
Re: Poll: Which Has Been The Best Generation Of Xbox So Far?
Ive only been a part of this era so this is definetly it. A lot of it is thanks to backward compitability and GPU.
Re: Xbox Celebrates New Series X Wraps With Free Dynamic Backgrounds
Bought the white Starfield wrapper that match the controller and headset. It's gorgeous.

Re: Rockstar Confirms GTA 6 Trailer Will Be Revealed In Early December
This would have been a nice surprise at the game awards.
Re: Bethesda Reveals What's Coming To Starfield Update 1.8.83 This Month
