@Gremio108 I'm not going to lie - I'm nowhere near finishing the game but I have no clue how anybody who has even the slightest affection for this franchise could have anything but a brilliant time playing it. Obviously I'm a lifelong "Indy" stan so consider me biased but even as a generic adventure game I'd be hard pushed to score it as low as a 6 - maybe it goes off the rails later on?
@colonelkilgore I hate that weird anxiety of introducing someone to something that you have an affection for and thinking they’re hating every minute of this 😂 glad it has landed for her mate.
@LN78 I also adore Robocop but I’m being overly stubborn on price, I really should just get it bought.

@LN78 Appreciate your thoughts. I thought Robocop was great, too, despite its technical hiccups, of which there were many! It's easy to forgive those things, though, when you can really feel the love for the source material and it's not a cynical cash grab piece of crap. I'm eager to see what Teyon make next.
@Bob_Salat Robocop is really good. You can tell it was a labour of love for Teyon and the respect for the source material is very high. Bosses can be a bit cheap, some difficulty spikes, and the game is technically rough. Given your adoration for the IP, if you see it for half off or less, I think you'll be happy.
@LN78 Maybe it's an age/generational thing. I don't know how old the reviewer was, but someone who has discovered Indy through streaming, in amongst the Star Wars and Marvel onslaught, may not have the same affection we have for it. I don't know. Regardless, you've put the game firmly on my radar so cheers!
@Bob_Salat We've gone down very similar routes for our Christmas profile pics. Great minds think alike
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
@Gremio108 I thought the exact same thing. If you don't grow up with the movies and cultural impact, you can be aware of the importance of it, but you don't have the nostalgia. And as we all know, nostalgia is a helluva drug. I'm not saying nostalgia papers over the cracks, but you'd be reviewing it from a different perspective. At that point it's just a game based on a famous IP that does what it does well enough, but doesn't bring anything new to the table. And reviewers can often fall into a trap of looking for something the vast majority of the general public aren't.
Who knows, eh. It's just unfortunate that so many people read reviews as gospel. I find them an interesting read, no more and no less. And no more influential than the next person.
@PorkChopExpress Yeah, I read a review of a game, enjoy it for what it is (whether positive or negative) and then get on with my life. I struggle to understand those who attach any further significance to it.
I remember watching Temple of Doom one christmas at my grandparents. It was a big thing because I think it was the terrestrial TV premiere. It was pretty magic, and I don't think it would've had the same effect on me if I'd chosen it from an endless selection of films
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
@PorkChopExpress Absolutely sold on that mate, nice one. Ridiculous I haven’t purchased thus far.
@Gremio108 Discernible class, obviously 😉 it is at this time of year I start to wonder where sailors can be found and if I’ll get some Chi You Men for Christmas.

I’m currently immersed in Stalker 2 on the Series X. The story is starting to ramp up, and I’ve completed all side quests available up to this point. I’m really curious to see how the game evolves over the course of the campaign, such as new enemy times and more factions, and how my choices impact the game. I’m absolutely in love with Stalker 2.
@LtSarge I’ve only experienced one technical issue, or bug, rather, but it’s pretty insignificant. Sometimes when I die or reload a save, my gun isn’t shown in my hands although I have it equipped. It appears in about one second, so it’s not a big deal at all. Other than that, the game isn’t buggy at all for me. I think all the recent patches held tremendously. As for time played, I’d say 30 hours.
@LtSarge@Kraven the biggest issue that I’ve heard about is A-Life 2.0 (the evolving world-progression that fans of the original loved) simply isn’t working whatsoever in the sequel… like at all. The devs are currently trying to work out why and resolve in a future patch.
@colonelkilgore Yeah, that’s the biggest issue I’ve seen people talk about. What is crazy is that the game as it is now is incredible, so I can only imagine how much better it is once A-Life 2.0 is implemented and working properly.
@Kraven yeah that does bode well for sure. I just picked up the original trilogy the other day… don’t know if I’ll play all three before I play 2 but I’ll definitely play the original first, so I’ll get to sample A-Life before I play the sequel and then hopefully it’ll be fixed for 2.0 when I eventually get to that 🤞
@Kraven@colonelkilgore It's good to hear that the game plays better now and might get even better in the future. I've been holding off on playing it until the issues have been ironed out.
It's unfortunate that a lot of Xbox releases haven't stuck the landing (at least initially in some cases) but I'm glad Stalker 2 is a good experience now and with Indiana Jones releasing tomorrow, there are some great new releases to be enjoyed on Game Pass.
