Attempted playing WatchDogs but it crashed six times in exactly the same place on a story mission, so its off my play-list until I can try on the new console.
Absolutely hated the first one, and enjoying London in Legion, so that's the winner for me. I know I completed the second iteration... but remember so little about it.
Started Watch Dogs, but think Ill leave it for new console instead. Seems fun from the one mission I played so far, before spending time just wandering around virtual London. It's pretty good, although I do keep wondering why certain landmarks are included, whilst others are completely missing...
Shame they could not have been more realistic with the initial delay. Wonder if will slip into 2021...? Still, Watch Dogs, Valhalla, and The Medium so will have new games to take up the slack!
@NEStalgia It was great, right?! Well, apart from the dodgy Oirish accent... Still hopeful of a redux one day, just like Kingdoms of Amalur finally received (which would have been on the list if this years ReAwakening had not happened).
Good question! Ones that come to mind from original Xbox are Gun, Armed & Dangerous, Sudeki, and The Punisher. Since then, on 360, probably Warhammer: Space Marine, Prey, King Kong, Alpha Protocol, Dante’s Inferno, The Saboteur, Spec Ops, and Divinity II spring to mind. On the One, maybe Plague Tale, Mad Max, Shadows: Awakening, Greedfall, Evil Within, or Bulletstorm...
Been a while since have played a genuinely terrible game, but the 360 he a few stinkers such as Bullet Witch, Overlord 2, Alone in the Dark, Legendary, and Jumper spring to mind!
Annoyingly... absolutely nothing. Still another week before I get internet access into my new place so having to deal with NPCs IRL whenever I can convince them to meet in a pub...
Was looking forward to this but irritating have to wait. Not just achievements, but just playability and lack of Very Hard mode. Really ugly as well, so hopefully patch can help there...
Just finished She sees Red, and tomorrow will be either Mortal Shell, or Pathfinder: Kingmaker. May have to try Battletoads at some point from sound of it.
Have been playing underrated-RPG Shadows: Awakening. Really enjoyable game with a few decent ideas, although not always executed brilliantly. Very fun, though.
Working through Destroy all Humans! and Yakuza Kiwami 2. DAH! is pretty fun, considering an original Xbox game, apart from the protagonists voice, a subpar Jack Nicholson impersonation.
Binary Domain and Jade Empire are the main ones. Maybe The Suffering too, just as it was the first game I bought at full price, and wouldn’t mind replaying it.
15/15 as well. I may be in a minority, but I liked the overall presentation and plan playing most of the games shown. Still intrigued to see what The Initiative are working on though...
Personally, I was quite happy with the show. Fable, STALKER, Avowed, Psychonauts... Maybe it’s because I was prepared for disappointment like the last console launch that I,am more than happy with this one. Will probably wait for Christmas before grabbing the console, but getting it I shall be.
Cool, actually looking forward to a few, esp Destroy all Humans, and the next Yakuza. Maid of Sker and Hellpoint on the radar too, if I manage to find the time!

Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite Mass Effect Game?
Played, and loved, the first one far too much so it just about beats ME2 for me. Both great games.
Re: These 50+ Games Are Coming To Xbox Next Week (Nov 10-13)
Quite looking forward to replaying XIII, one of the first games I ever played back on original Xbox. Plus Vikings, obviously!
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Are Saying About Yakuza: Like A Dragon
Not a fan of turn-based games so will probably pass on this
Re: Poll: Has Your Xbox Series X|S Shipped Yet?
The money was taken from my account on Tuesday, but not yet shipped.

Re: Apple TV Arrives On Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S Next Week
Subscribed to Apple TV for a while, so looks good to me. Ted Lasso is WELL worth a viewing!
Re: Pick One: Which Of These Spooky Xbox Games Is Your Favourite?
Alien Isolation and Evil Within 2 are both great games, but Dead Space wins it for me. Even had a pretty decent sequel, less so the threequel...

Re: Xbox To Host Series X|S Celebration Livestream On Nov. 10
Received my confirmation from Microsoft store, so looking good!
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Delayed Again, Now Releases In December
Shame they could not have been more realistic with the initial delay. Wonder if will slip into 2021...?
Still, Watch Dogs, Valhalla, and The Medium so will have new games to take up the slack!

