Outstanding showcase, and great work making this article. Perfect Dark is what us Dishonored and Deus Ex fans deserve after being treated so badly. It looks awesome!
Just Phil on stage, lights on him, a big screen behind him boots up showing the Gamepass logo, then a Hi-Fi Rush song and Phil starts dancing like he owns Valve, the screen keeps showing the same thing until after 4 amazing minutes when he makes a finishing move pointing at the screen which now shows: Gamepass Ultimate Golden only 29,99
As a card games enthusiast, I did not expect Balatro to be this good just watching the trailers. I meant to try it a little but ended up hooked for a few hours. I agree with this review, great game!
@NintendoByNature I mean the second time you fight the same boss, it's the fight after you shoot arrows to the four guardians. Yeah, I had little problem playing on hard until this boss lmao
@Dimey You play what you want to play, but if you are worried about "missing games" then let me help you: so you have a SeX and soon a PS5, then you're going to "miss" Nintendo games and some PC exclusives. Cheers!
@NarutosBiggestFan Hey kid, maybe you didn't get the memo, but Xbox has the same or even more "single player campaign games" this gen than PS. Or perhaps you're stuck on the first half of the PS4 era, and you just woke up lmao
Segabros we ***** won! It was the best reveal in the show and I need to see what they're doing with Streets of Rage. Looking forward to that "and more..." too.
Great games specially Innocence, it would be fine to get a prequel or maybe a different story in the same universe but as everyone is saying Requiem doesn't need a sequel. Maybe it's a new IP, who knows.
You can't be mad at the existence of new tools and expect to be taken seriously. Each developer will have to use it well depending on what game they want to make. AI is not magic.
I'm dying for ANY news on this game. Hitman is great but I don't expect the JB game to be like it, because it would work better as a more linear experience divided by "stages". Looking forward to more info.
Nice collection for the best videogame franchise. The master books and other extras are a must for the fans. I would have liked it to come with a launcher for all the games and content though. Can't wait for Vol. 2!
Starfield is a ~2000hs game. We can review it, talk about it, ignore it, hate it, but it will be around for years and it will only keep getting better.
This is actually great news for everyone. Paradox can focus on what it does best (average to great strategy games riddled with DLCs). HBS can look for another publisher to start clean. We hopefully get more quality games like Lamplighter's League with more technical polish and better marketing.
@fabisputza007 +7 hours. I tried to like it, and some of the map design was actually good, but I found a lot of negatives: -The loop gimmick gets old fast, and the whole game heavily relies on it -For obvious reasons the enemies are repetitive but it wouldn't be an issue if the next point wasn't true -The AI sucks, you can tell right away that it's worse than Dishonored especially while going for stealth -Awful menus and UI design
The shooting is the only serviceable feature, and I had some fun during MP invasions but that's it.

Infinite Wealth and Persona 3 Reload
@NintendoByNature I got stuck on that boss at the bridge (the second fight). Playing on hard difficulty by the way, good and upgraded amulets too.
Re: Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth Becomes Fastest-Selling Title In The Series
Great game so far, I'm beyond delighted.

Re: Poll: What Were The Best Xbox Game Pass Additions In 2023?
Hi-Fi Rush not only for the game itself, but for being shadow-dropped which added to the whole experience.

Re: Here Are The Top 10 Xbox Games Of 2023 According To Metacritic
Glad to see Cocoon in there, great game.
@Banjo- Yeah, and they're probably working on it. But what I want even more is a Dino Crisis remake.

Re: IO's Upcoming James Bond Game Reportedly 'A More Scripted Experience' Than Hitman
I'm dying for ANY news on this game. Hitman is great but I don't expect the JB game to be like it, because it would work better as a more linear experience divided by "stages". Looking forward to more info.

Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Are Saying About Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1
Nice collection for the best videogame franchise. The master books and other extras are a must for the fans. I would have liked it to come with a launcher for all the games and content though.
Can't wait for Vol. 2!
