@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.

@SplooshDmg Great, thanks for the info
I haven’t seen any news article mentioning this game releasing on anything other than PC so I just assumed that no console versions had been announced.

This game is only confirmed for PC, right?
I hope it comes to Xbox too, because it looks great.

I think Game Pass has been fantastic this summer! Both Shredder’s Revenge and PowerWash Simulator has been some of my favourite games this year, and I think I’ll start playing Shadowrun Returns soon.

If they ever add more games to the BC program, I hope they do Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Wolfenstein 2009.

I have Gunvolt 3 and Soul Hackers 2 pre-ordered.

I’m looking forward to Soul Hackers 2, even though I’m usually not a big fan of JRPGs, because I’ve liked the other SMT games I’ve tried.

I applaude this. I don’t think there has ever been a Black Panther game before, and I love the thought of it being single player.

I’ve never played Klonoa before, is this collection worth getting without having any nostalgia for the series?

I have Gunvolt 2 preordered

@Would_you_kindly Yes, you can buy a digital gift card.

I got mine here: https://www.recharge.com/en/us/xbox-gift-card

@Would_you_kindly Yeah, you have to purchase it on the US store. I did that last year along with a some other US only digital releases.

@Banjo- Peace Walker was on a separate disc in the physical edition, and a separate purchase/download for the digital edition.

@Kaloudz Diablo 2 didn’t have a console version back in the day, but the PS1 version of Diablo 1 had couch co-op. The console version of Diablo 3 also had it, and Diablo 4 will have it, so Diablo 2 is the only game in the series totally lacking that feature.
