Re: Xbox Issues Statement Denying Rumour That Next-Gen Console Could Be Cancelled

Japer83

Lol.
Its probably true but I still wouldn't believe it.

Not specifically a microsoft issue but put another way...

Breaking news.
Companies and just about most, dont admit to failure.

Place could literally be on fire and they would deny it as they load up their cars. Lol.

I mean would you expect anyone to actually admit when its bad?

Do you think maybe the price increases are a sign it isnt going so great for MS?
If anyone in business told the truth stocks would crash in an instsnt

Re: Talking Point: So, Did You End Up Pre-Ordering The ROG Xbox Ally?

Japer83

Lol. Hell no.
Ridiculous idea to begin with.

Yeah, people are spending less and our profits are clearly falling.
Oh, ill know what we'll do...

Let's raise prices 2x times on gamepass, lay off a bunch of folks and make a hand held no one is going to buy.

Then when that fails we can raise prices again while simultaneously claiming that we are somehow doing good. Lol.

Yeah, nah.
I like microsoft but they have been on a horrible idea streak recently.
Good luck with that.

Hope they actually learn from this one time.

Re: Xbox Game Pass Shooter 'Back 4 Blood' Has Officially Ended Development

Japer83

Really tried to like it. Played it on gamepass. Stuck trying to finish chapter 4, I think. One where you Chase the giant monster.

Hated the matchmaking. Teams either quit...or you get stuck with dumb A.I teammates.

Maybe If it wasn't so reliant on the card system. Maybe If the matchmaking had been more solid.

Mechanics were good, but difficulty was lopsided at times.

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think Of Insurgency: Sandstorm On Xbox Game Pass?

Japer83

Meh. I see how the ideas in it could be interesting. Gameplay didn't feel realistic to me, just clunky.

Graphics were bad. I have a series s, maybe it looks better on series x.

Keep in mind this is just my opinion on it. Not worth my time. However if it leads to a more polished insurgency 2 or something, more power to them.

The genre could certainly use the competition.

Vampire survivor.
Which surprised me, not always a fan of this kind of gameplay loop.

Call of duty Modern Warfare 2. Loving it so far, though like most AAA games I've run through this year...it does have a good amount of flaws. My experience anyway.

Maybe some BF2042. I got a little soured with how they handled 5. I know BF has always had rough releases.

BF5 really picked up when I played it a year and change after release though.

I didn't like the start, but willing to check out how it plays now. Least they are trying to fix it.

Want to play some Halo Infinite, but getting harder to be interested in Multiplayer anymore with that. Already beat Campaign, and can say that held up decent at least.

Last but not least, gunfire reborn. Fun, small and easy to just jump in to play. Even has a multiplayer option too. Though I've yet to try it.

@UndyingInsurgent95

Interesting. I really didn't dig Arkham knight to be honest. It's the only
of that set of games that i didn't get into. Maybe it was the car bit. Maybe because I wasn't a fan of just getting some repackaged red hood story. Imho

Keeping an eye in this one. Hopefully either game pass or a decent spring sale.

Re: 343 Shows Off The Power Of Halo Infinite's Forge Mode In New Video

Japer83

I was super into infinite for a bit, but can't hold my interest.
I dislike the desync, and the lack of a character level throws me off.

I bought the 1st battlepass, but I cant justify more cosmetics right now.
Things are getting pricey in general, and I can't spend money just cause.

However, I like the campaign quite a bit. It was maybe a bit short for me.. but a fun time for their first go at a new set of ideas.

I actually play halo for the story first, multiplayer second.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 23-24)

Pushing a little further into Elden Ring.
Going to get into the Hunt Showdown. Been looking forward to it.

Had 5 dollar credit from Microsoft for some reason and got Hunt for 5.
Going to try out Watch Dogs Legion from Gamepass.

Level up a little in Halo.
Try and finish out Gears 5 Story.

Pretty good weekend.

Re: Xbox Game Pass July 2022 List: Coming Soon & Leaving Soon

Japer83

Not much I could be interested in.
I bought FC5 on sale awhile back, was a very Meh game.

Very flat and Two dimensional story IMHO.
But, hopefully more gets added by mid July.

Been a couple months since I was impressed.

Guardians was pretty good.

End of the year (pending more setbacks), will cool though.
Warhammer looks killer.
