@Ryuu96 The only one I see who hasn't given out their top 5 games. Smh. 

Going to see how well I know him and guess his top 5 of this gen. :)
1) Witcher 3 (Xbox One)
2) Breath of the Wild (Switch)
3) Ori Will of the Wisps (Xbox One)
4) Mario Odyssey (Switch)
5) Doom 2016 (Xbox One)

Honorable mentions: AC Odyssey, Pokemon Let's Go, might say Spiderman on PS4 to appear less xbot-ish. 

Damn I was going with either Doom or fucking Titanfall, because I remember you loved that damn single player. 

Where's the fanfest news?

Microsoft need to do a better job of advertising and showing off the launch next gen games. For example, I had no idea the medium has ray tracing. It turns out it does. Also, call of the sea has it too, but I had no idea.

Anyone peep that Genshin Impact isn’t coming to Xbox in the future according to the dev? Kinda a big loss for Xbox, especially if it keeps growing.

I was never worried when these guys were announced. Google and Amazon are top world corporations, but they don’t know the gaming market. You can have YouTube or Twitch integration but it don’t mean squat if you lack the 1st party studios that set you apart. Not to mention they lacking in the console infrastructure that Xbox uses hand-in-hand with Xcloud growth. 

But most importantly their IPs lack history. Doom, Wolfenstein and Flight SIM are among the oldest and longest running franchises in gaming. Even Halo is turning 20 next year. Gears 14 and Forza 16 years old. Anybody can make new IPs, which Xbox is also doing, but these 2 new players have no nostalgia on their side, no historical weight to their IPs. And they gonna learn that the hard way. 

I'd say there is a 100% chance there is easter eggs in it for upcoming games since MS love their easter eggs.

So according to this Compulsions next game will be in 3rd person and by past job posting will have narrative choices, so a 3rd person RPG then? https://mobile.twitter.com/Studiotypes/status/1314184812907892736?s=19

Could be an Adventure as well.

I didn't let the overhype wave convince me we were going to get the Nomura product that was just vaporware anyways: they announced an engine change and then a director change, with only around four years for development. Just think of the amount of time between F3 and F4 and you'll realize the amount of resource crunch needed to develop the final product. 

I liked the game because the main story felt fairly good and to me, gave closure to the FNC, as I still considered that to exist (the fact FF is apparently rebooting itself with XVI all but confirms this was the endgame of the current series). There's also the fact that Nomura's KH3 project didn't turn out to be that much better until he pulled the TWEWY card out (mad respect for having done that though). 

I liked the game's characters and story, but it definitely felt like it had become a race to the end instead of an open world game with high replayability value (perhaps developing the whole gamut of modding tools would've allowed the community to breathe new life into it), but the main story was good and the only one I think of often. All other games had stories that were interesting but didn't pull me in the way XV did. Also, the horror element of ZK was amazing and I just wish that, along more cities (dumb Tabata didn't realize he could've made far more cities and locations cheaply if he put the cities in a different cell instead of placing everything on the underworld map) would've made the game extremely addictive. 

I wonder myself why no RE made the list though. I think I should've added one, but it would probably be 6th. 

Control is the type of game Remedy made that I can't get enough of and it reminded me of one really good reason why I'm playing it: I'm utterly hopeless with badass redheads. Like, terribly so: even my dating history checks out - redheads and blondes. It's one of the few Western games where I can safely say if there was any character creation, I wouldn't use it! 

Also, if I could, I would sacrifice Patty, Flynn and the Telescopic Graveyard all for the sake of getting all the instances of Duke OST back into the castle. I definitely stand by my opinion from when I played the PS version of the game: the original, for all the missing easter eggs, was better. 

Also, mentioned Code Vein at some point and if I didn't well... here's the honorable mention... because that character creator was insanely powerful. I love it. 

Something I did notice is that I had a falling out with JP games. I owned a Vita which had nothing but those, but in retrospective I kind of feel I was actually cheated out of it (no wonder I smashed it with a hammer and threw it out a balcony window) and the Xbox had made me feel I actually had something to turn to even if I didn't binge as much on SP games. It led me to the conclusion that my gaming preferences are shaped by my console of choice rather than the other way around: I choose Xbox and develop a fancy for the Xbox games. If I played Sony, I developed a fancy for the games the console had. This, and the reminder that I had wanted an Xbox ever since the arrival of the original, made it clear to me that I have always been Team Green since the beginning.

Even though they already announced the reason why? The Xbox Series is coming out in weeks and the XBO is already at EOL. The PS4 was accounted for due to every dev developing for it. Simply put... 

The PS4 was the master. All other versions were ports. Porting to the XBO makes no sense because no one is going to buy it anymore. They'll wait for Series X.
