We had Thanksgiving lunch at work on monday, had some food catered but people were also encouraged to bring stuff—now I’m pretty picky, but it seems like Thanksgiving food is really particular to what you’ve grown up with, like what stuffing people are used to is very different and most of it I would not try. Luckily…

Nails him accurately, except for his face and voice.

Honestly, the campaign is not very good, the initial concept of playing an imperial is good, but they quickly and easily decide to change sides, and the rebels accept them super quick as well. The gameplay is often super simple (to the point where you wonder why you’re going through the trouble).

I think having cooperative game modes would help, they could do a lot with that and if you have something that gives you an advantage then it’s not a bad thing because it benefits everyone you play with. Mass Effect 3 had loot boxes but the multiplayer was cooperative.

This isn’t mentioned clear enough in relation to the issues with BF2, but it’s absurd that they restrict how much credits you earn from Arcade—I can understand restrictions on custom games, since you can try to set things up so that it’s easy and fast for you, but they have missions there that are essentially a…

The cutscenes are pre-recorded, I’m guessing the stuttering in cutscenes is due to loading the next level.

I am voting with my wallet, I’m not paying for something I don’t want. If people don’t pay for loot crates then they’ll know that people don’t want to pay for that.

I’m OK with the game selling well, but I hope the loot crates sell poorly so that they realize people don’t want that feature. You can play the game and enjoy it while not supporting the part that you don’t.

Yeah, the story in Odyssey is not exactly strong

Same thing happened with me, it felt very weird that you could only climb designated things, and they also used invisible walls on areas where you should be able to jump over something. I also hated the campfire saving, since in Zelda you can save anywhere but in Horizon you can only save at campfires. The big thing…

I actually expect the game to sell a bit lower than EA’s expectations, I think a lot of it depends on people’s desire to play the game and most people probably got their Star Wars/Battlefront fix with the first game and won’t feel as compelled to buy it since they’ve played the last one. This time around it’s not the…

I agree, I was very disappointed with the game, the character creation tool in particular, it’s very strange, like there’s preset colors but they’re not sorted together so it’s just a random set of colors and the color you choose doesn’t actually look like that color when applied to the character. I was sad that for a…

I can’t wait for them to screw up their next project by switching to Frostbite

Fahey, please stop trying to use screenshots to illustrate HDR—it does nothing, if the image file is not HDR and it’s not being viewed on an HDR display then it won’t show HDR at all, it will be absolutely meaningless, like trying to view a color image on a black and white TV.

The S supports Atmos, there’s not any Xbox games that use it, but for movies you have to enable the audio passthrough in the Blu-Ray settings, so it’ll just send the raw audio data to your audio receiver, after that you can enable the Dolby Atmos audio in your audio settings.

Honestly, Andromeda is not good, the story is really really poor, along with the characters, the only thing that’s good about it is that the environments look good and the combat is pretty good. Sure, the combat isn’t as great in the first game, but it more than makes up for it in all other areas.

You’re wrong about frozen pizza—I add a bit to mine, garlic powder/onion powder plus some extra pepperoni and it makes it taste so good. I use the Red Baron thin crust cheese pizza and get a pack of pepperoni to put on there, it’s a bit better that way than the actual pepperoni. Sure it takes some extra time, but it…

I’ve had it happen where games that I preorder close to release don’t make it to deliver on release day, but everything else I’ve preordered long before has arrived on time. I think what happens is that they have their preliminary stock order and they get some in a day or two after release as well but they still put…

Now this is podracing

Fahey—your HDR screenshots don’t do anything—when you take a screenshot it’s not getting saved in an HDR format, and people would need an HDR display to appreciate them, so all it looks like to anyone is just a blown out screenshot.
