I just beat The Lost Crown last night on switch. So now, I'm going to really try and and hammer out Robocop Rogue City and once I'm done with that, fire up Arkham Asylum as I don't want to play too many games at once. For the gameclub I'm playing Sunset Overdrive With the family, I'm playing Illusion Island. We're loving this game. Such a fun little metroidvania.

@eire-shabba i actually like the themes myself. Those colors really pop! But I just can't bring myself to change my hi fi theme.

With how great the game is, I'd feel obligated to buy it on switch if it comes.

Going to fire it up tonight

@Markatron84 thats your opinion i suppose. There's quite a bit I'd like to say in response to your comment. However, seeing as though I genuinely love hanging out in this community, along with NL, it's probably best I don't get too into it.

I'll be waiting for the price drop on the base game and I'll probably bite.

@Markatron84 well, it's like that age old saying goes, "did you bring enough for the whole class?" In other words, if you do one, you have to do them all. You can't do something for specific groups and leave some out. I couldn't be bothered either way personally, just playing devils advocate here.

I haven't changed my hi fi rush background since I installed it.

@Tasuki let me know if you do. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts

@Tasuki I've been meaning to tell you. It's great man. Some small glitches like mouths being connected on NPCs while they're talking, or visual glitches such as lighting flickering or npcs being stuck in the wall if you send them flying toward it. Nothing crazy or game breaking. Just silly little things. And it may just be because I have an S. Maybe it's better on the x. Game runs fine though.

As for the actual core gameplay. It's amazing. Busting baddies, finding evidence and drugs to collect, decision making with regards to crimes or personal feelings, writing tickets, shooting and punching your way through drug dens and hideouts. I love it man. I bought the Alex Murphy edition which I Don't think offers much but it was the first discount they had for the game so I got it. I can't recommend it enough. It's really a love letter.

I'll play for a handful of hours at least since it'll be on gamepass. I used to buy this game every year, but I don't have the time to commit to sports titles as much as I used to.

I really need to find some time for it. But I know I'll get 15-20hrs in and get side tracked. Just way too much going on right now. I had a hard enough time committing to sea of stars, P5T, and starfield, and those were all sizable games that took up time.

Didn't really find all that much I need to shell money out for.

At some point down the line I'll buy infinite wealth. Just too many games right now.

Not even really bothered by it. I plan on buying day 1 anyway.

@Baler well I love them both just about equally. They're two totally different experiences imo. Botw is more tranquil and calming to me. Totk is the complete opposite where it's balls to the wall insane every step of the way, but I love both.

I don't see why N can't have both styles moving forward. Even if they rotate traditional 3d +2d zelda. Then do botw/totk style every decade. I think there's room for both in the future.

@Baler I'm just waiting for the inevitable switch or switch 2 port of TP. I already own it on Wii and Wii U. But the zelda dope that I am will buy it a 3rd time.

@Romans12 it's such a gem of a game. I can't get enough of punching baddies and throwing myself across a room lol

My main is The Lost Crown but im also playing Robocop Rogue City and Like a Dragon Gaiden

Very nice. Hopefully the games on spotlight will have a discount or two thrown in.

I'll eventually need to give this game a shot. I'm supposed to be playing like a dragon Gaiden, but I've been pretty enthralled with robocop. I'll jump in soon.

@Kaloudz same, I'll just hold out.

I finished Ghost Trick last night and I hate to say it, the first 25% was fun, then it just got old. The story was good, but I just couldn't engage anymore after 7-8 hrs. Some sections were down right frustrating unfortunately. Please hold your pitchforks 🫠.

Now, I'm finally able to fully focus on the gem they call Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown on switch.

On xbox, another banger in Robocop Rogue City.

I'm already fully enthralled in both.

Stinks for sure. But I'll play on GP anyway.

Boom. Everything I would've wanted from an Indy game.

I'll go with a B. No disappointments but no real surprises. Indy blew me away though.

@Kaloudz I'm just waiting patiently for the fabled FF7 remake to hit xbox. That's my most anticipated SE game on xbox, or even switch. I'll take what I can get at this point as long as it's not a cloud version.

Love the mana series, so I'm all in.

Overall rock solid. Indiana Jones jumped up to my most anticipated xbox game this year. Avowed looks good as well. And if Mana isn't on GP, it'll be a day 1 buy.

Here's hoping we still get something of a surprise, be it shadow drop or other 😊

This is literally my most wanted game on xbox.

Honestly, more one off projects like hi fi. Fps games are great, as are 3rd person like GoW games. But different experiences are why I love nintendo so much. More indie gems like xbox is great at putting out there, especially on gamepass. More gears games. And finally, silksong in the first quarter. Everything else would be gravy for me.

@Banjo- awesome stuff. I can't wait to see if something gets announced Thursday. Either way, I'll be getting into gears of war 2 very soon.

@eire-shabba for sure. I have gears of war 2 DL'd and I intend to start it soon.

I can't decide if I should continue playing all the gears games ( only played 1) or wait for a potential new collection.

I am hammering through Psychonauts 2 in preparation of the direct next week for xbox.

On switch, only ghost trick at the moment. Hoping to finish by prince of persias release.

On the Pi, all sorts of little gems, but I'm taking more time with the original RE2.

Heck yeah. I'll be grabbing this. Not sure which system yet though, probably switch I'd imagine.

Already got it locked and loaded in my calendar.

I'll fire it up I'm sure. But there's so much going on that I might not be able to get through it.

@Grumblevolcano hoping for a shadow drop myself

Ooo very spicy indeed.

@Banjo- exactly. Anyone remember that "big zelda blowout direct" he predicted? I sure don't. I never listen to a word he says

Ah yes Jeff Grubb. Mr grain of salt himself.

Not sure I have one just yet. I'm thinking playing through all the gears games, and some of the halo games. I've played most of the halo games, but not through the campaigns. I've only played gears of war 1 thus far. I'd like to make it a point to get through most of the Xbox first party games in 2024.

On switch, Beat 1 run of Hades last night and I think I'm done. Going to start arkham asylum. On xbox, Psychonauts 2. I'd love to finish this week so I can start robocop.

Definitely the most tense game I've ever played. Literally terrified to do anything once I left a save room lol

Oh boy, I would've written something a little nicer had I known🫠

Happy new year fellow xboxers. Hope we all have a happy and prosperous 2024.

@eire-shabba I actually bought the bundle which Is rare for me. I almost never buy games I've already played on gamepass, or games that are currently on gamepass. But at the bundle price it was well worth it. I just haven't gotten around to the dlc yet.

@eire-shabba I played high on life late, so about April or so. Blown away by how much fun I had with it.

I sort of forgot about it and didn't rank it in my top 5 since it was a 2022 game. But overall, it was definitely a top 5 game for me this year.
