Hello there fellow gamers.
This weekend I´ll be playing Evil West, since it´s leaving Game Pass and I´m having a blast with it.
Will also play Split Fiction with a friend. We both played and finished It Takes Two a few weeks ago and it was very fun.
And might also dable in some Street Fighter 6 matches.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hello there fellow gamers.
Having finished my second playtrough of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black on Hard, I´ll be switching gears and continue to play Metaphor Refantazio. I´m at the end game, finishing side quests and maximizing bonds.
Might also dable between Street Fighter 6, Dungeons of Hinterberg and Ninja Gaiden Black.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hello there fellow gamers.
This weekend I´ll continue to play Ninja Gaiden 2 Black and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1. I´m in a NG phase right now and I´m loving every second of playing both games.
Also want to go back and finish Metaphor Refantazio and Star Wars Outlaws, before the big games of 2025 start coming.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

@Scrubchub Hello there friend.
Your first post explained the exact feelings this game gives you, so kudos for that.
The normal mode is fairly easy, but the other difficulties though.....
But when the gameplay loop clicks and you realize how much of a powerhouse Ryu Hayabusa really is..... Nothing is more satisfying then literally obliterating every enemy in your way.
Such an awesome series and I´m so happy is finally back.
Currently enoying NG Black 2 while waiting for Ninja Gaiden 4.
Cheers and have a good one

Hello there fellow gamers.
This was the BEST Xbox Developer_Direct they have done so far.
It was made for me 😜 Grade A Plus.
Ninja Gaiden 4, with NG 2 Black Izuna Droped had me floored. I´m so happy this awesome franchise is back after 10 years absent.
South of Midnight looks way more interesting in terms of gameplay mechanics in both combat and puzzles.
Expedition 33 is everything a turn based rpg fan like myself always wanted. Looks phenomenal.
And Doom The Dark Ages might just be the most amazing fps of all time for me.
Xbox is showing work and it´s very apreciated.
Their June gaming Showcase is going to be wild. Can´t wait.
Cheers and happy gaming folks

Hello there fellow gamers.
I´m a big fan of Doom 2016 like many others, but didn´t quite like Doom Eternal new gameplay style.
This one though, I´m all in.
Love the idea that you are like a tank that just buldozes trough everything.
And the new parry mechanic alongside the new melee combat looks so fun to pull off.
And then there´s the Mech and the Dragon Mount.
Yeah, I´m sold on this one, for sure.
And even though Mick Gordon won´t return for the OST after what happened with Doom Eternal, the new composers from Finishing Move seem to be doing a pretty good job. So there is that.
Cheers and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers.
I´ll be playing the awesome Ninja Gaiden 2 Black.
That is all...... Ok, maybe some Street Fighter 6 online as well.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

@ZAHMED Hi there friend and thanks for the kind words.
I just love videogames that much, can´t help it. Especialy with franchises that elevated my personal gaming enjoyment.
The NG franchise is just one of many, like Bioshock, Mass Effect, Gears of War, The last of Us, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, Forza Horizon, God of War and many others.
In all my 40 years of life on this earth, gaming has been one of my greatest passions and to just have fun, relax and talk about with personal and online friends.
And the fact that these type of anouncements still excites me, tells more than I could describe.
Cheers and all the best

@Scrubchub Hello there friend and great to see another fellow Ninja Gaiden fan.
I can´t believe it. A proper Ninja Gaiden 4...... After soooo long.
And Ninja Gaiden 2 Black???? Today??
I´m over the moon right now.
Downloading the game as we speak.
Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive 3 were the two games that made me get and OG Xbox back in the day.
Same thing with Xbox 360, with both Ninja Gaiden 2 and Dead or Alive 4.
For everybody that says Xbox has no games, I really don´t know what to tell people anymore. There are more games that people can play these days. Especialy on GamePass.
Cheers friend and have a good one

Hello there fellow gamers.
It´s very cliché, but Ninja Gaidens Fans rejoice, WE ARE SO BACK!!
All I could think about before the Direct was "If is Ninja Gaiden, I´m gonna lose it."
And it was. Not only we´re getting a brand new NG game with Ninja Gaiden 4 but also Ninja Gaiden 2 Black...... TODAY!!!!
I´m kinda overwhelmed right now.
And let´s not forget how good South of Midnight, Expedition 33 and Doom The Dark Ages look and feel. Amazing stuff from all these devolopers.
This was the BEST Xbox Developer_Direct. I´m Beyond Happy!
This year is going to be insane for gaming all around.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming to us all

