For someone who hasn't played this, it seems like avowed took a lot of cues from oblivion. Having just finished avowed a few weeks back, are these 2 games very similar? I just don't want to jump right back into a similar game so close to eachother. If so, I'll wait til summer.
@Skedaddle same as always my dude. Nothing new here, and the same discounts as previous sales. RE4R has been on sale for $20 at least 2 dozens times by now is my point. Same with red dead redemption 2. And so many others.
Never played the original oblivion or even Skyrim believe it or not. I'll give oblivion a look for sure, but fallout 3 remaster would really get me excited.
Not to be that guy, but I do have a feeling this won't be nearly as good as critics are saying. Felt the same about animal well and balatro last year. Both were duds for me unfortunately. I'll give it a shot since it's on GP at some point though.
If it keeps up the way it is, I'm going to say South Of Midnight(on ch 9 thus far). Next in line would be Ninja Gaiden II Black and then Avowed in third.
Hate to say it, but nothing on the Nintendo kinda stings for me lol. I've never had this slow of a nintendo year since maybe 2018?
So far so good 5 chapters in. Combat is a bit chaotic when there are more than 3 enemies, but exploration, voice acting, visuals, story, and traversal are all top notch. Really glad I'm trying it out.
I'll be coming off avowed, and still playing xenoblade chronicles x. This may have to wait til after doom. I'm just not sure I can keep pumping out these rpgs after M&L, DQ3, Visions of Mana, avowed, and xenoblade. I definitely need a break no matter how good this looks, which is really good.
Avowed and XCX:DE two giant games that will be taking me well into may. At least XCX will. I'm hoping I can finish avowed by the time South of Midnight launches.
Im just hoping for some actual discounts that aren't the norm. Most of these sales it's the same games with the same discounts every time. If RE4R goes $15 or below, I'll grab it. If dragons dogma 2 gets close to $30 or so, ill nab it. If infinite wealth hits $25ish, count me in. Also, I'll keep a close eye on split fiction to see if it gets 20% off or something.
Avowed. Finally was able to start this up last night. Only played an hour so not sure where I stand just yet. The combat takes some getting used to though. I had to change to 3rd person for a better view of the world.
Wwe 2k24 still. My son and I play a few matches every day. After seeing footage and rosters of 25, I don't feel the need buy 25 yet.
On Switch:
Mario Wonder. Mostly for Mario day I'm playing through before xcx. If I have time I'll probably play a smaller Mario title like 3d land or nsmb 2.
SK:Specter of Tormet i needed some comfort food gaming coming off DQ3 which I did not like, this is is getting me back on track.
I've been getting burnt out on rpgs but I need to play this. Looks amazing and the fact that it's their first game, makes me want to play that much more.
@FatGuyInLilCoat I'm getting burnt out on rpgs myself. That's why I'm worried to give avowed a try. Might be better to wait it out. Not to mention, about to jump in XCX later this month 🤦♂️
On xbox- wwe 2k24 Alone in the Dark I'm nearly done with the 4th chapter and next chapter is the final. I think I'm going to power through and try to finish tonight/ tomorrow.
On switch- DQIII HD2D to be honest, I'm not enjoying this one anymore. I'm just trying to roll credits since I've invested so much time. I've turned down the difficulty to easy to avoid any severe grinding. I think I'm in the final 5 or so hours of this one too, and I can't wait to be able to move on.

Re: Opinion: South Of Midnight Reminds Me Why I Love Xbox Game Pass
So far so good 5 chapters in. Combat is a bit chaotic when there are more than 3 enemies, but exploration, voice acting, visuals, story, and traversal are all top notch. Really glad I'm trying it out.

Re: Here's The First 'Top 10' Metacritic List Of 2025 For Xbox Series X|S
