Decided to finally play Hi-Fi Rush hopefully get it completed over the weekend! ☺️

- I should pick it up again to finish it. Such a good game! But the live service hell of Destiny is keeping me occupied.

- Started it a few weeks ago, I'm really enjoying it so far!

Been on a huge Spider-Man kick, lately. Just 100%'d the first and am currently probably 1/4 of the way through Miles Morales. I really like the new mechanics overall, I just suck at stealth 😬

Edit: Oops, didn't realize this was the Xbox community, my mistake!

- I'm jealous. I still haven't picked up a PS5 and I love the Spiderman games!

  Oh, I'm playing them on PC and Steam Deck. I can't justify a PS5 purchase, at least not yet.
  
  We'll see how long my will holds out for the Spider-Man 2 PC port, though, haha.

I'm continuing on my first play through ni no kuni 2

Age of Empires 2

Not on Xbox, but you could!

2
- Love that game. I've been slowly playing through the campaign on my laptop when I'm away from home.

Wandering around Boston in Fallout 4, reinforcing some settlements, collecting some junk for scraps, and sleeping with Cait.

Even found another power armor suit that had somehow gone undiscovered years ago.

2
- Playing with any specific build?

  I'm playing on an Xbox One with just the six DLCs.
  
  I installed one mod a looong time ago, whose name and purpose I don't recall, and since then my gamer score has not increased despite having played several other games.
  
  So, I'm a bit leery of trying anything else. As time permits, I'll looking into getting things straightened out.
  
  2
- I'm so excited for Starfield because I miss the sense of exploration in Elder Scrolls and Fallout.

  Oh yea! I'm really ready for the immersion in a new universe!
  
  That'll be the catalyst for me buying an Xbox Series X.

Dark souls remaster and probably some vampire survivors.

GTA Online! I’m basic i know haha

Regarding DPG, I find it hard to find groups to play with in my time zone. I'm on the Discord server, but nobody seems to be online my evenings NZT. I've tried DRG solo, but think it's better multiplayer. Any tips to find people to play with?

2
- Have you tried the Xbox looking for group function?
  
  1
  
  Will give that another try, but previously I found some very weird groups there or just a lot of empty groups.

Frostpunk since Sunday. I was just able to handle the London people, now I'm getting sick of it.

2
- I've been interested in trying Frostpunk. Would you recommend?

  I absolutely recommend if economy management is your jam.
  
  2
- I love this game. Went through almost all the scenarios before burning out. Good stuff. Excellent console controls.

Stellaris

2
Some The Witcher 3 on my Steam Deck and I started Trek to Yomi with gamepass. The art direction is so good it really feels like a movie

2
The Wandering Village

2
- I tried to get into that, but I kept coming back to "why am I doing this?" Like... I can manage a village and it's pleasant enough... But why?

  I'm enjoying the different take on "city building" in this game. You have to take care of the dragon creature as well, which feels like a modern version of a tamagotchi. Adapting to the different climates/poisonous clouds the creature walks through is a nice challenge. I've been playing it every day since the gamepass release and I love it.

Spyro 2 riptos rage. Grabbed the Spyro and crash trilogies on sale to live some Nostalgia.

Yakuza 6 followed by Judgment and various Doom games (the original, 64, and Eternal to be exact).

1
- I absolutely loved Judgement and its sequel. 100%ed both of them. Fantastic games. My first entry into the Yakuza games.

Heard a bunch of praises for Assassin's Creed Origins, so I've just started that up recently. Very fun so far - looking forward to exploring around Egypt.

1
- Of the three newest ones it is the best.
  
  2
Dying Light 2

1
- How does it compare to the first one?

  Well it's been 8 or 9 years since I played the first so whatever difference that may make...
  
  When it first came out people complained about it a lot. But I'd heard a lot of fixes have gone in, and I'm just now picking it up.
  
  I like it. I feel like there's more random combat walking around which I hated at first but I'm getting the hang on dodging and blocking so I'm enjoying it now. There seems to be more random side quests.
  
  The story seems more fleshed out, presumably because it's also been 20 years in game since the first.
  
  Overall I feel like the game is more of the same once I got the hang of the combat part. I don't remember a lot of the intricacies of managing my inventory and crafting from the first game, so I don't know if it feels more complicated, or I've just forgotten how it was.
  
  What I don't like, the story being more fleshed out actually. It felt more like a "cowboy" type of thing before, where everyone including NPCs was doing their own thing, including you. I liked the less structured feel of the environment and people if that makes sense.
  
  I do also miss that the style of the game was new to me. Overall the first person parkour, running, combat, etc was something I’d never played.

Sea of Thieves. Always. For the chill vibes and whimsy. And then some Aliens: Dark Decent, for that high stress, anxiety adrenaline. I'm a fellow of extremes.

Gears of War 3

1
Battlefield 2042

1
- Is 2042 actually worth playing now?
  
  1
  
  I only started playing it because I have gamepass ultimate. I originally tried playing it via the EA 10 hour trial but didn't like it. I like playing it now but it's still not like the old battlefield games.

Max Payne 3. It is good, but it barely let's you breath.
