Diablo III (Series X) Continuing with the story, I am a out to meet Zoltan Kulle for the first time. Currently level 46 Crusader.

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (DS) After finding my old DS Lite, which I thought I lost years ago in a fire and picking up a new charger for it I decided to try it out with my favorite Castlevania games.

Avowed (Series X) I may of slowed down a bit on this one but I am still enjoying it. Still exploring the world and doing some quests.

Madden 25 (Series X) I am planning to get a few games of my career mode in with my running back who's on the Denver Broncos.

That's all I will have time for with the holiday and Wrestlemania this weekend. Hope everyone has a great holiday!

Haven't bought a single thing. Everything that's on sale I am either not interested in or own already.

I got Maden 25, EA College Football, Mafia Triliogy as Just for me Prices, which I already own.

@Kramlar Because they are games that I am pretty sure people are more interested in purchasing instead of the same old crap. Can you honestly tell me people are buying stuff like Skyrim now?

So no Suikode Colllection, No Dragon Quest IX, no Final Fantasy Pixal Remaster, no MLB The Show, No Indian Jones on sale but Skyrim a game that everyone and their mother own at least 5 copies of so no one is going to buy is on sale again. Whoever figures out these sales needs to be fired.

@FraserG Small typo. You said it bringing it to consoles for the first time but it's been on Switch for awhile now.

Total click bait article. Been checking for two days now and it's not free.

@AverageGamer @Millionski I suspect it's due to World of Warcraft. It would take to much to move WoW over to Xbox store. After all Battle.Net integration plays a big part in WoW

@Ricky-Spanish Yeah I really enjoyed College Football alot. My QB was with Boise State before going to the Denver Broncos. I also have a Running Back that's with Wisconsin and a Wide Receiver with Air Force. I really like the fact that you can continue on ward with Madden after your done with College.

I got a controller from them to be honest. I went to the site and played around making a controller but never bought one I created.

@Ricky-Spanish So you start with EA College Football 25 create a character you pick your position say Quarterback and you only play that character. So if they don't put you in the game for example you don't play that game. However there is side stuff to do like weekly drills that you do to build your skills up and of course keeping your GPA up.

Once you finish up your four years of College you or if you have good enough skill points you can declare yourself for the NFL Draft. Once you do that you import your saved character to Madden 25 and go pro.

Avowed (Series X) Still plugging away at this game so far I am 30 hours in and still enjoying it.

Diablo III (Series X) Since it came to Gamepass and I have been itching to play it again I decided to start a Crusader. I just hit level 20.

Madden 25 (Series X) After finishing up my college career I decided to go Pro and transfered my character to Madden where I was picked first round by the Broncos. So far we are 2 and 2 and looking to add to that win record this weekend.

Doom: The Dark Ages for me. I haven't been this excited for a Doom game in years.

@Kaloudz From what I remember you could save your character which didn't take as many blocks it just took all the blocks if you saved your progression like how far you were in the dungeon. So if you didn't save your progress you'd have to do the entire dungeon in one run and beat Diablo.

Of course if you play Diablo on a PS3 you don't have to worry about that since saves go straight to the hard drive. But yeah back in the PS One days it was annoying. A few other games took up whole memory cards, another one that comes to mind is Gran Turismo.

Loved the game and is definitely my GotY for 2024. I just had to drop it because Avowed has taken up the majority of my gaming time. Once I finish Avowed I plan on going back to it.

Lord of the Rings Conquest. For some reason I always enjoyed that game.

@Kaloudz The Playstation port of Diablo which was my introduction to the series wasn't bad just a bit odd especially the way to save. If you wanted to save your progress it took a whole memory card!!! Not quite sure why that was but needless to say I never got far in that game.

I do believe that people regard 2 as the best, especially with its expansions but I can't say myself as I never played 2 since it was a PC exclusive. Like you most of my time was spent with 3 and 4 and out of those two 3 is my favorite. 3 just has that pick up and play feel where I can jump on do a dungeon or two and jump off and I am satisfied. As I said 4 is not bad just has alot going for it for someone like me if that makes sense.

I have to say Avowed. They way they game has me hooked, I honestly haven't been hooked by a game like this since World of Warcraft. I would say that 90% of my game time is with Avowed right now. With 10% going to a few other games like Madden 25, WWE 2K24 and now Diablo 3.

But yeah without a doubt Avowed is my GotY.

I fell off of Diablo 4. It was fun don't get me wrong but so overwhelming and it just felt like a game that I would have to put in alot of time to fully enjoy. A far cry from Diablo 3's pick up and play feel.

@Kaloudz D1 was only released on Playstation 1 as console goes. At the time there was no Xbox so I am not sure if it's a PS exclusive, since it never came to the N64, they got Starcraft instead. It could come to Gamepass PC though.

I grabbed College Football when it was on sale a few weeks ago but I am thinking of grabbing Madden 25 here at that price especially since you can take your College player to the NFL after their College career is over.

@YeyoFairy It's a bit more then that for CoD. Before the put CoD games on Gamepass they have do a seriously security overhaul on them. They are so many hackers and bots on the older CoD games that they are pretty much unplayable in there current state. It would be alot of time and effort on Activision's part to fix all them, time that would be taken away from current games.

The thing was how Doug Bowser said it compared to Don Mattrick. The way Don said it, he made it sound like if you didn't want to get an Xbox One you were a second class citizen and spat on those that didn't want to agree with their new policies.

Doug Bowser on the other hand is acknowledging that some people don't want to upgrade right away and it's ok not that they are going to be left in the dust.

