@UndyingInsurgent95 was waiting for your summoning, the local focus home expert.
How do you feel on playing this solo vs co-op? Big difference? Proper scaling in co-op? Shared loot?
What would you recommend?
@Spider-Kev fairly certain you can just use a paypal now because I don't have a cc and I did get to claim a 3 month apple trial. Also actually lots of content on it now, a lot of it great as well.
@UndyingInsurgent95 yh I've known about that since early january, crazy the official price still hasn't dropped. They still tryna scam us with these digital 'sales' 😭 Thx for letting me know though ❤️
Boot it, Infinite was ass and the majority says that it just followed suit on the other 343 games so why bother.
Hell they apparently couldn't even do right by the tv series so they obviously lack the respect needed for the source material.
@OldGamer999 one has to wonder what the game would actually look like in a non godforsaken aspect ratio and 60fps eh Although I will say I luckily didn't find the 30fps to be too grating.
@StonyKL ugh I wish we had more experiences like Everybody's Gone to the Rapture and What Remains of Edith Finch. ***** love those games. Hellblade 2 with all respects is quite inferior.
Booted it up yesterday but couldn't even find a match, will say the UI is ***** ugly, reminds me of a mobile game. Haven't seen any gameplay yet ofcourse but as it is I can't believe Heartlands died for this.
@Fenbops yhhh exactly my man, no clue why people go as far as calling it a glorified tech demo either, it has genuinely cool set pieces, cool variety of guns and moderately hard collectibles to find. Even got the plat for it.
I think it was google who bought em up for the now canned stadia? ***** waste man
Ryse was the exact same 😭
I never bothered with it because of all the bad press surrounding most xbox releases (bit similar to when I finally got around to Quantum Break).
But my gosh Crytek is seriously underrated for just making fun games.
We lowkey need a Ryse 2 as a companion piece for Ridley Scott's Gladiator 2 👀
@BRT15 nah I thought Order 1886 was frickin amazing, granted I bought it for sth like a fiver way later, and I get why people felt like they got scammed initially lol At least I guess we can all agree xbox done did it again
@BIG3 yh it's baffling to me how they don't market it. A friend sent me that tweet of theirs where they mentioned starting the pr train but there have been so many chances for them to promote it and I haven't caught any of them. Classic xbox I guess
@OldGamer999 can't get over the fact they're called The Initiative as well 😂 Gonna be 6 years old come June, if they don't show anything during the showcase I don't know what to say
@Vilimeno I wanna say it's normally around 4pm gmt so should be 5 yours but gamepass be deviating recently so who knows, worth checking in around that time though.
@StylesT how'd you like ronin?
Dunno if you guys do this frequently but this is a good companion piece for the regular sales articles. Given that a lot of people are mainly looking for lowest ever prices.
Makes sense, fortnite and rocket league initially came to mind. I do be playing lots of rl. Although I thought the newer fifa&cod games would be able to even the odds, at least pulling in the other yearly sports games I figured they might be able to even the odds alas.
@AlienigenX I had such a good time playing dante's inferno a few years ago and I generally don't even like hack and slash games. Still wish they'd made a sequel on dante's purgatory or sth, alas.
Evil West is co-op btw for those interested, very underappreciated feature that doesn't get the highlight it should. Granted, you play the same character and only the host carries progress iirc so not the best co-op in the scene but def recommend if anyone wants to play with a friend.
