1.4 million in four days? That is huge. It's only four days. Now compound that yearly and it's BIG money. That's about $125 million per year extra revenue. Insane. Anyone who thinks this is not good must not know simple math.
I was really looking forward to playing this game - said no one. Never heard of this game, don't care. If it's that good when it comes out, I'll play it on the PS5. But, I doubt it.
Played most of the first game. Had a hard time staying interested. These pics look great, but I cannot see myself liking this enough to play it. I hope I'm wrong.
I remember seeing a commercial for the Xbox 360 and it said Halo 3, Mass Effect and Bioshock, only on the 360. That's what made it so incredible. That was the first time I thought that the Xbox had surpassed the Playstation.
I played about three hours (one hour each game) and had a hard time liking it. It's near impossible for me to shoot any enemies and I've died numerous times randomly. I was in a house, health was 100% and then - game over - across the screen. Lol. Not sure what that was about. And aim assist, even when adjusting it in the settings, doesn't exist. I also suck, so there's that. Any tips from anyone would be welcome.
I took a chance and purchased this earlier today. I tried one hour of each of the three games. I thought all three were horrible. Cannot see going back to them. It did remind me of Half-Life 2 a bit, which is a good thing. But, not enough to give it another go. Just my opinion.
Why, once again, is the Xbox the odd man out? It's the "most powerful console on the planet." Does that even mean anything? Lol. The story is always the same - the PS5 version is good to go, but the Xbox version needs.......(fill in the blank). And then there's the whole save file being deleted problem. At this point, I'll probably get it on the PS5 next time it goes on sale. I missed the November sale.
$699. I honestly cannot stop laughing. Also, this would look so bad in our living room where the tv and consoles are. Right now, the black Series X blends right in. The PS5, not so much. But at least it's a solid color mostly. So, a hard no for me.
@Rangers420 Dude, I can't get past the end boss fight. I think I just suck, lol. I've played every Dark Souls, even got 100% achievements on Elden Ring. So, no stranger to difficult games but I just can't seem to get past it. Any tips?
Ever since COVID, I have primarily worked from home, working "in office" one to two days per week. I am FAR more productive with me having the choice to work from home. I'm a much better employee and, honestly, I have not used a sick day in probably four years. We will most likely never go back to working full-time in the office again, which I'm fine with.
@NintendoByNature It's not just you, I found that to be true as well. There were times when I just ran away because I was getting overwhelmed. I understand that the developers probably were promoting co-op, but there should be some type of balance. Or maybe a single-player campaign and a separate co-op campaign. Your character is always about two levels below an enemy, which I don't like (Diablo 4 style leveling). I much prefer Elden Ring's leveling style - if an enemy is owning you, go level up and come back to own the enemy.
If I were to play them, it would obviously be on Game Pass. But, I think all of these games have zero appeal for me personally. So, go ahead Microsoft, spread the mediocrity.
Played this game solo when it came out. Thought every part of the game was great except for the leveling system. It's similar to Diablo which means enemies always scale with your level (actually one or two levels higher). Obviously it was intended for co-op.
I have a PS5 and have zero interest in this game. Who cares if it's not on the Xbox. Lol. Good Lord, move on people. There are plenty of games on the Xbox to play. We don't need this crapfest. Everyone needs to go play Halo multi.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Dead Island 2 On Xbox Game Pass?
Love the game. I played it last year when it came out. The end boss is far too difficult though. Kinda ruined it for me from being near perfect.

Re: Xbox Reminds Fans 'More Than 10 Major Releases' Are On The Way
@CaptnTedo I kinda think the same about Hellblade 2. I thought the first was ok. Not convinced that part 2 is going to be that good.
