Re: Need For Speed Unbound Brings Stylized Street Racing To Xbox This December

"Express Yourself to the Full Extent of Your Abilities – Go to meet-ups and show off your style with a host of items from the world’s latest fashions, including exclusive gear. "

WTF does this have to do with racing?! I love the visuals, but it's the same damn Urban Street racer/homies/hip-hop infused crap that's never appealed to me.

Going for the whole Fortnite vibe/aesthetic really hurt it. The game has a massive identity crisis going on, not knowing what it wants to be or who its' target audience is. They saw the backlash during the reveal, and they basically said "lawl f you guys, we're not backing down". Kinda like when EA told you "If you don't like BF5, don't buy it". And many listened.

Im only gonna get it when it's like $10-20 at most.

And as an aside, If you're really feeling jaded like me, check out some indies or some smaller budget/less prominent games, like Stray, Axiom Verge, A Plague Tale, etc.. I've been having way more fun recently with this type of stuff.

Re: Reaction: GoldenEye Is Finally Coming To Xbox, But It's A Rare Whiffed Shot For 007

Where did it say the Switch version lacked local multiplayer? I haven't read that anywhere.

I'm very disappointed that it's relegated to essentially a rental-only option (on NSO) , you cant buy it. It's the same issue I have with stuff on GP; at least it's assumed one can buy the Xbox port, or at least buy it via Rare Replay. They really have left a lot of details unclear here for both ports. πŸ€”

@BBB if you didn't play it back in the day then of course you wouldn't have the same experience and memories as someone like me who did. Like, duh... πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ However, nothing would stop you from trying the re-release, if it ever does come out. Or you can do what I did and download the ROM of the leaked XBLA version. I did in early 2021 and had an absolutely fantastic time with it yet again.

GoldenEye is a masterclass in how to adapt a film to a game faithfully, while taking just enough liberties so as to flesh out the adventure a bit more.
It's also excels in its mission design, adding additional objectives to higher difficulty levels encouraging multiple playthroughs, plus allowing for most levels to be approached in multiple ways. Not to mention the challenge of unlocking all the level cheats as a bonus. It's a masterpiece, and blows away any crappy COD or most other modern FPS titles as a whole package. Look at Activision's 007 Legends or Quantum of Solace by comparison. They're terrible, and the GoldenEye reimagining is just "Call of Bond". 😫

@Banjo- Yeah from what I've seen, the game benefits from the series X performance in general. I'm generally not super hardcore nit-picky about missing visual effects.
Me too! Shattered Memories was my first SH game, and I freaking loved it.

@skaarj217 I grabbed SH: Homecoming while it's on sale! πŸ˜
