I hooked myself up with GamePass and soon will upgrade to gamepass Ultimate. Downloading Dead Cells and Enter the Gungeon. Adding Gears 4/5 to the download list and maybe more. Either way its a stupid great value since i practically have it for 3 years after getting on some XB Live deals.

Awwww sheet, managed to find this gem alongside Metroid Prime 1&2:

Another game I almost totally forgot about. Second Sight was hella underrated, and easily the best of that short wave of ā€œSci Fi power based third person shooterā€ genre we had going for awhile. PSI Ops was the other big one IIRC.

Def gonna be playing Metroid tonight. Iā€™m going for that sweet delicious 100% in both games. :sunglasses:

I had money once in my steam walletā€¦soon I was getting a bunch of strange friend requests from Russian women.

Thatā€™s when my paranoia kicked in.

Yeah, but the scanning is honestly one of my favorite aspects of those games. Even reading a paragraph of flavor text that Iā€™ve already seen a hundred times; Iā€™ll still read through it. I realize most normal people probably find it mundane, and aggravating in its necessity (for the 100% or to literally progress), but Iā€™ve always found it such an interesting way to give your world context and personality. Metroid has some of the most consistently written lore that also doubles as an amazing Sci Fi setting. I would honestly argue the large majority of its most interesting story beats arenā€™t even directly expirienced by Samus when youā€™re playing as her in any of the games. Samusā€™ story is a relatively small one, in a grand scheme of events that unfold in that universeā€™s timeline. The environmental storytelling really pushes that feeling forward. I think thatā€™s honestly a big part of whatā€™s made me able to appreciate Dark Soulsā€™ way of environmental storytelling.

But hey Iā€™m also a psychopath who enjoys reading hours upon hours of text in games so, yeah

Anyway Metroid is good

Metroid Prime is still one of my favorite story driven FPS games. I never played 2.

How do you all get hype for that project gg game when it dont even show any gameplay or anything?

I still play VJ here and there. Its a really great game.

Cortanna, Major Johnson and the Arbiter were some sick Metroid characters.

Re GameCube games:

While I had a GameCube there was a lot of ā€œmust playsā€ I never played during the consoles life time but played later. Games Iā€™d recommend are

Metroid Prime 1&2
TimeSplitters 1&2
Fire Emblem Path of Radiance
PokƩmon XD Gale of Darkness
Twilight Princess
Wind Waker (this one is iffy. The Wii U HD remake fixed all of its issues.)
Viewtiful Joe 1&2
Phantasy Star Online Episodes 1&2
Luigiā€™s Mansion
Mario Sunshine
Billy Hatcher
Star Fox Adventures (I unironically love this game to death)
Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes (I actually donā€™t remember how good this remake/port is)
Baton Kaitos and Baton Kaitos Origins (these games were fucking heroin to me)
Paper Mario and the thousand year door
F-Zero GX
Skies of Arcadia
Resident Evil 4 (cause why not?)
Kirbys Air Ride

Thatā€™s all I can think of off the top of my head. Many of which have already been mentioned. Iā€™m sure thereā€™s more.

Edit:
Bomberman Generations and Bomberman Jetters were awesome.
Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance
Cell Damage
Chibi Robo
Custom Robo
Crazy Taxi
Crash Nitro Kart and Crash Team Racing
Mario Strikers
TMNT 2003 trilogy
Wario World
X-Men Legends 1&2

I think thereā€™s another alpha test for Nioh 2 starting today. I missed the last one so Iā€™ll be giving it a shot later. :+1:

Monster Hunter movie gets 2 teaser posters

Yeah I was disappointed too. Was hoping itā€™d be closer to the Dark Alliance series. :pensive:
