@NattyKing they are indeed very forgettable.

Went with Helldivers 2. E33 is an all timer, but in a different way so is Helldivers 2. I love JRPGs but for me there's no beating a perfect coop game with friends.

They really should have ended on Total War 40K which was absolutely bonkers, or the Old Republic game. This game may or may not be good but it wasn't worthy of that spot and it actually hurt it because of expectations.

@fatpunkslim wow, with all this momentum Xbox might pass the Nex Playground in sales and get back into distant 3rd place!

This reminds me of hifi rush making the jump. Im interested to see how compulsion fares afterwards.

One of the GOATs, deserves a much better dev.

Looks f***ing incredible. Between this and Owlcat 's Expanse game, I won't even care when Mass Effect 5 comes out and is terrible.

I hate the doritopope but between Exodus, Total War 40k, and Casey Hudson making an Old Republic game, that's an automatic A+.

My top 5 were

Exodus
Total War: 40k
Fate of the Old Republic
Divinity
Solasta 2

The company that brought you Stranger Things vs the company that brought you the Halo show and has run Star Trek into the ground. Hmm, this is a close one.

@Fiendish-Beaver button mashing sounds technical compared to whatever the heck it was that i was doing 🤣

Doritopope is a f****** clown.

Cool victory lap for playstation

@Fiendish-Beaver I put the last mortal Kombat on the lowest difficulty and blasted through the story. It was really stupid fun, I'll do the same with this one. Im terrible at these games.

Was this the first time ever that cod went head to head with battlefield and lost?

Anyone want to tell him it's the 25th anniversary, not the 20th? Or is that a Purexbox typo?

Rog Xbox Ally X is not and has never been sold out at the 1 retailer that sells it in the US.

Multiplayer was IMO best of the entire series. It's why out of the gate it won the players choice GOTY at the doritopope awards. However they had zero content pipeline, and the game died.

The campaign imo was bad. Half baked (at best) open world, with story being delivered with WWF promos. They needed to put a Mean Gene grunt with a microphone standing next to the Brute for all those monologues. The whole thing felt like it was barely past the pitch stage. The gameplay of it was great, but that's not why I'm there. Multiplayer is for the nuts and bolts gameplay. I'm doing campaign for narrative and spectacle and it was bad at both. This is to say nothing of the missed opportunity for the Spirit of Fire to show up.

I can't believe even now there are people who don't understand how over this is.

Also I saw this after I got my kids their Xmas present, I might look into the nex playground for next year. Looks awesome, just not a fan of another subscription. It is hilarious that Microsoft lost 3rd place to a subscription based Kinect, a combination of their 2 arguably failed initiatives over the last 2 generations.

Tried OMD Deathtrap on release and it ran like total ***. Haven't had time to go back to see if it got better.

This show should have been 30 minutes. On top of the list being idiotic, the show itself was ridiculously boring.

One small bright note is they reminded me that Big Walk is coming and was announced for "consoles," I hope that includes Xbox because it looks amazing.

@Brigurugi GTAV and RDR2 were on game pass after release so maybe find a different indicator of a game's failure.

Never looked at this beyond the reveal trailer because it felt like they're trying to steal Wreckfest's success with that name. Same reason I'd never look at Stumble Guys.

@Exerion76 so common that south park did an arc on it

Easily GOTY. Some weird haters in here. It's okay to not like a game. You don't need to attack the rest of us.

RIP Silksong though, a game with incomparable hype vs E33 which came out of nowhere. Unexpected result to say the least.

Looks like Greedfall without the RPG

@Sol4ris are you serious?

Xbox goes out of their way to give interviews. Youre phrasing is as if an interview with gamereactor is unavoidable. Neither Sony nor Nintendo do this constantly. It's idiotic

"When journalists are asking questions" in a sit down interview you agreed to, lmao

I have some use for console streaming but it doesn't run as well as it should, and it seems to be left to languish as MS abandons Xbox and focuses on cloud etc.

@Sol4ris the point is they constantly take these interviews. The guy you are responding to is hardly the first to say it, it's been a narrative going back to last gen when Phil took over. Sony and N don't do this. It's not a journalism issue.

Disc version so no

@TrollOfWar they should have done 1, but threw in the towel right before they finally started putting out decent games that would have been exclusives. It sounds like you think they are doing 3, when in reality they are obviously working towards 2.

He was wrong then, and he is wrong now.

This is the company that said the future of game consoles is being a cable tv box. They're not good at this and have gotten everything wrong post Peter Moore.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

@abe_hikura meanwhile MS is constantly advertising "stumble guys" in game pass rewards.

Nothing to say except that Remnant rules as does its developer Gunfire Games

If Ms rewards ever pays out for achievement points again, this is a no brainer. Those were some fun months.

If you still expect anything from this company at this point, that's on you.

Nothing I really want is on sale. AoW4 expansion pass 2 on sale WHEN? I know it just came out but would buy FFT if it was on sale. Wayfinder was recently $5 on steam, I'd grab it on Xbox for that price.

@GeeEssEff same thing happened to me, finally out of warranty too. Tried repairing by replacing the switch but couldn't get it desoldered.

I ordered a refurb on Amazon for $100 with an extended 3 yr warranty, which I'm sure I'll put to good use again because these things really are designed to fail.

There are some games I might use it, like Age of Wonders 4, but they don't have it. So it hasn't benefitted me at least yet.

Disappointed in the Vampire Survivors dungeon crawler in that it uses cards. I really don't care for card games, probably would have loved it otherwise

Make 200 hour games, be surprised when people buy less of them since each one lasts people months. Some serious surprised pikachu **** right here out of Ubisoft.

I very, very rarely play Ubisoft games. Like the last one I remember enjoying was From Dust.

THQ Nordic? Would love to see some more of the Gothic remake.

That team was certainly laid off

Done Keeper looks like a good time. I don't see many "Missile Command-likes.'. Graphically very reminiscent of Risk of Rain which I love.

Another one for next year, February 15th 2026 will be the 2 year anniversary of the death of Xbox, what will they do for that?

@Sindayl naive

"Simply put, the days of players being locked to a closed-off console ecosystem are starting to feel antiquated,"

It doesn't, at all, it just feels bad if the platform you're on is being abandoned.

Still playing it several nights a week, it's an all timer coop game.

I really wish Arrowhead would make Magicka back compat or do a remaster or something. I played it on PC and it was hilarious, so much of the DNA carried over to Helldivers coop.

Got it on disc, not rebuying.
