Seems like Embracer Group was more interested in getting all those IP’s in their possession. Instead of making allot of games. To me.. the name Embracer Group for a company sounds suspicious to begin with.
He knows the value of EA is getting higher and higher the more the industry grows. EA has so many big IP’s and so much experience. EA wil definitely won’t be independent forever, and he wil make allot of money of it.
I like it so far. Played 5 matches. Every match it goes better and better. The high speed, big maps and skills makes the the game a lot harder in the beginning than it actually is. You have to adapt to the speed and gameplay. After a few matches it’s start to click
And then the publisher are gonna cry about the fact that they don’t earn enough money day 1, and everybody will buy the game at a point when the problems are fixed and are €20 instead of €70.
Publishers will step up there day 1 pre-order bonuses for this.
Bad timing to launch this update though.. why release the update when everybody is playing big releases. Why not wait for a moment when people have more time to pick it up. Add some extra content in the meantime to make it more like a reset like Cyberpunk 2077.
These deals are so weird. I bought Ghost Recon Breakpoint Ultimate Edition for just €6,99 with a deal like this. But all my Xbox friends had to pay €29,99.
Mod support would be amazing. I wouldn’t mind to pay for mods. I really like the idea of supporting the modders in some way. There are so many amazing mods for Skyrim and Fallout 4.
Mini maps are not essential. Stop looking at smal UI maps all the time. Start looking at the gameworld. You get use to it, and you will see so much more of the game.
With shipping included a total of €29 to deliver it to The Netherlands. Little to much for me. There will be so much more merch.. I’ll hold of. Gonna keep my FOMO in check. Same with the Series X skin.
Is it optimised this time around? Last time it was on Gamepass it was not. I really wanted to play Firewatch.. but not at 900p and 30 FPS.
Isn’t it easy for the developer to bump up the resolution and FPS? They want money from Microsoft to be on Gamepass.. but don’t want to put in the work to get it optimised for the most recent systems.
People.. look at Forza Motorsport and Starfield! This was plannend all along. Xbox and Gamepass wil have big games coming to the platform and Gamepass service. Along with so many new subscribers. Gamepass wil still be a steal compared to buying these big budget games. This is the start of the new Xbox era, and the price raise is part of it.
I do exactly this on my LG CX. It’s insane how good this works. I’m playing Tears of the Kingdom in what feels like 60FPS. Running with the Pro UI mode, and the game looks and feels amazing.
I played Horizon Forbiden West, Ghost of Tsushima and Death Stranding the same way. All felt like 60 FPS. It’s an overlooked feature by many people.
The only downside is that with some games.. the UI has problems with this. But a dynamic UI solves most of these problems.
Played solo for 1,5 hour, and having a blast so far. I love the setting, and the graphics are ok. Wishes for a 60 FPS mode. But I got used to 30 after 15 minutes.
I recently saw someone take 1500 dollar on a gameshow instead of a car. For sort of the same reason. He couldn’t afford the taxes he had to pay for the car. (He also should have payed for the shipping cost of the car) He was happy to take the 1500 dollar.
If they are really chasing Fortnite riches, they would make the live service part better. I never was a fan of Fortnite, but from what I have seen.. Fortnite is also the king of the live service model. They have the best model in the market.

Re: 343 Shares New Look At Remade Halo 3 Maps For Upcoming Halo Infinite Mode
Halo Infinite Season 5 is amazing so far, and I can’t wait for these Halo 3 maps to come out and the release of Firefight.
The Husky Raid gamemode is also amazing and these maps made by the community are awesome. I strongly recommend to give Infinite another go.

Re: New Starfield Test Suggests It Could Run At 40-60FPS On Xbox Series X
Cmon.. just let it go for now. The game runs great on stable 30FPS. Enjoy the game instead of thinking that maybe the grass could be a bit greener.
Re: Starfield Console Mod Support: Are Mods Coming To Xbox?
Mod support would be amazing. I wouldn’t mind to pay for mods. I really like the idea of supporting the modders in some way. There are so many amazing mods for Skyrim and Fallout 4.

Generates traffic to Metacritic. Metacritic has ads. The more traffic the more add revenue.

Re: Poll: Starfield Explorers, What Do You Think Of Fast Travel So Far?
I feel the fast travel function should be tight to the difficulty settings. The higher the difficulty, the less fast travel options you get.
It feels almost to easy for me to het around. But maybe that’s because I have so many hours in No Man Sky. (300+)
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 2-3)
Starfield of course!
My wife and kids left the house for me.. my save files notes 11h 23m.
Re: Early Access Players, What Are Your First Impressions Of Starfield?

Re: Early Access Players, What Are Your First Impressions Of Starfield?
@Fenbops
HDR is not broken. The creation engine just doesn’t support HDR. No game made in the creation engine supports HDR.
Re: Get Ready For Starfield With This New Xbox Series X|S Dynamic Background
I’ll stick with the Starfield dynamic background that came with the controller. It’s so clean.
(Also available with the headset)

Re: Highly-Rated 'Firewatch' Is Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (August 17)

Isn’t it easy for the developer to bump up the resolution and FPS? They want money from Microsoft to be on Gamepass.. but don’t want to put in the work to get it optimised for the most recent systems.
Re: Talking Point: What Would Convince You To Use Xbox Cloud Gaming More Often?
It works good on mobile. I just want Microsoft to make a Gamepass Surface Deck. Cloud & Local.
Re: Deals: All 30+ Backwards Compatible Games In This Week's Xbox Sales (August 1-8)

Plays great. The 60 FPS makes the gameplay so much better. To bad the resolution is not so great, but it doesn’t hurt the gameplay at all.
Re: Deals: All 30+ Backwards Compatible Games In This Week's Xbox Sales (August 1-8)
My brain hurts.
I see Drake, Sully and Chloe in that picture.
Re: Microsoft Announces Price Increases For Xbox Series X And Xbox Game Pass
People.. look at Forza Motorsport and Starfield! This was plannend all along. Xbox and Gamepass wil have big games coming to the platform and Gamepass service. Along with so many new subscribers.

If Starfield wil get an dynamic UI, we’re solid.

Make the Activision deal happen, and give the Halo IP to Infinity Ward (Modern Warfare 2) for some years.
