This, Star Wars: Outlaws, Assassin's Creed Shadows and Dragon Age all potentially coming at the end of the year? What a great 2024. Won't have enough time to play all.
You're being polite, so I don't see why this would start a fight.
I did enjoy The Witcher 3, yeah, but since those games are based on books I don't think it's a good example. I prefer when it's like in Dragon Age, where you can choose your class/sex/appearance/and even your name. I get more easily attached to a character that way and easier to feel like it's yourself in that world. Even the new AC games which took a more Witcher 3-style let you at least choose between female and male and then romance whoever you want. I'm just asking for the possibility of choice which I think would make the most people happy. It's just a personal preference though, not trying to push my way of thinking unto others.
I can speak only for myself, but I don't care about how hot the character is.
I like creating my own character when it comes to RPGs, that's half the fun.
And if it is a game I really like, maybe I play again with a different character or sex and try the different romances.
I also just want to point out how I'm not trying to diminish anyone's enjoyment of the game (just asking for choice) vs how I don't deserve to have fun because I don't think like someone else does. 😂
Definitely the surprise of the show. My jaw dropped when I realized it was turn based (with action stuff, but yeah). Reaaaally interested in that one, looked amazing. And it's coming to Game Pass too.
The gameplay reveal hyped me twice as much.
The companion romance you mention sounds a lot like... well, not Baldur's Gate but pretty much all three Dragon Age games.
I really liked what I saw.
And Hardins looks really hot! What the heck, people?
Outlaws and Shadows... Well I was going to say "stole the show" but it was always about those two.
Exceeded expectations, that's for sure.
And mine were high.
Solid B for me. Too much first-person shooters for my taste, but it was a really cool show. Not a lot of games for me in particular but the few that do interest me look really good.
I don't usually like Square Enix games, but since both are on Game Pass I'll give the first one a try. Not sure if I'll like it, but that's the beauty of Game Pass. I can try it/them without paying $75.
I'm thinking we'll see something at Ubi Forward. And after The Lost Crown which was spectacular, I'm optimistic. And of course, really hyped about Shadows.
Hoping is it not a remaster or remake stuff. I'm tired of that. Would be dissapointing. Having backwards compatibility is enough for me and makes remakes and remasters even more unnecessary.
There's a few metroidvanias in my backlog so I tried starting The Last Case of Benedict Fox but it crashed on me. I uninstalled and installed again but while I was doing that I said "well, I'll try F.I.S.T" and man I got hooked. Really, really good. Thanks, Game Pass
I'll probably continue with Jedi Survivor too.

Re: Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Launches On Xbox To Fantastic Reviews
The only "bad" review must be for not being a Sony exclusive. That's at least one point less for sure. 😂
Already have it, but I won't be playing it anytime soon. Too much backlog, too many other games I'm more interested in.
Re: Reminder: Five Games Are Leaving Xbox Game Pass This Weekend
Managed to finish Bramble and Boowalker. Both good, unique games.
Re: Xbox 360 'Cult Classic' Lollipop Chainsaw Returns This September For Series X|S
Never had the chance to play this one back in the day. If it's uncensored I might pick it up.

Re: Talking Point: How Are You Feeling About Fable After The Xbox Games Showcase?
@Aniscape
It was a crime how that game didn't receive even one award. It was magical experience. Might play it again soon.

@FarmDog08
That would be a cool "twist"! Wouldn't mind that at all.
Re: Talking Point: How Are You Feeling About Fable After The Xbox Games Showcase?
@ZuneTattooGuy
I sincerely hope you can create your own character so everyone can have fun, no matter how that person perceives themselves.
Re: Talking Point: How Are You Feeling About Fable After The Xbox Games Showcase?
100% hyped if I can choose a male protagonist or even better, create my own.
0% if not.

@Old_Man_Harper
You think maybe Isabella will be back? A short appearance at least?

