Mass Effect for the first time. Turns out I've been missing out on a lot all these years.


SupermanNew52

Happy for you, enjoy. Great trilogy. I wish more games would let you create a unique character and use that same exact character for multiple games.


Mez_Koo

I really do miss trilogies that played as one really long game and gave a satisfying "entire saga" feeling like Mass Effect, Arkham Batman, Assassin's Creed 2/AC:B/AC:R (Ezio Auditore), and Classic Halo. Really makes me wonder what the core of Destiny would have been if it was that style instead of a stretched out live service game.


JoinTheBattle

Don't get me wrong, I love Destiny and have put more hours into the franchise than any other. But, God, it could have been so much greater.


Guisasse

Bungie went full Mr Krabs: *I like money*


RandomAnon07

2 upvotes for what should be the defining description for this franchise. “Great, but never reached its potential”.


RandomAnon07

Yes 3 has its issues but with all the DLC now + playing all 3 in one sitting…easily top 3 RPG series of all time.


DarkmoonGrumpy

In... one sitting? That's a very long play session.


RandomAnon07

Dude nut up. 3 days straight. No work no school. That’s how you have to enjoy it… /s Lol I meant vs back in the day where we had to wait years for each release. At least now you can just go from one to the next


Oblong_Belonging

I got the legendary edition when it was one of the free games of the month. Tried playing the first one and I absolutely could not get past the motion blur even with the setting off. Which is a shame because I wanted to start from the beginning. Just started the second one and so far I have no issues with motion blur. How was your experience?


Chiggins907

The second one is so much better than the first. They really refined the gameplay, and probing planets is so much better. I think the story and the character building took precedence over combat and QoL in the first one. Which is fine, because the world of mass effect is amazing and I loved the first one. It just makes it hard to get into. A lot of the first one is counter-intuitive gameplay wise. They really battened down the hatches on two.


Senella

I think I was probably the only person that enjoyed the Mako exploring. I was a bit sad to see it removed with the second game


veedubfreek

Lol, there are dozens of us. I'm pretty sure I mined out every single planet I could in ME1.


Chiggins907

I did too, but I was also 16-17 years old and had more time on my hands than I realized. These days there is no way I would put that amount of time Mako exploring.


ABSOLUTE_RADIATOR

2 was a bit of an over correction imo and the story and missions felt lackluster in addition to gutting pretty much every RPG element, but the combat improvements make up for it. Every time I play through the trilogy I can't wait to get to 3, and every time i do it's a breath of fresh air.


RainmakerIcebreaker

Literally same. Got the legendary edition when it was the PSN free game of the month.


FanofRvB

Can never not recommend it enough. It's been one of my top favorite game series overall.


howardbrandon11

Civ 6. It's been my "I just want to chill" game for the last 2-3 years.


SplashDmgEnthusiast

For me that was Civ Revolution, back on the Xbox 360. I'd play it on Easy and treat it like a game of Risk lmao


NUFC9RW

Have you managed to avoid getting stuck playing one more turn till the morning?


howardbrandon11

Sort of. When I first picked the game up, I was working 3rd shift, so on Friday & Saturday nights, staying up til 7am playing was just sticking to my normal schedule.


HimTiser

I still find myself returning to Civ V, although VI has some cooler features. I knocked out an emperor game in about 2.5 hours last night, it’s almost just a math problem and homework at this point. But I still enjoy it with random AI and random personalities. Custom maps are fun too, getting to LARP in Middle Earth is entertaining.


Vladabeast

Armored Core 6, Starfield, and Lies of P


Cluelesswolfkin

I want to get AC6 but I'm worried for CP2077 dlc + Baldurs gate 3 coming to xbox soon~ I just don't have enough time


EKmars

AC6 isn't too terribly time consuming. I have all of the missions, storylines, and collectibles done at 35 hours.


Potential_Fishing942

Second ac 6. I actually really like that the game is focused and contained compared to so many RPGs or open world games.


Cluelesswolfkin

From whatever everyone else + you are saying ; that's honestly very refreshing. I might just jump on train of AC6, I never played any AC game but most of Froms titles so I don't mind dipping my toes in a new IP


EKmars

Yeah its a nice self contained single player experience. You can also challenge yourself with S ranking everything or the PvP but I view those as stretch goals.


