This will be the first CoD I will not be playing. The direction CoD has gone is just ridiculous. If I want Fortnite I will play Fortnite not the wannabe that CoD has become.
@TheGameThrifter Xbox isnt just a console its an ecosystem and Rog Ally is part of that eco systems like it or not. Thats like saying Playstation is just a console or Nintendo is a console.
I went back to WoW for War Within and to be honest its not very new player friendly anymore. Its all centered around the raids now and to be honest the best way to experience those is with people you know. Most guilds now are total meta gamer raiders. Lore isnt there like it is in Classic and its just about how fast you can get raid ready.
Now if they ported WoW Classic which may be easier at this point then I would be interested in that. As retail goes they can keep it on PC.
I pretty much own all the Ubisoft games I want. Ubisoft games drop prices quickly and you can usually get them dirt cheap in a sale, like the Black Friday Sale that will be here in a few weeks.
Besides after how Ubisoft handles XDefiant I really dont feel like supporting them.
My roommate and I was just talking about Black and White the other day. I wish him luck in retirement but I cant help but be cautious about his next game. He made to many promises in the past and they always underdelivered.
Makes sense as Microsoft is a software company first and foremost and has been more PC focused then any other video game company. If the next Xbox is the price of a new gaming PC I will pass on it and just stick with my Series X and PC.
Sony's first party library isnt for me as I am not that big into cinematic experiences. Also for their first party games that I want to play like Spider-man series or Horizon Zero I can get them on PC.
Looks like the only true video game console in the next few years will be Nintendo.
Um because Microsoft is and always has been a software company first and foremost. They are not a console manufacturer like Nintendo or an electronic company like Sony.
So Ubisoft killed XDefiant but they want to bring back a paraphernalia that nobody liked or wanted in the first place. And they wondered why their company is tanking.
Hardly ever. Main reason is I have so many games in my backlog that I want to get to and with my limited gaming time I just dont have the time to replay games.
I played it years ago and enjoyed it. For me it was good nothing really stood out for me and honestly one play through was good enough for me.
I really think the only reason that Xbox players make such a big deal of it is because this will be the only exclusive one in the series since Sony bought out Insominac and may very well be the only game in the series if Sony chooses not to revisit the series.
Classic games Heroes 3 is considered the best of the series especially if you have the Horn of Abyss expansion. Glad to see more people are able to play these great games.
Borderlands 3 (Series X) Finished the main story the other day so I will be starting the DLC this weekend. First up is the Handsome Jackpot DLC. Currently I am rocking a level 56 Siren.
Castlevanis: Symphony of the Night (Series X) Time for my yearly replay of this classic game. And no better time then the month of October.
Silent Hill F (Series X) Been looking forward to this game since I have always enjoyed the SH series. This ks another game I am looking forward to finishing this Halloween season.
Right now as it stands Avowed is my GotY. I put so many hours into that game its crazy. I will be starting Borderlands 4 here in a few days so it might take the top spot.
Well after EA sold themselves out to a country that I dont agree their with their views I cancelled my preorder. Shame to cause I was looking forward to this game.
Borderlands 3 (Series X) I am hoping to finally finish this one off this weekend. I already finish of Troy and now I am going after Tyreen. First though I want to hit a few side missions before hitting what I think is the final planet.
For me its not worth the price hike. Most of the Ubisoft games that I would play I own already. Besides after the way Ubisoft handled XDefiant, I really dont care much about them.
Will be dropping.down from Ultimate to Premium as, most of those Ubisoft games I own already and paying the extra $10 a month won't be worth it. Also this is the big one I wont be supporting EA due to them hopping in bed with a government that I dont support their views.
I will be actual money, will be dropping from Ultimate and to Premium. Adding Ubisoft and Fortnite is not worth the $10 price hike for me to Ultimate and and I am done with EA since they want to get into bed with a foreign country that I dont agree with. So yeah a better option for me.
Borderlands 3 (Xbox Series X) Still chipping away at this one. I finished up Carinavore and rescued Tannis. Loved the whole Mad Max feeling of Carinavore and loved the nod to Penn and Teller. Now I am getting ready to got after the Calypso Twins Hideout.
Won't be touching this this year. I will be playing a proper military themed FPS this year BF6. Not a Fortnite clone with butt sliding and unicorn fart guns being used by TMNTs or Bevis and Buttheads.
@Fiendish-Beaver Delvelopers are more then likely aware of these issues but need to meet the release date because the suits upstairs dont understand how complex game making is nowadays. They just want their return investment that they put into said game. Hence the birth of we will patch it after launch mentality.
I was looking forward to this game and was part of the reason why I bought an Xbox One last Gen. I hope one day it does come out but I am not holding my breath.
Borderlands 3 (Series X) Trying to finish this game up so I can start Borderlands 4. I am currently working my way through Eden-6 with my level 33 Siren.
Suikoden 2 (Series X) Looking to get some time in this one. I will admit I slowed down on it a bit since my main focus has been Borderlands 3, but I am looking to change that this weekend.
@Kezelpaso That too bad to hear, but understandable. Hopefully maybe you @FraserG can get some help in the future so you get the time for big games like this.
Great to see such positives reviews. I should be getting my copy either today or tomorrow from Amazon. I cant wait for it as it looks like this migjt be my GotY for 2025. Going to be playing Vex as I always play the siren, just not sure which tree I will be doing.

Borderlands 3 (Series X) Continuing with the Handsome Jackpot DLC, I feel like I am at the end of this one. I am really enjoying it alot.
Heroes of Might and Magic The Olden Era (PC) Really enjoying this demo alot. Definitely is a good addition to the HoMM series.
Fallout London (PC) In a bit of a Fallout mood due to Fallout Day being a few days ago so I will be playing some Fallout London.
Re: Xbox & Bethesda Announce Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition For Next Month
So they are basically pulling a Skyrim with Fallout now. Couldn't give us a remaster of New Vegas or even make Fallout London official? SMH.
