I finally bit the bullet and ordered a 65" Sony X900F. I can't wait to try some 4K HDR gaming on this puppy when it arrives! I might have to pick up AC Origins when it goes on sale tomorrow. Is the Gold/SP worth it?
Considering how good 4K and HDR look on my $600 TCL 6 series, I feel pretty confident it will melt your balls on an X900.

Have you played AC Odyssey? I strongly disliked Origins, but enjoy Odyssey. It seems that they were able to improve on a lot of the issues in Origins.

 
Thanks for the new dawn info everyone. Looks like I may be jumping back into 5 then. Was having a lot of fun with it but think I got distracted by a new release. Based on my friends list I have 20+ more hours to go in the base game if I want all the achievements, even more if I do the DLC before going to new dawn.
 
Hoping for a AC Odyssey Season Pass discount. PSN had it on sale a few weeks ago, so I’d imagine it won’t be long before the same happens on Xbox

Mental note: Order these ASAP

No, I'm always way behind on my AC games. I'm still back on Black Flag.

 
Man, I'm wanting to play something new but nothing on my owned list or GamePass is jumping out at me. Downloading a couple games I barely touched, Assassins Creed Liberation HD and Momodora, and one wildcard, Zoo Tycoon Ultimate. Hoping something peaks my interest. I think I'm wanting a WRPG but I'm not feeling what's on the backlog at the moment. I wish not every newer game was 60+ gigs, it's a bit harder to try and just install stuff at random like on 360.

Got to push back a little on BottleRocket‘s opinion. General consensus seems to be that Odyssey is a better game than Origins, but I still found both games to be enjoyable on their own. Thought they both served as an effective evolution of the open-world game formula Ubisoft has been working on for the past decade.

If the Gold edition of Origins is on sale for a good price I’d say it’s worth it.

Wonder if Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion will be a March GwG.  I don't think UFC 3 would go GwG, and everything else in that time frame looks Game Pass related.  Could lead to a salty reaction.

I don't remember many licensed games being GWG, looking at Ready to Install it's only been Disney stuff so far.

Brave

Cars 2
Epic Mickey 2

Lego Pirates, Star Wars, Indiana Jones

Also, that game is only 8 months old. I remember there being at least one more Adventure Time game that is a few years old now. Maybe though, who knows.

 
Apparently Phoenix Wright is out in Japan already, I saw someone post a screenshot downloading it and it had an English title so maybe it has English already. Probably not worth figuring out the currency and risking it not being translated I guess. Appears to be $30, but as far as I know they didn't give a hard date for the West yet.

Yeah that's the only one that jumped out at me in the spoilers, although doesn't it sometimes pick up delistings, wouldn't be the fastest something disappeared

 
I actually think I like Origins over Odyssey. Prefer the setting and other than some tweaks it’s not like Odyssey was some massive game changer compared to Origins.

Probably was patched since but found Odyssey to be glitchier as well.
 
What’s up my dudes! I’ve been away from the Xbox for about 1.5 years but recently jumped back over (thank you horrible ps store customer service) to spend my money on Xbox. I’m trying to figure out gaps in games or backwards compatabilities that I may have missed.

So if you have time, what are the exclusives or new killer backwards compat games that you think I may have missed and should check out?
 
Is Red Dead Redemption 2 worth it for $32 for someone whom hasn't even played GTAV yet and has a massive backlog and probably won't get around to it until Summer of this year the earliest?
Rockstar can be all over the place with pricing sometimes, you may find it cheaper in a few months depending if they can ever get Online off the ground (compared to GTAV.) I think you will probably be fine though, you should be able to find it at $40 at least, cheaper if preowned.
 
My weigh in on Anthem is that it COULD get better but I don't know how hard-wired things are. They made some questionable choices, the "Forge" should be a anytime menu to alter your loadout.

I played the Beta and about 2 hours of the Access content, I just couldn't get into it and I have put alot of time into The Division and Destiny.
 
The Walking Dead or the Oscars tonight?

