One of the main things that made the original so much fun was it’s simplicity. I hope they remember that when making this new entry, but this talk of ”AAA” has made me a bit worried.

I’ve owned several hundred physical Xbox games, but got rid of most of them since deciding on going all digital back in 2017.
I’ve kept some of them though, like a bunch of non-BC Xbox 360 titles, and a some Xbox One games that aren’t available digitally anymore, like TMNT Mutants in Manhattan and The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

I would love some Bethesda franchise stuff to ease the wait for Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5, like a full remake of Morrowind, or the rumored remasters of Oblivion and Fallout 3.

Would also love new games from other developers set in those two universes, like they did with New Vegas. Obsidian would be the obvious choice for this, but I’m sure others such as Inxile or maybe even Playground Games could do a great job.

Best controller of it’s generation IMO

@Scirius This list is for OG Xbox and Xbox 360 games that are missing from the backwards compatibility program.

Sekiro is an Xbox One game, and thus already very much playable on modern Xbox consoles.

As I don’t want to play Baldur’s Gate 3 until the save bug is fixed (my wife lost her saves last week, 50+ hours down the drain), I decided to check out some of Larian’s previous work.

So I’m playing Divinity 2: The Dragon Knight Saga. The gameplay is pretty fun after you get used to the jankiness, but the voice acting is sometimes painfully bad, and the writing is not very good either (lots of sexist jokes that would’ve felt mossy back in 2009 too).

But the gameplay and exploration is fun, so I plan to finish this and then maybe move on to Divinity: Original sin, which I’m sure has aged better than this game.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner FH4 still got updates all the way up to, and even after, the release of FH5. The last batch of achievements for FH4 dropped on December 8 2020, which is a month after the release of FH5.

So the fact that FH5 is still getting updates should not be read as a sign that FH6 is far away.

Edit: nevermind the achievement thing, FH5 was released in 2021, not 2020 my bad.

Wow, I really hope this will find it’s way to Xbox eventually! I’ve got some real cravings for Elder Scrolls and Fallout now that I’m feeling done with Starfield.

Just finished it two weeks ago!
Played about 200 hours I think, unlocked all achievements. Not nearly as good as Skyrim or Fallout 4, but I still loved it.

I’ve purchased 30 Xbox games so far this year, all of them digital. It’s been many years since I bought a physical copy of a game.

I wish it was wireless.

If they somehow manage to get the licenses to release the Marvel and Transformers games from Activision on BC, that would make me very happy.

Also, now that Xbox owns both Bethesda and Activision there should be no problem rereleasing Wolfenstein 2009 as far as licensing goes.

@husker42c Oh, that I can understand, I didn’t think about that aspect.

Who even wants to play these games with english voices?

@EVIL-C It’s the publishers who decides which games go on sale, not MS (apart from the games MS publish of course). I’ve been waiting for the Otogi games to go on sale, and that would be up to Sega for example.

I’m so ready for Oblivion and Fallout 3 remasters, I’ve been wanting to replay both om them! Can’t wait

Oh no, I’m not done with Prodeus

@Ashadelo Since you enjoy the Elder Scrolls games and Starfield, I would highly recommend the Fallout games. They absolutely have that Bethesda feel to them

1. Skyrim
2. Fallout 4
3. Starfield
4. Oblivion
5. Fallout 3
6. Morrowind
7. Fallout 76

I love Bethesda’s games so much!
Both Skyrim and Fallout 4 are solid 10/10 games for me, and I would give Starfield, Oblivion and Fallout 3 9/10. I haven’t played Oblivion in about 15 years, though, so it might impact my rankings if I would replay it.

I love it, I’m about 20 hours in and it’s a 9/10 for me so far! Could be a 10/10 if it had better menus, better maps, and ran at 60fps.

I hate the new graphics, so I’m happy they left the option to play with the original 16-bit graphics as well

This will probably be far more up my alley than that Ronin game, hope we get to see some gameplay footage soon

@everynowandben In that case it’s more like I’m out of luck 😅

@__jamiie Yes he did, I think it was only a couple of months ago

Nice! I hope they’ll also do Heretic, Hexen, Blood and Shadow Warrior as I never played those but always wanted to

Wow, this Kart Racer inflation is pretty crazy. Feels like we went from not enough Kart Racers to drowning in them in a very short time.

