I wonder if this version comes with fixed looking acceleration. Still busted on PS5 as far as I know.

I'm just glad this isn't a GP article.....

@GuyinPA75 People Can Fly have made some real gems. It's a shame they've never had a game just explode and earn them a healthy nest egg.

@Tomato_Goose
I didn't grab Outriders until it was finished and I got it for less than a 10er brand new from Amazon. One of the funnest experiences I've had in a while. I loved it, really had a blast. I was desperate to find out how I could pay People Can Fly devs back. There wasn't an obvious bundle of DLC that I could splurge on, and I was worried that it had been long enough that I simply wasnt sure they were under the same Publisher, where any bonus might make it their way.
I sincerely wanted to reward the devs

@Fenbops The endless chorus of ' Its Activision that are doing this not Bungie, you'll see once they break from Activision........"
🤣🤣

@Sol4ris 🙄🥱 Doesn't that fanboy rationalizing get old?

I very much remember these exact same complaints around the 1st game.

@ZuneTattooGuy Yes, but as mentioned in my previous comment GP isn't free unless........
Such an inane claim to make otherwise ya

@ZuneTattooGuy
For those that put in daily rewards max work, it sort of was.

Man, to be a fly on the wall in those senior leadership meetings.........

As far as I know, none of the Pure Xbox community are in charge of multi billion dollar companies- so joyfully hopefully he's just smarter than us and has a plan????????

Have not turned on my Xbox since the end of December, not bought any 3rd party on X. I really am concerned about ecosystem investment, their business plan is a tad confusing

@EquiinoxGII Took the family on vacation last year to Poland, Austria, Prague.... Guess who I saw awesome adverts for everywhere, Nindy and PS. I don't recall a single MS decked out tram, bus or otherwise

@rustyduck I'll be honest, I've stopped buying 3rd party on Xbox just because I'm wondering if it's worth the investment.
There has been some WILD left hand turns lately, and I know the Xbox faithful like Spencer but I don't trust himwith this being my 1st Xbox..
An actual used car salesman, butters everyone up so when the hidden fees show up you are too surprised to be mad.

After falling in love with the Steam Deck, and PS Portal, I'd buy this in a heartbeat.

It makes it a lot of fun to be able to play anywhere, or enjoy it bigscreen.

For the love of pete, DON'T USE SONYS BATTERY SUPPLIER!!

@Jonnybekeww 3 was fantastic, despite me wanting rip out Jason Brodys tongue so he could never speak again.

It's a close second

Far Cry 2

For all those who didn't like Far Cry 2, well you're wrong.
You have terrible taste, cause Far Cry2 is brilliant.

I bought this for the Deck, there is a good game there but I'm not sure why it just was hard to play on such a small screen.

The UI is far and away my favorite thing, it absolutely blows PS out of the water. Also Far Cry 2, because Far Cry 2😁

So far the 1st party stuff has been just okay, but they've got some exciting stuff in the pipeline

I'm genuinely curious to see if the senior Bethesda staff have learned anything.
If they just plod along in identical fashion to Skyrim and Fallout 4 in how they approach post support, I think it will speak volumes........

@OldGamer999 Nintendo is gonna Nintendo, they are far too stubborn/protective of their brand(wii u disaster made that obvious- don't think it ever went on sale). I think Sony will further embrace PC quicker. It's a bizarre time in gaming for sure

@OldGamer999 As the exorbitant costs of game developing keep rising, what Xbox and Sony are doing makes sense. Honestly the alternatives are a lot less appealing.

I just enjoy watching it burn, the current Dice and Battlefield developers are an insufferable bunch.

@ParsnipHero That would be them...... and they tied that to the star powers......

@rustyduck I havnt completely lost hope in Redfall, still waiting and hoping, thanks for the tip though!

@FarmDog08 It seems like such a petty thing, but it's THE reason I can't go back. It was probably one of the worst game mechanics I've ever experienced.
I have a feeling ill need to wait for a mod, the archaic game design, the LAUGHABLE patches. They are absolutely stuck in 2009 and refuse to change.
Bethesda(including Redfall) has left me disgusted...pissed off actually

@GuyinPA75 Her sarcasm is brilliantly written, agreed she's hilarious!

@eire-shabba I figured the VA was actually Irish, cause if she's doing an accent it's even better.

As an American it has been a blast to play as Dani(Irish?), her voice actor is fantastic, seriously she is really good!

The game is just really fun

I'm an grabbing this though, the art is brilliant

@InterceptorAlpha I'm really worried as well, I just can't unsee an Outerworlds reskin, even the melee animations looked ....... way to similar.
I so badly want to be wrong

@PsBoxSwitchOwner I honestly forgot it was in Beta, and I know it's not an exact 1-1, I just think the crusade is a tad silly.

Was there this same level of interest in seeing Palworld on Playstation? This is a 2 way street.......

