Was their a major console warring thread that I missed?

Both @adamsapple and @CatLady lost for a month with no example post.

Yet, it has been so uneventful over the last few months outside of the ABK thread (which I didn't see much of anything recent from them). Did I miss a good thread or something? LOL

Nothing that I saw particularly blatant. Perhaps mods are catching up. There was the one from a couple days back where the OP praised subscriptions from both Sony and MS, and Toad went ridiculously aggressive calling people dumb and poor. At least he’s out for longer.

Hey green rats! Happy new year and I hope it will be a doozy. Something tells we will be eating good all year long. If not, there is always next year. Ha!

 

[splattered]

Happy New Year!

An interesting little look back at the OG Xbox launch titles.

Remembering the Original Xbox's Launch Titles

Microsoft's debut Xbox console was a surprise hit upon its 2001 launch, and its great success is due in large part to its impressive launch line-up.

First two games I had for it were Madden and Arctic Thunder.

 

[TuFaN]

Dunno if I am allowed to talk about emulation in here but I considered getting a Series S for emulation purposes recently

There's a whole thread for it. You can talk about emulators but not piracy.

Mine were Halo, Project Gotham Racing and Munchs Odysee.

That is a more impressive set. My console and first two games were gifts, though Madden is probably my most played game of all time anyway.

 

[NeverYouMind]

I recollect my friend getting his console bundled with Jet Set Radio Future and Grabbed by the Ghoulies. Never had one myself.

I would really enjoy acquiring a rerelease of Jet Set Radio Future for posterity. Fortunately, Grabbed by the Ghoulies is included in Rare Replay.

 

[eastcoastkody]

never had the OG Xbox. but i played a ton of Fusion Frenzy, Dead or Alive, and NFL Fever on a friends xbox

 

[SegaManAU]

Is anyone in Australia here playing Sea of Thieves? I'd love to play it, total n00b here. Xbox - SegaManAU - Add me!

 

[Forsythia]

Planescape: Torment / Icewind Dale is finally on sale. Has this even been on sale before?

 

[Topher]

I've spent 7 hours playing Tinykin since yesterday. I can't stop.

It’s been more than 2 years since Microsoft released the Xbox Series X/S, and while a couple of compelling exclusives like Halo Infinite have graced the platform - it continues to in comparison to Sony’s first-party output this generation.

2023 is undoubtedly going to be a crucial year for Xbox Series X/S, and hopefully - it will finally end the first-party drought that fans have been complaining about for so long now. To that effect, here are 14 upcoming Xbox Series X/S games for 2023 and beyond.

 

[Naked Lunch]

Awesome news.
The rest of the Psikyo collection released last summer - and on the Psikyo website these were stuck in 'coming soon for xbox' for months. I thought these final titles were never coming out - and months later, here we are - the Psikyo collection is complete on xbox.
Zero Gunner 2 and Dragon Blaze are great games.

 

[Topher]

Tinykin is the king of "Just going to do one more thing" games. Next thing you know its fucking 2am the alarm is going to go off in four hours. I blame Banjo64

Fuck this game. I hate it. Never going to play it again........after I do one more thing...

 

[anthony2690]

I need to buy Dragon Blaze and Graze Counter GM, but first my cheap ass is saving up the 10k more rewards points I need to get street fighter 6 ultimate edition preorder

I should get my 100 week 2500 point bonus next week too

 

[SportsFan581]

Probably means absolutely nothing but:

Starfield Release Date Has Changed on Steam

The release date for Bethesda's upcoming space RPG Starfield gets updated, which leaves the launch window for the game still up in the air.

About gaze counter the publisher says that there a lot of support by the xbox userbase

Great stuff, I hope City Connection sees this and considers giving us the cave & cotton ports that are currently not on Xbox.

Awesome to hear. I really hope more shmups pop up on the platform - no sense to skip out.
If you preorder Graze Counter, you get a small discount on xbox.
I think the game is due out by the end of the week

I hope this gets a release, its fucking gorgeous

^ Starfield should give them a lot of options for a custom console.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

I have a Series X but I’d buy that sadly. Never to open.

Edit: top / first one obvs

I actually forget about that, really looking forward to seeing more Redfall & Forza Motorsport.

Wonder if we see FH5 second expansion or like you said more game pass additions

 

[PuffyCan]

Dont't expect anything more than what was annonced :

 

[anthony2690]

Apparently Hi Fi Rush might be announced, I think this is the person that reveals ps+ additions a day or so early sometimes.

 

[Naked Lunch]

Ikaruga got an update on Series X yesterday.
Wonder what that was all about - unless a change to the bc emulator or something?

 

[Naked Lunch]

Xbox is off to a fine 2023 start for Japanese gaming.
Monster Hunter, Personas, finishing off Psikyo's shmup collection, Hi Fi, Graze Counter, Raiden IV, the upcoming Metal Black.

 

[PuffyCan]

2023 and beyond is looking really good, hopefully 2022 was the last time which such a small offering

Don't really know where to share but wanted to share anyway.

I bought a series s in december, mainly for guests to play and just to have a console in the living room. I also got 3 years of GPU. As you know, GPU comes with the $5/month EA Play subscription as well.

I haven't been part of the xbox ecosystem since 2013? I had an old EA/Origin account linked to my gamertag. It had been deactivated due to inactivity. There is absolutely zero way of disconnecting your EA account link with your gamertag if it's been deactivated/ laid dormant for so long.

Took almost 2 months but EA finally unlinked my account, so pretty excited about messin around on the xbox as this initially killed my hype in december. One of my main reasons for this was to play UFC 4 and Fight Night Champion online.

Congratz. I recently changed the account I had linked as well, somehow the Xbox account got linked to some EA account I didn't really have access to (didn't have access to the email anymore), that was a PITA to be sure so I hear you.

The EA play is such a nice perk if you enjoy some of the sports games.

I followed some advice in a thread suggesting to contact their legal department and that did the trick pretty much. There was a hiccup, they said they sent a code to my gamertag and al I had to do was give them that code and they would remove it. They never sent a code. I emailed them twice more, once after not receiving the code and once, 1 week later. I then got a code the following day.
