@Fiendish-Beaver, rest assured that it is not as bad as Atlus Games. Despite having a bunch of cutscenes, the game is paced okay with a ton of gameplay. I believe the worst is on Part 1 because there is a ton of Sony Exclusive moments(the really slow walking with extensive talk that kinda kills the pacing :/).
@Fiendish-Beaver, as someone who waited for Part 2 to be near release so I could finally play Part 1, I can say to you that it was a great experience! Not only is Part 2 much better, but it was so great for continuity-wise to play both at once that I can't imagine how it was back in 2020, but I am afraid that won't be a great experience to play all three at once, if you are of the completionist kinda Part1 is around 40h, Part2 easily 90-100h, since Part 3 seems to be the biggest yet I believe at least 150h for you to complete the 3 games, I can see you growing tired of the game in the middle of the road....
@Nintendo4Sonic, hey, as someone from a third-world country, 30fps is also a huge problem for me, don't exclude us from the topic XD....@SalaciousCrumb has a great point, game looks incredible, but I much prefer 60FPS for my games NO MATTER the genre...
I like Infinite pretty much, and that was sick, it's incredible how you can build a one-hour compilation of awesome kills with the physics and systems of this game.
@JON22 never played Earth Defense, just watched some reviews and gameplay (shot out to ssethtzeentach channel!), but the games look pretty similar setting-wise and gameplay-wise, the humour is not the Japanese quirk one it's another kinda of humour but funny, you also don't need to worry about difficulty as the game has a whooping 10 different levels of dificulty that change the gameplay loop so you can set it as your hearts contents, the community and variaty of the game is really good with its prescedural levels and different gameplay aspects(that I believe is different from Earth Defense specific levels but it is REALLY well done) I'm not a expertise on the topic but I doubt you will have a bad time playing this one!
I recommend all my Xbox fellas to give this one a try, did not expect much and was completely blown away by the Quality and Fun Time I had with Helldivers 2, a game simply made with love and passion, just like the first one!
@Kaloudz that's odd because I think the complete opposite, despite not huge fan of the new look, this looks like my favorite James Bond game, that being 'Everything or Nothing', the trailer left me excited, especially because of all the vivid colours, so looking forward to this.
@Kaloudz I'm not huge fan of Halo 4 because of a bunch of decisions I really did not like, but nonetheless I really appreciate 343 trying something different for the campaign (multiplayer they did not need to change so much, it died so fast lol), but it story was miles better than 3, that was a huge letdown coming from Halo 2 Peak Storytelling.
@Kaloudz I`m on the same boat. The game was really promising but it had so many bugs, connections problems, horrible matchmaking and odd design decisions that really made the Multiplayer experience a huge letdown, but the campaign was really awesome! I do believe is one of the best alongside with the first two games, and it`s sad to think that most of the Halo fans probably did not even played it(I know a bunch that did not...).
I Freak LOVE this game,unfortunate I had to sell my Xbox to cover some bills recently but I really hope to see a oficial port( or maybe by the fans?) on PC at some point, some Xbox/Xbox 360 games are so rich in creativite that I really wish some offical emulator come to PC...(I would pay Xbox OS at a heart BEAT!).
@Utena-mobile just get the originals, they are much cheaper I believe and are of much better quality then the versions presented on Master Collection: basically they changed a lot of the original atmosphere, visuals and gameplay design wise, included a bunch of unnecessary extra chapters and for each "enhancements" they made there are like 3 downsides, for example you can argue the version of II on Master Collection is much more balance but that came with the cost of removing game mechanics and make it much easier (BTW Ninja Gaiden Black is an all-time classic you really shoud take that one, II frame rates problems are GONE by the huge performance upgrade thanks to new Xbox consoles).
For me it's simple quit simple, since I sold all my xboxes I would get sold in a Xbox Handheld ONLY if it has attractive price and full support with the Xbox OS Library, that means I can freely play my current Xbox collection, God how I miss my OG/360 classics...my sweet PZ Orta...
Trying to engage into the FF Rebirth PC port and new Tokyo Extreme Race, just waiting for the salary to drop and pick up Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, holy moly 23rd January will be a day to remeber, for me at least, 3 incredible games releasing at the same time
It will be sad if this Review interferes the website relation with Microsoft/Xbox itself since It is the lowest for the game so far, despiste I can't simply understand the critique of the First Person(seems like an odd nitpick) I appriciate the honest Review ❤️
I joined on 360 simply because of piracy, wanted to Hope on 360/PS3 generation(Resident Evil 5/ Naruto New games) but the price of the games was simply absurd for my family financial health.
