Huh, my apologies from an earlier statement. There are articles and "heads ups" on ms rewards. I just keep missing them, it seems. Kudos! Keep up the great work!
@awp69 I was interested, as well, but the user reviews made it sound like the devs forgot about the game. What with the lack of content and updates. Hopefully, with it on gamepass, ms lit a fire under them, prior, to get it up to snuff.
U/thatexile, "..I played for about 45hrs.." With statements like this, I honestly can't take the person serious. It's like the person who ate 90% of their meal, then complains, asking for a refund.
I'm just wondering if these gpu and game sales will be equal or better, come christmas and new year sales. Probably not gpu deals($25/3 mo), but, for example, guardians of the galaxy($38) should be cheaper by then, right?
@Dezzy70 priorities? Most of Sony's profits, come from playstation. While most of ms' profits come from other ventures and probably government contracts, etc. So sony would focus more on the profitability side, console production; ms is playing the long game*
*all views and opinions voiced in this statement are strictly and purely for entertainment purposes
A little more humility and less gum flapping. No man's sky got to where they are, loveable, by acknowledging mistakes and fighting to no end, to put out the game they always dreamed of, with free patches and updates and dlcs. Cdpr needs to follow suit, and the only time they should converse with the public is when they put out a new patch or dlc, ala no man's sky.
"..the existing technique that we have with FPS Boost, we've tried plenty more than [the 130 FPS Boosted titles] and in some cases the vast majority of the game works great, but then we find a game-breaking bug 80% of the way through."
Considering how some games break, completely with higher framerates, I can see how this statement is true. Not all games can be boosted without any complications. Maybe some of the fps boosters will stay and continue the work, while the others move onto other projects. This will slow down the games, drastically, but hopefully they don't wash their hands of this.
Why isn't the reward app heavily featured? Or is it just me. I mean it's free money. I just found out about it in early 2020. Since then, I've gotten about $70 in giftcards from all the "earned" points. Which in turn got me enough for elden ring and then some.
I'm surprised some ran with this story, considering in his post he says, "..I have not actually played the game.." So, taking some rumor from this person, should've been done with a grain of salt. I've never played returnal, but after watching a montage of clips, I saw what appeared to look like returnal. CONFIRMED FOR ATARI!
The series s is a nice little box, especially if you're not into 4k gaming. The output I've seen from the lil guy, from fh5 to the ascent, back to the bc fps boosted games, is astonishing. I was a naysayer before the release of the S. I'm still looking for an X, but the S has done more than picked up the slack and made me eat my words.
This is awesome, for many reasons! But my concerns are input latency and graphical fidelity/degradation. No harm in finding out, considering it's included with that great service, gamepass.
It's a perfect storm, for halo. Bf2042 has been released with bugs galore, vanguard is more of the same, warzone is plagued with cheats. Did I mention halo multiplayer awesome and it is free?? Welcome back Spartans!
Multiplats are fine and all, but I believe they hurt the game they are developing, because they're focusing on so many different systems. With exclusives, you don't have to worry about optimization on so many platforms, just making sure the one is the best.
With all the crappy, buggy releases as of late, I'd make sure the halo multiplayer releases with little to no problems. Like the old saying goes, "I'd rather have it done right, rather than right now"
Gta hd trilogy remastered has been pulled from rockstar's pc game store/launcher, because of how bad it is. Switchup says gta plays better in handheld mode, than docked. Denial isn't just a river in egypt.
@Kopite 1+million decided to buy, either the full game, or just the $45 add-on pack. Then after release on gamepass and in general, that numbered jumped to 4+ million. Don't know why numbers mean that much to so-called "gamers" just play the games. That so hard?
WOW! The opening segment of fh5, where the cars are dropping out of the cargo planes is jaw dropping! Game is pretty as hell. If you loved the previous horizon games, you'll love this one. If you're a bit tired, then check out rift breaker. It's diablo meets starcraft. Or the darkness games are on sale. Fps max payne.
Eneba dot com has skyrim special edition for $18.18, "codeloyalty". So you could get skyrim anniversary for $38.17. For anyone who doesn't have skyrim already
@FraserG "..was written by someone who has extensive experience with the entire Forza Horizon series from the first game.." With that said, was the reviewer looking forward to this game? Or was the reviewer, "oh god, not another horizon game.."
The beta left me feeling, meh. Hopefully this trial will alleviate some of that hesitance, what with the whole game available. Hope the time doesnt start upon download(ha!).
I'm hoping it's not a cloud game or streaming game, but a grand experience, that will use the cloud to update the world, as we play, or the computing power to raise the assets in a game. Kind of like how bmw made their hybrid engine, a 1.3L 3cylinder hybrid engine, pushes 369hp. Something like that. That doesnt rely on cloud for gaming, but more for performance.

Re: SEGA And Microsoft Partner Up To Bring Next-Gen Games Via The Cloud
I'm hoping it's not a cloud game or streaming game, but a grand experience, that will use the cloud to update the world, as we play, or the computing power to raise the assets in a game.