Hello there fellow gamers.
My most played Xbox device will be my Series X Console.
It´s were I play the games that I purchase, both physical and digital and some GamePass games as well.
The second will be my PC.
I usually play GamePass games on my PC that don´t have a 60fps performance mode on Xbox. The other ones it´s either because I want to be able to play them in multiple devices or (mostly this) because I have no storage space on my Xbox 😜
I think this is the main issue I have with these "Next Gen" systems. They have very little storage and SSDs are not cheap.
Anyway, here´s to a fun year playing Xbox.
Cheers and happy gaming everyone

Hello there fellow gamers.
I am one of those PS users that also have an Xbox, so this is perfect for me. Now before anyone starts to flip, I really enjoy the Xbox controller for shooters, racers and some action adventure games. But for fighting games???
No, not really. At all. Thats why I got the 8BitDo Pro 2 Wired Controller, with Hall Effect joysticks. Just so I could play my fighting games properply...... And some other games on my PC.
It´s a pretty good controller, but this one looks even better.
Definitely considering this as a 2025 purchase for my Xbox.
Cheers and happy gaming

hello there fellow gamers.
The Xbox First party game I´m most excited about is Fable, followed by The Outer Worlds 2, Doom The Dark Ages and South of Midnight.
It does seems like it´s going to be a really good year for Xbox.
More so If Gears of War E-Day also launches in 2025.
We´ll see how it goes.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers.
An Xbox game that I want to shout out to is Dungeons of Hinterberg.
Been playing the game on both my Series X and PC every now and then, whenever I´m not playing Metaphor or SF6.
It has a very charming setting, unique visual aesthetics and the gameplay mechanics are pretty solid, alongside some interesting puzzles.
And it has a similar Persona Calendar and Bond system, although very casual friendly in a good way. It´s pretty good.
Cheers and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers.
Just want to wish a Happy New Year of 2025, full of great games and amazing experiences.
Here´s hopping this Hobby of ours (Passion for me personaly) never ends and keeps on improving with memorable moments of excitment and joy all around.
Cheers everyone and happy 2025 gaming to us all

Hello there fellow gamers.
I bought quite a lot of games for my Series X this year, but I would say that 60% of them were digital since there were some great deals this year.
I got 10 physical games and 12 digital games for Xbox alone.
Will probably get a few more digital games because of the Christmas deals on both Xbox and Playstation.
Wich means, the backlog keeps on growing....... But some of these deals are to good to miss out though, so yeah, there is that.
Cheers and happy gaming everyone

Hello there fellow gamers
I actualy finished more games on my Series X than I tought I would.

• Assassins Creed Origins (second time tough, the first time was on PS4);
• Assassins Creed Odissey (started on PC, but finished on Xbox);
• Lies of P (started on 2023, but finished on 2024). Great game in a list of other great games;
• Assassins Creed Valhalla (also started on 2023, but finished in 2024);
• Cocoon. Great puzzle game;
• Hellblade 2. Not as good as the first one in my opinion;
• Assassins Creed Mirage. A more traditional but fun stealth game;
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge. Awesome beat em up game. Had a lot of fun wiht this one;
• Metaphor Refantazio. Amazing RPG and the final game that I finished on my Xbox Series X.
  All and all, a pretty good year. Wish I had more time to play and finish my other Xbox games, namely:
• Cyberpunk 2077;
• Scarlet Nexus;
• Alone In The Dark;
• Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden;
• Sea of Stars;
• Unknown 9 Awakening;

  Oh well, I´ll play and finish them eventualy...... I hope 😜
  Cheers everyone and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers.
Just want to wish to the Pure Xbox staff and to everybody a Merry Christmas and Happy Gaming Holidays with your loved ones.
Cheers everyone and all the very best

Hello there fellow gamers.
This weekend will probably finish Hellblade 2 and continue my Metaphor Refantazio journey on my Series X.
On my PS5, I´m currently playing Black Myth Wukong and more Street Fighter 6...... And maybe will play more Clive in Tekken 8.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

