I am planning to go for Xbox (actually, I am waiting for Pro version, the activision case brought up that there was plan for PS5 pro soon, so Xbox Series X Pro shouldn’t be far behind). While Starfield is a major reason, there is also Avowed coming up, and I have big hopes for that. Not to mention Fable.

Also, I’ve never had Xbox so want to play older franchises too. So, Xbox makes sense to me. Your requirements might be different.

Avowed is Obsidian’s next game. It’s a bit Skyrim like from the trailers, but not as big.

Also, The Outer World 2 is also going to be Xbox exclusive.

But if you don’t care about any of these, then maybe Xbox will be an overkill. Maybe get it and then sell it aftewards, or if you don’t like to sell stuff, maybe ge Series S.

Well, they don’t work much, just just sit around building all day. Of course they can’t afford pants.

Nice list of games. How are you liking System Shock remake? I have played Bioshock, so wanted to try System Shock too, but never got around to it.

What class are you using in BG 3?

Wow, nice!

I have only played 7, 9, 12, 13 and 15. I reached around level 20-25 in FF 14, but that isn’t even halfway into base game, so not counting that. I dropped it because of the huge time sink it is.

As for older ones, while I don’t mind retro games, they feel a bit too retro. How would you say those older games are, if you don’t have any nostalgia for it?

Thankfully I have very short memory, and I played BOTW on launch, so didn’t had any issue with that. Maybe you should take a break, and come back to it later?

Well, whatever new Paper Mario we get, it will be on Switch 2. Let’s see what they do that with it.

Mirror’s Edged is that parkour game, right? Where you are running around on rooftops?

Ah, that sounds fun. Will check out System Shock.

Oooh, a thief! Nice! You must have become pretty rich!

4x bump sounds nice. And thanks for the info. I’ll add them to my wishlist.

slimerancher, rok temu

Thanks for the feedback. Will check them out.

I have always wanted to play Mirror’s Edge, but for some reason never got around to it. Will see if it I can find it somewhere cheap.

I have come to realise I like 3D Mario games much more than 2D ones. If they want to make different style of Mario games, I would choose 3D game and then instead of 2D Mario I would go with 3D world style games. Though, there are chances Wonder will change my mind.

I have been following Atelier games for quite a while now, but haven’t played any yet. Though Atelier Ryza is on very top of my wishlist.

I was also interested in playing the Marie Remake, but I didn’t know it has time limits. How forgiving are these limits? And what do you suggest I play first Marie Remake or Ryza?

When Big Man was first shown, it felt like he was the fan favourite, but since then it seems like Shiver is people’s favourite. What do you think?

Thanks for your feedback! May start it once I am done with DQ XI.

Wow, 100th run, and achievement completion, good luck!

With such a huge backlog I don’t often return to older games, but I can understand going back and clearing everything. Have fun!

Yeah, reminds me a bit of Fez. If we need to decipher the language, it would most probably be just substitution cipher on English, otherwise the game might become too complex, unless we just have to decipher a limited set of words.

Ah, cool. Sounds fun! Thanks for the info!

In Space?

I have been hearing great things about it. And the fact that they were able to launch day 1 on both PS+ and Gamepass was probably a big win for them.

Hope they earned a good amount from those deals.

Nice. So not a perfect game. There are bugs and some parts may not be as great, but overall a very good Bethesda experience.

Looking forward to playing it!

Congratulations XBox Players!

Yeah, I read and watched some reviews, and I am very happy.

I think the gist of it is, that it’s a new Bethesda IP, it’s not Elder Scrolls, and it’s not Fall out. It doesn’t play exactly like those games. Looking forward to playing it whenever I get my Xbox 😀

“We’re literally stuck in a system where funding decides what gets made, everything that’s successful tightens the noose, and everything that’s unsuccessful is used as proof that we shouldn’t make more like it,” Ismail noted.

“So if you think things are bad now, wait until you see what’s coming, because as things get forced under larger & larger money-umbrellas for not being able to compete with Genshin/DFO/League /Roblox/etc., they’ll have to care more about promising money with whatever they do make.”

Basically, he is saying nothing can beat free-to-play games like Genshin and Roblox, which are earning tons through micro transactions. As for the quote in title, the second part says if you fail it will also lead to fewer games funded in genre.

He also says:

So I don’t know what the answer is & I’ve been looking for it as if my career depends on it because it kinda does. What I do know is that to get better, it’ll either take a full collapse of the industry, or “shorter games with worse graphics made by people paid more to work less”

In other words, as a gamer (specially if you don’t play those free-to-play games), there is nothing you can do.

I like you. 😀

If there isn’t one, I think that’s a good idea for a website. If anyone is willing to take up the mantle. 😀
