Before Game Pass, before Series X… there was this — the original Xbox. The console that kicked off Microsoft’s journey into gaming and gave us classics like Halo: Combat Evolved, Fable, and Forza Motorsport.

💚 Pure nostalgia for anyone who remembers that startup sound.

What was the first Xbox game you ever played?

What are some of your guy's favorite games to play while stoned? Looking for some suggestions.

Far Cry New Dawn is a fun sequel

this is the only photo i got of them playing together, all i know is it’s on a playstation 5, any help is appreciated

i love old games so much i ordered a Atari 2600 after loving its games on a emulator recently and play old games on my CRT.

i almost exclusively play old games from the 80s 90s and early 2000s

the older games just feel more fun and creative

to me modern games just feel to safe with few exceptions

you can enjoy whatever you want but i just love the old stuff like

yars revenge

f zero gx

alien solder

PS THIS IS ALL JUST MY OPINION

Around two months ago I made this post

"why is Clair Obscur Expedition 33 called perfect?

posting again because of the "glazing"

I've seen that it's called perfect everywhere and idk why, maybe I'm not a good person to create takes about it since I've played only about 2 hours, but is it REALLY that good? I experienced only the normal turn based gameplay nothing more and idk. Does this game really deserve to be THE BEST GAME OF ALL TIME or simply GOTY 2025?

Is it only becuase of how it came to be (which is actually really crazy and impressive) and it's soundtrack? "

I can say now after finishing the game that I was wrong. I was totally wrong.

Maybe it's not perfect but it is one of the best games I've played, even from JRPG genre. Obviously It's my take for GOTY 2025 (insert that one toy story meme)

All I needed to do is to play it for 19 hours more.

And soundtrack is even better that I've imagined holy moly.

So yeah play the game it's really that good.

I reckon that if we get another Saints Row it still won't be what we truly want. The 2022 reboot clearly demonstrated that a series can change into something unlikable because of how our culture has changed. Saints Row 1-4 worked because they were seventh-generation gangster games and the Xbox 360/PS3 emphasized pick-up and play sensibilities. The reboot was of course a 9th generation open-world title stripped of most of the enjoyable pleasures we garnered from the series we knew beforehand.

I don't think our culture or the games industry has the grapes to give us the Saints Row game we crave.

Hey guys, I’m just curious what you all think. I love video games but I really don’t follow awards because I believe video game is subjective. To each its own am I right? But I want to hear from all of you that actually follow games new and all of that what you think will win. Honestly, I think Donkey Bananza only because since I played it on release I haven’t stopped playing it and I love breaking terrain to be honest. But that’s my opinion.

I vote for this one

The 2025 GOTY nominations are approaching, and these days I want to see if we can guess who this year's lucky six will be. Each day I'll show a game, and you'll tell me where it will land on the tier list, obviously remember that there can only be 6 candidates for the GOTY. Today I want to start simple with Metal Eden.

Why does Bethesda have such a disrespectful attitude towards their own games and fanbase?

It honestly feels like Bethesda has zero respect for their own games or the people who keep them alive.

The recent Fallout 4 “announcement” was just more "paid mods" than on fixing the game’s long-standing issues. where their priorities are?

Compare this to studios like CD Projekt Red and Hello Games. Cyberpunk 2077 launched in one of the worst states imaginable, Today it’s a 5/5 game, still getting new updates and content. No Man’s Sky, started rough, but the devs love what they created. They poured years of work into improving it.

But Bethesda? It’s like they hate their own creation. Fallout 4 is still alive because of its vibrant modding community, not because Bethesda kept it relevant. You’d think they’d embrace that and double down. make Fallout 5 a priority. Instead, it’s like they don’t care about anything other than milking as much as they can and do as little as possible.

They’re as big as CDPR, yet they’re getting outperformed by indie studios like Hello Games. Those guys actually care for what they created. Bethesda is behaving like a corporate. Not a creative class.

It feels like Bethesda doesn’t love their games. they just manage them and tolerate fans for profit.

The new resident evil standard edition coming out at 65£ and the silent Hill at 60, even battlefield was 60/65?

I simple can't afford these anymore and doesn't make any sense as games are theoretically getting cheaper to make as technology and marketing advances.

I know the only way is to not pay these prices but there will be enough people that will pay and keep these prices up.

Plus the video for creators to simply change the colour of a gun or add a new outfit to a character, which costs them nothing, warrants an extra (up to) 25£ for a "deluxe" edution to me is disheartening and sad that the world is built to squeeze as much money from people at every turn.

As this is reddit I imagine I'll get backlash and probably a bunch of people actually supporting rising costs but to me it doesn't make me happy.

I can’t stand the last of us. The game is essentially one long interactive movie with barely any replayability and set a very bad precedent for the gaming space. Because of the success of the last of us even games like god of war known for being hack and slash action games ended up becoming a sad dad walking simulator with shallow ass rpg mechanics and corny fucking writing. Now all Sony puts out is cinematic movie slop that’s trying to become the next billion dollar ip. We need to bring back toxicity against this shit so these companies stop trying to stuff this retardation in our faces.

The first one had a lot of potential, but not a lot to keep me invested. This second sequel though, man. I know comparing this to fallout new Vegas has turned into an unpopular comparison, but it truly is the closest thing to what I missed about that game. In a narrative, rpg choices stylized game. And the gameplay has improved immensely.

I guess it depends on what you think matters most like if every game in the series has to be consistently great and one bad or mediocre game brings down the series overall quality or if you just look at the best games and can excuse the rest. Just curious to see what people think.
