Most games this year so far have been from store sales. Still have many games on my wishlist waiting to appear on sales. I am patient, it will happen. Some have even made it to game pass so need to purchase. Guardians of the Galaxy for example.
I would like to know if there is going to be a GearsTactics 2 or similar game being worked on. Plus a Crackdown 4. In fact any news on future releases would be good to know.
Haven't played an F1 manager game for around 18 years or so. Last played EA F1 manager on PC. Loved that. Hope this new console edition will be good. Hope it comes to GP.
Totally agree. It would be very interesting to see digital sales chart to compare with physical. Does such a thing exist? At the very least an combination of the two to give everyone a better idea of true sales.
Since returning to Xbox a couple of years ago I've felt this one feature that would benefit Xbox.
Don't know how or if they'll support gyro control but surely a title like Microsoft Flight Simulator would be perfect for gyro support.
This is very welcome. Its good fun rhythm game.
Xbox is going in the right direction this gen, bringing gaming and many gaming styles to the masses!
I can still see a few gaps in the market for Phil and his teams to fill. I have faith in them, it will take a little longer but it's going to being an amazing time this gen for all gaming fans.
Recently bought Riders Republic in the Countdown sale. No regrets , great game. Played a trial of The Crew 2 , hated it. Not too sure if there's the variety of games within ubisoft+ for me. £12.99 is a no no, but £4.99 could tempt me to try perhaps? May be a trial 90 day period at £2.99 per month?
We Happy Few deluxe for the dlc. Just missed buying in the last sale by minutes.
Also Riders Republic which despite a few niggles I'm enjoying more than Forza Horizon 5. The variety of race events and equipment and the mass races are a blast!
Think this is the weakest month so far after my returning to playing Xbox 18 months ago. Others may like the choices though. Looking forward to February and playing my backlog of games whilst waiting.
@UltimateOtaku91 I for one absolutely LOVE Games for Gold! There's plenty for everyone on Gamepass. Gold always gives me a surprise. Something I may not thought of trying before. It can be hit and miss but I kinda like that.
I picked 4 as It really Wowed me the first time I played it. It was fantastic! 5 although good I'm feeling more of the same, different setting, improved graphics. Gotta add I've only played the last 2 games as the others aren't available digitally.
@LtSarge I've more or less abandoned Nintendo after supporting them for over 20 years. Think they become complainant recently. The switch has many shovelware titles and has been like this for quite a long time. I know they have their big exclusives but it's not enough . I have returned to Xbox for the last 18 months and I am having the best time for ages. The xbox IP's are absolutely fantastic and deserve far more recognition. I cannot believe Forza Horizon 5 didn't get GOTY nominated. The future for XBOX looks amazing for me! And Gamepass and Gold is no brainer despite its critics elsewhere.
In a word yes. I've been looking forward to this since Slitherine announced it. Even more excited now that it's coming to Gamepass. This will be a great addition to the service. It's had positive reviews so far elsewhere.
I'd quite like Godzilla. It was Godzilla and Dead or Alive series behind my buying an Xbox all those years ago. Then I discovered so many other gems on my gaming journey.
I totally agree. There are certainly gaps in the XBOX first party portfolio. Rhythm games, board games, puzzle games, Banjo Kazooie etc. It's gonna take time but I'm pretty sure they'll get there.
@K1LLEGAL Exactly. I had a similar situation with Gears 5. Went into Panic mode as I searched frantically for it on the store to find 'Buy now'. I was sure I owned this?
The Avengers and loving it!! Ring of pain, not bad. A Bards Tale 4, wanted to like it but kept crashing, unbalanced combat and awful and confusing menu system/contols.
The best racing on switch has arrived on Xbox! After playing Forza Horizon 4 for the past year and with Horizon 5 on the way hoping I still enjoy Asphalt as much as I used to. The competition is far greater on Xbox.
I loved this game on wii u! I have the special physical edition. Very scary game using the wiiu gamepad gyroscope. Will double dip on Series S and wondering how the game mechanics will translate? Hoping the experience will be as good if not better on Series S.

Re: Samurai Adventure Trek To Yomi Is Coming To Xbox Game Pass Day One
@sjbsixpack
I've watched videos of this amazing game. Unfortunately i have limited time to play everything so i'll stick with Xbox and switch for now.
Re: Samurai Adventure Trek To Yomi Is Coming To Xbox Game Pass Day One
I am very excited about this. Love samurai movies from 40s, 50s and 60s.
This is just up my street.

Re: These Five Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (February 17-28)
Can't wait to try Super Mega Baseball 3.
I was nearly tempted to buy it last week but soon on Ea Play. Result.
Shame Total War WH3not on XBOX though.
Re: Crusader Kings 3 Makes Console Debut On Xbox Game Pass This March

Crazy Taxi, Nights into dreams, Sonic Generations and Battlestations Midway.
Might have another look at the sale before it ends.

