@Friendly not just FPS. It has a bunch of slowdown and technical issues. There are a lot of people that I've seen with buyer's remorse and are waiting until a few patches have come out. We should be concerned about how games run. I truly don't care about 30 fps on consoles, but if you have a $2000 PC setup and it can't run at a higher frame rate, then there's some kind of underlying issue with the optimization.

One of the worst optimized games of this generation. Can't even run at a locked 60 fps on PC. That's a huge red flag.

Pentimento, Grounded, SoT, and Hi-Fi Rush. Older games and small games.

Pretty ridiculous how rumors get turned into actual news. There's also rumors of a new Xbox, including a new handheld, that will release in 2026. There's absolutely no way MS just backs out of the console side... No way.

With the acquisition and being the largest game development group, this was inevitable. When companies get acquired or split, changes are made. 1900 are gone, but they're also hiring for their studios as well like the Coalition. I'm sure some of these people will find jobs in other areas or studios. It's still hard to hear though.

After that big update to combat, driving, etc, it became a better game. If you look at it as just an action GTA style game, it's decent. If you expect it to be like SR3, you'll be disappointed. It's definitely not a 4 in it's current state. Maybe a 6.5... I know people have strong feelings about how "woke" this game is haha

I enjoyed it. Some of the presentations did feel like too much talking. Gamers want gameplay and details that matter. It wasn't bad by any means. I'm waiting to hear about Towerborne. ActiBlizz announcements will happen in their own time, since it's a butt load of content and I think it'll all be dropped at once on to Game Pass when it's ready. With all these games and Assassin's Creed Red later this year, I may need 3rd job.

@Cherip-the-Ripper absolutely loved Atomic Heart. This was probably my favorite year of gaming, ever. I know that's a big statement, and Atomic Heart was a big reason why it was so awesome.

All of these games seem to be incredibly unique. Flintlock maybe not so much, but MS has a lot of stuff for 2024. Going to be a big year. Thank God. 2023 was also awesome though.

@awp69 that's what I was going to say. In turn, selling more consoles. They sound like they're taking the high road, but they know what this acquisition means. People will switch. Just a matter of how many and when...

@Nalverus I know the reason why it looks like it does. I was just commenting on how the port had framerate dips. This game could be emulated and should still run at 60 fps. My comment was more based on a lazy port. I would have rather waited 6 more months for a proper port with maybe some reworked textures. Upping the resolution makes it look worse.

For such an ugly port, I was surprised to see frame rate dips. It truly looks worse than Monster Hunter World and runs worse as well. It might look fine on the small Switch display, but on an 86 inch TV on the Series X, the environment and character models are so jaggy.

I enjoyed it. We all have to bear in mind that a lot of these MS acquisitions are in their infancy. I think there would have been more gameplay from games like Fable, Avowed, etc, but when companies prematurely release gameplay, they get torn apart. It's smart on Microsoft's part. We know those games are releasing at some point. Do i want gameplay, of course. But i want quality gameplay. Not some thrown together garbage. I'm patient. There are tons of games releasing this year, just chill the hell out.

I loved being able to Skype while playing. It was a pretty sweet feature.

@ResoluteCustoms my thoughts exactly. It's been a somewhat fun game to experience, but the levels are WAY too linear. I didn't expect any kind of open world, but I always feel like there are no choices at all...

I love being able to decide how long of an experience the game is. AC Odyssey was a perfect example. Many people thought it was too long, but I put in 135 hours and enjoyed every minute. Other games I wouldn't have put that many hours into.

Well this has persuaded me to preorder. I guess it still could be a bust, but here's hoping!!

I've tried playing Watch Dogs so many times but hated 30 fps. Now I'll give it a go. I literally can't play anything that's 30 fps now. God I'm spoiled.

@BlueOcean I really love FH3, but its hard for me to love 30fps. We've gotten so spoiled.

Biomutant is the most exciting for me. Mass Effect and Resident Evil will be great games, but you know what you're getting. Biomutant is a brand new IP that looks so promising. It could be absolute garbage, but I've been interested in Biomutant since it was announced.

Forza Horizon 3 needs to be 60 fps. I can't stand 30 for any type of racing game. I've been spoiled with the series x. Every 30 fps game feels sluggish.
