Doubt I'll return to it.
Played it for about 15-20 hours, but it was so generic and dated in design, that it felt like a waste of time.

Or maybe I'm just done with RPG:s overall.
Maybe it's my age (50), but I'm having a hard time getting hooked on games, like I used to. Feels like everything is just a rehash of games I played before. Same with movies now.

Can't be alone feeling this way...or am I?

"We focus on the player; we don’t focus on the device."

You don't know what focus is, Phil...

I miss the "Blades".
It was so damn quick and easy to find what you wanted.
Same with the XMB on PS3.

It's insane, that it's been 20 years, since I first connected a 360, to the Sony Bravia projection TV I had back then, and experienced HD gaming for the first time, on a console.
Remember downloading those HD trailers, which was jawdropping. And the indie/arcade games, felt so new and fresh back then.

I miss those days, when buying a next gen console, was an EPIC upgrade. And we got a complete trilogy of games, like Gears of War, during the same generation.

I expect nothing.

@Gabrie
Obsolete? And yet they sell like hotcakes and dominates the market? 😂

Not being a Windows PC, is already a huge win.
Steam OS is still the best way to bring PC gaming to the living room or handhelds.

The specs though...
I expected more.

How about just making something brand new?
So tired of these developers keep dragging along the corpses of their dead IP:s, trying to reboot with a new team, lacking the talent and quality of the original.
Just move on.

@mikeangry
What a horrible commercial...
At least SEGA knew when to quit.

Talk about first world "problems"....

And then it will be delayed until 2027, as a release title for the next gen 🤣

And then 15 years of remasters and re-releases.

I will probably have died of old age, until it's time for GTA VII 😱

I expect another delay, to summer 2028...

AI should be focused on helping research, for cure and medicines, and other similar issues. Not taking over jobs, art, music, movies and video games (well except for stuff like searching for bugs to fix and enemy AI of course).

I hope the new Gear of War game, delivers the testosterone filled old school action, of the original trilogy, instead of what we got in part 4 and 5.

If Xbox would have focused on ONE console, kept everything exclusive (no PC ports), and didn't release their games on Game Pass, day one, I bet Xbox would have been in a much better place now.
Xbox Play everywhere, was shooting themselves in the foot, again...

Oh, how I miss the OG and 360 era, when Xbox was focused, and kept delivering the goods.

Nothing for me this time.

The original artstyle is gone.
It looks so generic now, that it reminds me of those fanprojects on youtube, where they take a classic 3D game, and remake it in Unreal Engine.

And get prepared for the UE5 stutters...

Xbox are "shifting focus" every damn day...

Looking forward to Elder Scrolls 6, in 2049...

@Coletrain
Haha, same here 😂

How it feels to be a Xbox fan today.

Remember when a new/upcoming console generation, was actually exciting?

@Markatron84
Ah yes. How could I forget 👍😂

There is nothing Xbox about this handheld, just the logo and the Xbox UI launcher.
Beyond lazy.

I'm gonna put a Xbox sticker on my PC, and voila, it's an Xbox 😂

I got a Switch 2, and the Steam version of Legion Go S.
I'll never get another Windows handheld again.
And from seeing peoples interactions with the thing, and getting annoying popups and other windows issues, doesn't help.

Same crap, different name...

For me, it's one of these four, Doom Dark Ages, Shinobi Art of Vengeance, Ninja Gaiden Ragebound and Silent Hill f.

I might end up picking Shinobi, as my GOTY. 😁

Just be prepared for the quick battery drain, if you wanna play the games at better settings/resolution and framerates.
1-2 hours maximum when playing modern AAA games, is more common, than not.
Recommend locking framerates, at 40fps.

It's why I mostly play indies, AA and older AAA games on these PC handhelds.

And here comes the digital paranoia again.
I can still download ALL my digital PS3 games, even the ones that got de-listed, due to license running out.

Same with all my Steam games. Got plenty of games, that you can't buy anymore, that is still in my library.

To be honest, if all my PS3 games, was gone, I wouldn't have given a crap, since I haven't downloaded and played most of them, since 2010.
If I can't play ANY of my Steam games, 30 years from now, I doubt I will even care, as I'm probably six feet under, or have moved on to something new

Sold my entire Xbox 360, and PS3+4 collection a while back, as it was just gathering dust, and I got tired of seeing the clutter.

There are bigger issues in the world, to worry about, than digital vs physical video games.

Xbox is used to "Damage control" by now.

Dear Xbox, please go **** yourself.
You've already hit the rock bottom, no need to continue.

Just buy the regular ones.
Why spend more money on something, just because it has a Xbox logo on it?

Nope, won't spend another dollar for this service.

"We're listening to the feedback of players..."

Yeah, right...
If they did, then Xbox would have been in a better position today...

I got 3 months of Game Pass, for free.
But I haven't even touched it.
There is just nothing I wanna play on there.
I'm gonna play Ninja Gaiden 4 though, before the sub ends in mid November. But after that, I'm done with this service.
I've barely used GP, the last 3 years anyways.

Hard to get excited about Halo these days.
The glory days are long gone...

I've felt that COD fatigue, for about 15+ years.

I got a Legion Go S (Z1 Extreme), with Steam OS instead.
Not going back to a Windows handheld.
Even with a Xbox UI, it's still Windows running things.

Meh! I'm not that desperate, to get a $10 code.

I'm so bored of Kojima using Hollywood actors in his games. I just find it distracting.

One of the best shmups I have played in a LONG time.
Definitely getting the Mega Drive cartridge, next year.

How Randy can even say, that 30fps is good enough, for a fast paced FPS like this, is just insulting.
Try playing a FPS like this, running in 30, with a mouse.

I wish upscaling and framegen wasn't invented, forcing developers to actually optimize their damn games again.

You didn't miss anything of worth, with Rebirth.
The entire game, felt like a bloat fest...

Played it on release.
Got bored after about 15 hours or so.

Don't understand developers, that just don't know when to quit milking their mediocre games.

I want them to fully focus on Elder Scrolls VI instead.
At the moment, it feels like the game will never be released...

As usual, I will skip it, and just check the announcements afterwards.

Lol. 540p upscaled with FSR is so blurry, it's becomes unplayable to me.
I rather play at 40fps, with higher resolutions.

And NEVER use framegen, if your native fps is below 60fps. The input lag is brutal.

Never finished the base game, as I got bored by it. The pacing was way too slow, and I wish they had included a third-person option.
The Uncharted and later Tomb Raider games, felt more Indy, compare to this.

The series should have been buried a long time ago.

As expected then.
Dealing with Windows, on my Ally X, was pure hell at times.
Removed Windows and installed Steam OS instead, and then it was smooth sailing, including better performance in games.
Sure, Steam OS can't play Xbox games natively (yet), but the few times I wanna play Xbox games on a handheld, I can live with it being streamed.

It's insane how much money, that is wasted on AAA games.
Could have made a huge bunch of AA games for that budget, instead of this bloated mess...
