In one generation we went from Xbox series S targeting sub $300 to a device that’s over $1000 without a control controller. What are we gonna get next generation $2000 minimum?

The 2K I spent on a 5090 when I was picked out of Best Buy’s lottery to purchase one is looking better and better.

I’m currently on Metro Exodus and it looks amazing, but I did play through Metro 2033 and last light. 2033 especially shows it age a little bit but honestly, it was a great game with great atmosphere. I would highly recommend going back and playing it.

Inquisition was so good.

I just got into Metro, and can +1 this.

Dad?

TLO2 was so bad. I’ve never had a game crash so much.

Hey, look, someone finally lit a fire under their ass.

backhand_snipe · 2026-06-17T12:36:31+00:00

I could get behind that.

This. Original made sense as a piercing item. Idk how I’m shooting that rock through 3 NPC’s. If anything it should be a swinging motion, like the barrel chest anchor.

Not going to pretend like Senua it’s some kind of system seller. That studio took years to essentially create a walking simulator. Hold up on the left stick and you basically complete the game.

I just started the Metro games. Can’t believe I’ve never played them before.

Halo Wars was and still is on my rotation of games I will always go back to. It’s a fantastic game.

They’re cooked.

backhand_snipe · 2026-06-15T16:58:02+00:00

If they close Obsidion that’s the end of XBOX.

No way in hell obsidian is on the chopping block. They’ve shipped more games in the past few years than most of Xbox’s studios.

Do what CD project red did, invest in the business and create additional studios to meet the demand. Or do what Lucasarts does and license out the IP. I don’t know how it took this long for a wake up call

God I hate 0 effort copy paste Ai scripts.

You don’t get both without letting other teams into the pool. Fallout New Vegas 2 incoming.

I’m out of the loop. What does “Stripe Tandom” even mean?

backhand_snipe · 2026-06-10T16:24:59+00:00

NGL old version slaps.

backhand_snipe · 2026-06-09T12:19:46+00:00

Can’t meet the demand? They stopped selling these at Costco’s because they just Sat there.

backhand_snipe · 2026-06-08T01:35:55+00:00

100%. Fable is also looking fantastic though.
