@BleedingDreamer I’m blown away by how incredible this game is. I expected to enjoy it but it’s one of the most unique games I’ve ever played.

Can I vote for Hi-Fi Rush on all of them?

My top five from 1-5:

Alan Wake 2
Baldur’s Gate 3
Final Fantasy XVI
HI-Fi Rush
Hogwarts Legacy

Hi-Fi Rush is one of my top games this year, that alone warrants an A from me.

I bought the Adventure Time game for my son, nothing else tickled my fancy.

It has to be Bioshock for me. The blend of story, environment, and combat was some of the best I’d ever seen. To this day there are still few worlds that match Rapture. I still constantly think about that game. It’s easily in my all time top 5.

Good riddance! I hope the door hits him hard on his way out.Christmas came early!

@BIG3 I’d say it’s passable if you know nothing about Halo. There was some fun battles and whatnot, but the characters and story weren’t that good at all, even if I’m taking my Halo lover goggles off. You’re better off watching something like the Expanse if you want good sci-fi.

5 points: Alan Wake 2
4 points: Baldur’s Gate 3
3 points: Other: Final Fantasy XVI
2 points: Hi-Fi Rush
1 point: Hog Leg

Not surprising, considering how well it’s sold elsewhere it doesn’t makes sense to throw it on GP, they’re likely making a ton of money on Xbox.

@smoreon that’s what happened to me too

Just kill the rewards system entirely at this point, since that seems like what they’re going for.

My wife had the Super Bowl, I had E3. I’m sad to see it go, even if this is surprising news.

@BrilliantBill I couldn’t agree more

@Dan1283 5 was easily my least favorite Halo game. I hated that they completely undermined Cortana’s story in 4 (not that I loved 4 either). By the end of it, I was just happy it was done.

@Dan1283 I’m with you on this. It’s not my favorite Halo, but I do think it plays better than any other. I had a great time with it.

Harold Halibut looks so weird and unique, it’s definitely on my radar now.

Microsoft Points have been absurdly wonky lately and they got rid of a lot of things like being able to complete quests through streaming, so I’m not surprised they might be.

@Fiendish-Beaver I respect that. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve watch Bluey when no one else is home, even at times where my wife takes the kids somewhere for the weekend. I’m not ashamed of my love of Bluey!

I want this … for my kids, I mean. Yeah, that’s it, for my kids.

I beat Spider-Man 2 last night, so I’ll either be cleaning up side content or jumping into Immortals of Aveum.

This reminds me of a sci-fi Kena Bridge of Spirits, I’ll check it out.

There’s no contest here, 360 was the Golden Age of Xbox!

@Dan1283 Hi-Fi Rush was definitely my favorite Xbox game this year. Starfield is great but I had so much more fun with Hi-Fi.

Well deserved, BG3 is fantastic and easily my GotY.

How did FFXVI not win GotY for PlayStation?

Mario Wonder possibly, but definitely Spider-Man 2.

Advent Rising, I seem to be the only person that loved that game, but I truly adored it. I wish someone would pick
It up to make a sequel for it.

I don’t want to hear anything else about this game other than a release date.

Three separate times for me. I kind of wish they released a RRoD shirt in the new 360 line of shirts they released. Embrace the mistake and make a joke out of it, I’d buy it.

@abe_hikura or properly 😏

He’s going to have one hell of a payout but good riddance you pos. As Ironman30 said, let the door hit you in the ass on the way out … preferably quite hard.

Hi-Fi Rush is easily within my top games of this year so far. It’s only behind Baldur’s Gate 3 and Final Fantasy XVI. It was just a solid, fun, beautiful game, it didn’t over stay it’s welcome at all. It might not be my favorite game of the year but it’s the most straight up fun I’ve had with one.

Capcom is in a Golden Age right now, they have no reason to consider selling.

1. Baldur’s Gate
2. Final Fantasy XVI
3. Starfield
4. Hi-Fi Rush
5. Hogwarts Legacy

@Jonnybekeww I’m with everyone else on this one. I can go back and play any of those games right now, I’d much rather see what they’ll do with D3.

What did I just watch and why so I think I liked it?

I can’t wait to play this with my son, assuming there’s couch co-op. We’ve been loving playing Shredder’s Revenge together.

My plan is to continue paying Armored Core 6 and Baldur’s Gate 3 … I might dabble in Starfield but I don’t have the hype most people have for it. Now, with that said, I really hope it lives up to those expectations for everyone!

Please no, some games should be linear.

Alien Isolation is not only top tier when it comes to migrating a movie IP to video games, it’s top tier in the horror game genre. There’s very few horror games I’d put above it confidently.

I’m all for playing this because The Expanse is phenomenal but I refuse until they all drop.

I bought an original Xbox right around release just because I wanted KotoR, the system didn’t disappoint.

Add Brave Fencer Musashi and it’ll be an instant subscription from me

@InfamousOrange not all of the games are backwards comparable, unfortunately. You can find lists of bc games pretty easily so I’d recommend checking them.

That was a big win after the sharing games debacle

Clockwork Revolution was my favorite surprise, that game looks fantastic!

@Nightcrawler71 I started with the Necromancer and then tried out the Rogue, I haven’t gone back. I’m doing the Twisted Blade build for the Rogue and I just shred through enemies, it’s been such a blast.

Diablo IV and TotK for me

Jedi Survivor and Midnight Suns if I get a chance to play anything this weekend.

@Kaloudz those are all fantastic choices, I tip my hat to your taste.