@Cakefish Hello there friend;
"NAMELESS KING IS IN THE TRAILER, WHAT?!?!?!"
That was my reaction also. Still have his two phases movesets memorized from the many atempts 😜
I even saw the DS3 Fire Keeper as well.
Elden Ring with flying mounts, parkour, Sekiro deflect mechanic and Crazy Bosses? YES PLEASE and THANK you.
I guess I´ll add more 100 hours to my already 300h. No biggie.
Cheers and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers;
On this weekend I´ll continue playing the following games:

• Metaphor Refantazio, finaly have the last party member with 78 hours played. Don´t really want it to end as I´m loving the game;
• Cyberpunk 2077, who knew I would have so much fun just exploring Night City. Another game were I never use fast travel;
• Street Fighter 6, new game balance patch means more reasons to play the game. And there is Also Giant Atack Boss Sirn Bison on Battle Hub wich is fun to fight and somehow, not as difficult as Sirn Akuma was back then.
  Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

  Cheers everyone and happy gaming to us all

@GeeEssEff Hello there friend.
I´ve been doing this kind of thing since forever.
Two of the most intersting ones:

• Metal gear Solid 3 Snake Eater. For some reason I decided to stop playing the game while I was fighting the Sniper Boss The End..... And those who knows, will know how weird it was when I got back to it;
• Prince of Persia The Sands of Time. Still remember loading the game and seeing that I was at 90% and that made not want to continue, because I was having so much fun playing it.
  I didn´t want it to end, you know?
  Eventualy I finished both games and have finish many others, but there will always be one or two that I just stop and eventualy go back.
  You said it though, we must be a little weird 😜
  Cheers and have a good one

Hello there fellow gamers;
This weekend I´ll probably go back to the amazing Cyberpunk 2077 and finaly play The Phamtom Liberty dlc.
Will also go back to play the also amazing Metaphor Refantazio. One of the best RPGs out there.
I do tend to stop playing games when I get closer to the end. Weird, right?
And will probably play some Street Fighter 6 online.
There are so many games in my backlog, that I don´t even know what to do sometimes. Oh well, not a bad problem to have 😜
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hello there fellow gamers.
Hopefully both Everwild and Blade turn out to be really good games.
It´s been awhile since Rare has made a singleplayer game that does feel like a Rare game, so we´ll see.
As for Blade, in Arkane Lyon I trust fully, even though this will be their first third person action game. But they do have the talent, so let them cook.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming to us all

Hello there fellow gamers;
This weekend I´m all about Metaphor ReFantazio on my Series X and Street Fighter 6 on my PS5. Been having a lot of fun online matches with some pretty good players in SF6.
Also, it has been awhile since I´ve been so enamored with a turn based rpg like Metaphor and I do think this will be my game for the next months.
Although, I do want to finish at least one playtrough of both Sillent Hill 2 and Alan Wake 2 as well.
So many good games to play. Gamers are eating good.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hello there fellow gamers;
This weekend I´ll be playing Astro Bot, wich is the best game ever, more Street Fighter 6 online matches, learned some new Ryu combos, gotta do them in a match and continue Kay Vess Star Wars Outlaws journey all on my PS5.
I´m putting my Series X on rest until I get my physical copies of Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition, Metaphor: Refantazio and Assassins Creed Sahdows...... Or until I decide to play Control or Lies of P again 😜
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
Cheers

@BowsersBuddy Hello there friend;
It is quite fun and the feeling of being inside the Star Wars Universe is definitely there.
Also, I agree with you about the side missions. They do feel more part of kay´s progression and evolution as a Space Scondrel.
I might also becoming slighty addicted to Kessel Sabacc 😜
Cheers and have a good one

