Does anybody know if Dark Souls Remastered has been given the Boost treatment? It's the 10 year anniversary of Dark Souls this year and I'm gonna do a One Bro run to celebrate π
@themightyant If they can get the perfect blend of all their previous titles it's gonna be something very special indeed. Given the talent behind it I have absolutely no doubt that they'll nail it π
Well, that was something haha What a fantastic thing to experience on a dull Tuesday π Kudos to the Xbox marketing team, they've knocked it so far out of the park this gen I don't think we'll ever see that ball again?! π
@MrClump Wow, I certainly was! Played the first 3 chapters and cannot believe how fantastic it is?! It's baffling that this game didn't get more fanfare at release.
Oh, excellent news! I was gonna play a spot of Forza 7 tonight while I waited for it to drop tomorrow. Guess I'll crack straight on with it tonight π Never played it before so I'm looking forward to it.
After a couple hours of playing it at launch, I fail to see how this game can ever be fixed. It's fundamentally broken on nearly every level. Such a shame, as a fan of D&D I was really looking forward to it π
Sea of Thieves Friday night, standard. Last night I tried Bug Fables which is very good (take some notes Paper Mario) and then rolled the credits on Space Jam. I was very pleasantly surprised! Now, I love basketball, Loony Tunes, Beat em Ups, retro gaming and Space Jam. It ticks a lot of boxes haha Tonight I'll play some Limbo as it's superb. In all the gaps I'll play Monster Hunter Rise π
I can echo the above sentiments, I'll be giving this a go next week for sure. I slept on it first time around but the sequel's trailer woke me with a shock haha All the comments suggested how awesome the original is so I'm really looking forward to it π
My friends and I finished the second and third TTs last night and had an absolute blast. I won't spoil it, but there's a scene at the end of the third that is so hype and actually rather emotional. You would have to be seriously invested already in the SoT lore and it's characters for it to land. If that's you though and it does hit, it hits hard βΊοΈ
Haha that's amazing π Man, that takes me back, Korn used to play a lot at all the house parties we went to. I'd love to know the story behind it? π€
Personally I feel as though this is a great match. I thoroughly enjoyed The Medium, the atmosphere and setting was superb. I have no reason to believe they couldn't make a terrifying world once those sirens start kicking off π Silent Hill 2 is one of my favourite games of all time so colour me excited!
@TJ81 Haha amazing! Yeah I had a bunch that got given away with various magazines etc. The death of printed media (for the most part) is a sad thing. Getting that new Mean Machines or NMS magazine was amazing. We're definitely getting (got??) old mate haha But, what a time to be alive π
Sea of Thieves all Friday night and the rest of the weekend playing Monster Hunter Rise, the demo for Monster Hunter Stories 2 and some Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate haha Big fan right here π
@TJ81 That's interesting you bring that up. I too had a VHS tape of upcoming Mega Drive games! Bet it was the same one haha This showed off some Chemical Plant Zone gameplay π
You know, it's been many years since I've fired up my Xbox to see my friends list all playing the same game (apart from my one mate who played nothing but Hexic lol) and it's fitting that it's Halo that will bring that back. Knowing you always have a mate online ready to chat and play some Halo is one of the most exciting aspects for me. I cannot wait for a return to those beautiful Halo days of old π
Fantastic news. My friends and I hit the seas like we always do on Friday nights and tried out the first of the new Tall Tales. Absolutely fantastic π Not the usual 'anything could happen' you get from a typical night but the narrative focus was a great change of pace. Some awesome set pieces, incredible music and stunning vistas. Can't wait to play the rest once they're fixed π
The Goonies!! π My friends and I play this game every Friday night and it's an absolute blast. Never a dull moment and there's always something that has us crying with laughter. We've been playing since almost day one and have never got bored. If you have a group of like minded mates, I thoroughly recommend it βΊοΈ
Despite being hugely excited for this I have to agree with Royalblues above me, the game is utterly awful. It's so bad infact that I have a hard time believing it was released at all. As a big fan of the source material it's a bitter disappointment π
Whether the shows themselves are good or bad really doesn't matter too much to me. What's important is the way E3 brings gamers together. For the last few days my friends and I have been discussing this, that and everything in between. Making Top 5 lists, highs and lows etc. While we also still discuss gaming daily, during E3 it has a special feeling to it βΊοΈ
Is it finally happening? Is Xbox gonna actually sell in Japan?! Boy I hope so. It'll be amazing to see those quirky Japanese titles that always come to PlayStation head to Xbox too π
What, no SS option? Haha SO many great games on the way. Games I'd happily buy, all coming to Gamepass. It really is insane! When was the last time you watched a show, saw 20 games you want, and won't have to pay for them. Insane.
Borderlands 1 & 2 were a couple of my absolute fave games ever, loved them both (although 2 is definitely the fave) but after 2 I had zero interest in playing another. Odd really but there we are π
This is wonderful news. While gaming in some places is getting more and more expensive, Xbox trying to create even more value is a breath of fresh air. Makes the Battlefield pricing seem even more egregious.
Absolutely mind-blowing stuff. When Geoff was doing it's intro I was expecting to be disappointed, he was REALLY bigging it up. But the second it started and I realised what was happening, goosebumps from head to toe! π The trailer is phenomenal, utterly perfect and I have no reason to believe the game won't be too. Miyazaki has never let us down π

Re: Konami And Bloober Team Announce Partnership, Reportedly Working On Silent Hill Project

Silent Hill 2 is one of my favourite games of all time so colour me excited!
Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite Sonic Game On Xbox?
@TJ81 I'll pop it next to CVG π
Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite Sonic Game On Xbox?
@TJ81 Haha amazing!
Yeah I had a bunch that got given away with various magazines etc.

Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite Sonic Game On Xbox?
Nothing can top Sonic 2 for me.
The hype surrounding the run up to launch was crazy!
Getting it home and plugging it in was the stuff of dreams π
Re: Halo Infinite's First Multiplayer Season Will Be 'Heroes Of Reach'
You know, it's been many years since I've fired up my Xbox to see my friends list all playing the same game (apart from my one mate who played nothing but Hexic lol) and it's fitting that it's Halo that will bring that back.

Re: Rare Rolling Out Sea Of Thieves Hotfix Later Today
Fantastic news.
My friends and I hit the seas like we always do on Friday nights and tried out the first of the new Tall Tales. Absolutely fantastic π

Some awesome set pieces, incredible music and stunning vistas. Can't wait to play the rest once they're fixed π

Re: Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance Is Now Available With Xbox Game Pass
Absolutely gutted.
I was excited for this one but it's utterly horrific π
Don't play it. Even if it's free, it's just not worth your time.
Re: Everything You Need To Know About Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance On Xbox Game Pass

It's so bad infact that I have a hard time believing it was released at all.
As a big fan of the source material it's a bitter disappointment π

I don't think anyone was expecting anything groundbreaking.
As a big fan of the source material though it's a no brainer. It looks really fun π

Finished up Resident Evil VIllage then played the Tunic demo.
I'll also play some Halo, PSO2 and Like a Dragon too.
Re: Pick One: Which Of These Six Upcoming Xbox Games Are You Most Excited For?

With so many options though, how the hell do I decide what to get?! Haha

The trailer is phenomenal, utterly perfect and I have no reason to believe the game won't be too.
Miyazaki has never let us down π