Re: Talking Point: Which Is The Most Underrated Xbox Game?
@jongred Good call with The Godfather - totally forgot about it but it was a really fun game!

Re: Talking Point: What Is The Worst Xbox Game You've Ever Played?
@JayJ Agreed! At least I managed to finish Crackdown 3 campaign, which is more than I could with the second one. Very, very poor.

Re: Talking Point: Were You A Fan Of The Original Xbox 'Duke' Controller?
Hated it! Elite controller soooo much better.

Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Are Saying About Kingdoms Of Amalur: Re-Reckoning So Far
Played this for many hours now, and looks like the patch worked, as zero bugs encountered since.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (Sep 19th)
Played a bit of Re-reckoning, and Crysis remaster, otherwise have been trying out RealLife most of the weekend.
Re: Don't Worry, Xbox Series Pre-Orders Won't Be Shadow Dropped
Will buy one eventually, but with all the game postponements, most likely 2021.
Re: Pick One: Which Of These Newly Announced Ubisoft Games Are You Most Excited For?
Fenyx. Least worst option, albeit most awful title in quite some time.
Re: THQ Nordic Apologies For Kingdoms Of Amalur Issues On Xbox One

Re: These 20+ Games Are Coming To Xbox Next Week (Sep 8-11)
Absolutely loved Kingdoms of Amalur on the 360 - definitely will be picking this one up! Vampire: Masquerade sounds interesting too.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 22nd)
Just finished She sees Red, and tomorrow will be either Mortal Shell, or Pathfinder: Kingmaker.
May have to try Battletoads at some point from sound of it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 14th)
Have been playing underrated-RPG Shadows: Awakening. Really enjoyable game with a few decent ideas, although not always executed brilliantly. Very fun, though.
Re: Remedy Is Working On A Game In The Same Universe As Control & Alan Wake
Really liked Alan Wake, not so much a fan of Control. Definitely interested in what they do next.
Re: Soulslike Action-RPG Mortal Shell Arrives On Xbox Later This Month
Looks interesting. I enjoyed the three Dark Souls games, but not really any of the imitators. This may be the one!
Re: Microsoft Reveals 7 More Games Coming To Xbox Game Pass In August
Annoyingly I bought Darksiders, and Men of Medan, but never got round to playing them. A couple of others in there will also give a go.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (Aug 1st)
@Medic_Alert I played for a few hours recently and quite enjoyed it, but not a classic! Hopefully third time will be the charm.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (Aug 1st)
Working through Destroy all Humans! and Yakuza Kiwami 2. DAH! is pretty fun, considering an original Xbox game, apart from the protagonists voice, a subpar Jack Nicholson impersonation.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Do You Want Added To Xbox Backwards Compatibility?
Cheers JoakimZ! Somehow managed to miss that. Just hope it holds up to my memory of it!
Re: Talking Point: What Games Do You Want Added To Xbox Backwards Compatibility?
Binary Domain and Jade Empire are the main ones. Maybe The Suffering too, just as it was the first game I bought at full price, and wouldn’t mind replaying it.
Re: You'll Be Able To Play Disintegration For Free On Xbox This Weekend
I actually bought this when it was released. Not bad but definitely underwhelming. May revisit, but no time soon.
Re: Talking Point: What August 2020 Xbox Games With Gold Do You Want?
Been a while since looked at GwG, has Fable been on it? Post-reveal, maybe one of those, or Halo BC?
Re: Pick One: Which Of These Xbox Series X Games Are You Most Excited For?
Am hopeful for Fable, but Avowed simply as it’s new, looks like Skyrim, and Obsidian are RPG masters. ETA TBA...
Re: Can You Identify All Of These Games From July's Xbox Showcase?
15/15 as well. I may be in a minority, but I liked the overall presentation and plan playing most of the games shown. Still intrigued to see what The Initiative are working on though...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 25th)
With State of Decay 3 announcement, I’ve visited part 2. It’s a really fun game, and I genuinely have no idea why I’ve left it so long!
Re: Poll: How Would You Grade July's Xbox Games Showcase?
Personally, I was quite happy with the show. Fable, STALKER, Avowed, Psychonauts... Maybe it’s because I was prepared for disappointment like the last console launch that I,am more than happy with this one. Will probably wait for Christmas before grabbing the console, but getting it I shall be.
