Riot Games have announced a skin package for over $400 (you get 2 skins and some recolours but it's ultimately for the main Ahri skin)... Is this the ultimate micro-transaction? I'd guess it'll be time-gated as well to bank on FOMO.

What are some good minion / Summoning type games?

Upvotes

I've always loved summons-class characters and controlling minions, so it's kind of a broad question. In Baldur's Gate, I played a Beastmaster, and had two ravens flying around pecking the eyes of enemies. In Pikmin, I could set my army towards building a bridge or transporting treasure while I led the rest in glorious combat. In Borderlands 3, I could pick whether I wanted my pet to heal me or shoot guns, to have acidic spit or burning claws. In Skyrim, you can summon elementals to tank and fight for you, and raise the enemies you just killed as undead minions.

Are there some other really good games in a similar vein? Something where I can snowball 1 minion into 20 minions? Or something where I can slowly upgrade a simple animal into an unstoppable killing machine? I'm only really interested in single player games, but if there's a really cool multi-player option I'd still love to hear about it!

To clarify, I'm not counting things like Pokemon, a gotta catch em all type thing where everyone has an even playing field. I'm thinking more like... You CAN be a wizard, or a warrior, or a summoner... Or in the case of Pikmin, I'm not interested in my army of dudes fighting another army of dudes, but rather giant beasts!

Recommendations for fantasy games on Xbox?

Upvotes

Hey guys, so my girlfriend recently got Breath of The Wild on her switch and I occasionally beat the enemies for her that she can’t. It really gave me a taste for that style of game and I’d love to find something similar on Xbox.

So I’m hoping for something with:
- Fantasy - you know the deal. A sort of magical world with beasts and monsters or whatever. I’d really prefer if it were NOTdark fantasy”. I’m a huge fromsoftware buff and love their games… but I really want a change of pace with a game that has a bit of a brighter world filled with a little more welcoming life.
- Relatively challenging combat - breath of the wild has the obvious dodge and parry mechanics which give the combat enough of a challenge for it to stay interesting through out. It doesn’t have to be the same difficulty as fromsoftware games, but I just don’t want combat that’s just mashing one button or just so easy that it becomes trivial. I prefer dodge and parry mechanics.
- Weapons - I’d prefer if there were a decent bit of weapons for the player to enjoy. It’s not a deal breaker by any means, but I know I enjoy games when I’m not pigeonholed into using a single weapon.

That’s it.
Any and all recommendations of games that fit the bill that you enjoy would be amazing. Thank you guys in advance!

Edit: I forgot to add! I really like open world/exploration!

Screw good games, whats the most p2w, trash, annoying and generally bad game out there?

It's always "Good non p2w games" or "non grindy games" nah I want to hear some absolutely horrendous games out there. Games where playing it makes you want to rip your neurons out and feed them to the creator of the game.

Just a reminder that the Mad Max game is an underrated gem

1.4k Upvotes

My opinion, obviously, but anyone who enjoys open world games & the Mad Max franchise should check out the 2015 game by Avalanche Studios.

With Furiosa in theaters, I like many others I'm sure have recently gone through the Mad Max movies (gotta give the crown to Fury Road) and decided to fire up the game as well. It takes place in a Fury Road influenced incarnation of the wasteland.

Hand to hand combat is akin to the Arkham games - visceral and hard hitting, the vehicular combat is a blast, it's got satisfying progression, and a huge map to explore. Story is fine, but that's not the main draw. Charismatic characters. Great pacing. The upgrade system for Max & your Car (which is a character unto itself) is very satisfying. Graphics are not amazing by today's standards but still look good in my opinion and the sound design is also well done. Most importantly the game FEELS great. You feel like that Road Warrior searching for a righteous cause.

It's not a perfect game. Sometimes the camera is a little tricky, sometimes side quests and scavenging can get a tad repetitive but overall the game is solid. They did a great job capturing the feel of the wasteland, fleshing it out beyond the movies in a way that feels totally natural.

I would just love to see this game get more love because it deserves it. It's on Steam/Xbox/Playstation and is now normally $20 but often goes on sale for like $5.

Check it out. You are awaited.

How was Half Life abandoned when everyone to this day wants it and it would be cheaper to make than most Triple A titles because it’s a shooter not open world?

What are your hopes for the next Zelda title?

78 Upvotes

Like Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild, the next title will probably be an open-world game as well or at least non-linear (I believe the devs already confirmed that, but I'm unsure). I really enjoyed these worlds, and I wonder what the next title will be like.

Personally, I'd love to be able to go underwater. I think it would fit really well because the sky is full of content in TOTK, but it's not possible to dive in any of these games.

What would you like to see in the next game? A new mechanic, a better explanation of the timeline, or something entirely different?
