Everyone should check out Axis Football 21. It has the best Franchise and creation system. Gameplay is not the best, but if you are like me and want to enjoy being a GM/Owner/Coach then this is the game for you.
I enjoy creating uniforms, custom football field, logos, and setting up my teams roster and how they call plays when I sim the games. It's great indie game from a small team. I even support them as a Patreon so I have as people would say "Skin in the game", meaning I'm putting my money in to supporting them. The game is only $29.99 and will be releasing soon.
Check out Axis Football 21 in their videos on YouTube they just released a few and you'll see its far better to support a small indie team that horrible EA.
I'm not a law mowing guy, but this game is so relaxing and Fraser is right just put on some Spotify or Amazon Music and start mowing. It will be very fun and my wife will wonder why I don't enjoy mowing our yard as much as this games yards.
I hope in the future they will offer multiplayer so you can form online mowing companies. Also, they will need to add more lawns to mow and bigger one as well.
Day One Purchase for me. I loved the demo and will gladly pay for this next week.
I'm glad it's not coming to Game Pass. The developer will not make any money allowing for it to be free. MS would have to pay them tens of millions to make up for lost sales revenue. Only a handful of people would buy the game after trying it on Game Pass. Maybe MS could make deal for several millions in a year or two. Developers need to be paid their not Billion dollar companies like MS who can afford to give their games away for free.
Why do gamers always feel that every game should go to Game Pass? Do they think the small developers and their families want to starve? Sadly their are many (not all) Xbox gamers who don't care they are selfish and insist all games should come to Game Pass. I have Ultimate Game Pass but I rarely use I got it dirt cheap on Black Friday and before that I paid $1 for it. No developer is making money off of $1.
Sorry just went on a little rant about Game Pass. It's nice for some people who can't afford to buy new games, but it isn't good for small and medium developers to make money unless MS will pay them up front tens of millions to make up for development cost.
@SplooshDmg @NEStalgia Great information from both of you.
Oh, I don't own a PS5 (I will get one someday when you don't have to battle scalpers. I have PS4 Pro). I got my Xbox Series X through the "All Access" program back in early March, really enjoying it.
Yeah I agree with many of your well written out thoughts and informative info. I just like to see MS and 3rd parties utilize decompression on the Xbox Series X/S. It would help all of us gamers to have more space for the many games we want to play anytime. I don't have a data cap, however sadly many people do have data cap limits and I think (correct me if I'm wrong) installing games from your library over and over again because you like to switch between them can be a little frustrating. I had to make the tough decision of getting the 1TB expansion card last weekend. I enjoy now more space but paying that much for one was not fun.
@NEStalgia Well this turned into a lively debate. So many comments about Kraken.
Well something everyone here needs to know is that Sony is a minority owner in Epic (I believe 3% or 4%) so they get to use Unreal Engine and any other Epic owned proprieties for free. Kraken was as I understand not just a software but a hardware component on the chipset (which is wise). If anyone here would be kind enough to share a screenshot of the PS5 chipset and where the Kraken is suppose to be on the motherboard.
What baffles me though is why MS won't get their act together and use their supposed awesome decompression software so when I install Halo Infinite this Fall it won't be taking up 100 GB or more space. MS Flight Sim is horrible more worse. I was warned that I need to basically set aside 200 GB for base game (roughly 102 GB as know) and other content. Also why does the internal HD only give you 802 GB well the 1TB Expansion card give you 920 GB. That is a lot of space for a operation system. Why have I lost between the both of them 212 GB of space. That's horrible.
MS needs to go through all their games and start do their magical "Decompression" software. A update for AC Valhalla shouldn't be Xbox Series X nearly 24 GB and PS5 lest than 7 GB. That's bad for the consumer. I though MS had such smart people working on their Xbox Software, but sadly MS wishes and dreams of having a genius like "Sir Mark Cerny". Many developers have commented over the years that he is always the smartest when it comes hardware and system software design.
As a Xbox Series X owner I want all the magic MS keeps promising. It stinks that I have to suffer through false promises and words. I had to make a hard choice either keep deleting and reinstalling games over and over again or suck it up and go buy the 1 TB expansion card (which I did last weekend). If MS would utilize their "Magical" decompression software on 1st and 3rd party game like Sony is doing then I wouldn't be forced to spend more money on HD space.
(Well this should increase the fireworks of debate).
As a Xbox Series X owner I just recently bought the 1TB expansion card and I appreciate the ease of installation.
I will remind you all that Sony exclusive "Kraken" technology chipset and software on the PS5 massively compressed storage data. AC Vahalla latest patch took nearly 24 GB update on Xbox Series X/S, well on the PS5 it was less than 7 GB. As more 3rd party games (to go along with 1st party) take advantage of this the PS5 will be able to store more games on there internal HD than Xbox Series X/S. (There are videos on YouTube about this Kraken technology on the PS5)
Finally, Sony was smart to offer 3rd party companies to make expansion HD's instead instead of a what MS is offering. Prices will go down for Sony HD's over the years and offer a cheaper option. Sony HD is over twice as fast and costing just a little more right now than MS.
As soon as this is available for pre order all be buying it, unless it comes to Game Pass then all get it there. It's a lot of fun and I'm not a big fan of mowing my yard in real life, but this is addictive. Oh, and on the Series X it looks, sounds and plays great (the demo).
I just placed a order for mine. Very excited! It's my first Xbox Design Lab controller. I even got an engraving on it. The Series X controller is well built, I'm confident all be using it for years.
What I want to see besides Halo, MS Flight, etc.. is more Xbox Series X/S Optimized games, FPS Boosted Games, and more Xbox 360 and Original Backwards Compatibility Games.
I have several games like AC Odyssey, Origins, Syndicate, Black Flag, Division 2, Ghost Recon Wildlands, Batma Games, and Witcher 3 GOTY to name a few that I want Optimized for my Xbox Series X. I would also be ok with FPS boost.
I keep dreaming Phil will announce more Xbox 360 and Xbox Original games are backwards compatibile. Why can't my Xbox Series X just have a built in emulator or software emulator?? It has plenty of power to do so.
Anyways, enjoy the E3, all be watching later this afternoon after Church today.
Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries!!! I have my Xbox Thrustmaster Hotas joystick and I'm ready to start taking down some mechs and making some money. Comes out late May for Xbox Series X/S.
