Terrible title aside (Dominus, really? That's only mentioned in Ecclesia) it's really cool to have most of the Castlevania games on Xbox now. Tempted to get it.
I'm a few hours into the game and it's pretty good so far. Don't see the similarities with Splinter Cell yet but the game is really fun. And I can see the card game being really addictive.
Don't want to sound like I'm judging, I'm genuinely curious, do you always buy the "Ultimate Edition" of games? Nothing wrong with that if you do, but I always see people talking about that version when the base game is cheaper. Maybe it's my broke a$$ talking, I dunno. I think the only game I've bought the best edition at launch was Infinite Wealth.
Sounds like great fun to me. Ubi games always get a little hate and when other developers do the same they get praised. So those 7-8 are like a 10 to me.
Don't really care about reviews, so I would play it anyways. But it's still nice to see it turned out good. Ubi open world games are some of my favorites out there, so even if it was just a reskin I would have been happy. Tomorrow can't come soon enough.
I never liked the original one on PS2. Was clunky as hell and adhering to traffic laws was pretty annoying, I don't know how different, this remake is. 2 was better but pretty boring. 3 was kinda good, but so far I couldn't bring myself to finish them. Might give them a chance (again) someday, but not in any hurry.
After finishing Watchdogs 2 and thinking it was okay, I'm really really enjoying Watchdogs Legion. Underrated game I'd say. Being able to recruit anyone makes it really interesting and looking for the right person for your team is fun. You can even customize the appearance and clothes of everyone. Really surprised, in a good way.
Honestly there isn't anything else for me so far for the rest of the year except maybe Bushiden. But that's fine. With Star Wars Outlaws, Dragon Age and Assassin's Creed Shadows coming out I wouldn't have time for Game Pass anyways.
So far there's no reason for me in particular to watch it. Not interested in any of those. Will still read the recap if you guys do one!
Hoping there's at least a (few) surprise/s!
I'm not in any hurry. I sincerely doubt it's a game I would actually enjoy but want to give it a chance anyways just in case. But not at the current price.
Been trying to clear my backlog a little and was in the mood for an open world/sandbox game so I'm playing Watchdogs 2. So far, I like the first one better but it's kind of fun.
Man, I don't care about next gen. And it's not just an Xbox thing. Neither Xbox nor Sony have done anything with the current generation. Of course there has been a few games (most third party) that were really good, but it still feels like this generation hasn't started yet. Even most of those good games were released on last-gen consoles too.
If next-gen is around the corner, I hope it's as irrelevant as this one because I'm not upgrading to whatever Xbox or Sony make. Probably can wait like six years before a real need.

I just googled that, I didn't even know those were announced for Xbox wth!
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Combat Detailed In Big Gameplay Breakdown
This was gonna be a day 1 for me, but I just don't have the time between SW Outlaws and AC Shadows.
I'm sure I'm gonna love it but it'll have to wait.

