While I voted, forcing me to choose between all these great franchises is a cruel and unusual punishment. I need at least 10 more votes available.

There’s so many on the list that I have NOT played yet, that I suspect my answers may change if I ever were to get the time to play them all.

4

I like them all but…

Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Hellblade, Halo, Dishonoured.

5

Pillars of Eternity is one of my favourites but there’s no vote option. :upside_down_face:

Gears, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Forza, Fable

Honestly though Halo would be first place, but it just shows you how important Elder Scrolls is and will be for the future of Xbox.

8

Yeah, the Bethesda games are simply a bigger deal nowadays. Halo was big af, and Infinite will be great, but I don’t think it will ever return to the glory of the past. The games will probably be better for it though, no need to carry Xbox on it’s shoulders anymore.

9

I’ve played almost every series on that list and really like most of them. It was hard to choose.

10

For me -

  • Hellblade
  • Wolfenstein
  • Dishonored
  • The Evil Within
  • Gears

Missing Rage which I would have voted for over Wolfenstein.

11

I haven’t played The Evil Within, is it that good?

12

I got Halo, Fallout, Dishonored, Outer Worlds, and Evil Within

13

Just look at this: Starfield, The Elder Scrolls VI, Fallout 5, Hellblade 2, Avowed… That is system selling stuff from the “new” Xbox studios.

Both TEW 1 and 2 are great games in my opinion but for different reasons. I love TEW 1 because it’s more survival horror with traps, puzzles, bombs, a light match mechanic and more. I love TEW 2 because visually and performance wise, it’s so much better but I wasn’t a fan of the open areas and side quests. Plus, a lot of what I mentioned in TEW 1 is gone. The story and characters are better though in TEW 2 in my opinion. I rated both an 8.5/10 for different reasons but if I had to replay one of them, it would be TEW 1.

I’m actually surprised to see Gears of War this high (almost 1st).

Also, I hope that Arkane Lyon’s next game is Dishonored 3 (or a soft reboot).

These are fantastic. The DLCs of the first game too. I hope that Tango is working on The Evil Within 3 and that it will be lead by John Johanas again.

16

Sounds like I have to give them a try. I have the first one with all the DLC, and the second one should be on Game Pass? Idk why I have overlooked them, I scare easily so probably that lol.

17

Just checked and yes, TEW 2 is on Game Pass. I never played the DLC for the first game though. Outside of maybe one or two jump scares, I don’t think either TEW games were scary. Of course, I don’t get scared from games. For RE, I can see when the jump scares are coming before they happen. lol

18

Hehe, I jump at everything so that’ll be fun. :wink:
