Granted I never buy DLC, this is all just cars and cosmetics right? The same price for Starfield's early access at least netted you an expansion as well.
Personally I don't like it at all. Players feel a tad unresponsive at times, and I can't score a goal to save my life. Won about half of my matches but how I had to win them is absurd. Wish I could just swap buttons as well, the new rb and lb + rb seriously mess me up lol.
@tallythwack I want to see a type of documentary that Double Fine did for Psychonauts for the other xbox studios. Wonder what they're actually doing with what's probably a pretty sizeable budget already 😭😂
@Jaxx420 I'd like to recommend Sekiro, and go for Lies of P after if you dig the parry heavy combat system. I very much doubt they're not planning on fine tuning the perfect guard in Lies of P even within a few days because there have been complaints about it all around. But even if they do I think it's still going to be marginally harder than Sekiro based on the 20~ hours I've played so far. Sekiro's been on the market for years, there are guides galore. The game's been in its most playable state for a while. Aesthetic wise though I do think Lies of P's steampunk world is better than Sekiro's. Goodluck either way and don't forget to have fun G
@themcnoisy was thinking the same thing lol, got a good chunk out of Lies of P but I've only had one session with Payday and I haven't even played Party Animals. Besides, the latter two have been getting stick for its (non-existent) mp. Would've been better off publishing it next weekend instead.
I wish the shooter mechanics were better, feels so light. Suppose if you spend enough points along the way it'll change but for now they got the robbery part on lock. It's just the remainder that could be better.
Awesome news, the f2p division game is one thing but a new full fledged division game is such a great excuse for me to play with some of my friends again 😭
(Beside the fact that the games are grossly underrated and one of the more technically impressive games out there)
I mean, I recently finally played Death of the Outsider.
And I've played Dishonored 1 and 2.
I've played Deathloop as well and it made a lot of sense, being set in the same universe as well.
Redfall did indeed do badly to the point they might just go back to a trusted IP.
But I personally don't see how D3 would work story wise, just give me another spin-off game like Deathloop set in the same world and I'm happy.
Could do sth with Pandyssia though, given that it's uncharted territory. But I don't see how they can do a classic linear Dishonored in that vast of a landmass. Unless it's gonna be one of those next gen open world outings after multiple linear games in the series like we have seen before (gow & gow).
@clvr bro was so discontented he didn't even bother with the acronym 😂
@VisitingComet1 check if your username isn't a duplicate.
I had it pop up but could barely see it.
And try it on your phone instead of the console.
@Kaloudz I got one or two friends I play it with.
They inv others as well so we're mostly at just the one bot, I just did a few matches and the bot mostly runs along but you can get him to do certain things so it's not all that bad.
Well I hope you like it man. Would seem nice to get people from the forum together but if you only play when the peasants go to bed I highly doubt we'll ever meet because that's around the time I stop haha
@Kaloudz I had the exact same thought when I booted up Lies of P today but it's been 'smooth' sailing so far. Finally managed to beat Fuoco, in hindsight should not have been so hard. You playing this with randoms or do you have a party?
I like it a lot, truly a spiritual bloodborne successor.
And it actually plays like a nice blend of BB and Sekiro.
Did the first three or so boss fights yesterday.
Plays well, looks well, optimized very well, soundtrack's great as well.
And all this from a korean dev.
Might not get to the end however because it's a bit too parry heavy for my tastes.
Also, weird thing is they same to have korean subs embedded for boss fights.
@Kaloudz lol yh I should probably buy FFXVI already. Glad to remind you of the rewards broski 🫡 What did you think of crisis core? I tried ff7r but couldn't get into it, I did think it looked nice though
@UndyingInsurgent95 no I doubt I'm buying anything new. Tons of releases I'm interested in but none I desperately want to buy day one. Especially Alan Wake 2, oh how I wish it had a physical release 😮💨 Might go for some games released earlier in the year, One Piece Odyssey, Forspoken, FFXVI, Remnant 2, Dead Island 2 or even your Atlas Fallen if the sales are good. But even then, gamepass finally has a good influx of games so it'll probably tie me over for the rest of the year anyhow.
@UndyingInsurgent95 ayyy I don't believe I've ever caught one of your 'reviews' lol, I'll be keeping an eye out when Banishers releases then 👀
You getting that on day one as well?
@BBB enjoy G, it looks like quality. Hope it turns out well, kinda want a live service/looter-shooter and I think it fits the bill @GuyinPA75 man's lost the plot
I hope I can get lost in Jusant the same way I did in Sable (despite its absolutely abhorrent performance), looks very pleasing to the eye in similar ways.
He's been saying this for years dawg, what future is he even talking about at this point, evil skynet future, total recall future, Akira future?!?! 😂 I do wonder if we'll get a gamepass drop given how stacked the month already is, I've been praying for Tales of Arise for a while now and it would actually make sense now given the expansion, but not that big of a miss if they don't.
@Kaloudz whatchu talking about, you got a whole ass conversation on your destiny 1 flawless raider post 😭😂
But yh I guess it's different for newer posts, instead of looking back at nearly a decade ago.
Most my rare achievements are unlocked simply because not a lot of people bother with side content etc... so I see it less as a rarity and more of a scarcity. If that makes sense?
Yh that makes a lot of sense, I've seen it mentioned before throughout the years. I've spoken to trophy hunters about it before, hence why trueachievement have their own score system and formulas for cheevs and whatnot which iirc was based on their actual difficulty. Worth checking out if you haven't. Also I suppose if you remove the rare cheevs on xbox, the whole thing might become a bit barebones 😭 On playstation you at least have bronze/silver/gold/plat. Now whether you're against or for it, there's at least more to it in that way. Maybe you've acquired some of my man Indy Jones tendencies and would like to see rare achievements in a museum instead 👀
@Kaloudz why? I feel like they could play a bit with the margins to denote what is and is not a rare cheev and I could be wrong because I've not gotten a cheev in a while but the different sound effect, if any, is pretty nice. I would like to know more about rare cheevs though, I completely forgot about this side of gaming for a while now that you mention it. Does a 'rare' achievement ever lose its rare status? Or does a none rare achievement become rare after a while? I'm no trophy hunter so I wouldn't know.
@NeutronBomb no way 😂😂 I just watched the df direct bit on it, crazy eurogamer randomly lied about that in the article, reckon it might be a bit of miscommunication between eurogamer and bethesda US. Thanks for letting me know, off to Eurogamer now haha
@Tomato_Goose yhh that's true. And I'm not complaining, the more people play Control the better, one of gaming's very best experiences. ***** Remedy and Epic for not doing a physical release for Alan Wake 2 though 😤
@Cashews thank you for the detailed reply, and that does make a whole lot of sense.
The soundtrack is a definite standout, especially the boss fight soundtracks.
I enjoy the linearity as well, kinda wish Tunic was more streamlined.
@Cashews not tryna flame you or anything but what do you like about it so much? Feel like I'm missing sth here
(I've played it for 13~ hours but don't think I'll continue)

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 23-24)
@Jaxx420 I'd like to recommend Sekiro, and go for Lies of P after if you dig the parry heavy combat system.