Re: Star Wars Outlaws Game Length Revealed Ahead Of August Xbox Launch
I like both 30 hs games and 200 hs games. So I would be glad either way.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Gets Huge Gameplay Deep Dive Ahead Of Fall 2024 Launch On Xbox
I'm really hyped. I don't know where the negativity came from, but it looks good.
Re: Forza Horizon Fans, The Crew Motorfest Could Be Well Worth Checking Out Later This Year
Horizon didn't grab me, so maybe I'll give it a try.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Looks Gorgeous In Next-Gen Extended Gameplay
@xboxjapanfan
No game in the series is. It's historical fiction. That's why the final boss in II it's the freaking pope.
Re: Here's Everything That Was Revealed At Ubisoft Forward 2024
Outlaws and Shadows... Well I was going to say "stole the show" but it was always about those two.
Exceeded expectations, that's for sure.
And mine were high.
Re: Avowed Xbox Showcase Deep Dive Reveals Third-Person Gameplay
Hell yeah! That's amazing news.
Re: Star Wars Outlaws Looks Better Than Ever In Latest Gameplay Trailer
I watched 7 movies for this.
Looks amazing. It really surprised me. Can't wait.
Re: Poll: How Would You Grade Ubisoft Forward 2024?
Completely biased but an A.
SW and AC are two of the coolest games I've seen in a while.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Looks Gorgeous In Next-Gen Extended Gameplay
I don't care what anyone says, this looks like it's going to be my GOTY.
HYPED! It looks so good.
Re: Eidos Montreal Confirms It's Supporting The Development Of Fable
Have they confirmed character creation yet?
Re: Phil Spencer On Recent Studio Closures: It's About Running A 'Sustainable Business'
Only in these articles can you find the Sony fanboys. 😂
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Brings BioWare RPG Back To Xbox In Fall 2024
Trailer definitely hyped me for this. It was really cool how they (not) showed the main character.
And man, Hardins was really hot this time.
Re: Poll: How Would You Grade The Xbox Games Showcase 2024?
Solid B for me. Too much first-person shooters for my taste, but it was a really cool show.
Not a lot of games for me in particular but the few that do interest me look really good.
Re: 'Gears Of War: E-Day' Is The Next Instalment In Xbox's Famous Franchise
I enjoyed both 4 and 5 but this really hypes me.
Re: Fable Officially Returns To Xbox In 2025, Featuring Even More Snarky Humour
100% interested if it has character creation. 0% interested if not.
Re: South Of Midnight Gets Gameplay Reveal, Coming To Xbox Game Pass In 2025
I dig the stop-motion style.
Re: Roundup: All The Xbox Reveals From Day Of The Devs & Devolver Direct 2024
Have the words "designed for a modern audience" ever meant something good? 😂
Re: Roundup: All The Xbox Reveals From The Future Games Show 'Summer Showcase' 2024
Only Eternal Strands for me, but the work is appreciated!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 8-9)
Trying to finish 2 games that are leaving Game Pass.
Bramble and the Mountain King and The Book Walker.
A little Ace Attorney Trilogy and Double Dragon Gaiden on the side.
Re: Here's What Might Be Leaving Xbox Game Pass In July 2024
Sword and Fairy is the only one I care for in that list.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 8-9)
@RaZieLDaNtE
Odyssey is such a great game. One of my favorites. Hope you enjoy it!

I don't mind the wait at all.
Re: BioWare Has A Brand-New Name For The Next Dragon Age
Hypeeeeed. Dragon Age 2 and Inquisition were great.
Re: Report: Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League Lost $200 Million For Warner Bros
Hogwarts Legacy made all that money so they lose it with this...
Re: Two Square Enix RPG Get A Surprise Release On Xbox Game Pass
I don't usually like Square Enix games, but since both are on Game Pass I'll give the first one a try.
Not sure if I'll like it, but that's the beauty of Game Pass. I can try it/them without paying $75.
Re: Here's The Complete List Of Xbox 360 Exclusives Disappearing This July
Still more retrocompatibilty than Sony.
Re: Talking Point: 10 Years Ago, Phil Spencer's First E3 In Charge Marked A Turning Point For Xbox
We wouldn't even be here without Uncle Phil.
Re: Our Predictions For The 2024 Xbox Games Showcase
Really hoping it's more than that or at least different or personally I'd be dissapointed. Of those games I would only care about Gears 6.
Here's hoping for Fable, or even maybe something new. Release date for Avowed.
Just don't give me remakes of games I can already play.
Re: Xbox Deals Unlocked 2024 Sale Now Live, 700+ Games Discounted
There's always something to buy. SF6 is tempting.
Re: Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time Remake Gets Support From Second Ubisoft Studio
I'm thinking we'll see something at Ubi Forward. And after The Lost Crown which was spectacular, I'm optimistic.
And of course, really hyped about Shadows.
Re: Rumour: Xbox Showcase To Feature First-Party Shadow Drop, Details On Portable Console
Hoping is it not a remaster or remake stuff. I'm tired of that. Would be dissapointing.
Having backwards compatibility is enough for me and makes remakes and remasters even more unnecessary.
Re: Pick One: What Was Your Favourite Xbox Game Pass Game In May 2024?
Haven't played any of those yet, but part of the reason is because I'm still trying to catch up with prior great additions.

YEEES! Thanks, man! I am very happy right now.
Re: Roundup: All The Xbox Reveals From May 2024's State Of Play Event
Damn, I was hoping Dynasty Warriors wasn't exclusive.
Re: Xbox's 'Top Paid Games' Chart Looks Very Different In Japan Right Now
Glad to see Persona 4 up there. Still one of the best JRPGs of all time.
