NHL 23 Xbox Series X Review – Puck Rules - The Koalition

Adam Vale of The Koalition writes: In 1994, I would wake up, stare at my Mark Messier poster, and say This is the year! Sure enough, it was and the New York Rangers won the Stanley Cup. Watching hockey was a big part of my youth and I mostly preferred playing Hockey video games versus actually playing on ice (I played LW). So, when NHL 22 Rewind edition was released, all the good feels came back from my younger days since that edition also included NHL 94 rewind.

The early month of GP looks meh to me.

Crows90386d ago

loop hero has had great reception

aconnellan385d ago

@jerome

So if it’s on GP too close to release it hurts the devs, but 12 months is too old? When should games get added?

Neonridr385d ago

@jeromeface - if you've never played the game, does it matter if it came out yesterday or 3 years ago?

Crows90385d ago

@jerome

Thats irrelevant. I base my preferences on what is good not what is old. Sackboy adventure is old but still a good addition to ps plus.

their lineup lately is pretty weird, they have less games than ever per update and more games leave the service

Lightning77385d ago (Edited 385d ago )

Not even remotely true....

You can keep spreading lies I suppose.

LabRat385d ago

@lightning77 it does actually seem like that. Up until this Activision Blizzard thing started getting a lot of backlash, they were adding like 6 - 8 games every 2 weeks and advertising them like crazy. Now the games seem to trickle in every few weeks, like we get 1, then a week later another, and so fourth. It has changed there is no denying that.

Lightning77385d ago

@lab this is only the first half of the month.

The second half will have Minecraft Legends Last Case Of Benedict Fox and several others. That's how its always been. You can't sit there and ignore the slew of games that hit the service sinceJanuary

So no it's lies and misinformation as I said.

LabRat385d ago (Edited 385d ago )

@Lightning77 This post has minecraft legends listed, so this is an overview of the entire month. And as I said, they have not done the every 2 week format (first half of the month/second half of the month) all of 2023. I'm sure they will have a few more than this but they have been just kind of trickling games out whenever, and not really even announcing them.

I'm not ignoring the games that have come, I play gamepass all the time, but again, it has definitely slowed down and they definitely changed the format.

jeromeface385d ago

I love how defensive people get when you criticize facts about gamepass.

IamTylerDurden1385d ago (Edited 385d ago )

It was dry prior to Atomic Heart. Particularly after the MH DLC which personally meant nothing to me. There was a period where newly added games featured mostly Mortal Shell and Metal Hellsinger which were both old GP releases. Even from fall to early 2023 was overrated imo. Games like Scorn and High on Life did not meet the hype and were panned critically and P5 and MH were games that released on PS+ yrs ago or DLC to a game that was on Plus yrs ago. In truth GP was disappointing to me for a while. Particularly considering Starfield, Stalker, Redfall were all delayed and that was the reason i resubbed last yr.

However, since Atomic Heart it has picked up. While broken, i enjoyed AH and though Wo Long wasn't as good as anticipated, it was still solid for GP day 1. Loop Hero is a nice addition and MLB as well. Not sure where Darktide is but GP has indeed been better. No interest in Minecraft and Ghostwire is on PS+ with Dualsense but i'm enjoying GP again.

AirRevenant385d ago

I have to agree with the drop in quality (but that's always subjective) -- I finally cancelled my subscription.

They've seemingly bailed on the family pc game pass that they were testing out in Ireland, that would have kept me subscribed. They don't even ask why you are cancelling when you cancel, not that they ever read that.

I might be wrong, but didn’t you say how great Ghostwire Tokyo was when it was released?

Obscure_Observer386d ago

Looking forward to play the definitive edition of Ghostwire Tokio on my SX!

shinoff2183385d ago

Isn't the same edition available on ps5

Obscure_Observer385d ago

No.

The day the game releases on Gamepass it will be getting a massive update. PS5 players will be getting it as well.

https://n4g.com/news/254090...

shinoff2183385d ago

So yea. The same edition. Same day. Lol

IamTylerDurden1385d ago

No, it lacks the Dualsense implementation. So u can argue it's an inferior edition.

I’ve been playing Ghostwire on Plus/Extra for a while now. Highly recommend.

jznrpg385d ago

It’s okish. Combat isn’t very good . Have fun with the same version that PS has but definitive for you somehow

Obscure_Observer385d ago (Edited 385d ago )

"Have fun with the same version that PS has but definitive for you somehow"

FYI:

New areas ⛩️
New missions 📖
New powers 🔥
New collectibles 😼
New enemies 👹
New roguelite mode ☠️

Definitely NOT the version that PS5 players has been playing, but whatever makes you sleep at night.

Rockstar385d ago (Edited 385d ago )

@ Obscure

When you're an xbox fanboy you've got to have something to look forward to.

RedDevils385d ago

Same shit, Insecure little girl will whine at whatever.

IamTylerDurden1385d ago

Obscure_Observer

All that new stuff....that PS5 gets at literally the same time. I understand irrational fanboy spin but you are bragging about getting the game a year later bc it will have a new patch that mind you is available to all platforms.

Like someone on XB or PS bragging bc they had to wait to play Hades simply bc by the time it hits their platform it gets a non exclusive patch. Pathetic.

It's also coming to PS+ so i guess PS gamers got to play the day 1 edition and plus subscribers will also get "the definitive edition". Btw, the deep Dualsense implementation on PS5 kinda makes THAT the definitive edition. In reality, PS got it day 1 and gets the extra bells and whistles through the superior controller. Plus, just like GP it is on plus. Just like Deathloop.

Xbox has seemingly copied the way ps plus extra and Premium are updated, game pass used to have 2 drops a month, now its only one like ps plus.

wiz7191385d ago

I like it better that way , just give me all the drops at once no point in spreading them out ..

S2Killinit385d ago

Hmm Im not sure you are correct about Plus/Extra. I downloaded three new heavy hitters last month. Does it vary?

Obscure_Observer385d ago

"Xbox has seemingly copied the way ps plus extra and Premium are updated, game pass used to have 2 drops a month, now its only one like ps plus."

Not true. Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly, The Last Case of Benedict Fox and
Homestead will also be available this month.

David Pastranek should be on that list . Boston Bruins are having a record breaking first half as a team .

INMATEofARKHAM471d ago

Yup, Matthews is the weak link and you could argue for multiple other players yo be in that spot. Pasta being one of them.
