Might as well get it started. Who's looking forward to it? I personally think that it could beat PS5, that is if they don't screw up. They need a basic UI, more first party titles, and focus only on gaming. They own the license to Rare games, we need to see new Conkers, Perfect Dark, Banjo Kazooie, etc. They did alright with Killer Instinct, I'll give them that, but they're sitting on a lot of games that needs remade, remastered, and sequels.
As far as I know, it's slightly more powerful than the PS5, which isn't a big deal. But what is a big deal is that it will come with more storage. XBSX will have 1TB, which I admit, is not much by today's standards. The PS5 will have 825GB, which is ridiculous. I'm guessing that the next gen games will be around 100gb or more in size on average. If that is the case, I expect the discs will be on 4k UHD blu-rays.

For the life of me, no matter the way I try to play Gamepass or my Xbox through my Steam Deck remotely, it lags and makes it unplayable. It's either a half second to a second delay, massive frame dips or both. My Xbox just isn't in a spot I normally play in and remote play would be way better.

That’s why I love the Switch even though the hardware is outdated. Love playing anywhere I want. It’s a shame game pass isn’t optimized for Steam Deck yet. If and once it does I’ll def buy one.

Signalis - Honestly have no idea what this game is about but I'm liking it. Just beat the first boss. It's like a top down Resident Evil style game, I guess. 6 item inventory limit. Enemies can get back up/respawn after being killed unless you shove a flare up their butt-hole.

Signalis - 10/10
Play Signalis. It's great. So fudging good. Like a Mashup of Resident Evil and Silent Hill with a weird as fudge story.
It's like if A24 made a video game.
I'm gonna probably play it again.
So fudging good.

So GP is set to lose these games at midpoint of Feb, anybody have thoughts of them?
Infernax, Besiege, Recompile, Skul: The Hero Slayer, The Last Kids on Earth and the Staff of Doom, and the CrossfireX campaign
I beat Infernax and it was good.
I tried Skul but didn't get very far.
I've been wanting to try out Recompile, anyone play it?

I didn't even know Crossfire had a single player campaign.
It looks mindless with good Remedy style lore, might give it a go.

CrossfireX on GP lets you play the 1st half of the campaign not the entire thing. It's not terrible but it's not great either. Definitely doesn't have Remedy's usual high quality bar.

Oh man Infernax is getting taken off GP? That stinks. It was a really good gothic like 2D side scroller that filled a Castlevania like void.

How long is Infernax? It's on my list to play. Guess it'll be bumped now
Highly skill dependent. 5-6 hrs if you’re on it. Probably like 15 or so to plat.
It’s heavily influenced by simon’s quest- a game I would rent often as a kid- so it was a complete joy for me to play.
It’s tough to play it once though- I made a decision I regretted in the first few minutes.

I think I put around 10+ hrs into Infernax. I also tried 2 of the unlockable other characters. Some sections were more challenging/annoying vs others. Was a solid game overall.

I just tried Deaths Door, very cool game. I only just started but died about 5 times on the first soul I'm supposed to capture.
As far as remote play, I am trying it in a different location on wifi on my 5th gen 12.9 iPad Pro. I was able to get Red Dead to load and work but I tried Fortnite and it goes to the menu and tells me to reconnect the controller. I tried Deaths Door and No Man's Sky and it gives me an error that says quit remote play first. Disconnect your remote play session to play games from the cloud, or launch something already installed
I'm sure I'm not doing something right but I'm loving this Series X

the Hot Wheels game on Gamepass is FUNNNNNN and it has the season pass so you get like 80 cars with it.
The graphics are great, the cars look like toys, the reflections and models are fantastic.
Haven't tried split screen with it.
Darkest Dungeon is BACK on Gamepass, those that haven't played it, give it a shot. Its one of my all time favorite games.

Sadly, it was not that great ... I was kind of disappointed. Still, super early build, will revisit once it's final.

I was afraid of that. I love Arkane's games. But this one doesn't look good to me. I'm not sure I'll like this one.

I don't think you can judge off a pre release, they have 3 months of non stop crunch time.

The campaign stuff is fine but most of our fun was found in the UGC tracks. So many new tracks it kept things fresh for us for a long time.

Holy god, i took a little nibble of an edible yesterday afternoon and played that Hot Wheels game for like 4 hours yesterday.
Wow, i am hooked. I really like that the campaign is challenging, some of those races are NOT EASY.
I really like that you're able to sell back or scrap cars you get in the loot boxes, i wish more games would do that.
ALSO, WOW, the soundtrack is amazing. I don't know if its an original score or they got unknown licensed tracks, but its a great mix of funk, electronic, dubstep and trance.
Ignore the bad reviews and download that when you get a chance.