@Thrussted I'm expected to be this way, but to be Fair, there Will be Cross save between the two and you Will need to have a Microsoft account so for me that open some space for doubt.
@iplaygamesnstuff yeah, I kinda 100% agree with you, but to say by myself, despiste ALL the flaws Microsoft Store is my Second favorito Store after Steam, I dont mind own games there at ALL, play anywhere is fantastic and the only reason I want to have Forza on Steam is for My Steam Deck only.
Hello, I have a question maybe some of you could answer If I bought the bundle on Microsoft Store, but after I buy the game on Steam, Will I be eligible to get the Bundle content on my steam game? I ask that because Forza Horizon 5 had the same kinda launch and some of you already had this experience.
I'm so devastated with this one, tha game is finally in shape that I always wanted to be: progression, lot of new modes, load of content, but the South America fanbase seems non existent, I suffer just to find matches below 100ping, and how this game was designed, above that the game is simple unplayable.
@fraser I know one! CSGO I bought It out of curiosity when I bought a séries S, I had to enter the 360 Store only tô be able to buy it, so Fun tô experience this one in his initial state and even found some players online
I don't why Capcom does not talk about RE5 total Sales, we know x360/PS3 Sales but as Far as I know they never shared PS4/ONE/PC/Switch sales, I bet is UP there with those....
@Fraser Gilbert If u check the oficial site, they say latest plataforms in plural so I belive ITS really coming ti Xbox/steam. (Check the developer notes)https://www.konami.com/mg/mc/us/en/
@Ashadelo they like to make reboots or reimaginations of old titles, for what reason you may ask? Maybe its because they are so much beloved and well-received because of characters, quality, etc...there is also the point that COD was receiving a lot of critics last gen about it going too far from its roots, changing a bunch of things that could be seen as negative(the whole si-fi and futuristic aesthetic), so that could also be related, to give the feeling that is really coming back to its roots, its glory days, you know.
I can never see this as a (Bad) Review Bombing, I mean, Steam straight up has an option to say if you recommend or not the game, everyone is free to tell their opinion, this DOES NOT come from nowhere, the game has been receiving this constant bad ratings on the last couple of months (and they were only increasing), GEEZ let people have their own opinion
100% on that, never bought a new COD since BO2, but would gladly play some if they are thrown on Gamepass, including this sweet game Diablo 4 is looking to be. 🤤🤤🤤🤤
@MaccaMUFC the screenshots and scenes that some shared with me also didn't incentivize me to move on with the series hahaha, but I do have to admit that the acting was good to me and the visuals are superb, this aspect was simply GREAT to me.
@MaccaMUFC definitely didn't enjoy it, couldn't pass episode 4, why you ask? Cause I didn't feel like it was Halo, how they lead with some characters and concepts just didn't feel it was "A new take on the Halo universe", it really looks more like a sci-fi tv series that wants to do its own thing but with some little Halo concepts throwing here and there, also the plot/premise was kinda mid actually.
@Markatron84 100% agree with you, in my humble opinion Splatoon was so good at it because from the beginning it already had a great premise, company effort, and the Nintendo DNA built on it. Can't say the same for those...
@Markatron84 never played Bleeding Edge, but all these games give this same aura of "I want to be the next 'new super unique hit' ", but really liked KnockOut City, just thought it should have been free-to-play from the beginning....
When I see project like this, Bleeding Edge, Knockout City and ETC...I just think everybody wants to be the next 'FORTINITE case', that is the only motive I think project like this has some incentive.
@Markatron without even mentioning the famous "COD Players" who feel the necessity to camp in the middle of the game, I just stopped counting the times I lose an objective because of those guys...
@InterceptorAlpha 100% with you, I play in a not-populated region(Brazil), and the combo 120-150ping + desync just can't do this game justice, Disruptor gun simple does not work in this condition, can you imagine the necessity to always rely on melee the first guy to get the assault rifle on Last Spartan Standing? Desync simple broke this game.
@Mince if i'm not mistaken you can browse the US Xbox Store in your Cellphone/PC and use this gift card code on there to maybe buy a cheap game for $10?
Never been a "play with randoms online" guy, so that's okay, just waiting with Da Boys to play CO-OP as soon as the update releases into the normal game.