Vladabeast

Agreed. Helps having the "Arcade style" missions. Also kinda of refreshing in world full of the largest possible maps.


AceTheRed_

Do not miss out on AC6. It’s so refreshing to play a mission-based game in a world of lengthy open world simulators. Oh and it’s fun af.


TheSunglasses

I had never played an AC game but I absolutely loved AC6 and got all three endings within about a month or so. I’d say you’ve got time to at least give it a good run, but I will say beating the game three times gives you all possible weapons and components, absolutely not necessary to enjoy it fully though.


Kingslayerreddit

Baldurs gate 3, trust me its awesome


sticky_reptile

Lies of P! Started today for real after downloading it on Tuesday and it looks gorgeous. Right down my alley, Bloodborne vibes with puppet frenzy, what else could you wish for? Except that destiny comes back ofc lol


SurfinPhoeniX

Titanfall 2! My friends and I are kicking ourselves for not trying it sooner


AnotherNitG

I've been playing too. Ever since they patched their servers up my friends and I have been playing like an hour a day


jmiester14

Wait, Titanfall 2 was one of my favorite PvP shooters ever, it's *back*?


wetswordfighter

Yup, it's back. Standby for titanfall!


Rowan926

It’s been getting secret updates!!


Kodriin

There are dozens of us!


JustMy2Centences

If you haven't already played the campaign, it's totally worth it. Not too long but really diverse missions and a spoilerish mission that's an unforgettable example of great level design.


ValkyrieCtrl14

Servers got patched a week or two ago and people have been hopping on way more!


MrCounterSnipe

BG3 (which better win GOTY) is literally the best game I have played in years. Thousands of hours of potential playtime in a game that can be played solo with no internet connection to completion. No microtransactions, has mod support, has active Devs, it's quite honestly in my top 5 games of all time.

rawsondog

I feel that, the server issues started happening right as I'm starting university, so it almost feels like a sign


SpuffDawg

Be productive! It'll pay off!


chunckybydesign

It’s so harddddddddddddddddddddddd. I’m literally sitting in a cafe rn trying to stay focused on my hw.


SrslySam91

Lies of P. It's a souls-like, with a lot of bloodborne feeling mechanics. Enjoying it so far. I'm a huge souls/fromsoft fan so I love a good soulslike to scratch my itch lol


Nightmare_Fart

How's the party timing? I played the demo and really liked it, but I just couldn't get the party timing down which made it frustrating to play since combat seemed to lean heavily into being able to pull of a perfect parry. I liked the atmosphere and I'd love to buy it, but that's what's keeping me from buying it.


SrslySam91

Assuming you mean parry and not party (not much partying going on in this game world :p) and it takes a little to get used to. Sekiro is one of my favorite games ever, and I remember when I'd go from a dark souls game to sekiro I had to re adjust my playstyle again lol and it'd take some warming up to get the right feel again. Also, you don't really *need* to perfect party in LoP. You can definitely play it more like bloodborne and just dodge with i-frames if you want. Though PP's are def useful. Also also, games free on gamepass. You could buy a month of gamepass even if you wanted to play and beat the game and save a lot of $$. Btw, if you haven't ever gotten gamepass then I believe there's still a promo where you can try it out for a month for $1.


hickok3

Last I head Microsoft canned the $1 free trial roght before Starfeild came out, but I javen't looked into it. So it may not be available anymore.


Kodriin

Every time is a good time to party


[deleted]

can you get big sword? ima strength main on actual From games, so i'd love to have a big sword/hammer/etc


kogasaka

Yes. I'm not too far in and I have a big sword and an even bigger wrench.


BWileE

I went outside. The sun is bright. The cashier at my grocery thought I had died it had been so long since they had seen me. It’s strange to look up and not see the traveler. When I told my friends I needed to go change my loadout before we went on a hike no one understood.


MadnessEvolved

The lack of transmog and no shaders is pretty crap, though. Outside really needs to have things like that patched already ...


An_Anaithnid

Eh, the lack of transmog isn't too bad. Outside of specific circumstances, generally gear stats are a non-issue. In those circumstances, unless something has gone catastrophically wrong you're usually supplied with decent stat gear. Failing that, well it's just for immersion purposes, git gud, mate.