Hello there fellow gamers;
It seems I´m one of the few that´s really enjoying the game.
It is a Star Wars game that feels like Star Wars, it has the vibe, the ambiance, the style and many references to the source material, has it should any adaptation have.
I do think the highlights for me are the actual Space exploration and Space combat as well as the different factions that may get in favour with some and not so good with others.
Does it have it´s flaws? Oh yes, it does have indeed.
Gunplay could be a litle better as well as the games stealth.
But overall, it´s a pretty good game and more importantly, I´m having a lot of fun with it. Isn´t that what matters the most?
Cheers everyone and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers;
This weekend I´ll be playing Star Wars Outlaws and Street Fighter 6 on my PS5 and replaying Control and Lies of P on my Series X.
I´m really enjoying SW Outlaws, there is a lot to like and enjoy, plus it is a Star Wars game that looks and feels like Star Wars.
Don´t understand the negativity surronding this game and others for that matter.
People should just enjoy playing what they like. That´s what I do.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hello there fellow gamers,
Another very interesting brand new IP from a new game studio is great to see. And it looks amazing to boot.
I totally get what @FarmDog08 is saying. Lost Odissey did had a mechanic were, when it was your character´s turn to attack, if you let go of the right trigger at the right time, you would do more damage. Made every battle way more engaging.
But this game takes it to a completely new other level.
Can´t wait for this one next year.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers.
Having finishing AC Mirage, a really good stealth game and finally finished the amazing Lies of P, I´m now currently thinking of playing Alone in the Dark and maybe, probably play Control for a third time on my Series X. I just love that game, it´s so fun.
Although I do want to replay Lies of P for all the achievements.... And because the game is that good.
Will also dable in Rise of the Ronin and some Street Fighter 6 matches on my PS5.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hello there fellow gamers.
That is a though question. Only three Xbox games Huh?
Okay. i think I got it:

• Mass effect Legendary Edition. I have played this trilogy 7 times already, so...... what´s another 7 more;
• Street Fighter 6 or Tekken 8. Both are amazing fighting games and have been my main fightin game focus has of late. Plus they both have really good singleplayer content;
• Elden Ring with Shadow of the Erdtree DLC included.
  Might just be my ultimate open world action rpg to have.
  Although, has I´m currently playing AC Odissey, that one is another really good contender, alongside AC Valhalla.
  Yeah, very difficult to only chose three. Should have been six at the very least 😜
  Cheers everyone and happy gaming

@Jenkinss Hi there friend.
I absolutely agree. That whole fight with Bayle the Dread and Igon hyping you up was PEAK Fromsoftware Boss fight for me personaly.
It was so Hype and Spectacular in both visuals, music and character. Utter briliant.
Cheers

Hello there fellow gamers.
Having finished the amazing Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC on my PS5, now I´m back at playing Assassins Creed Odissey on my Series X.
I´m pretty late to the party with AC Odissey and I don´t see why the game got so much flak. It is pretty great in my opinion.
I´ve been pleasantly surprised by the narrative and beautiful Greek landscapes. It is a BIG game, that´s for sure.
Cheers and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hello there fellow gamers.
There were some very nice games in the Xbox Showcase, but my number one has to be Expedition 33.
It looked absolutly amazing, in both presentation and combat. Good to see more turned based rpgs being made.
The other games I´m interested are:

• Assassins Creed Shadows;
• DOOM: The Dark Ages;
• Dragon Age: The Veilguard;
• Fable;
• Gears of War E-Day;
• Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater;
• Perfect Dark;
• South of Midnight;
• Stalker 2;
• Wuchang: Fallen Feathers.
  So many games, so little time to enjoy them.
  Probably one of the best problems to have as a gamer.
  Cheers everyone and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers.
This weekend is all about Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree.
It´s all I can think about right now, playing this gem of a game.
And Nothing Else Matters....... Until I´m done with it.
Then, I´ll probably go back to AC Odissey and Rise of the Ronin.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

@Lup Hello and thanks friend. I´m enjoying it very much.
Good to know that more people like AC Odissey.
It is a very different AC game, but it is, so far a pretty good open world stealth action rpg.
And Bramble and the Mountain King is quite a interesting game,
that´s for sure.
Cheers and have a good one

Hello there fellow gamers.
Since I have finished AC Origins (again) and both dlc (for the first time), and I am still in the mood for these type of games, I just started AC Odissey last night, so I´ll be playing that one on my Series X.
As for my PS5, I´ll be playing more online SF6 matches and maybe I will finally start Rise of the Ronin.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

@Scummbuddy Hello there friend.
Honestly? I saw the Pure Xov Bingo Card that mentioned Blue Dragon Remake, so that is why I put it there alongside Lost Odissey, wich are two of my favourite JRPGs of all time and I just want more people to give it a go...... And maybe get Sakaguchi-san and Uematsu-san to join together again and make sequels of both games. That is all.
Cheers

Hello there fellow gamers.

