I hope it's not like Hi-Fi Rush. That game was good, but it wasn't good enough to want to play more of them. Also, I hope there is Not a focus on co-op because I play alone and don't particularly want to play with more people.
I tried to play Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 and they were so slow and tedious and boring. Same with Starfield. Looks like Bethesda games are Not my thing...
It needs to be something along the lines of Xbox is getting its very own God of War or Uncharted or The Last of Us style game series that is exclusive to the Xbox but is very much a single player story driven game of those magnitudes. And nothing to do with Gears of War or Halo. Those games are fun, but not nearly as good as some other 3rd person style games. Those are the best games made.
I agree, Xbox doesn't have any great games lately. The best games are to Big Story drive, single player campaign games and Xbox gets none of those. Ever... I have been an Xbox fanboy for years and years and I have lately been playing my PS5 more because the games are better for someone like me who only plays single player story games. Xbox needs to step up and learn from PlayStation on how to make really good single player games.
@y2jarmyofficial None of the games you mentioned are on the same caliber as what PlayStation has been putting out. I have been finding myself playing my PS more than my Series X because of the lack of 3rd person single player story campaign games. Halo is fine every 10 years when a new one comes out, Gears is fine every 10 years, Starfield felt too much like Fallout and it was boring. Forza is a racing game so it's extremely repetitive. Hellblade 2 is honestly the only good game coming out in the future that is even close to being what some of us want out of gaming.
Hopefully Xbox starts bringing some good games to the system. Need more God of War, The Last of Us and Spider-Man style games that Playstation makes. I havnt been impressed with any of the games Xbox has been coming out with. Starfield was slow, Souls like games are dumb and racing games are only fun for like the first day. Give us more Third person, story driven single player, campaign style games so All of us can be included in gaming...
@GunValkyria In my opinion, the One thing Xbox is missing is good First-person story driven single player games like God of War, The Last of Us and Spiderman. These are the main reason I play games and there have been almost zero on Xbox with the exception of multiplat games like Assassins Creed and a handful of other games. And i am in no way talking about Souls like games. There are way too many of those and don't interest me at all.
@CenturianShark I LOVE seeing other people who feel the same way I do about these games. They look amazing and the lore is really cool, but the difficulty is too much and the backtracking when you die or not having enough potions or health is annoying. I want a Souls or Elden Ring game but with an Assassins Creed or God of War style playthrough. Where when you die, you just start right back at the boss and dont have to go through hours of play again just to get back to that point.
@ZuneTattooGuy Yeah, I couldn't agree more. These "Dynamic" backgrounds have been useless. I have been using the Ghostwire Tokyo one because it's the best one they have made.
Hopefully it's a show that follows the exact story of the game. Because I only ever played like a couple hours of Fallout 4 and couldn't get into it because the games are so slow and boring. But the lore and a tv show would be pretty cool.
I like it a lot, however I do also very much like the huge world of Valhalla and all of the customization options. I loved the skill tree and being able to do so many things in the larger games. But this one is fun in its own way and feels condensed into one type of game and I appreciate that. But hopefully they bring back a massive world bigger than Valhalla for future games. I like to explore and finding hundreds of collectibles and playing for over 200 hours to complete everything and see everything the game has to offer.
@Kaloudz This is fantastic news. My biggest gripe about the new Xbox controller is that dumb capture button in the middle. I have clicked that so many times on accident and my kids click that button so many times that I am always going through my captured images and videos and deleting them because for me personally, it's a useless feature that I don't and will never use. I have remapped the button so many times already, but it keeps removing my remapping and going back to the original capture button so i will just have to deal with it.
This looks awesome... I'm just waiting for the Souls Like branding on it to ruin yet another game for me... Hopefully this is more like Assassins Creed and not like Souls.
@Fenbops You didn't like it? I thought it was fun and calming. The story was fun and getting to walk around and do cat things in a robot world is a cool idea.
I'm so happy that Stray is coming to Game pass. I started it and got maybe 1/3 of the way through it on PlayStation 5 but then they removed it from the PlayStation Plus program and I would have had to buy it... I finally get to finish it!
Assassins Creed is my favorite game series ever. But I was so happy when they veered away from the original trilogy ways of playing. I like the gameplay and style of Vikings and Odyssey and the last few. I like the game taking me 245 hours to complete everything. I like how big the maps are and how much there was to do. I was so happy that I didn't have to stand in a crowd of people to "hide" from the enemies or follow someone for 45 minutes while not losing track of them. I don't know man... I guess I like things differently than most people.
All I want is the roster to contain every single playable character from every single MK game ever made. They made an amazing looking game and it looks fun as hell, but if there is only 8 characters to play with, then it will get old quick.
I'm just happy that I was able to cancel my pre-order of this game 2 days ago and get a full refund. I am a huge Lord of the Rings fan and i wanted to like this game so much, but after seeing the reviews and watching the actual gameplay, i have to say that it looks like a pile of garbage.
I'm waiting for the patch that stops the stuttering and a complete revamp of the absolutely horrendous map. Also, having them include an on-screen view of your objectives so you can see at all times where you want to go instead of having to click the map every 3 seconds to make sure you are going the right direction. Forget using BD to view your objective, that was a waste of resources to add in the game. Lastly, you should be able to click a button to use the Force to "see" your surroundings and see through walls and see collectibles around you.
@ZuneTattooGuy Yup, the best games out there. I really only play these types of games. I hate online multiplayer games because i am not good at them and even games that have a single player mode, most of the achievements are for the online mode which i wont play so i will never be able to 100% the game.
@ZuneTattooGuy Horizon Zero Dawn, Horizon Forbidden West, God of War, God of War Ragnarok, Spiderman, Ghost of Tsushima (currently playing), Detroit, Strayed, The Last of Us.
@Green-Bandit This was very well written. I enjoyed reading this and agree with you. I am very much enjoying my time with my PlayStation but I mostly use it for console exclusives. I want to continue to grow my Gamerscore on Xbox, so all games make multi-platform will be played on Xbox Series X.
@Green-Bandit Agreed. My whole life i was a Xbox fanboy and didnt like Playstation... But i just got sick of waiting so i got myself a PS5 and have been having a blast playing all the single player games. So much fun!
I just need Ubisoft to make an infinite number of follow ups to their 360 games. Naruto Rise of a Ninja and Naruto The Broken Bond. Those are some of my favorite games of all time and I really want to them to make more. The Ultimate Ninja games are fine for fighting games, but I loved the open world and the use of jutsu on the old Ubisoft ones...
I would much rather leave the old generation stuff alone and focus entirely on new technology and games. Make the 4K at 60FPS a standard. Bring out more Dynamic Backgrounds for the Series X. More 3rd person, single player campaign games.
They need to fix the speed of the site. Its so damn slow. Every time i click on something to go get points or whatever, it takes like 15-20 seconds for it to load. It's like loading an old webpage and takes forever. Should be instant if its built into the Series X. And no, my internet connection isnt slow.
@GuyinPA75 Finally someone who gets is! I dont mind a hard boss battle every now and then, but like you said, i dont want to fight one boss for an hour and if i die i have to start back at the beginning and have lost everything I collected up to that point. Only having one healing potion... Its not fun for me.
