Honestly the first few hours are a bit of a chore but keep going.

This is great news. Death Stranding is in my all time top 10 so highly recommend it to anyone tempted on Xbox.

My mistake then. I guess that shows how uninterested in achievements I am…

100 hours for only 0.1%. I don’t particularly like achievements anyway but these ones are just stupid.

How’s Gears of War? It’s on my wishlist, planning to start Halo MC collection soon, but want to play Gears of Wars games after that.

It holds up very well and GoW2 is one of the games that gets a fps & resolution boost for backwards compatibility so actually looks really good to.

I’ve been watching and helping my daughter play through Kingdom Two Crowns (on peaceful mode) and once she feels ready we will try co-op on normal difficulty.

I’ve been playing through Gears of War 2 on the Xbox and it’s been great fun. Haven’t played it since original release and didn’t go any further so after I’m done it’s on to GoW3 and maybe more.

To be fair that’s how we all start!

I’m not particularly a fan of either re-makes or full remastered but I’m a big fan or, for example, when Xbox upgraded the resolution and FPS or backwards compatible games.

I would love to see Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes again and have a similar service on Switch for GameCube games.

Future Cop L.A.P.D

I can get behind this. FC hold up very well and is an amazing game that I think is mostly forgotten by now.

Wreckfest multiplayer is great. Getting in to 1st position makes me sweat just trying to survive the carnage! It normally ends badly but it’s so much fun.

It’s quite different to other games as it is an actual survival game where other “survival” games are just crafting games.

I remember early on I used to draw the maps on a notepad as I played because it’s easy to get lost and die…

There were many great racers around the Xbox 360 era and before. I feel like since then I can count on one hand the amount of good ones.

I think it just not as popular anymore but then also if they don’t make them we can’t play them!

Wreckfest, Circuit Superstars, Art of Rally, EA WRC are some excellent newer games to try.

Plex is good and the Plexamp app for music is excellent.

It’s a really fun game so I’d recommend a play through if you get the chance.

FYI the GameCube version is a little less of a chore with the random encounters and has some extra content.

It’s probably 95% digital now for me.

I tend to buy 1st party Nintendo games in physical form still but because of more PC gaming and having Xbox Gamepass for that last couple years I’ve moved mostly to digital.

I’m not going to buy it (there was a time where I would though) but I do like all this kind of stuff from Nintendo.

Really looking forward to this so I’m not watching or reading anything before release.

is your PFP yellowboze?

Yes it is.

I can see why you felt that but all the characters in both games are so wonderful that to me it was the opposite feeling.

Psychonauts didn’t come to mind but it’s actually a really good suggestion.

Mass Effect series.
