major titles in recent months like efootball 2022, Call of Duty Vanguard, Battlefield 2042, GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition etc bombed hard, but fortunately Forza Horizon 5 and Halo Infinite multiplayer are well received by players at the same time.

If it wasn’t for Microsoft, there wouldn’t be any high quality new major titles to play at the end of this year.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

okay?

 

[ReBurn]

Sound like Phil is Santa

 

[jakinov]

More people are still probably going to play COD and Battlefield. And don't forget Fornite too.

First, we'll ignore all the other AAA games that have released in the last few months: how are you calling bombs on titles that are either BARELY out or haven't even come out yet?

. . .is there a term for "console warring" that applies only to developers?

 

[Warnen]

yes it’s a good time for us “gamers”

 

[ACESHIGH]

Yeah, I have been gaming since the early 90s and rally don't remember such a massive 1 - 2 punch like Horizon 5 and Halo Infinite from any publisher. Add friggin' AoE 4 + FS 2020 on consoles and Psychonauts 2 and its insane. Things are looking really good for the near future. Feels like MS investments are finally paying off.

2022 should be even better, specially on PC starting the year with God of War, then Uncharted and hopefully System Shock Remake among many others.

 

[LazyParrot]

Expand your horizons to include older games and non-AAA releases and you’ll never have to rely on trillion dollar corporations to “save” your year again!

[tusharngf]

??????

Where the fuck is hitman 3. Where the hell is my boy agent47. Somebody get this man.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Metroid, Kena, and Deathloop say hello

 

[Skifi28]

My backlog singlehandedly saved 2021, and probably most of 2022.

 

[nush]

Halo Infinite multiplayer are well received by players at the same time.

How many hours has this been live for? Bit early for a victory lap no?

 

[DaleinCalgary]

Maybe that's because Halo was supposed to come out last year

 

[Sosokrates]

okay?

You know if your not that bothered you dont have to post in the thread.

Where does this rat meme originate from?

Bothered? I have an xbox you twit

 

[Guilty_AI]

not like i play those anyway

 

[Fare thee well]

Forza 5 was a game I was not expecting. But you have to take into account that I haven't played a fun car game since the NFS Hot Pursuit remake, and I have never tried a Forza game.

Forza is just a campy, joyful, non-realistic guilty-pleasure. I'm sure actual racing enthusiasts prefer a game like Assetto Corso, but I love Forza so far.

Drama - Cringe - It's funny when people are getting banned for console warring while some of the mods are console warriors

First of all to any mod reading this, if your mom was fucked by one man only don't delete this thread, even at era they don't delete anything unlike the green trash you have here that delete a lot of posts and threads, covering their tracks or what do you have to hide? Now to the malignant cunt...

BF and Vanguard are hella fun, what do you mean they bombed?

Damn foo, Halo and FH are icing on the already great cake.

Why even make a thread of this.

 

[Skifi28]

The majority of you don't know how to spot sarcasm, it seems.

Finding sarcasm on forums is like trying to find bear poo in the forest. Very hard to spot, but it's everywhere.

Oh, its an xbox positive meme. Thats nice.

 

[jeffyjaixx]

more like they saved the holiday season in the last 2 months of the year.

 

[RPS37]

For me it was
Psychonauts (just rolled credits today. Amazing game. Aware it’s not at all exclusive),
FH5 (pleasantly surprised. Graphics are next gen.),
and now Infinite beta (already played the flight a bit I know what I’m in for).

Super happy with my Series X, finally.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

I feel like all of them did great? MS didn't save anything singlehandedly.

 

[akaFullmetal]

Who knew releasing games on your system would go so well....glad the games are finally coming.

 

[ArtHands]

Expand your horizons to include older games and non-AAA releases and you’ll never again have to rely on trillion dollar corporations to “save” your year again!

Come to think of it, those Xbox backward compatible games news today are just cherry on the top. Many classic games not on PC will be playable once again. Like Dead or Alive games, Red Dead Revolver, Adventure Time: The Secret of the Nameless Kingdom etc

I've played several great games from many studios, including, but not exclusively Microsoft. Returnal, Metroid Dread, Psychonauts 2, Ratchet and Clank, Deathloop, Forza Horizon 5, just to name a few.

 

[BaneIsPain]

No, i think all games are great this year regardless of publishers/developers (with few exceptions?) but will be overshadowed by next year release.

 

[octiny]

Xbox game studios knocked it out of the ballpark this year.

Death Loop
Forza Horizon 5
Halo Infinite
Psychonauts
Age of Empires IV
FS (for console)

And that was all in the last 3ish months. Imagine once all their studios hit full stride.

[Ezquimacore]

Idk man, I had more fun with Demon Souls, SMT V and Metroid Dread than with forza... hopefully the halo campaign is perfection. btw nobody play Age of empires anymore...

 

[badblue]

That is a very narrow view of the gaming landscape. " high quality new major titles" is a string of buzz words that doesn't mean all that much.

Wait until you see 2022. The party not stopping.