@STX I laughed out loud at this, that would be great😂

I can't recall Patel doing much on the communication side of things, but I am getting old. She is pretty terrible at it....... Really not doing Avowed any favors

EDIT: The combat is woefully bad, the ai didn't appear top notch either. I'm very very worried for some reason. Like this is their 3rd rebuild and let's slap a game together in 14 months, this is the vibe I'm getting

"We may even see story campaign expansions or PvE/PvP sort of additions. So many different ways this could go."

See this would be wicked, it might even be fairly easy to take Warzone updates and plug them in with AI from the campaign, heck I'd even pay for it if it was meaty enough

@Banjo- I think MS has backed themselves into a bit of a corner with GP. Development costs keep ballooning and ballooning, it's one thing when your market share can offset that and turn revenue into actual profit. MS has absorbed an insane amount of overhead with its spending sprees and they are not recouping full game sales in their ecosystem but monthly payments at 1/4th value spread over so many games. Those valuations of the companies bought change dramatically when they are no longer selling full priced games

@Kaloudz I think having a sandbox COD campaign could be pretty fun, just to mix things up. Could still have c those bombastic set piece missions baked in

I have major concerns, reservations with this game. I'm not sure if I just set my expectations too high or......I, I don't know.
Everything they've shown seems
"Off kilter"
The combat, the characters, the Ai the hammed up developer walk through.
It all appears hastily glued together

@GuyinPA75 I might have noticed that, but I thought him calling out the article for something the author didn't present was a bridge too far.

Also don't get his hatred for physical, misplaced a bit i think

@ZuneTattooGuy I could have worded that better, what I meant was with you implying that the article was somehow slandering Xbox in comparison to Sony. I think the PS and Nindy install basses are large enough to wheather the storm with physical.

Also important to note is digital game sales were only 21%- so we are talking 75% of revenue was mic4oT's and subscriptions. Which is utterly staggering

@themightyant

I think physical for the other two will be fine as well. We aren't privy to all the information, and depending on what metrics you use it can skew things a little

@ZuneTattooGuy That's a heck of a reach..... You went in with that mindset and applied it to the article.... PS regularly posts numbers on digital vs physical and it's not even close. However I think there is still a healthy profit margin for physical Nindy and Sony, even with only "30%" sales being physical and so they are keeping them around, to include higher install bases as well

@themightyant I'll have the steak and salad please, and thanks.

I was so freaking stoked for this game, but every time I think about turning it back on I can't help but think " it's not very good, so do I really want to keep playing? Eh I'll just keep waiting"

At least I supported ES6 development by paying full price for this

"Fixed flickering on Neon’s Trade Tower elevator panel."- oh, okay......

I'm not sure why that got a dedicated spot in the patch notes, but for some reason that screams the studio is so far out of touch with modern gaming to me.

It's a really bizarre inclusion

@GamingFan4Lyf " Increase the price and nothing more"- I get that point. However when the controller is implemented properly its an aewsome experience, and it really does feel proper next generation.
When I first got my Xbox X controller I was gutted, it felt and sounded "cheap". It did have a slight break in period, and I think it's decent, but it was the first controller I've ever had crap out on me, right after Black Friday too ha ha.

@HonestHick This is one of those weird quirks folks bring up between the two controller lay outs I just cant figureout. I'm 6'5" or 195.5 cm's and have pretty large hands. 1000's of hours on Dualsense and never cramped.
I really wonder if it's playing with offset sticks for years upsets the tendons? I love the Xbox controller, but it does feel a tad cheap and my 1st stopped working so I'll gladly take a revision

As a MH and CD provider at a major hospital it was such a surreal moment to play from her point of view, it will be pretty fascinating to experience this again with a "new" set of internal and external stimulus affecting her

@JokerBoy422 It figures, I finally join the Xbox community and as a physical games old person they are very publicly going and embracing all digital....
Time to go on another Game used shopping spree, to add to my backlog that'll I'll never touch!

Those screenshots are a tad suspicious, almost too "pretty".
I honestly don't know what I was expecting with this, but I never dreamed the gameplay would look so bad. I've watched the Direct video several times and the combat is so so so woefully bad. It didn't improve from the 1st reveal, which is alarming.

This is my childhood gift wrapped in Indy goodness for adult me to fawn over.

I have a great deal of faith in Machine Games to make this a lot of fun!

I'm not sure what I was expecting from Avowed, but it wasn't this. Outerworlds was really fun, but slapping in different textures and going "floaty melee" looks a tad....eh.
I have a gut feeling these" moral choices ' are going to just be the same thing Outerworlds offered.

Combat looks like a mess .....damn

@StylesT It's maddening too, I've got it for PS and have been patiently waiting and waiting and waiting for that sweet 60 before diving back in to finish.......... and dang it still waiting

I honestly didn't enjoy it like I have the others.
It wasn't bad, but the bullet system was so dumb, it was absolutely pointless.
Also the setting was pretty cliche,
Far Cry 2- Africa
Far Cry 4- Himalayas
Far Cry 5- Montana

Those were awesome playgrounds, the jungle is boring and it's been done to death
