I just signed up for the Alpha. Bungie has the best gunplay in the biz, not sure if it's still the case but will find out. I'm hoping they make the game more photorealistic instead of whatever art style they're going for as it's a bit distracting. I'm a big fan of extraction shooters playing Hunt Showdown so have high hopes for this to be good.
Xbox Game Pass is not worth for me personally anymore. Xbox has a lot of sales and I'm not playing many games. Price increases have turned me off but hey! If you like it, the option is THERE which can't really be said for Nintendo and Sony. It's also on PC so if you have Ultimate there, it may very well be worth your while. I'm gonna buy this game even though it's on Game pass, at least I get a small discount but am gonna wait for physical details
I enjoyed Oblivion more than Skyrim. I remember reading gaming magazines at the time & watching videos on YouTube about the launch and the physics and graphics this would bring to consoles. I poured so much time into it, the game would crash or freeze at the 130 hour mark. Even with the bugs I had a special time hopping into big RPGs with the launch of this title. Such a great time. I will be buying this, hope they have a physical copy.
Price increases now are smart for when GTA VI launches. Consoles should sell out around that time so it won't hurt them to so it, it hurts the consumer though
Doug Bowser just isn't very Nintendo. His decisions on keeping Internet connections on for people that own multiple Switches was outright dumb as I owned the launch model, lite and OLED and would often pack it up to go out only to not be able to play a bunch of my content because that device hadn't been online. They are just allowing this now for up to 2 weeks. A great improvement but their decisions don't make a lot of sense to me.
Of the consoles, Xbox needs to tone down their advertising by a lot. I get Windows us full of ads but like for my Xbox, if I don't have GPU, I should not get ads for it everytime I am booting up the console or starting certain games. Let my people go!
I've had a chance to visit factories like this and it's awesome they had a little tour of it. I think I can feel confident buying any device or building my own PC and it not being an Xbox after this video because it looks like I'll be able to play it in anything I want. I can finally let go but I don't wanna 😭 I've owned every Xbox, I don't wanna stop
Xbox is definitely doing a lot right when compared to Nintendo. Will Nintendo straight smoke Xbox for another gen? Probably and they'll make a lot of profit. Can they avoid the curse of messing up every other launch? Looks like not haha
I like Xbox but Nintendo has decades of experience in this and actually design their games for the device itself instead of trying to get their games to as many devices as possible which leads to many not tailored different experiences. I would prob get both though if the Xbox handheld is compelling enough
They'll be $100 a game by 2030 but that's inflation and the market. A haircut for guys costs $50 in some of the bigger cities when I remember it costing $15 less than 10 years ago, maybe $25 for a really nice spot. Sign of the crappy times y'all
This is still one of those rare places on the internet where you can make some money and it's not a total scam so as long as I can even earn a few cents I'm happy
I just hope with the next "most powerful console ever" they don't shoot it in the leg with a weaker variant that holds it back. Series S has been great for Xbox growth & casual gamers being the most sold console of the two but it's also made getting the more expensive version a little bit moot, I benefit from 4k and 120fps but it's on just a handful of titles. If I get another Xbox at all it'll be their cheapest version, no more huge spend for something they hardly support. Still wanna build a PC since Microsoft is moving everything over there anyway
Who doesn't like free stuff? Pretty cool they're doing this. With development costs these days it's nice to see stuff like this, I may even pick up a copy (feel like I impulse bought already) which is also good for their Marketing
Just 3 more months of fixes and I will be ready to dive into this bad boy. Still avoiding reviews and spoilers, can't wait to play it! But I mean I guess I am waiting 😭
Nope not playing it. I typically play Forza games for around 3-5 hours per release. I love the audio and graphics but not enough of a racing fan to stay in there longer
I think we will end up with options, hardware will have a place as long as we have hands and fingers and thumbs and eyes. There's something about tactile feel and control and ownership over something that will always lead to there being physical gaming products. Sure you can buy Catan, chess and Risk in a digital format but a physical set is always going to exist. Same for games with screens and perpiherals, we will want that for a very long time.
I feel like not too many games are pushing next gen tech anyway. Shame for the Analysis, I'm sure it won't help the dev push units but hey, that's their creative decision and budget that put out what it is