• Fable gameplay. Yes, please. Let´s see what Playground is cooking with this very dormant franchise;
• Blue Dragon Remake and Lost Odissey Remake, because why not? Yes and Yes, please and thank you;
• Forza Horizon Japan. Could be very cool;
• Doom Dark Ages. Doom Guy/Slayer shooting demons in medieval times? Yes, please;
• Clockwork Revolution. Yes, with a release date of course;
• Hollow Knight Silk Song. We can only hope, but Yes;
• Marcus Fenix Collection. Absolutely Yes. It is probably the announcemnt that I´m most looking for;
• South of Midnight gameplay. Very curious with this one;
• Gears of War 6. I mean, it´s been way to long. Coalition has to show it off..... Right? Hopefully so;
• Something Brand New that excites people.
  Those are my wishes and predictions. We´ll see waht we get.
  Cheers everyone and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers.
Don´t miss out Bramble: The Mountain King.
It is a very interesting and grim adventure game set in a world inspired by dark, Nordic fables.
Worth checking in my opinion.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers.
Seems I´m not the only one with very fond memories of the original Test Drive Unlimited on Xbox 360.
That game paved the way to games like Forza Horizon and The Crew franchises.
I loved exploring the Island of Oahu with both cars and bikes.
The game was just fun and chill.
Hopefully TDU Solar Cown has the same spark and the same style the original had. We´ll see.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers.
For this weekend I´ll continue my AC Origins second playtrough, this time on my Series X with both DLCs to play around and online matches in Street Fighter 6 on my PS5, sice Akuma just droped and, surprise, he is very fun to play and very fun to fight against.
I love what Capcom did with Sirn Akuma Giant Attack Boss fight in the Battle Hub. The game needs more of this stuff.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hello there fellow gamers.
For the last two months I´ve been in a Open World Action RPG frenzy with games like FF7 Rebirth, Horizon 2 Forbidden West on my PS5 and AC Valhalla on my Series X.
And now that I´ve finished AC Valhalla and finally got my 1Tb Expansion Card, been installing more games and one of them is AC Origins, one of my favourite AC and favourite Open World Action RPGs, sooooo......... I decided to play the game again, but now on my Xbox and sweet 60 FPS.
I don´t know how long I´ll keep playing these type of games, since they take so much time, but as long as I´m having fun, I´ll continue indulging myself.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hello there fellow gamers.
This seems about right. We haven´t heard much from id software in a long while and the rumours for a prequel game could also be true.
Kinda excited for the nex Xbox gaming showcase.
Xbox really needs a WIN and needs to excite fans with great GAMES. A lot of people are in bad funk as of now and they really have to bring some positivity and excitment.
Wich may prove difficult, but not impossible.
Fingers crossed for it to be an amazing one.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers.
As of now I´m just currently enjoying my time with Assassins Creed Valhalla on my Series X and Lies of P on my PC.
Have already finished the main game of AC and now doing the dlc expasions.
And Lies of P is becoming better and better the more I play it.
So yeah, those are the two games I´ll be enjoying.
After those, I might jump to some of my new PS5 game purchases, wich are quite a few.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hello there fellow gamers.
This are some really bad news. For gamers, developers and Xbox in general.
I can understand Arkane Austin to a certain degree, because one bad game, does not make the whole studio bad. They made Prey. And it´s awesome.
And then there´s Tango..... I mean REALLY? Their one and only japanese developer? Who has some pretty good games under their belt, some that could/should probably get sequels?
What a tremendous disapointing decision by the Xbox game division administration.
Hopefully, the developers that will unfortunately be laid off by this, will find either other studios to work with or start a brand new studio and continue to do their passion.
All the very best for them. Cheers

Hello there fellow gamers,
Man, this games were my childhood on both PSOne and Sega Dreamcast back in the day.....
And just like @el_pieablo and @Chinesus mentioned, the voice acting is still very cringe....
Wich is kinda part of the game´s charm, I guess.
But these are two rpg gems from the past.
Great to see them on Xbox and Playstation.
Cheers and happy gaming to us all

Hi there fellow gamers.
This thing also happened to me.
Yesterday I turn my Series X on to check some games and play the Original Dead Space and had no games on my wishlist.
Went to do it again and had the same result.
Hopefully they can fix this anoying glitch.
Cheers and happy gaming to us all
