Oblivion Remastered has its hooks into me right now like it did when it came out almost 20 years ago. I still want to give 33 and Towerborne a try, but it may be halfway through June by the time I get there.

I’m at level 164 on Forza Horizon 5. I went back to the first one a few months ago and played through it again and am now playing through the second one. I’m looking forward to playing Forza Horizon 3 now that they have fixed the HDR in it. The screen was way too washed out before they patched it. Looking over my saves, I’m over level 100 and almost at 200 on each of them. It’s the main reason I play my Xbox so much!

I already have it, but would love to be able to play it on the cloud. My family dynamic has changed a bunch over the past year and I’m playing streaming on my Steam Deck a lot more than I used to.

I have been so tempted to put Windows on my Steam Deck for this exact reason. This may push me more into that direction.

It was a light year for me with 20 on Xbox, 2 on Switch, and 6 on PS5.

I get mine on Tuesday since I’ve been digital since the 360 days and I want the higher quality visuals over the Series S. I’m hoping the top isn’t green. I like the minimalist look to the new Series X and can’t wait to play it!

This is exactly why I stopped subscribing to Ultimate. I literally do not care about the games, but love playing the cloud on my Steam Deck. I will jump on this day one!

I just preordered EA Sports College Football last night. I know I’m going to like it and I want to make sure it’s ready to go day one.

I bought a Steam Deck when the OLED came out and thought I would use it to play my Steam games. Instead, I hopped on the Cloud gaming service and have been playing games on the cloud. It doesn’t work that well at work, but when I am home it plays like it’s running natively on the system. I would love to have games running natively on an Xbox handheld so I can take it out of the house.

I don’t care about what games go to PlayStation or Switch as long as I can continue to play my games. I have been playing Spider-Man and Xbox Cloud Gaming on the Steam Deck as well and I love the convenience. In the end, it’s a plastic box. As long as I can play the games I want to play on a plastic box, then I will be happy.

I have been doing this for over a year on my iOS devices using an app called XBPlay. I mainly use it on Steam Deck, but it runs GamePass at 1080p and 60 frames per second. I hope that Microsoft can come up with a good app as well now that Apple will allow it.

I logged into a friend’s Xbox years ago and had to put in a code that was texted to me (before the Authenticator app) and he gave me crap about it. I’ve never been hacked, but I like to think it’s because I use the app which lets me know someone is trying to get in.

@jamescrowx What has me curious about this whole thing is the multiplayer they said was coming. I always thought it was coming when they left the open beta, but there has been no word on it.

I dropped dozens of hours into this for the Xbox when I then bought it again on the Switch so I could play it at work and still play it everyday. I will be picking the expansion pass up and will keep supporting it as long as they keep adding more characters, items, and scenarios.

I bought a 360 just so I could play Oblivion. All of the podcasts I listened to would spend weeks talking about it and 1UP Yours literally banned themselves from talking about it after a few weeks since they had to move on to new games. Even now, I love to play it, especially with how nice it looks on a Series X.

@theduckofdeath Plus, this keeps people from hacking the Xbox. You can run home brew on the PS5 because of an exploit but this doesn’t happen on Xbox because there is no point. I spend my $20 and I’m in with little effort.

They have the emulators in place on this service, I would love to be able to point an emulator at my Dropbox account and pull my legally owned roms onto the streaming service. I know it would be hard to do since so many people would cheat the system.

@theduckofdeath I’m at 121k, but I have moved on to Fortnite with my friends from high school which doesn’t do achievements on the Battle Royals.

Wow! 94,000 achievement score is a respectable number. Most on my friend’s list are under 30,000.

Picking up the 360 games I missed over the years. Last night I picked up R-Type Dimensions and Strania…next week, after finishing these two…I’m picking up Infinite Undiscovery.

@SAH77777 Thank you for your warnings. I try to stay away from these types of games as I have a very addictive personality and don’t want to fall into gambling. Plus, I have Mario Kart and Sonic Racing games which cover that kart racer need. As much as I like Disney and DreamLight Valley, this one will be a hard pass.

@Krzzystuff That’s what I thought too. I did just check out the official website and it says that Gold is required. I’ll try it out when I get home this weekend.

@ZuneTattooGuy I used to, but rarely ever used it. The only multiplayer game I play once a week with friends is Fortnite, which does not require Gold or Ultimate.

I’ve been wanting to try this out, but I have read that it requires Xbox Gold, which I do not have. I need to look into it and see if that is truly a requirement.

Thank goodness it’s not coming to the US. I’m wanting to stay on this diet that I started and this would just incentivize me to cheat, just so I could get some Forza Horizon 5 content.

I loved Lake. In fact, I need to take this time to pick it up to keep. Such a relaxing game and I love the movie references in the video rental store.

Couldn’t figure out what to play last night, so I fired up Fallout New Vegas again. This time I need to go for a different ending. I’ve never joined Mr. House.

I love Mexico…heck, I love the locations of all of the Forza Horizon games…but give me the original Colorado map running through 5 and I’d be giddy as a schoolgirl!

I buy games that are on GamePass that I enjoy playing when they are about to be delisted. This way I can still play the ones I like while getting the 20% discount.

@Snake_V5 absolutely! Just don’t get hung up on collecting the nothings. Otherwise, it’s a great Dragon Quest style game.

He’s correct, it looks amazing on Series X. In fact, I’m not buying too many HD remasters if they were already in HD to begin with. Looking at 360 and PS3 games, most of them still hold up.