These items have a countdown in their marketplace pages. The most likely reason is a discount, but it could also be GwG, Game Pass, delisting or even nothing (not uncommon for MS published titles on Game Pass). Just have to wait for the timer to run out. Day counters do not include hours or minutes. Countdowns with less than 1 day left. New items since last countdown post. (Resets Monday nights.)

Dear Ubisoft,

Please mark down South Park FBW season pass down 67% or more and make Assassin's Creed Origin Gold 75% off or I will complain how you guys am butt. Thank you.

-Me

 
What’s up my dudes! I’ve been away from the Xbox for about 1.5 years but recently jumped back over (thank you horrible ps store customer service) to spend my money on Xbox. I’m trying to figure out gaps in games or backwards compatabilities that I may have missed.

So if you have time, what are the exclusives or new killer backwards compat games that you think I may have missed and should check out?
I wouldn't say there have been any killer exclusives in that time other than Cuphead, and Forza Horizon 4 if you can deal with racing games. Maybe Sea of Thieves now that it has had a lot of updates, but that really depends how "in" you are with a multiplayer, make your own adventure style game.

Halo: Master Chief Collection has finally been fixed in that time, and is what it always should have been. They're still working on it, adding new features, and doing regular playlist updates.

As for BC that's a bit harder to quantify depending on what you like. Looking at the wiki for about 18 months I'd say the big additions are as follows:

  • Lost Planet series
  • Final Fantasy XIII trilogy of games
  • Kingdoms of Alumar: Reckoning
  • Metal Gear Solid HD Collection and Peace Walker, Zone of the Enders HD Collection, Silent Hill HD Collection
  • Sonic Generations
  • Crackdown
  • Vanquish
  • Spec Ops: The Line
  • Child of Eden
  • All the 360 Halos if you don't have MCC.
  • Metal Gear Rising Revengance

Finally, all the BC Original Xbox games have been added in that time frame. There are only about 30, but they're mostly all bangers:

  • KotOR 1 and 2, and most of the other Star Wars games
  • Morrowind
  • Jade Empire
  • Panzer Dragoon Orta
  • SSX 3
  • Ninja Gaiden Black
  • Psychonauts
  • Destroy All Humans
 
Got to push back a little on BottleRocket‘s opinion. General consensus seems to be that Odyssey is a better game than Origins, but I still found both games to be enjoyable on their own. Thought they both served as an effective evolution of the open-world game formula Ubisoft has been working on for the past decade.

If the Gold edition of Origins is on sale for a good price I’d say it’s worth it.
For me, the story isn't worth the investment, nor the frustrations of the gameplay. Odyssey is night and day with Origins. You can see where Ubi wanted to go with Origins, but I don't think they arrived there until Odyssey. If you enjoy it, you enjoy it. A big thing with AC games, at least for me, is combat. The combat had me pulling my hair out in Origins. It's fun again in Odyssey.

 
Apparently Phoenix Wright is out in Japan already, I saw someone post a screenshot downloading it and it had an English title so maybe it has English already. Probably not worth figuring out the currency and risking it not being translated I guess. Appears to be $30, but as far as I know they didn't give a hard date for the West yet.

The Switch version has English text. I'd be surprised if the Xbox version didn't either because that would require effort on Capcom's part.

 
Not so sure I agree with this. Tweaks, yes. But night and day? Not really. And I personally don’t feel the combat in Origins is bad at all. Haven’t had any real frustrations.
But to each their own.
To each their own, indeed. Odyssey's combat feels fluid, while Origins feels sluggish. The aspects that are night and day to me are the combat and the story elements. I'm having fun with the combat in Odyssey, which is something that never happened for me with Origins. I really wanted to like it, because I loved the setting. The world was beautiful with the potential of so much lore to explore. For the story, I cared less and less as more was revealed.

With Odyssey, the combat and story have me wanting to keep playing. The complete opposite of Origins. Hence night and day. Regardless, we all like different things in games, so it's good to get different opinions from different people.

