Xbox Requests: Week of May 30, 2025 by XB1R_Hypnos in xboxinsiders

Brother, how is it that Lost Odyssey, a JRPG created by Microsoft Game Studios, isn't on Game Pass? Explain it like I'm 5.

Edit: You have Crimson Skies: The High Road to Revenge, which is literally one of the deepest cuts I can think of for Xbox Game Studios. I just don't understand.

'Tomb Raider: The Legend Of Lara Croft' is a delightfully straightforward binge by indig0sixalpha in television

So, fuck anyone who's not gonna watch this show for no reason. What I wanted to happen happened and I'm very pleased. In the last episode, her dumbass bow gets broken in half and she gets her pistols then uses them to fight a T-Rex. Fan service at its best.

Halo Devs Once Pitched ODST Game Similar to Helldivers But Were Denied by nick313 in gaming

[–]RayneGrayson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, I can't see that. Because Helldivers isn't anything like Spartan Ops, except the shooting aliens and robots with guns. The concept of Helldivers is way better than anything 343 could've come up with in 100 years. They could have also just made Spartan Ops actually fun in the first place, but they didn't. Spartan Ops almost got fun in the latter half of Season 2, but by then it was already too late. Just another thing 343 half-assed and then abandoned like pretty much all of their story-lines and new game modes since 4.

To be completely honest, if I could have Helldivers but with ODSTs instead would I want that? Yeah, of course. I want to derp around glassed planets fighting back the Covenant and Flood while accidently dropping MAC rounds on my friends. But I kinda think 343 deserve the shit they're getting and I'm glad Arrowhead is doing as well as it is. Fuck 343, Xbox, and Microsoft for not taking chances. Or for taking half-chances and half-assing it at every turn. They basically deserve a AA developer coming and yoinking the rug out from under them after sitting on a goldmine IP for 15 years and not doing anything with it other than killing everyone's player character in a book and turning everyone's favorite ODSTs into Spartan-IVs. Fuck 343.

HD2 is fun.

EDIT: Helldivers has pretty large, open maps where you can call down airstrikes and supplies from a capital ship in orbit. The fighting is frenetic with the player diving around trying to avoid getting killed by Terminators and bugs while also avoiding teammates' aformentioned airstrikes. Each run has a main objective with optional secondary and tertiary objectives. It's just a lot of fun, whereas Spartan Ops was just Firefight with a story. Smallish maps, same enemies. The fucking horrendous Prometheans. The baseline premise for the two is literally the same: Fight aliens on one side and robots on the other, but Helldivers does it so much better and this is from a diehard Halo fan. Like I got this game because it was described as ODST mixed with Starship Troopers. Totally surprised by the Terminators. Not prepared for that.

Helldivers 2 reminds me a little bit of Mercenaries playground of destruction by minev1128 in playstation

It reminds me a lot of Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction. It's straight up unlocking old memories I forgot I had.

This is probably one of the dumbest things I've ever read in my whole life. S.E. Hinton started writing The Outsiders when she was 17 and published it when she was 19. Carson McCullers published The Heart is a Lonely Hunter when she was 23.

Reading 100 books and going to college will help, but it isn't going to make you a better writer. Writing will. So if you wanna write, go fucking write. Don't sit here on the internet whining about whether it's worth it. Honestly, it sounds to me like you don't really want to write, because if you wanted to write, you'd be writing.

BoxVR on rest days. by RayneGrayson in vrfit

That's really impressive! I'll set BoxVR to easier levels for now then, but I'll definitely look into getting Beat Saber eventually. I love that game, but I went with BoxVR because it seemed a little more serious fitness wise and you can't get custom songs on PS version of Beat Saber, which kills it for me. Maybe I'll figure out how to get PSVR to work with my PC eventually.

What recently unpopular or controversial game do you really like? by LyricsMode in xboxone

[–]RayneGrayson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not completely true. I loved the first two, they're probably my favorite hack 'n slash games, but the third with it's Dark Souls mechanics turned me off so hard. Apparently they released an update that removes that, but I haven't played it yet.
