Re: The New Skate Is Getting All Sorts Of 'Mixed' Impressions So Far

Halucigens

I enjoy it. Huge skateboarding fan and the controls are great. Don’t really care that it’s free to play or online only. Been making my own skate parts. I probably prefer skater xl over this but Skate is new and I’ve put in hundreds of hours into skater xl.

Tony hawk Pro Skater I can’t get into anymore. Feels more like a fighting game. I love the flick it controls because it feels like really skating. I tried session a ton and every time it felt different than before. It’s okay but it feels sluggish.

Re: Hands On: Gears Of War Reloaded Beta - Great Gnasher Gibbings, But Overly Familiar On Xbox

Beta was okay. Explosives like boom and frags seemed nerfed. I’ll have to try it on my pc directly linked because the shots weren’t adding up which is a gears of war 1 staple. Map choices were okay. Gridlock is one of my favorite mp maps of all time. Ravens doesn’t work with team death match with spawn swaps on such a small map. Gold rush is pretty much go top and get torque bow and it’s easy to camp spawns. Team death match is also for only social gaming waiting for your team to get online. Gears is about getting power weapons and with respawns you just camp.

Re: Sony Has Approached Subscriptions 'Healthier' Than Xbox, Says Former PlayStation Boss

I still buy games. If a game on game pass has a premium upgrade I usually get it. I ditched the ps4 for a multitude of reasons and came back to pc and xbox platform. Love that they connect seamlessly. Game pass helps pay for development cost on games. It also gets games a bigger audience. So much of this world is unsustainable and we focus on game pass? More games are being made than ever before with lower barriers of entry for independent developers. Games are supposed to be fun. Why do I care about the business of it all when one of the biggest corporations is spearheading it? Even if gamepass ended tomorrow it’s not going to stop people from making games. People get hired and fired everyday and it’s a dream of most to work in a “creative” industry. Plenty of jobs out there but with probably less pay. Don’t blame game pass for that, this version of capitalism is unsustainable and game pass is a mere fraction of that.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Towerborne On Xbox Game Pass?

Halucigens

I bought the early access on steam last year. Super happy it's on xbox and really easy to link accounts. Couldn't get my buddies to really dive deep in it but I love it. Super easy to jump in and do a challenge or grind for hours. Just unlocked difficulty 5 and at level 40 with the huge gloves. Art is great, Music is great and it reminds me of Dragons Crown.

Re: Three Xbox Games Revealed As Best-Selling PS5 Titles Of April 2025

Huge news. I respect Xboxes move to multi platform. I’m a gamer on all devices and platforms and could care less about exclusives. Let us play games where we want. Smart move and it’s turning into sales.

There are Xbox gamers that won’t touch Sony/Nintendo and vice versa. Why eliminate yourself from a whole ecosystem? These articles get the most engagement but when it favors Xbox I don’t see the same users around stirring the pot.

Re: Talking Point: Early Access Players, Have You Been Enjoying Xbox's South Of Midnight So Far?

Halucigens

Game is great. Beat it on Saturday. Story is good, Music is great, Art + Design is Great. Gameplay is okay. Got lost in the world just walking around staring at detail. Music went from soul to jazz to big band. Was fun researching some of the folk lore they presented in the game. I usually don't get hooked into Single Player games. Definitely will be up for some awards at the end of the year.

Re: Towerborne's Early Access Off To A Slow But 'Very Positive' Start

Halucigens

I got to play for about an hour yesterday. It crashed my computer with a memory leak. It eventually worked. Combat and art style is great. I wish it was local coop on Steam though. Hopefully they can roll that out. Not the best time for release but I'm going to play it some. World of Warcraft season 1 just dropped yesterday.

Re: New World: Aeternum Is Getting A Closed Beta On Xbox This Week

Halucigens

It’s decent. Just sped through it on PC. Hit max in 60 hours. Bugs, no races, no classes. Resource gathering is good. Combat is decent. Environments and zones are vivid. Enemies and repetition gets boring. I’ll jump back in if some buddies pick it up on console. The community is toxic and bitter.