Mikulogic S and Grow Song of the Evertree.
Rocket League.
Re: Taiko No Tatsujin: The Drum Master Launches With Xbox Game Pass Next Week

Re: These Seven Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (January 20-31)
@JudaiMasters
Agreed.
Still hoping for Groove Coaster and /or Project Diva to make an appearance this year.
Re: Deals: Xbox Is Having A Massive Backwards Compatibility Sale This Week
Best sale so far this year!
Lots of titles under consideration from me.
Re: Liked Golf Story On Switch? Check Out RPGolf Legends On Xbox This Month
I'd prefer a Pangya game being brought to Xbox if possible. Loved that game. Apart from the wii version don't know how else to play it today.
Re: Talking Point: What Xbox Game Are You Most Excited For In 2022?
Warhammer 40k Darktide and probably some more titles still to be announced.
Re: Hatsune Miku Logic Paint S Arrives On Xbox Later This Month
One step closer to Project Diva on Xbox hopefully.
Xbox library is really missing a good rhythm title.
Groove Coaster from Taito is another fine example and could easily be ported to Xbox.
Re: The Ubisoft+ Subscription Service Is Officially Coming To Xbox
Recently bought Riders Republic in the Countdown sale.
No regrets , great game.
Played a trial of The Crew 2 , hated it.
Not too sure if there's the variety of games within ubisoft+ for me.
£12.99 is a no no, but £4.99 could tempt me to try perhaps? May be a trial 90 day period at £2.99 per month?
Re: Talking Point: What Have You Bought In The Xbox Countdown Sale 2021?
We Happy Few deluxe for the dlc. Just missed buying in the last sale by minutes.
Also Riders Republic which despite a few niggles I'm enjoying more than Forza Horizon 5. The variety of race events and equipment and the mass races are a blast!
Re: How Many Of These 2021 Xbox Games Can You Recognise?
19/20.
Was stumped at Question 16.

Any more additions to Xbox sale this week?
Re: Talking Point: What January 2021 Xbox Games With Gold Do You Want?
@UltimateOtaku91
I for one absolutely LOVE Games for Gold!
There's plenty for everyone on Gamepass.
Gold always gives me a surprise. Something I may not thought of trying before. It can be hit and miss but I kinda like that.
Re: Talking Point: What December 2021 Xbox Games With Gold Do You Want?
I would quite like Fable Heroes, Viva Pinata Party Animals, BoomBoom Rocket or any of the new backward compatible titles please.
Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite Forza Horizon Game So Far?
@Tasuki
Thanks, but no good for Series S.
Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite Forza Horizon Game So Far?
I picked 4 as It really Wowed me the first time I played it. It was fantastic!
5 although good I'm feeling more of the same, different setting, improved graphics.
Gotta add I've only played the last 2 games as the others aren't available digitally.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 13-14)
Forza Horizon 5, very good.
I have to say I am loving Dicey Dungeons.
Very addictive.
Re: Reaction: Looking Back At An Excellent First Year For The Xbox Series X|S
@Zag_Man I love Gears Tactics!
Hoping for a sequel.
Re: 10+ Classic Games Mysteriously Added To Old Xbox Marketplace
I'd quite like Godzilla. It was Godzilla and Dead or Alive series behind my buying an Xbox all those years ago. Then I discovered so many other gems on my gaming journey.
Re: Phil Spencer Wants Xbox To Invest In More 'Social, Casual Content'
I totally agree. There are certainly gaps in the XBOX first party portfolio.
Rhythm games, board games, puzzle games, Banjo Kazooie etc.
It's gonna take time but I'm pretty sure they'll get there.
Re: Rumour: Xbox Fans Will 'Definitely' Want To Watch The 20th Anniversary Show
Xbox original mini perhaps?
Re: Total War: Warhammer III Is Launching With Xbox Game Pass For PC
Let me know when it's coming Xbox series consoles.
Re: SEGA And Microsoft Partner Up To Bring Next-Gen Games Via The Cloud
Do you think they Sega will bring Project Diva to XBOX finally with this deal?
Re: Age Of Empires 4 Team Suggests An Xbox Version Is On The Cards
Yes please, XBOX game studios make it happen.
Re: Here Are Your Xbox Games With Gold For November 2021
@K1LLEGAL
Exactly. I had a similar situation with Gears 5. Went into Panic mode as I searched frantically for it on the store to find 'Buy now'. I was sure I owned this?
Re: Here Are Your Xbox Games With Gold For November 2021
Another good month. Haven't any these titles. All reviewed well.
Looking forward to November!
Re: Philips Reveals Two New 'Designed For Xbox Series X' Monitors
Aren't Phillips owned by Sony? If so I find this amusing.
Needs to be cheaper dammit!!!
Re: You Should Soon Be Able To Play PC Games On Xbox With GeForce Now

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 23-24)

Re: Here Are Your Xbox Games With Gold For October 2021

Re: Yes, The Elder Scrolls 6 Is Reportedly A 'Planned' Xbox Exclusive
Elder Scrolls 6? An exclusive?
Yes I agree with that.
With so many more exclusives to come hopefully. Otherwise what would be the point of expanding Xbox Game studios 1st party.
Re: Xbox Teases 'Exclusive News' For The Tokyo Game Show 2021

Re: Free-To-Play Racer Asphalt 9: Legends Is Now Available On Xbox
The best racing on switch has arrived on Xbox!
After playing Forza Horizon 4 for the past year and with Horizon 5 on the way hoping I still enjoy Asphalt as much as I used to.
The competition is far greater on Xbox.
Re: Fatal Frame: Maiden Of Black Water Will Include A Free Xbox Series X And Series S Upgrade
I loved this game on wii u!
I have the special physical edition. Very scary game using the wiiu gamepad gyroscope.
Will double dip on Series S and wondering how the game mechanics will translate?
Hoping the experience will be as good if not better on Series S.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 14-15)
Crackdown, Train Sim World 2 and Flight Sim.
Plus Rocket League.
So many other games to play, not enough time. Never a dull moment on XBOX.
