@Martsmall So many different endings and such a dense world that you could play multiple times before getting bored. I am on my second playthrough now, but haven't played DLC yet.
@munstahunta Thank you for your sacrifice. It brought the game to GP for the rest of us. I bought Jedi Survivor recently so I expect that to come any day now...
Seems like they showed off a lot of gameplay for ship combat, but what do the other 3 players do while someone is flying the ship? Also, it would a great GP addition given its co op mechanics
Imagine getting put in charge of Xbox after the Xbox One launch! He has rebuilt the brand significantly after the market failure that was the Xbox One. He is a gamer and I think is doing a decent job of giving gamers what they want while satisfying the demands of Microsoft.
The great thing about Greedfall was that you played as a neutral character and got to make weighty decisions. If we have to play as a native, I think that some story lines are going to be pushed over others.
@gollumb82 No kidding. Make a frekin Batman game. If you played as Batman taking down the Justice League, that would have been way better. But instead, they needed a game to fit Warner Bros agenda which was a shooter/live service game.
First person combat in RPGs is very difficult because you have many stats to look and at consider. I think Dying light has the best feeling and weighty first person combat. If they can get it close to that... that would be sweet
I saw the leaks and let's just say that Rocksteady and Warner Bros really said screw you to long time Arkham fans. Sucks that this is Kevin Conroy's last game.
@EvenStephen7 I kind of feel like 'old Blizzard' died when they were bought by Activision. However, I completely agree that this is the end of a chapter. Hopefully Blizzard can get back its former glory in the years to come.
@MrMagic Youngbloods was bad. I think that is from the era where Bethesda was trying to get live service games from their studios (Fallout 76, Redfall). I liked Wolfenstein 2 though
I am excited to see all the acquisitions pay off! After waiting years for top tier exclusives, I think it will finally start to pay off being an Xbox fan
I was really enjoying WHF until it crashed and I lost a couple hours of gameplay. The world, setting, story, and characters were all very interesting. Just need to look past some simple and sometimes janky gameplay.
I played it at launch and had way too many issues with co op not working or crashes. I enjoyed it enough that I plan to play again with someone else this year.
It has been a while since We Happy Few was released. That game was surprisingly fun, so I am excited to see what they can create with Xbox backing them.
Playing online adds a whole element to the game that wouldn't exist on offline servers. The game is extremely successful as is. As someone who plays regularly and has done nearly all story content, I don't encounter other players most times I play. Most people just mind their own business
I think the free sub is more of a perk than a benefit. I agree that it sucks, but I imagine they can work out a deal where just the Xbox division gets it for free and the rest of Microsoft gets that discounted deal.
@PhilKenSebben I solo the whole game. Only issue I had was the final boss which took me about 20 tries before I beat it. The learning curve is steep since you are limited by the gear you have at the beginning but its nice that it has several difficulty options.

Re: Bethesda Explains Why Xbox's Indiana Jones Game Will Be 'Mostly' First-Person

Re: Sea Of Thieves Season 11 Adds New Underwater 'Diving' Mechanic For Fast Travel
I can see how this is great to make it more accessible, but as someone who plays regularly for years, this is not the content that I wanted!
Re: Sea Of Thieves Season 11 Adds New Underwater 'Diving' Mechanic For Fast Travel
Keep in mind that you cannot dive with loot on your boat. It only really is for starting your quests.
Re: Poll: How Often Do You Buy DLC Packs & Expansions For Your Games?
I buy DLC for games I love. For games I am interested in, I may wait until the full collection goes on sale so I don't have to buy it all separately.

Re: The Coalition Appears To Be On A Hiring Spree For The Next 'Gears'

Re: Minecraft Legends Development Ends, Less Than A Year Since Launch
Minecraft Dungeons was awesome. One of the few games with couch co op. This genre just doesn't appeal to me
