I thought it was alright, but I know I'm in the minority here.
Everyone should also remember that the games aren't put on GP for free.
Sandfall should have received money from Microsoft and no one forced them to accept.
Question is, would those hypothetical sales be more or less money than the amount they received from MS in the first place?
It was a chore exploring, honestly. The combat was fun even though it doesn't really change that much throughout. Reminded me of Shadow Hearts back on the PS2 and those Paper Mario games. I feel like some enemies were unfair, like that boss that attacks like 20 times in a row. Took me a few turns to realize it was gonna attack one more time than last. 🤣
No, I said it's not a good game to use as metric if you wanna know if Xbox gamers are interested in Sony's first party titles which are mainly single player.
Honestly, whatever it is, I'll be looking with interest but with no hurry to update. We'll see. I'm not going back to Playstation which is always like double the price (on consoles AND games) here, and the less said about Nintendo, the better.
I always thought it tried to capture those things that were scary when we were kids. But I'm talking out of my butt because at most I watched some trailers.
Nope. It is one of my least favorite Assassin's Creed games. A remake can't fix its problems. The only remake I would be kind of interested would be a remake of the first one.
More games added via retrocompatibility, less games skipping the console, Rewards on my region, all of the free-to-play games that are on PS (I guess this is the same as the second point), less games skipping my region.

Re: Is Xbox Game Pass Unsustainable? Arkane Founder Sparks Huge Debate On Social Media
I think games like Expedition 33 showed you can make a successful game that is a Day 1 on GP and still sells really well.
For Microsoft itself, I think they would have axed it already if it wasn't.

Re: Poll: Helldivers 2 Isn't On Xbox Game Pass, So Will You Be Buying It?
As I said before that mentality of "Xbox players should show they care" it's really silly.
Why would I need to buy a game I'm not interested in and never wanted in the first place?
There's a lot of better games in which to spend my money.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 5-6)
Finished Expedition 33 last week (it was OK), so now I'm playing Raidou Remastered which I'm already enjoying a lot more.

Not surprising for me, to be honest.
Re: Helldivers 2 Developer Shuts Down Xbox Game Pass Rumour
@SeaDaVie
Not my point, no need to get defensive my man.
Re: Helldivers 2 Developer Shuts Down Xbox Game Pass Rumour
@Kaloudz
I'd say it's not a good choice. It's not like I'm interested in Sony's first party games, but an online one is something I would never spend money on.
Re: Random: Over 1M People Have Signed A Petition To 'Stop Killing Games'
@PsBoxSwitchOwner
Yes, that's the one I know.
Re: Random: Over 1M People Have Signed A Petition To 'Stop Killing Games'
I'd like to see a list of all the games that have been "killed" but I didn't find it.
Re: PlayStation Is Publishing Helldivers 2 On Xbox, Signalling A Shift In Strategy From Sony
I've seen a lot of $ony fanboys saying "hope Xbox players buy this one if they want more".
Yeah, but I don't care about this one though.
Re: PlayStation Is Publishing Helldivers 2 On Xbox, Signalling A Shift In Strategy From Sony
Honestly there isn't a single Sony game that I want, so this doesn't affect me at all. But it's good news for sure.
Re: Helldivers 2 Is Officially Releasing For Xbox This August
@Kienda
Two games that we have no idea if were going to be amazing or not. But I do get the point. And yeah, it sucks.

Still waiting for that MHA game that isn't a fighting one.

Re: After Half A Year, These Are The 10 Highest-Rated Xbox Games Of 2025
I'd put Like a Dragon and Assassin's Creed on top.
The others I don't care about or don't even make it to my top 10.
Re: Rockstar's First Red Dead Online Update In Years Channels 'Undead Nightmare' Energy
I never enjoyed Undead Nightmare.
Crazy because it sounds great on paper but it wasn't my thing at all.

I take offense on that! I played almost every WWE game and I can safely say they're samey samey samey. 🤣
Re: Two Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (July 1)

I always thought it tried to capture those things that were scary when we were kids.
But I'm talking out of my butt because at most I watched some trailers.
Re: Two Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (July 1)
@Kaloudz
I've found it alright to be honest. Not bad by any means but definitely didn't live up to the hype (for me).
The music was fantastic though.
I want to try LN too but I need to play the first one.
Re: Six Games Are Leaving Xbox Game Pass In Early July 2025
Nothing for me, so I'm good.
Re: Two Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (July 1)
Finished Expedition 33 so I think I'll try Tomb Raider.

Re: Talking Point: Would You Play An Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Remake?
Nope. It is one of my least favorite Assassin's Creed games. A remake can't fix its problems.
The only remake I would be kind of interested would be a remake of the first one.
Re: Elder Scrolls 6 Trailer 'Getting Closer' Despite No-Show At Xbox Games Showcase 2025
I think this is one of the few games that could give Xbox consoles a boost if it was exclusive. But that's not happening. Not now nor in 2097.
Re: All New Xbox Games Coming Out In July 2025
It'll be a good month for Game Pass it seems.
Re: Talking Point: What's Your Xbox Game Of The Year For 2025 So Far?
Assassin's Creed Shadows and Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
I know Expedition 33 will be first in the poll, but I don't think it's for me (currently giving it another chance, act 2).
Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon In July 2025
Maybe I'll finally play the second Tomb Raider game if I manage to finish Expedition 33.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 28-29)
Finally giving Expedition 33 another chance.
I'll be playing that and Persona 5 The Phantom X.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want To See From Xbox In The Second Half Of The Year?

I think that's it.

Re: Hellblade 2 Will Remain At 30FPS On Xbox Series S, Reveals Microsoft
Nothing wrong with that to be honest. If you want/expect 60 FPS on everything you've probably grabbed an X.

Re: Two New Little Nightmares Games Are Coming To Xbox This October
Haven't played any of these yet, It's one of my GF's favorites (the first one), so I'll try them sooner or later.
Re: Volcano Princess Arrives On Xbox Game Pass To 'Overwhelmingly Positive' Reviews
I'll try it. I have played a few kinda like this and they're always fun.
Re: Here's What's Included In The Xbox June 2025 Update
@AccessibleDaydream
That's what I thought! I wouldn't have minded that.
But I guess they WANT you to see the add-ons. And the 'buy" button if it's a Game Pass game.
Re: Here's What's Included In The Xbox June 2025 Update
@RBRTMNZ
Yeah, I don't like it. If you press X instead of A, the game opens directly.
But my muscle memory is so used to A.
