@Fiendish-Beaver Some people are very serious about there frame rate preference it seems my dude apparently making any light hearted quips or not treating it like the very serious issue it is offends some. No difference of opinion or jokes remember it's basically life or death we are talking about here!
@RiverGenie It's Monday bro it happens I was being passive aggressive myself being truthful so apologies for that. Hope you have a good day my friend πͺ
@RiverGenie Also I did in fact say "some people" in my original post not everyone so yeah I shouldn't of really needed to apologize but as the nice guy I am I did anyways for nothing haha π
@RiverGenie Apologies dude didn't mean to offend if anyone has medical reasons I didn't think I had to take everything into consideration but ok.
Some people can be fussy about fps but not all especially those with medical reasons π
@IronCrow86 Yeah it's really not a big deal some people are just very fussy some games I prefer to play on 30fps for better resolution and visual stability in games. It really shouldn't make a difference in my opinion.
Nice touch I think with these badges I'm very close to the 200,000g achievement one nearly at 193,000g now I should get there before the end of the year but with GTA coming out I could be a couple thousand short haha π
Hopefully they update the mobile app so you can see them there aswell.
First off happy weekend everyone! I'll be continuing the marvelous mafia remake current gen version it's just so you can see the visual upgrades especially in the cutscenes and the story is just get. Being on a mafia love in I'm going to try again to complete mafia 3 just going to start it fresh no dlc this time and try power though it. GGMU πͺ
It's all just crazy in fairness but they have kept too much from people and not given people enough trailers so this was bound to happen eventually! The leaker himself has thrown his life away over nothing unfortunately if he gets caught! Personally I enjoyed his leaks for being nothing story related more or less!
@AI-Generation Yeah for sure they are no doubt probably more Microsoft in my opinion for some crazy reason. They shouldn't be charging more for the series x considering it's less powerful and older than the playstation pro. The switch 2 though is still decent value I'd say and will be around for many years to come.
@fatpunkslim That could very much be the case aswell. I'm not the most informed on this subject myself. Either way they have the right to keep that information to themselves if they wish. I don't put too much stock in sales of games or consoles myself. I'm not really that interested in it and it doesn't do anything to enhance my gaming experience if a game has sold loads or not haha π Some of the best games I've played sold terribly and flopped by all accounts haha
@TDHorizon Hahaha yeah I think I remember they did something like that with Yorkshire tea aswell. It's a good idea to pick up novelty editions of controllers and consoles if you can while they are out it seems. That's one hell of a profit to be made! Does your friend still have the controller is sell it in a heartbeat for that price much profit!
Subs will be more important than sales for Microsoft going forward!
Also if the sales numbers are never really going to be impressive especially compared to the competition then its not really a positive for Microsoft to share them!
GTA will sell loads on Xbox but in the best case scenario for Microsoft playstation will sell 3 or 4 times that amount compared to Xbox.
That would be huge news like the preorder numbers where at the time for the game.
No point in sharing information that would bring ridicule and negative press to the brand.
@TDHorizon If you have the funds I'd say go for it buddy I'd be very shocked if it wasn't an investment you could at least double your money on eventually!
@CallMeDuraSouka Also I'd become paranoid about the dust build up over time with the console considering you can see right into it haha. The fact they can charge hundreds extra for what really is a different colour plastic for the console and controller is just stupid in my opinion aswell but these companies are being allowed to shaft us like thisπ€
@AI-Generation Or just double down on streaming services I mean even the series s which is pretty much the same power as the switch 2 is ridiculously expensive right now! I'm blessed I picked up my consoles when I did for the price I did!
They should bring that console on tour around the place pubs clubs and sell it as a comedy act because that price is literally comical!!
In a normal world that would be Β£400 tops this far into the generation!
This is definitely the start of the end of home consoles as we know it if the prices don't go back to normal soon!
@fatpunkslim I just don't like the tone of the games to be honest and cutscenes the same computer type thing on the screen with a very serious voice over.
Also the games take themselves far to serious call of duty should be fun and cheesy which is why I prefer the black ops series obviously except for the last one which was absolutely terrible.
