Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!
The choice between Series X and PS5 was pretty clear for me; does it play Fallout New Vegas?

Hells to the yes it does.
It still crashes though. Last night I spent like an hour doing the quests in the ultra luxe and as I was leaving through a door it went all buzzy and hung, forcing me to have to close it. But transitioning between areas / fast travel takes like 1 second.

Too niche and divisive to win but It would've been up there any other year, if only to get Fromsoft fans invested. I foresee that tweet resurfacing in a few years to exemplify how good we ate in 2023, it's an insane list. The only game I might remove is Spider-Man 2, but that's down to taste, it's extremely well executed. Next year we'll be back to the usual one or two obvious contenders plus also-rans.

Reimagined the whole game to a new engine, changed gameplay, rewrote the story to fit in the current lore (retcons) and overall made the experience more modern.

It's a brand new game experience, even if it uses the same name, characters and certain setpieces from the original.

Its also, for me, worse in a lot of respects unlike the RE2 remake which was a massive improvement.

I'd never want to play the original RE4 again after the remake tbh. Felt like a huge improvement across the board to me. Probably one of the best remakes I've played.

Technically it does, thanks to Microsoft's massive investment into cloud gaming, as the 100%-bug-free PS3 version is streamable if you have a PS+ Premium membership. No DLC support, though.

For the record, they're being removed from EA Play because their servers will be shutting down on December 8th.

There's a fan-server project for BC2 on PC, but I don't know how far along it is.

Starfield is an odd game because they clearly took out all the fun and challenging parts of it over development and turned it into a loading fast travel simulator instead.

Yet another reason physical media is so important. I really enjoyed the campaign in BC2 along with the multiplayer. Too bad Preston and Co. never got a third chapter.

Yeah this is the answer. Stafield is mid, its ok. But internet discourse has shifted to something either being GOTY or trash now. No more room for ok games.

At the beginning of the year I would have said TOTK was likely going to be my game of the year to a degree that nothing else stood a chance. In November it falls nearly dead last out of all of these games. Haven't played Mario Wonder yet. I would probably tie TOTK with AW2.

Also BG3 is just so beyond anything else this year the competition doesn't even feel fair.

For whatever it's worth I played FO4 for 80 hours and had a blast while I played Starfield for 4 hours and was bored out of my loving mind the entire time.

Fallout 4 is way better than it gets credit for. It's like this cliche thing to turn into a punching bag for some reason, but it's easily the best map and gameplay they have done. The main story is rear end, but the writing is never that good in their games and plenty of the sidequests are solid.

It’s pretty self explanatory? Steal 11 cars without dying. Also it’s GTA5 not 4.

I just loaded up my post-game save and it popped automatically.

I missed entirely on the Xbox One generation and its follow up from the Microsoft side. I am however considering getting a cheap Series X for Christmas, but I think I need some quality exclusives (ie not available on Steam*, Switch, or PS4) before I have second thoughts.

So, I'm making a list of anything I'd like to try and didn't get the chance since 2013. So far it's got Rare Replay, Forza Horizon 3, and Halo Wars 2. What else would you recommend? Genre is not important, I like everything that's fun or interesting.


* note I said "Steam" and not PC because I can't deal with the extremely lovely Microsoft Store, so any exclusive from there counts too

You can't purchase Forza Horizon 3 digitally anymore, so be prepared to buy a used disc copy for that one. Horizon 3 also was released on PC and you can buy a Steam code to play it there.

Alan Wake 2 is incredible and it's never going to be sold on steam. You want a big exclusive? There it is.
