It’s hard to feel excited for this collection when all of the games are already available on Xbox via BC.
Why would Sega put so few games on this collection, isn’t it supposes to be a 30th anniversary celebration? Why not at least include the Master System titles?
I hope we get to see some gameplay, and a release date for Avowed. I also hope for a Fallout 5 reveal, but that’s maybe unlikely because Bethesda is probably too busy with Starfield and Elder Scrolls VI to be working on a third major title simultaneously.
@StylesT I didn’t say I would avoid Cyber Shadow completely, just that I’m not going to choose the Xbox version because of it. Normally I would have played it on Xbox because it is my preferred console, but for Cyber Shadow I’ll go with the Switch version instead.
It is annoying, yes, but not the end of the world.
What I can’t stand, on the other hand, is achievements with irregular gamescore that doesn’t end in 0 or 5.
Like Cyber Shadow, for example. I will never play that game on Xbox because it has achievements with like 16 and 31 gamescore each, so you either have to unlock all achievements in this hard game, or you have to live with an ugly and messed up gamerscore total.
When I saw some Dynasty Warriors titles in the list, I was hoping that the Ultimate upgrade pack for Warriors Orochi 4 would be on sale too, but no. I might buy the Double Dragon games and River City Ransom.
Blue/yellow = Fallout White = The Evil Within Upper right = Wolfenstein Lower right = Dishonored
The rest I’m not sure of. Upper left = Doom? Lower left = maybe Prey? I don’t know, never played it. Grey = I feel like there should be an Elder Scrolls controller, but I don’t recognize the symbols.
I tried to get into it a couple of years ago, but sadly I didn’t like it. I got tired and frustrated when I got to the RE4-ish village, and never picked up the game again.
@Tharsman I have not played them myself, but from what I understand the Sigma versions are indeed the inferior versions of the games. If I understood right, they removed the blood, most of the puzzles and a complete stage from NG2.
The Sigma versions have added more playable characters instead, but the general consensus seems to be that Black is still the best version of NG1 and original NG2 is better than Sigma 2.
@VenomousAlbino Yes, a Series X/S version pf Greedfall was announced pretty soon after I made that comment. Never heard of an upgrade for Outer Worlds though, but I hope it’s true.
I probably won’t buy much this sale since I bought a lot of games in the black friday sale a couple of weeks ago, and this sale is pretty much the same games at the same prices as then.
But I think I will buy either AC Valhalla or Immortals, or maybe Watch Dogs Legion if they patch the save glitch before the sale ends.
Like with Doom Eternal, I’m waiting for the Series X version of the game before playing Cyberpunk. I’ve got plenty of other games to play in the meantime.
I was going to buy this game in the digital Black Friday sale, but decided not to when I learned that the save issues are still there. I hope this gets fixed until the next time it goes on sale.

Re: Pick One: Which Of These Need For Speed Games Is Your Favourite?
I’ve only ever played 2 NFS games; The Run on 3DS and Most Wanted on Wii U. I enjoyed both, so I should probably try some more games in the series.
I voted Most Wanted 2012, as it is the only game I’ve played out of this selection.
Re: Pick One: Which Of These Far Cry Games Is Your Favourite?
Far Cry 5 is my favourite so far, it’s one of my favourite games from the last generation. I love the setting, and the cult as the bad guys.
Re: Poll: How Many Points Have You Earned In May's Microsoft Rewards 10K Xbox Challenge?
Not a single point, because I didn’t get the challenge.
I’ve only gotten this challenge once and that was in october of last year.

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think Xbox Has Up Its Sleeve For E3?
I hope we get to see some gameplay, and a release date for Avowed.
I also hope for a Fallout 5 reveal, but that’s maybe unlikely because Bethesda is probably too busy with Starfield and Elder Scrolls VI to be working on a third major title simultaneously.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 15th)
I’ve just started the Wrath of the Druids expansion for AC Valhalla, but I’m also playing a little Forza Horizon 4 and Fallout 76.
Re: The Microsoft Rewards Xbox Gamerscore Challenge Is Back For May 2021
Just like last time, this challenge doesn’t seem to be available here in Sweden
I wonder why though, because the one that was in october last year was available here…
Re: Is Xbox Hinting At More Dragon Quest Coming To Game Pass?
I really hope it’s DQ Heroes 1 and 2!

Re: Pick One: Which Of These Battlefield Games Is Your Favourite?
I would have to say Battlefield 1, since that is the only one I have played.
Re: Future Yakuza Titles Will Continue The Turn-Based Combat Found In Like A Dragon
I’m generally not a fan of turn based combat, but I think it worked really well in Yakuza 7. So this is good news

Re: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Is Getting A Free Xbox Series X Upgrade This Summer

@Alan_Payne Enslaved would be a great addition!
I also hope for Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands.