According to people on TrueAchievements, the English version downloads if you buy it from the Japanese store. If I could buy it on my main account instead of having to create a Japanese account, I’d do it lol
 
At least we are getting some new features according to the description on the trailer for XII.

We've added all-new features to the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One versions:
- License (job) reset function - Customize the jobs of your party as you desire, to match whatever situation you're in.
- Gambit sets now increased to three sets from one
- Improved New Game +, now you can carry over items that were obtained in a previous play-through.
- Up to 60 FPS Capability (ONLY AVAILABLE ON XBOX ONE X VERSION)
 
Oh how I loved Hexic. Probably one of my most played games on the 360 lol
I understood what you meant. There are people who buy systems because they are able to give you access to games with better graphics and more processing power, but often the games that you play the most are the ones that are pretty basic. I have played Spelunky more times than I can count, yet I have an Xbox One with games such as Fallout 4, Far Cry 4, and The Witcher 3 on it that have only been played for less than a hour each.
Hexic HD was the first game I played on my :360: in glorious HD. We walked into Fry's wanting to buy a new toaster or something and we walked out after spending ~$2700 on a 57" Samsung DLP. Worth it.

not surprising, but not a fan of the prices
The only reason I am jumping on X/X-2 immediately is because I have enough of that expiring credit to cover most of the price. XII, however, will have to wait.

Getting XII for $40 with the Target B2G1 sale was good enough for me, since the PS4 version still sells for $25-30 on sale. I really want to buy IX but apparently there's a glitch that won't let you rename any characters,

Big thanks for the great reply. Never got to finish the xiii trilogy so being able to do that is exciting as well as Kingdoms of Amalur which I loved.

Apparently all of the glitches that were present in the mobile port of FFIX made their way into this console port. I'd like to think they'll fix them, but I think they've been there for a great while now.

 
What's on the potential sales list today? I only recall Darksiders III which I'm hoping for ~$30

Looks like a Ubisoft sale tonight too. PSN just had a Ubisoft sale, I would look at that for expectations on what the prices will be.

I'm also curious what the Crash & Spyro bundle will be price at, $30 is wishful thinking on my part.

Were these present in the PS4 version? I assumed the Steam version came first, and the console ports were from the PC.

What is up with Square-Enix porting mobile versions of games? Chrono Trigger on Steam is actually quite good now that they released so many fixes (I've played 2/3 of it and there's nothing wrong with it now) but it never should have been so shoddy in the first place.

Same with that re-skinned FF6 which still has menus that look like they're for touch screens. I don't get it.

Unsatisfactory (but probably true) answer --> Maximum cash grab with minimal effort.

I think it was $50 base price, so you got it for $33.33 + tax. I did the same.

I think that's the way it went but unfortunately before Steam there was an Android/Ios version that birthed them all

Yeah, the Final Fantasy IX mobile game came first, ported to Steam then console. Ditto with Secret of Mana, FF 6 and probably a few others.

There was a lot of backlash on Steam especially about them just being mobile ports.

It’s just SE going the cheapest route possible for a cash grab.

Xbox needs some of that Steam Chrono Trigger and FF6 love. Even shitty versions of those games are still a worthwhile experience.
It's very odd that not even the PS4 has the ports of FF3 (JP) from the updated PSP port (of the DS remake... my head hurts) or Chrono Trigger, let alone the other games.

I know mobile is a bigger market in Japan which is probably why the iOS and Android ports exist at all, but competent ports of those old games would be pure profit on current gen. I'd love to have most of the FF games, Chrono Trigger, etc. on X1.

I'm guessing you don't have an X but they were all enhanced if you do have one. Even on a normal Xbone they swapped out the CG cutscenes in XIII with much better quality ones from the PC version, so it's still an upgrade.

What’s that Nier price gonna be....

Edit 39.99, I’ll wait til $30 or lower and if it never hits that, I just won’t play it.

The thing stopping me most from grabbing FFX/X-2 again is the minigames + the requirements for getting most of each characters best weapons in FFX.

You'd think with all these re-releases they would have done some minor tweaking on that front.
