I played the first game and this back-to-back and I enjoyed the first game a lot more. The combat was better, the voices had meaningful things to say and didn't narrate every action all the time and the story had a satisfying conclusion. Second game had worse combat, constant voices and one of the worst, most unsatisfying endings I have ever seen in a video game. This was one of Xbox's big releases of the year and was supposed to restore a lot of faith in its fan base, but what we got was a big-budget 5 hour walking simulator. With a company as big as Xbox and this being a big-deal Xbox exclusive from a first party studio, it just can't be a 5 hour walking sim... it just can't be.
Always had Sony consoles since the PS1, but also wondered about the Xbox exclusives like Halo and Gears. My friend lent me his Xbox 360 once and I played all the Gears games and Halo 4 and damn I was absolutely blown away! Since then I've bought both consoles each generation 😅
Xbox looking to it's backwards compatibility efforts to save the console (again). It was the best thing about the Xbox One and if they can add a lot more to the Series X it'll be a nice boost. Now they just need to make emulators official so that the Series X can become the ultimate backwards compatible emulation machine!
The art I've seen so far looks so slick and given how absolutely sublime Inside was, I'm very keen to see more of this game. These guys are just in a league of their own 🙌🏼
I listed quite a few games from the latest sale, only to find that my wishlist had vanished (mini heart-attack) 😭 I hope the new additions are there when it's fixed. $3 trillion company...
I sadly watched the whole of season 1 and yea, it sucked, but there were some real Halo moments though that made me think "damn that's spot-on", if only for about 5% of the time. But MC removing his helmet? Complete blasphemy! I mean look how well a helmet-only character worked in all 3 seasons of the Mandalorian. That dude had his helmet on 97% of the time and it worked. And they could've used the OG voice actor as well FFS. Damn shame..
The game is already running very close to 4k with a rock solid 60fps on Series X. How much better are they really gonna make it? The Cyberpunk upgrade was garbage 💩

Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Still Wakes The Deep On Xbox Game Pass?
Great game. Short and sweet. Dripping with atmosphere and superb voice acting. Not as scary as I'd hoped, but still a good time 👍🏻

Re: Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons Is Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (May 14)
Feels odd to see this added to Gamepass now, so soon after the remake's release. Would have preferred the remake on Gamepass instead.

@KillerBoy Epic fail not being 60fps, when other developers were doing it
Re: Review: Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League - Rocksteady's Looter Shooter Is A Bit Of A Banger, Actually
@GhanaViking Agreed. It's blasphemous and disrespectful. WB thinking that the fans of the Arkham Batman don't exist anymore.