@FraserG It’s now down to £3.19!
Re: Ghostrunner's Xbox Series X Upgrade Is Still On The Way, But Not Until The End Of The Year
So I will have plenty of content to play through once I play this game after the Series X patch arrives
Re: Win A Crate Full Of Bethesda Themed Xbox Series X Controllers In This New Competition
Blue/yellow = Fallout
White = The Evil Within
Upper right = Wolfenstein
Lower right = Dishonored
The rest I’m not sure of.
Upper left = Doom?
Lower left = maybe Prey? I don’t know, never played it.
Grey = I feel like there should be an Elder Scrolls controller, but I don’t recognize the symbols.
Re: Xbox Cloud Gaming For iOS Is 'Not Very Far Away', Says Microsoft
Can’t wait. I’m going to buy a Razer Kishi for my iPhone as soon as a date is announced.
Re: It's Official, Outriders Is Coming To Xbox Game Pass At Launch
Cool to see such a big third party release on Game Pass from day 1.
Though I’m not interrested in the game personally, as I don’t enjoy co-op games unless they have local co-op.
Re: Phil Spencer Calls The Acquisition Of Tango Gameworks A 'Great Step' For Xbox's Japan Presence
@Richnj Why do you think RE feels like a PS franchise?
I don’t think Playstation has had a exclusive RE game since the Outbreak games on PS2.
Re: Soapbox: Now That It's On Xbox Game Pass, Please Try The Evil Within
I tried to get into it a couple of years ago, but sadly I didn’t like it. I got tired and frustrated when I got to the RE4-ish village, and never picked up the game again.
Re: Deals: The Best Bargains In Xbox's Huge Ubisoft Publisher Sale
I bought Assassin’s Creed: Rogue Remastered, as I think it is at the lowest price it’s ever been so far.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (Feb 27th)
I’m playing AC Valhalla, just finished the Lunden arc. Love the game

Re: Can You Identify These Mass Effect Characters?
9/10, I only missed Allers
Re: Best Xbox Series X And Xbox One RPGs
@Tasuki I haven’t played Stardew either, but I agree with Tharsman about Diablo 3; it is definitely an action RPG.
Re: MX Unleashed Is Also Currently Free With Xbox Live Gold
@ThanosReXXX Same here, I also thought that I never missed a game, but I recently discovered I had missed The Witcher 2, and now this.
Re: MX Unleashed Is Also Currently Free With Xbox Live Gold
@Krzzystuff You will be be to redownload the Xbox One games as long as you have an active Gold or Ultimate membership
Re: MX Unleashed Is Also Currently Free With Xbox Live Gold
Thanks for the heads up, I had apparently missed to claim this back in august.
Re: Talking Point: What Accessories Do You Want For The Xbox Series X?
I would love to have a wireless SNES style controller, and also a wireless arcade stick.
Re: Guide: Easy Achievements For The 10K Microsoft Rewards Challenge
I can’t find the challenge in my Rewards app. Is the challenge maybe not for all countries? I live in Sweden.
Re: All Optimised For Xbox Series X|S Games Out Now
@VenomousAlbino Yes, a Series X/S version pf Greedfall was announced pretty soon after I made that comment. Never heard of an upgrade for Outer Worlds though, but I hope it’s true.
Re: Anime Rail Shooter Gal Gun Returns Cancelled For Xbox One
Good news, bring over the good japanese titles instead of this sexist cr*p game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Buying In The Xbox Countdown Sale 2020?
I probably won’t buy much this sale since I bought a lot of games in the black friday sale a couple of weeks ago, and this sale is pretty much the same games at the same prices as then.
But I think I will buy either AC Valhalla or Immortals, or maybe Watch Dogs Legion if they patch the save glitch before the sale ends.
Re: Xbox Countdown Sale 2020 Now Live, 800+ Games Discounted
@Captain_Chao5 Digital is not overpriced, Amazon is underpriced.
Re: Talking Point: How Are You Finding Cyberpunk 2077 So Far?
Like with Doom Eternal, I’m waiting for the Series X version of the game before playing Cyberpunk. I’ve got plenty of other games to play in the meantime.
Re: Pick One: Which Of These Xbox Elder Scrolls Games Is Your Favourite?
@LtSarge Morrowind is already BC.
Re: Pick One: Which Of These Remedy Xbox Games Is Your Favourite?
I’ve only played Alan Wake and Quantum Break. QB is pretty good, but AW is way better in my opinion, so it has my vote.
I’m going to play Control when the Series X version is out
Re: Talking Point: Are You Suffering From Saving Issues With Watch Dogs: Legion?
I was going to buy this game in the digital Black Friday sale, but decided not to when I learned that the save issues are still there. I hope this gets fixed until the next time it goes on sale.
Re: GreedFall Is Heading To Xbox Series X With Additional Content
Good news. I really hope it utilizes Smart Delivery as I own the Xbox One version, but haven’t played it yet.
Re: All Optimised For Xbox Series X|S Games Out Now
@Blessed_Koz I agree that it’s not very likely, but it was not a list of games I think will be optimised. One can always hope
Re: All Optimised For Xbox Series X|S Games Out Now
@Jarobusa Either the internal SSD or the Seagate Storage Expansion card.
If it would be able to run from an external HDD it would be the Xbox One version, without any of the Series S/X improvements.
Re: Apple Devices Will Add Xbox Series X Controller Support In Future Update
Give Game Pass support too, while you’re at it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (Nov 21st)
I’m playing Like A Dragon and a little Forza Horizon 4. I love the Series X
