I just bought an xbox one when rdr2 came out, so not much on mine. We had an og xbox and a 360, but I'm guessing we had accounts set up for kids or something. My achievement game is poor.

Starting to think my series x won't make it here on the 10th. Microsoft charged me but no notification of shipping or anything. Not a big deal as I won't be home till that Friday anyways.

In awe of this lad playing Peter Jackon's King Kong in the year 2020.

Absolutely. The video game industry will be feeling the effects of the pandemic for a long while. I think the next few years are going to feel a little bare, like 2013-2015 where the current generation didn't quite feel like it was operating on all cylinders.

I don't mind. This just means a really good window to catch up and clean out that backlog. We were overdue for a quiet period. I got like 40+ games on my wishlist I'm just waiting for a decent sale on. A year off might get that under ten items.

I hope we see a resurgence of stuff like Katamari Damacy. Not the specific mechanics, but the idea of making a game with relatively simple graphics, a relatively narrow scope with a great gameplay hook, and a whole lot of relatively simple objects interacting on screen at once. I'd love to see how something like that could go nuts on these new consoles.

I don't think you'll really see both games with narrow scope that also take full advantage of the hardware.

My first 360 game was Hexic because I didn't buy any games for like 2 months. Except maybe Cloning Clyde, think that was one of the first Live Arcade titles? That was my first 'completed' game.

My 'installed size' total for all my games is 666GB. Hail Satan.

According to that site I bought my 360 for GTAIV and marathoned that for 2 months and then just bought a bunch of XBLA games for the rest of the lifespan of the console.

Teardown is awesome. A lot of devs could have made that engine and then not really built a game around it and instead made generic "reach 80% destruction to advance" objectives while living off the early access money. Instead it's super in-depth and has unique objectives that you have to plan out and a ton of hidden items all over the place. Was very impressed with what it was compared to the initial trailers.

Mass Effect 2 (JP). You can download it with EA Play and, I assume, Game Pass on the 10th.

Holy poo poo, $14,263 spent on games, and I skipped most of the xbone era when I went to PS4 and pc until the One X came out. Not sure I like this anymore.

I presume that's US dollars too, so probably closer to $20-25k for me in Canada/Australia.

That estimate is based on launch MSRP and doesn't count, like, sales or rentals or Game Pass or free weekends or demos that give you achievements or whatever.

Ok but other than that old pre-order deal from Amazon I didn't usually get games on sale/post launch. And I don't think renting games exists outside the US anymore.

The slowest game completion stat is the time between your first achievement and the last achievement for all of your completed games.

EDIT: And it gets weird if you were offline on the 360 and got the last achievement while online.

Stuff is wonky with true achievements where it believes I beat Peter Jackson's King Kong in 5 minutes but Cloning Clyde, a game I 100% the week it came out, took 5,000+ days to finish.

I have an achievement in Bards Tale IV only 75 players got, gently caress me.

It was the 2nd easiest way to get 1000 gamerscore when Microsoft ran a promotion to get free stuff if you earned 2,000 gamerscore in a set period. It was, actually, pretty fun and a predecessor to the whole "no hud, cinematic views" of gaming
