Re: Roundup: Here’s What The Critics Are Saying About Far Cry 6

PhhhCough

What I gather from the reviews, good or bad, is "it's more farcry!". Now, whether that is a positive or a negative, is up to the individual.

Also, like the just cause series, what's with the island nations/caribbean vibe? I'd like to see a farcry or just cause in a heavily populated metropolis.

Re: Seagate's 512GB Xbox Series X|S Storage Card Is Almost Certainly Real

PhhhCough

I keep the optimized games on the ssd's, the series s and the 1tb seagate, and the backwards compatible games on there respective hdds. Quick resume helps with keeping those games readily available. And the ssds and their quick loading are great for the optimized games. But with the 1TB on sale, frequently for $185, the 512gb has to be comparable.

Re: Review: Xuan Yuan Sword 7 - A Huge Surprise Hit

Man, how I miss the days of linear gameplay of yore. The GoW I-III series, just go from point A to point B, kill things in between. Then with assassin's creed, you start here(A), the target is there(B), how you get there and kill the target, is up to you. Now it's point A to point B, but in order to reach point B, you HAVE to do A.1, 2, 3, etc. I enjoyed open world games, when they WEREN'T the norm, but I guess we did this to ourselves, by wanting more "game" to play.

Short rant, long, I'll be checking this out. Didnt even hear anything about it, til just now. Thanks for the heads up

Re: Surprise! Scarlet Nexus Is Joining Xbox Game Pass Today

PhhhCough

@themightyant scarlet nexus and nier are more hack n slash. Code vein is more anime dark souls. Octopath is closest to a traditional jrpg.
Austria ascending
Bug fables
Crisis tales
Darkest dungeon
DQ XI
Frostpunk
GEARS tactics
Star renegades
Undertale
Wasteland series
Yakuza: like a dragon
I think all, if not most of these, are turnbased rpgs.

Re: Insurgency: Sandstorm Makes Its Debut On Xbox, Available Now

PhhhCough

What is the difference between a "tactical fps" and a non-tactical fps? Examples being cs:go and valorant are tactical fps? While cod or halo aren't?

I enjoyed the older ghost recons, think island thunder(2002), rainbow six games(black arrow) and the newer, but older, operation flashpoint games. Is this along those lines? Or more cod?

Re: Xbox Cloud Gaming For Console Is Now Rolling Out To Insiders

PhhhCough

I'm intrigued. When I streamed games from my phone over wifi, with a bluetooth connected controller, the input latency left something to be desired. And I wondered, with a wired connection and a more powerful device, if that would be cut down, dramatically. Now we get to find out. Fingers crossed.