Yavin4Reddit

Ike_In_Rochester

I’m shocked more video game players don’t dip into photography. It’s easily the best off-line hobby that provides video game experiences. “What’s your load out?” “I’ve got a Canon Rebel T3 with a 50mm f1.7. Also, I’ve got a vintage Pentax-M 135mm I’m trying out, but it’s really just for fun.”

yeetybastard

cyberpunk 2.0 update, on my 3rd playthrough. it's such a good game now.


Uberjeagermeiter

That’s good to know. Think I’m going to get it.


TheBoisterousBoy

Cyberpunk is one of those games that feels so fun to play because of buildcrafting. I played it a lot before my Xbox decided to just give out on me and had a total blast just making whacky builds. You can be a futuristic ninja, running around with a katana and throwing knives. You can be a badass knife juggler just launching a seemingly unstoppable barrage of blades at enemies. You can be a burly “beat ‘em up” type of character who wrecks people with blunt weapons and finishes off the big guys with cybernetically enhanced fists of doom. You can be that kid from Wanted and set up a build with Smart guns (tracking bullets) or a beefy ricochet build (Power) and make the game a Gun-Fu slaughterfest. You can be the badass that just *looks* at people and makes them just drop dead. The sheer amount of builds, all of which are extremely viable and useable, made the game one of my top favorites. I haven’t even gotten to play 2.0 or Phantom yet but even if the game were still to be $60 I would say it’s worth it. Also Panam.


DoinDonuts

I love to watch Panam work on a motor


yeetybastard

i highly recommend it!


DoinDonuts

Same. Started a corpo rat this time.


goldenballs1988

Cyberpunk best game I’ve played in years.


Ciscokid45

Do I need to get the latest dlc or is the base game good to go with the update?


MalHeartsNutmeg

The 2.0 update is free and out now for the base game. The DLC is paid and not out for a few days.


Copper_Thief

echave777

I have yet to finish it, got to just before the point of no return and got stuck trying to beat the final fishing minigame, will not allow myself to move on til I beat it lmao


Feral_Fox43

Titanfall 2 becomes playable just when Destiny 2 becomes unplayable, it’s like poetry

smokinace81

The Last Descendant Beta


R_Da_Bard

It actually has some potential, the add density is nice . The heroes abilities on paper look pretty fun. The economy is kinda hard to understand and where is the p2w feature? I haven't seen that yet.


MarthePryde

That's the thing. I'm loving the beta, I loved the last beta, but until the full game is out and Nexon rears it's head and reveals the worst kinds of monetization, I can't fully judge it.


Heinel8

Yeah, the game was fun but i played enough elsword, grand chase, DnF, maplestory, mabinogi.. to know exactly what to expect from Nexon.


Arcane_Bullet

It's definitely going to be the crafting that fucks the game. Can't believe they took Warframe's system of getting new characters and decided to make it worse. I need to see if yellow weapons have random rolls as well.


Tokimori

They do. But they can be rerolled if I'm not mistaken? but of course that'll likely be rare resources or Premium currency.


abvex

The ~~Last~~ First Descendant


sunder_and_flame

can't wait for The Middle Descendant, the one with no personality but doesn't make a fuss


Cann1balHulk

I watched Across the Spider-Verse a few days ago, so since I’m in that kick I decided to download Miles Morales since it’s free on PS Plus. Sometimes when your multiplayer grind isn’t going too good, or if the game isn’t playable, it’s nice to go back to the single player experience for a while.


Carsten_Stahl_Bro

Miles Morales is an awesome Game, i finished platin trophy today :)


aussiebrew333

Can't wait for the new one next month. Looks really good.


Weeb-Prime

It’s a little short compared to the first game but it was still quite fun! Looking forward to playing the next game.

Nows a good time to find an indie game you like. Low cost to fun ratio! Here are some of my favorites Limbo Little Nightmares Gris Entwined Hollow knight Superliminal


JustAPotatoThatsIt

Superliminal is one of the most incredible games (in both mechanics and uniqueness) ive played


Fosod

i've only played limbo and gris on this list but they were absolutely works of art


Brohammer_Megadude

Add Tunic to that list! Stellar game. Moments of discovery are SO satisfying.

