I buy third party games that work great in handheld for the Switch. Big AAA games I purchase on either PS5 or Xbox depending on if I want a phsyical edition or not (I have a PS5 digital)
I already own this headset and it still works great. If you're still looking for a wireless headset, you can't really go wrong with this one in my opinion.
@CallMeDuraSouka I agree. I had trouble hearing him and the others speak about their developers as if they're more than just numbers and dollars to Microsoft.
These last 5 months have made me incredibly sceptical on Xbox.
This game looks and sounds so much better than I anticipated. It seems to be an actual solid JRPG and not your average anime adaption. Might get this later on, I'm playing Eiyuden Chronicle first.
@Markatron84 I think your comment is justified, I get the sentiment. This being a completely new IP, however, makes me not want to risk waiting for a definitive edition. I also just want to show support for a new IP, which I think looks absolutely stunning btw.
I am so happy to finally be able to say I will be playing Univorn Overlord this weekend! As a strategy RPG fan, this game has it all for me! Elsewhere I'll be diving into Chapter 5 of FF VII Rebirth. Another great game! 2024 is shaping up to be absolutely amazing. Happy gaming everyone!
@Kienda I'm happy to see people like you that can visualize how messed up this actually is and how we really do not have to sit and accept that this is "how business works". Putting profits over people is inexcusable, always. It's a filthy move, however you put it. The only people that benefit are the ones at the top. We as average gamers will not benefit from 1900 developers without a job. Heck, games might even take longer to release now if that's what you really care about.
These moves seriously make me want to just stick with Nintendo for the time being and unsubscribe to GamePass.
Hear hear, on the Chained Echoes praise. It's one of my favorite RPG's I've ever played. I think back fondly on the time I spent playing this last year.
This weekend I will once again dive further into Final Fantasy XVI on PS5 if I have the time. I'll be at Dokomi in Germany so probably won't have much time to turn on my PS5 at home in the Netherlands at all. Instead it's more likely I'll turn on my Switch and start Master Detective: Rain Code instead. Either way it will be a great weekend. Happy gaming!
@Kaloudz Me too. But since I have only played the original years ago and haven't touched CoD ever since, I obviously have no idea what I'm talking about. It just would make sense to me that Warzone 1 would automatically be upgraded into 2, taking all previously purchased cosmetics with them.
Does anyone know if there's a way to transfer what I have on PC to Xbox? I'd love to transfer my character and play on the world where I've built and explored so much already.
The first game of the Zero Escape: The Nonary Games, 9 hours, 9 persons, 9 doors, is probably one of the games I had the most fun playing on GamePass the last year. If you have the time to blast about 8 hours into a game the next two days, let it be this one before it disappears. You will not be disappointed.
@KonstantTrouble As s Hufflepuff you do get to go to Azkaban During the House exclusive sidequest. Though the area you venture into is small and your time there is brief, you do see dementors and the Patronum spell.
On topic: I would love DLC, although it has to be something quite fresh for me to be entertained by it. I think the open world is all to same-y, I would have preferred to have less of a huge open world and more smaller areas that are very different in style; Like Hogsmeade and the Forbidden Forest, but then also Azkaban, Ministry of Magic, Diagon Alley, etc.
My most anticipated game of the year looks amazing! Can't wait for April. Although, due to the delay, it's going to have to fight for my attention when Tears of the Kingdom comes out.
I absolutely loved the demo and I can't wait to dive deeper into the full release. Although, as a One Piece fan I am easily entertained with games starring the straw hat crew.
I would happily make use of a month's free trial for Apple TV+. It's one of the only streaming services I haven't dipped into yet, so would be nice to have a look through Game Pass.
I backed this on Kickstarter over a year ago, so it wouldn't matter to me. But it would still be nice to see more tactical rpgs get the Game Pass treatment. Hope it works out!
I'm very excited about playing this in co-op. It makes sense to me that progressing the story would be tied to only one player if you're on seperate chapters. But it's a little bit of a missed opportunity to not let you progress the story together with friends if you're all at the same point in the story. Anyway, it's sweet that all loot and other gains do count.
I did experience this blur a while back with the Force Unleashed and I haven't played it since because of it. I hope they are working on a fix. I'm playing on Series X as well
I have bought plenty of games during sales. They sit in my library, for when I find time to play them, only to delete them later to make space for something new. It's the sad endless cycle of deleting unplayed games, knowing I'll probably never redownload any of them again.
@Rural-Bandit I agree, I've never really gotten into Cyberpunk or the Witcher games. I play and enjoy most 3rd person rpgs, just not the Witcher for some reason.
@Tasuki it'd be a waste if you let those 3 movies ruin your experience of this possible gem. I'd like to think of it this way; the Lego Skywalker Saga will probably be the best way to experience the sequel trilogy ever. besides, the 6 other episodes 100% make it worth it to me. Can't wait to see what Lego has done with Obi-Wan's "I have the high ground.".
Weekend is almost over but I've been playing little bits of two recent Game Pass additions, The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk and The Nonary Games and I'm enjoying both so far. On Switch I've been playing Kirby's new 3D venture and boy that's a whole load of fun!

Re: New Rumour Weighs In On Difficulties Between Xbox And Square Enix

Good choice. Law and Zolo are one of my favorites too. My #1 character has always been Sanji, but Robin and Nami are definitely close too.
