It'll almost certainly be a Phantom based system like we're all used to.
4 players sounds fascinating. I wonder how they'll balance the difficulty? Will it scale with 2+ people like MH Rise?
I'll certainly play it through alone for my first run. Not just for the challenge but to enjoy a more immersive experience π
The trailer did nothing for me at all but I'm still excited for it! Gameplay reveal, 13th June you say? Same day as the MS show you say? The plot thickens π
This is a real shame. I understand that certain pads are exclusive to certain people, but a pad celebrating Pride should most certainly not be one of them. A rare miss by MS here. I'd have bought one in a heartbeat βΊοΈ
My friends and I play a lot of Halo and nothings more annoying than saving a clip of yourself getting an Extermination only to find it impossible to see! It happens to all of us, all the time π
Hi praise indeed and certainly not isolated. I've seen a load of similar articles and reviews π I just don't see it though? My friends and I spent a couple hours playing and came away thoroughly unimpressed. Seems like something we'd really enjoy too! Sorry to sound like a negative nelly. Anyone else out there not feeling it? π€
Dogma 2 has been at the top of my most wanted list since finishing the original! Absolutely seminal game and a sequel cannot come soon enough. If the flexibility and movement displayed in Monster Hunter Rise is anything to go by, the RE Engine will be a dream match π
I can totally get onboard with your love of this game mate, I had it on PS1 and absolutely loved it! π Another random (should be rubbish) game I hold in very high regard is Toy Story 2 on PS1. Great game βΊοΈ
I wasn't day one I have to admit but I bought one shortly after. My friend brought his over to show off Halo and I was sold. Bought the console with Halo and fell in love π
@BionicDodo It's well worth it I'd say mate. It's far from my personal favourite (and you've arguably played the pinnacle of the series) but it's worth playing for the soundtrack alone π I'd also recommend FFIX, it's an absolute masterpiece π
I bought a new TV at the same time as my Series X so I could really take advantage of the new console. I'm so glad I did, it's been a fantastic experience! I've been hugely behind the tech curve for years so it feels exciting to read all these articles and be able to enjoy the benefits they talk about π
I've had a pre order down for ages but just recently cancelled it. I'm super excited for the game, I'm a massive Resi fan, but the sheer volume of awesome Gamepass games right now means I already have so much to play! I have my sensible hat on it seems. It makes me wonder how often this happens to other Xbox gamers? π€
A couple friends and I are looking forward to this one. We're not expecting greatness but it looks like a decent amount of fun for an evening or two π Who knows, may end up GotY π
On a serious note. I was a MASSIVE fan of the original Lost Planet. Huge. But when the sequel got panned I decided to skip it. Big mistake. My friend and I decided to play through it at the very end of the 360's life and boy oh boy did we have fun! With some friends that game is incredibly good
I've only played solo and stuck to WT4 but I'm having a really good time playing it! It's a lot of fun with all the classes but Trickster is incredible
@Krzzystuff They added a 'Maiden Voyage' which you can launch from the title screen. It's a lovely little intro to the game and definitely worth checking out even for long time players too!
I have a save horror story that still haunts me to this day. 30+ hours into Tomb Raider The Last Revelation on the Dreamcast. I was right near the end and just missed a jump. As I was falling to my death, I hit pause seconds before impact and hit Load. By this point I was very quick at the reload process. Too quick. Navigating the menu like a speedrunner I hit Save instead of Load. The horror. CRUNCH I loaded my game. CRUNCH Again and again I reloaded, hoping for a different outcome. There wasn't one. All my progress lost and to this day I can't face going back to finally finish it haha
@InterceptorAlpha Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy it mate. Personally I preferred it to the original. I can understand and appreciate being bitterly disappointed by a sequel though (Ni No Kuni)
One of the jewels in Xbox's crown. My friends and I have played this regularly now for years and we have SO many incredible memories! The game is an absolute joy. Co-operative, sandbox gaming just doesn't get any better than this
@everynowandben How long have you got?? Haha The gameplay is smooth, tight and flawless. The setting is beautiful. The story is fantastic. The soundtrack is stunning. It makes you really think. Chasing all the endings is an incredibly enjoyable challenge. Some wonderful humour too! I absolutely love it. I don't drop the word 'masterpiece' about often but I feel it's utterly warranted here

Re: Xbox Fans Aren't Happy That You Can't Buy The New Pride Controller
This is a real shame.
I understand that certain pads are exclusive to certain people, but a pad celebrating Pride should most certainly not be one of them.
A rare miss by MS here.
I'd have bought one in a heartbeat βΊοΈ

Re: Rumour: Dragon's Dogma 2 Currently In Development, Using RE Engine
Dogma 2 has been at the top of my most wanted list since finishing the original!

Re: Five More Games Are Available With Xbox Game Pass Today (May 13)
@BionicDodo It's well worth it I'd say mate. It's far from my personal favourite (and you've arguably played the pinnacle of the series) but it's worth playing for the soundtrack alone π
I'd also recommend FFIX, it's an absolute masterpiece π

Don't sleep on Hard Corps Uprising people, it's an absolute gem of a shooter!
Re: Four More Games Are Now Available With Xbox Game Pass (March 18)

Re: Soapbox: 15 Years Later, I'm Still Not Over The Poison Apple That Ruined My Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Save
I have a save horror story that still haunts me to this day.
30+ hours into Tomb Raider The Last Revelation on the Dreamcast.
I was right near the end and just missed a jump. As I was falling to my death, I hit pause seconds before impact and hit Load.
By this point I was very quick at the reload process. Too quick.
Navigating the menu like a speedrunner I hit Save instead of Load.
The horror.
CRUNCH
I loaded my game.

Re: Sea Of Thieves Is Giving Out Free Gifts & Perks For Its Third Birthday

Re: Four More Games Are Available With Xbox Game Pass Today (March 18)
@everynowandben How long have you got?? Haha
The gameplay is smooth, tight and flawless.
The setting is beautiful. The story is fantastic. The soundtrack is stunning. It makes you really think. Chasing all the endings is an incredibly enjoyable challenge. Some wonderful humour too!
I absolutely love it. I don't drop the word 'masterpiece' about often but I feel it's utterly warranted here
Re: Four More Games Are Available With Xbox Game Pass Today (March 18)
I cannot recommend Nier Automata enough. It's a seminal game
I'm looking forward to giving Star Wars Squadrons a bash.
