Judge Corley was amazing. Professional and unbiased the whole way. She alone was able to understand the gaming market better than the CMA.

It is nice to see AA developers get some love. Remnant 2 and Atlas Fallen (The Surge 2) are both awesome, and I hope they turn out as good as their previous games.

I just finished the campaign last night. It is a 6.5/10 for me. The world is fun to explore, and I like the vibe of the game. Combat and gameplay are average. What really brings it down for me is the mission design, enemy AI, and bugs in my multiplayer sessions that caused us to restart a couple times almost every session.

First game is incredible. This has been my most anticipated game for some time. Plenty of gameplay out there and tons of support from the Devs for the first game. Highly recommend.

Just hoping that the showcase doesn't leak. They are doing a great job keeping it hidden so far!

Arkham Origins is from 360 but you need the disc to play. Wish I could buy it digitally.

Are there any worth picking up that aren't turn-based?

@TheSilverFalcon Music is incredible. AC Valhalla even won a grammy for best soundtrack.

@Rockboy247 I think that is just due to the sheer size and scope of Dawn of Ragnarök. Honestly, it could be a standalone game that you could easily get 20 hours out of.

If this looks good and you have not tried Chivalry 2 or For Honor, go and try those. They are both on Game Pass!

I wasn't interested until I saw this article. Thanks for highlighting this!

Only thing keeping me from playing co op first time around is that story progression does not carry over! Once I finish it with one character, I will go back and play online with another.

Series S brought in people who would not have paid the 500+ to get in the Xbox ecosystem. I am not a fanboy for the S, but besides storage space, which is just an inconvenience, I have no major issues with it.

As a series S owner, I do appreciate the smaller install size since the storage is very limited. Obviously, I realize that performance and visuals aren't as good. I knew that going in though.

The number of jellybeans I ate this morning outnumber the first party game’s Microsoft has released this gen.

Pathetic.

The most important metric is going to be subscriptions and player count since people can subscribe without even buying hardware. I am sure the narrative will be that Xbox is on the brink of collapse, but I think we all know 2022 was a very slow year and upcoming exclusives will increase hardware sales.

JD surviving is what I heard is the canon choice. That being said, he could be saying this to cover up any speculation. There is no way Gears 6 is not in development.

Gameplay looks like Borderlands 3/Wonderlands but with realistic graphics. Lots of movement with a lot happening on screen

Options are always good, but I usually choose quality mode anyways.

Journey to the Savage Planet is awesome. Similar to how a 3D Metroid game plays but with lots of humor.

Picked up Mafia ll and Jedi Fallen order for less than $10 combined. Excited to try them out.

There is a disc. The description is describing the code on the disc. Most Series X discs are just codes that unlock the game for download. This was confirmed by Gamefly on twitter because it is being rented out by them.

I wanted another live service FPS... said no one ever.

Starlink intrigues me but I was obviously turned away by the toy part of it. Does the digital version hold up?

Escape Room has touch control on the Game Pass app. Easy 3 minutes.

@BrilliantBill I played over 100 hours on the Xbox one S and it worked and looked great. It is an incredible game with the main downside is that the campaign is a bit bloated. However, I think it is an improvement on its predecessor in almost every way

The first Lords of the Fallen is not worth playing when so many better Souls games exist. If you want to play the best this developer has made, play The Surge 2. Also a Souls-like but nothing else like it is out there.

I am playing The Outer Worlds again as a warmup for Starfield. Such a great game.

I got mine bundled with a new game for $280 late summer. I saw them at Costco for $230 for black friday

If there wasn't PlayStation exclusive content, I would be buying day one. It is crazy that Xbox gamers pay the same price for less content.

I would have been more interested if there was not locked exclusive content for only Playstation users. I can't stand 3rd party exclusive content. I am looking at you Hogwart's Legacy...

It is going to need 2 more years to be a good game anyways.

I have really enjoyed Tiny Tina. I would recommend if you like Borderlands or D&D

Surge 2 is always on sale, but that game is so good.

I recommend Tiny Tina's Wonderlands! Gotham Knights is surprisingly a very good game to relax/chill with.

Outside of maybe Batman and Superman, Spiderman is the most popular and well-known superhero in ALL of media. Why wasn't that looked at when it was made exclusive?

Can't wait to straight up murder people with the killing curse.

After Microsoft wins this court case, I hope they take COD of PlayStation out of spite for rejecting all the offers Xbox has put on the table.

Probably next Tuesday on the refresh

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is actually a lot of fun. I loved the Borderlands series, but the post-apocalyptic setting isn't my favorite. End game is fun as well.

@abe_hikura Makes me want to reply the whole game. What a good game! I did not think it would get a sequel.

Deal gives you 3 months and 50% off year membership. You will still need to pay $35 with this deal.

Strange Brigade is great! Buy it.... then let me know so I have someone to play with lol

It is good! $70 good? Maybe not. I am thoroughly enjoying it after getting it for $42. No regrets. Looks great. Enemy variation is awesome. Heroes also awesome.

There are some really cool cinematic story bits that I would have enjoyed playing through on the hardest difficulty with all my gear. I wish the loadout options would have been available at launch. That made a big difference to me.

Less common games I REALLY enjoyed:
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands
Dawn of Ragnarök Valhall DLC which was an entire game by itself. TMNT
Ghost Song

Anyone know the best place to get a 12 month Gold Sub in the U.S?

Halo Infinite campaign needed Co-op at launch and more content in multiplayer. Makes me grateful for Playground Games and The Coalition who seem to release stellar games at launch

I am hoping to see a discount on some games released this year like Elden Ring or Gotham Knights. 95% of the sale will be what we always get haha

Costco is selling Series S for $240 this month. It would need to be under the $100 IMO