I always welcome good ones though.

@NEStalgia ”Obsidian doesn't do Bethesda sized maps. They never did.”

Obsidian made Fallout New Vegas, which had a larger map than Bethesda’s Fallout 3.

They are absolutely capable of making expansive and exploration focused games if they want to, and that’s what I hoped that Avowed would be like.
Avowed will most likely still be a fantastic game, but I was really hoping for an Elder Scrolls type of game to make the wait for ES6 a little easier.

Why would they choose the Game Gear versions over the Master System versions of Sonic 1, 2 and Chaos? 🤔
They are the same games, but the Game Gear versions are very zoomed in, and can get obnoxious to play because of it.

Looking forward to Monster Hunter Rise! I hope it’s as good as World

Well deserved indeed. It’s absolutely one of the best games I’ve ever played. Maybe even THE best.

Does anybody here know if this have split screen co-op?

@UndyingInsurgent95 It’s not an FPS, it’s in third person view.

I’m a little tempted by Cowabunga Collection, Klonoa, Sonic Colors and Steelrising, but I think I’m gonna hold out for the New Years Countdown sale instead.

Why are so many developers and publishers still calling XSX/XSS and PS5 ”next-gen”? They have been current gen for two whole years now!

Besides that pet peeve, it’s nice to have a release date for this. I haven’t played Witcher 3 yet, so maybe it’s finally time after this update. I didn’t like Witcher 2, but I’ve heard that 3 is much better.

Tbh, I only ever cared about the OG Xbox and 360 titles, since those were the ones you got to keep forever. So GwG is pretty much dead to me now 🤷‍♀️

30 fps in a modern action game? No thanks.
I was not very interested in this game to begin with, and now even less.

@Lup you don’t have to see a game in the list to start downloading it. You can either just search for the game in the store on the console, or you can start the download remotely via the Game Pass app on your phone.

I think they’ve mentioned a Series X/S version a couple of years ago, but when that fps upgrade patch dropped I think everyone just assumed that it was that they meant.

Glad to see it’s finally seems to be getting a native Series X/S version

@gollumb82 @Solidchief It’s not up to Microsoft which games are on sale; it’s up to the publishers, and none of the games you mentioned are published by Microsoft.
Otogi is published by Sega, A&D by LucasArts and FEAR by Warner, so it would be up to those publishers to put those specific games on sale from time to time.

I would be very interested in this device if it was cheaper, $350 seems too much for this.

@Rafie I think they might be referring to Shin Megami Tensei Nine, that was on the OG Xbox, since Persona is a subseries to SMT.

Edit: But then again, Soul Hackers 2 released last month so that would’ve been the return to Xbox and not P5R if they meant general SMT. So they must’ve meant Persona, and in that case only the Arena games have released on Xbox before.

Brothers in Arms has an achievement for playing the game on september 17th, which was 4 days ago

I’m not the biggest fan of the genre, but I really enjoyed Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and right now I’m playing Soul Hackers 2.

Are the battles turn-based?
I can’t really tell from the trailer.

I’ve never played a Tales game before.
If I ever get to it, which game should I begin with; Symphonia, Vesperia or Arise?

@AtlanteanMan The OG Xbox and Xbox 360 Games with Gold have always been yours to keep forever, only the Xbox one and Series S/X games are tied to the subscription.

@AtlanteanMan You get Portal 2 as part of Games with Gold this friday.

I might consider getting this game if they release a light gun for it, but I’m not going to play a light gun game with a control pad.

I noticed they changed the menu tiles for most of the AC games yesterday. All AC games except the Ezio Collection, the Chronicles trilogy and the BC games now have black/gold theme tiles.

@InterceptorAlpha I love Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, but MUA 3 was a disappointment for me, so I hope they do better than that if they ever make a fourth game in the series.
I would love to see remastered versions of the X-Men Legends games, I never played them back in the day, but I’ve understood that Ultimate Alliance was sort of a spiritual sequel to Legends.

Still looks like some pretty significant updates are on the way, so I’m glad I haven’t played this game yet.

Elder Scroll VI is the game I look forward to the most, but Avowed is the game I’m most excited for which I feel are two different things. It feels like ES6 is still way too far from release to be excited about yet.