Hopefully this game ends up good but I have literally no temptation in myself to ever touch this game I'd download black ops 6 again if I get the cod itch again haha
@Sindayl Just wait and see the numbers this game does and how much money it makes after a couple days or even day one. It's a far bigger release than any Zelda could ever hope to be.
@oopsiezz Yup I'm the same my friend the lack of any official trailers or gameplay had me worried but the game looks amazing from what is shown in the leaks so far. I'll be in and out of Reddit all day today hoping for more leaks!
Just like actual consoles now the price is an absolute joke! Did nobody tell them a Lego type console doesn't use any ram so no need to charge so much!
Tell me lies tell me sweet little lies!
Delay till 2030 no point releasing a new console that won't sell as well as current gen due to extortionate pricing!
Microsoft's European, African and middle eastern headquarters are located in Ireland but yet nothing like this is EVER in Ireland!
Bull in my opinion!
Just here for the low taxes that are now gone!
Good enough for them!
I watched the basketball ball one it showed nothing really. Kinda more looking forward to all the bs about the game like trailers and leaks and speculation being over that the actual game when it comes out. I think they should of had a couple gameplay trailers out by now and shown much more I don't like this style of marketing a game.
I'm surprised digital foundry didn't lose there minds over the oblivion port to switch 2 like they did for re requiem a very suspicious view now considering games that perform similarly to it on switch 2 lately are criticized compared to the series s versions.
I get these lists but is there any point in putting Spiderman games and a wolverine game in the list? You might aswell put the ark of the covenant on your shopping list because like those games it's never ever going to happen! A realistic list would be very much welcome!
@Fiendish-Beaver Not really you get thrown into a map probably about as big as the siege map big you can move a lot faster and the games are quick the longest would go around 30/40 minutes but they could go overtime for a while you can only get it done in a set time and stratagems go after the expected mission time ends.
It's crazy fun though when it goes mad!
You can call in air strikes, turrets, heavy weapons even mech suits.
There's Also three different enemy types with there own set of classes there's a good bit too it if you could get some of your gears group to try it out you guys could really enjoy it I think especially as a team already yourselves.
Definitely worth a research anyway I think of what the game is like to play.
@Fiendish-Beaver Also there isn't really higher levels even from the start you are extremely powerful. Some of the best weapons are in warbonds though which you buy with super credits which can be farmed very easily or bought and then you unlock that gear for use with war medals you receive from completing missions. You can also upgrade your starship in the game. Everything taken or earned from missions is shared equally at the end of each mission so there's no competition between player's in games everything is geared to jolly cooperation like solaire would say hahaha
@Fiendish-Beaver You could play it solo yes definitely on the lower levels but the game is really built to play with others the community is mostly great and rewards get shared evenly no matter what happens in a mission. It's really fun tbh I'd say check out some gameplay too see if your into it. It has similarities to the new siege mode but in my opinion it's very much more refined and enjoyable than siege mode with stratagems and lots more weapons.
Yeah they look to be different location sections from the overall map which I guess will be the world map for the campaign.
It's definitely going to be interesting to see what they do about a classic horde mode.
It seems loads like the new siege mode I tried my best to like the mode myself but I just found it tedious to play not fun.
If there isn't a proper horde mode I don't see myself wanting to play more after the campaign is finished I'd rather go back to gears 5 maybe eventually get to the top level haha π
@FatGuyInLilCoat Yeah it definitely feels off to me how it played. Gears 4 for me had the best version of PvP multiplayer. Active reloads should give you an advantage aswell but what I've played from the first weekend was ridiculous tbh. Unloading the best part of a clip straight away just to be competitive in the game is no fun!
I've done my time in gears multiplayer over various gears games going back to gears 2 I don't really want to play it anymore what I did play of the beta multiplayer seemed really unbalanced and active gnasher shot can one hit kill from miles away the movement is great but the guns and active reloads need balancing in my opinion.
As for the "horde" siege mode I found it tedious and joyless to play it's not fun like the actual horde mode from previous gears games.
That said I'm looking forward to the campaign but other than that I'll probably just head back to gears 5 for the actual real horde mode and multiplayer if I want to play it.