Gonna try that. Thanks for the tip!
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Are Saying About Ubisoft's Star Wars Outlaws
Sounds like great fun to me. Ubi games always get a little hate and when other developers do the same they get praised. So those 7-8 are like a 10 to me.
Can't wait to play it tomorrow!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 24-25)
Watchdogs Legion. Finished it, but since I enjoyed it a lot, I'm hunting some achievements. Maybe I'll start a new game to fool around.
Also Dead Age... Don't judge me. I just wanted something short before Star Wars Outlaws. It's... okay.
Re: Talking Point: Does Microsoft Have A '30FPS' Problem With Its Xbox Series X|S Output?
Non-issue at all as long as the game is stable.
Re: Obsidian Confirms That Avowed Runs At 30FPS On Xbox Series X|S
I couldn't care less, if the game is good. Hyped.
Re: Reaction: Indiana Jones And The Great Circle's PS5 Announcement Marks A Bold Step For Xbox
They're probably gonna make more money selling the game than selling consoles if it stayed exclusive.
Re: Fable's Legendary Creator Peter Molyneux Announces New Game 'Masters Of Albion'
I don't like to be too negative but it looks as boring as that guy's voice sounds. ๐
Re: Ubisoft+ Issue Apparently 'Under Investigation' As Xbox Users Vent Their Frustrations
Hoping it's working well when I resub.
Re: These Three Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (August 22 - September 3)
Would be hyped for this if Star Wars Outlaws wasn't around the corner.
Re: Despite Its Xbox Delay, Black Myth: Wukong Is Already A Massive Success
Still not really interested to be honest.
Re: Final Fantasy 16 Director Says He'd Like To See The Game On Xbox
Not a FF fan, but I would be tempted to at least try it if it does come.
Re: Poll: Are You Picking Up Star Wars Outlaws On Xbox This Month?
Will play it with Ubi+ and then buying the Ultimate version later.
Re: Indie Dev Cancels 'HAAK' For Xbox And Criticises Microsoft Over 14 Months Of Delays
Never even heard of this one before. I'm sure that for every angry developer there's at least five grateful ones though.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Mafia: Definitive Edition On Xbox Game Pass?
I never liked the original one on PS2. Was clunky as hell and adhering to traffic laws was pretty annoying, I don't know how different, this remake is.
2 was better but pretty boring.
3 was kinda good, but so far I couldn't bring myself to finish them.
Might give them a chance (again) someday, but not in any hurry.

Re: Poll: Are You Buying Forza Horizon 4 Before It Gets Delisted On Xbox?
Will probably grab the Standard Edition mainly for my mom. She liked 5, I'm guessing she's gonna like 4 too.
Re: Xbox Game Pass In 2024: The Full List Of Everything Announced So Far
Honestly there isn't anything else for me so far for the rest of the year except maybe Bushiden.
But that's fine. With Star Wars Outlaws, Dragon Age and Assassin's Creed Shadows coming out I wouldn't have time for Game Pass anyways.
Re: Black Myth: Wukong Debuts To Impressive Reviews Ahead Of Delayed Xbox Launch
Sounds like another 7/10 that gets a few better scores because people are addicted to Soulslikes.
Re: Talking Point: What Improvements Would You Like To See Made To The Xbox Store?
Give me back my wishlist. Show the Game Pass discounts even if I'm not subbed.
Re: Talking Point: Have Xbox Series X|S Dynamic Backgrounds Lived Up To The Hype?
I'm an Xbox guy, but the PS4 themes were a lot cooler.
Re: Xbox Store Wishlists Will Soon Appear On Your Console Home Screen
I think it's a cool idea. But I'm still waiting for my old wishlist that MS erased...
Re: Xbox Reveals Full Daily Livestream Schedule For Gamescom 2024

I'm not in any hurry. I sincerely doubt it's a game I would actually enjoy but want to give it a chance anyways just in case. But not at the current price.
Re: Xbox 'End Of Summer' Sale Now Live, 500+ Games Discounted
Not gonna buy Baldur's Gate 3 unless it's a least 10 bucks or so.
But there are quite a few games that do interest me. Might get Forza Horizon 4.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Crash Bandicoot On Xbox Game Pass?
Wouldn't play them even for free, but that's just me.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 10-11)

Re: Talking Point: Is Local Co-Op On Xbox Still Important To You In 2024?

Re: Warner Bros Is 'Looking At' Outsourcing Its Famous IP To External Game Studios

As in "it's clear we don't have to do that again" aware.
Not holding my breath, but here's hoping.
Re: Square Enix's Final Fantasy I-VI Collection Returns This October, But Still Not For Xbox
I only care about FF III to be honest. I could buy it on Playstation but I don't even use it anymore to be honest.
Re: Xbox Attracts Controversy Over New McDonald's Ad On The Dashboard
It's completely the same to me. For me, it's as relevant as a COD ad.
