The Xbox brand (which includes Xbox Game Studios) is a multiplatform brand, so I was very much on subject. But I did include that paragraph focussing on exclusives specifically for pedants like yourself. So maybe just read better.

It’s a tricky one. It did launch very good, although without co-op which is considered a core Halo feature. The other consideration is that they were making an attempt at a live service MP environment. But they failed to deliver on content in a timeous manner, which left the game to whither on the vine. So at launch…

Truly. Reminds me of starting Ghostwire Tokyo a couple weeks back and the default graphics option is the quality option which feels like you’re playing the game under water. It so unplayable at that option its similarly baffling they would make it the default.

Thanks for this. The game did not lay this out. So what we learned last night is that the countdown only begins once you take the treasure after destroying the heart. So we look in all the amber spots before hand to make sure one has a door. Then we initiate the countdown, loot and get out. The only thing unclear now…

God its amazing for that. The presentation of this game is unbelievable. Also side bar, the commentary thing is chefskiss.gif.

Really? I think the majority of them are so good. I love the evolution of the mainstays, and the new characters look great. Each to their own I guess.

From 2020 till now: Age of Empires 4, HiFI Rush, Pentiment, Grounded, Forza Horizon 5, Psychonauts 2, Flight Simulator, Ori & the Whisps, Gears Tactics, Gears 5, Tell Me Why, Minecraft Dungeons, Deathloop.

A banger is not the same as a blockbuster for sure, just to be clear on what I mean. Everyone can acknowledge…

This is revisionist at best. The first console entered the market as the most powerful console. A great entry, and allowed them an amazing foothold into the industry. If it was just okay, there would have been no 360. The 360 was also fantastic hardware. The modularity to keep base costs down was amazing foresight on…

Oh I can definitely seeing it not being for everyone. That’s totally fair. If you see my reply to MeowRufflet, you’ll see I get a lot of juice out of it. But yeah, depending on your taste profile in games, or even just your time, its definitely not for everyone. Especially not in the multiyear bulk purchases way I do…

Work hard play hard? And also don’t watch many shows/movies. Include things like any DLC that is 5+ hours as a count, and Seasons of any online game where I might spend between 20-40 hours playing are also a single count. The lists don’t include games I quit, no matter how many hours I put into them. So it still feels…

I was referring to this:

Braindead response. I’m just bringing a balanced perspective. If you read me saying “its not the best, but objectively it’s still pretty good” as shilling then practically everyone you’ve ever met must be a shill of something.

And no is claiming they have... well FH5 definitely had its moment. Personally as someone with a varied taste in games, as much as I am looking forward to buying a PS5 whenever the slim model is released, Xbox games have provided me with plenty of entertainment. Terrible shit is in the butthole of the beholder. If…

Just wanna say to point 1, you don’t have to flee the nests. The way it words it kind of makes it seem that way. But actually you just loot to the very last second and then it pops you out of the nest when you’re done.

Ya’ll are wild. One mid game comes out and you forget the string of bangers they’ve had. They for sure have a consistency problem, but a couple bad games don’t nullify the good ones their studios have put out.

Safe to say you have not only not played Deathloop or Redfall, you have only read headlines about these games. Because they are not even close to the titles you compared them to in scope, genre, or design.

Yeah the world they have designed is really well realised. The stylised nature of it, the little interconnected threads to Dishonoured. I really want to love this game. I just wish they had let the single player part of the game be its own thing, with saves and all. Instead of it being this thing you definitely can…

Playing on XSX, my first hour was terrible. Game felt so sluggish to control. I wasn’t enjoying it. Changed the sensitivity to controller 3.75 and and input response to low significantly changed how the game felt. Then I started playing it co-op with a friend just to see and that has been fun. I don’t think this game…

Because PCs are overly expensive in most of the world to get the same performance. And if you actually go crunch the numbers, they put out a lot of console exclusives, for most of the gen only a couple games behind Sony at any point. The only difference is their games appeal to a slightly wider taste, so you don’t get…

Literally MS are giving you what you want on the platform you want it, and then you are complaining about it. Take the W.