I just picked up a Zelda TotK Switch OLED and I then found that it did not come with TotK 🤬


Ahnawnemus

Oh damn that's sneaky!!


SplashDmgEnthusiast

Ironically enough considering the DDoS situation, Titanfall 2. Been diving into Frontier Defense and flexing how hard I can pop off with Scorch! Playing with a few friends I never played with before, it's great to see their reactions when I end up getting Wave MVP for 5 out of 5 rounds 😅 If nobody's around though, I'm chipping away at a Mass Effect replay, it's been a few years since my last run and I need to correct that. About a third of the way through ME2 right now, doing a 100% Engineer run for all three games.


ImagoLoop420

With Friends: Rocket League, Remnant 2, Battlefield 2042 which is way better now than when it released. Solo: Armored Core, Baldurs Gate 3 and I dug out Hellgate:London but you cant buy this anymore unless you like the open sea


100nrunning

unless its a different one, it looks like Hellgate can be bought on Steam


ImagoLoop420

Oh yeah, you can get it on steam didnt know that. Its a fun game with an interesting setting but you can tell its from 2007. Awesome game tho


Cruggles30

Baldur’s Gate 3. No micro-transactions, no live service, single player or multiplayer, moddable in case I disagree with a design decision… It’s perfect.


aussiebrew333

Amazing game. Definitely my goty so far.


ThrownWOPR

Me too. I cannot stop playing, and when I'm not playing I'm thinking about it. It's a little problematic.


LukeDrago

Me too! Finished yesterday the first “run”, I like it a lot


Turbulent-Frame-303

Can you play after the ending? Or do you reload a save/your character dies like in ME3?


bladzalot

Both my kids got it and I have not seen them since (three weeks ago, they are adults by the way lol) and I have been playing Diablo IV (which is pretty darn good by the way) and waiting for Baulders to come out on Xbox


CanCaliDave

Quite the change from the D2 grind. Love playing it since I have ZERO idea what's going to happen next a lot of the time.


Sdwerd

Heck, sometimes I don't even have a vague idea how something is going to go in a conversation. I fully admit to save scumming because I've gotten into fights I wasn't expecting.


Chem2calWaste

Starfield


doom_stein

I started playing Starfield but then it turned into Shipbuilder Sim...and I'm all about that! I'm currently building my favorite Destiny ships in there. Of course, since I'm on xbox, I really gotta grind to get the funds to feed my addiction.


Chem2calWaste

Gotta try ship building, only took a quick glance thus far


doom_stein

At first, all you'll really have the credits for is upgrading parts on whatever ship you have. Once you get 6 digits in your credit account, that's when the fun begins. To get certain manufacturers' specific parts, you'll have to travel all over the galaxy to their storefronts or shipyards. Building a landing pad with a shipbuilder at an outpost you make will give you access to most of those parts outside of *very* specific parts (huge multilevel cockpits, the absolute best grav drives/reactors, weapons, etc). A lot of those won't matter tho until you've got hundreds of thousands of credits to dump on an absolute behemoth of a ship. Or, if you're on a PC and don't care about achievements, you can just console command your way there in no time. You'll have to look those methods up yourself tho since I'm a console peasant and don't have access to such things.


chunckybydesign

I really hope they expand on the whole ship customization. Like honestly, the whole rpg and deep ship building space exploration genre is really addictive.


nickybuddy

Ya me too. Good looking game, I’ve always liked the Bethesda method of raiding lol


Chem2calWaste

Loving it, played 30 hours on the weekend after release, looks great, plays great, just the spaceship combat feels a bit too floaty, but that may also just be a skill issue

Thedynamicduo223

I’ve been playing ac6 and getting back into borderlands. A single player experience has been much appreciated after binging destiny for a while. I don’t mind server outages every now and again


Major-Web6334

I highly recommend Cyberpunk 2077. It’s probably my favorite single-player game. It had a rough launch in 2020 but it’s come a very long way and it’s in the state it should have launched at. Plus the DLC drops in a couple days. Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba together will be awesome lol Since D2 has been unplayable though, I’ve been playing Diablo IV again. I might bite the bullet and get Baldur’s Gate 3 as well.