@FraserG Sounds like me, I have Lego games scattered across multiple consoles. PS2, Xbox 360, Wii U, PS4, Lol

I have been itching to play Diablo III again, so will definitely be downloading that.

Some different games instead the same old ***** they post for every sale.

Avowed (Series X) Starting to get into Emerald Stair. So.far I did a few of the main quests and a couple of the side quests. I think now I will tackle a few bounties.

WWE 2K24 (Series X) Continuing onward with GM Mode.

EA College Football 24 (Series X) Decided to start a Road to Glory play through. Currently a quarterback for Boise State.

Avowed for me as well. I am really enjoying this game. It seems like alot of you I am taking my time and exploring and doing all the side quests. I am still in the second zone and only have a 1 and half days total play time. I am maybe able to play about 4 to 8 hours a week but still able to enjoy it.

It's such a chill game to with all the environmental story telling and then they way you can customize your characters play style is so awesome. This game is definitely a contender for my 2025 GotY.

@kevinm360 I don't know the Wii U was clearly a sequel to the Wii yet people got confused. Clearly you underestimated how dumb people can be.

@BacklogBrad That was part of the reason the other part was the name calling it a Wii U made people think it was an accessory for the Wii. So you had parents buying Wii U games with kids that owned Wiis and stuff like that. You are going to have the same thing with people and Switch and Switch 2.

Just wait till the masses get confused between Switch and Switch 2 like they did with Wii and Wii U.

No we don't need a mediocre RPG on Xbox. We already got the best Final Fantasy game on it already, Final Fantasy VI.

Still going to say Avowed. I am 30 hours into it and still loving it.

@Brigurugi I don't even bother looking at the sales anymore. It's as you said it's the same stuff over and over. Stuff I either already have or have no interest in.

As for the Call of Duty series I can see why they haven't been added to Gamepass yet. It's probably due to the fact that multiplayer on the older CoD games is a complete mess with hackers and modders some of them quite nasty too where they can access private information. They would need to severally fix them so it doesn't open them up to problems like law suits and the like and quite frankly they don't have the time to go back and fix older CoDs.

Avowed (Series X) Got to Emerald Stair and started exploring this region. Recently started using a spellbook and pistol.

WWE 2K24 (Series X) Continuing with GM Mode, we just had our second PPV and I am still in the lead with WCW.

Heroes of Might and Magic III (PC) I got the itch to play this game again so I started a new campaign.

Breath of Fire (Switch) Been awhile since I played this one. It's one of my favorite RPGs on the SNES.

World of Warcraft easily. Other picks would be Lord of the Rings Online and Star Wars The Old Republic.

Looks like I will be picking up The Show 24 for my baseball fix since Sony doesn't want to play nice and give us 25 on Gamepass.

@Ilyn Well if that is what you truly felt then you wouldn't have said that add ons are necessary to play the game and your first comment is invalid and WoW would be just fine on console.

@themightyant LOL that's probably why I start so many games and never finish them. After awhile I just get so overwhelmed with the side quests and the main story and then I look and go crap I have been playing this game for six months and I have this huge backlog. But then I try to skip some stuff but then my OCD kicks in and I feel that if I skip that I will miss something really cool or special.

@themightyant I have a friend like that lol. I tried playing WoW with him and I just couldn't. His thing is though he runs through a game like that then gets to a point where he's not geared right or too low leveled and stops playing the game cause it sucks lol. He doesn't have that problem nowadays with games as much as he did years ago. That play style just leaves me thinking well, if you leveled up and get better gear.....

@jesse_dylan @Master_Cthulhu70 Yeah I just hit Emerald Stair myself and already I am thinking of what I am going to do for another playthrough lol. I too pretty much explore everywhere for me that fun. I want to see everything this world has to offer. I have also made it a point to craft as well which is why my weapons are currently as high as they can go right now. I just started finding the next craft materials I need to further up my weapons.

@Ilyn All add ons do is create a toxic community. It causes the elitists to bully, and harass players who don't use them which is one reason I don't raid in PUGs anymore. It splits the player base. As I said I have been raiding for years now with my guild and never used an add on, as long as you pay attention you are good. Add ons are just and excuse for elitists to act high and mighty and treat other people like *****. They forget the objective of the game is to have fun, meet with people and explore a world. Not be the quickest to down a raid or the fastest, it's not a competition, you want something like that go play go a sport or something not an MMO.

@FarmDog08 I am 28 hours in and just finished up with Dawnshore. I am guessing you are just rushing through the game.

Do we honestly have to have a hit every month on Gamepass? I mean who can even keep up with it to be honest. I am still playing Indy and Avowed and throughly enjoying them. There is no way anyone could have already gone through Avowed. If they did either A) They just rushed through the game B) Have to life C) Are fibbing.

@Ilyn Needing Mods/Add-ons for raiding or any part of the game is a misconception brought on by lazy players. I have been playing WoW since Lich King and never used mods or add-ons. You can play just fine without them. It just requires knowing your rotation and what to do and paying attention.

@FraserG I currently play horde on both retail and classic, I played Alliance from Lich King all the way to MoP years ago but when I came back to the game I decided to go Horde.

@jFug It's basically Fallout/ Skyrim with an Indiana Jones skin, which is not a bad thing. It's one of the best games that came out last year especially if your a fan of the movies. I will warn you it's not a FPS by any means. Yeah you can use guns but you gotta remember that's not Indy's style so going around shooting everything will make it hard for you.

Very excited that more people will enjoy this great game.

@FraserG That is interesting but I rather wait for a native version. It sounds like you can't raid unless you have a good connection.

Now the important question Fraser, Horde or Alliance 🤣
