Good Lord, it's 2024. 30fps? Lol. What a joke. If this game ever comes out, it will most likely review as a 6 or 7. And then six months after that, it will be released on the PS5 with 60fps and higher review scores.
Looks good, but not convinced knowing Microsoft's track record. Perhaps one day we will be able to play it. We all know everyone who has a PS5 will eventually. Lol.
Yes Phil, the end result does have to be better games. But, Microsoft cannot seem to make better games. Redfail, Starfailed, Hellblade 2, Scorn and many more - none are great games, only mediocre.
Lol, nope. I'll wait a few days to play it. I cannot imagine this game being real good anyway. I mean - Redfail, Starfailed, Scorned, Hellblade 2, all 7's. This will be no different.
Just looked over at Pushsquare to see if there was something on their homepage indicating "Playstation to announce big game coming to the Series X". The Xbox is at a point now where they are so pathetic and directionless, that's it almost pointless to take time and comment about how bad they are. Almost.
"Suffers Xbox exclusive delay." "It did end up releasing for other platforms." Help me make sense of this. What? And a delay is so embarrassingly common for the Xbox that I almost don't believe it. As if they are doing this just to bring some free marketing to a game that would otherwise go unnoticed.
"They cannot use that in their current marketing." Who said this? Lol. Microsoft owns COD. They can do anything they want. Good Lord, move on already. Microsoft is the boss, not Sony.
I loved ODST. Me and three of my gaming boys all took the day off from work and played it from beginning to end in one day. We also did that for Halo 3, Reach, 4 and 5. Unfortunately, it never happened with Infinite.
@OldGamer999Yup, I honestly cannot see the Xbox lasting with their current strategy. They are the Kings when it comes to announcing games, but that's it. Taking a decade to complete a game is unacceptable.
Poor Gamestop, still thinking they are relevant in 2024. Lol. If memory serves correctly, the last game I purchased from them was Skyrim, when they had a midnight release. That was 2011 I believe.
Unfortunately, everyone is hurting. Sony has reported the same. They took a 30% decline in hardware sales during Q3 and I'm sure Q4 is not much better. They have even stated that they are going to focus on subscribers over hardware sales at this point. I own both consoles and I will always be a console gamer first. Hopefully, we will see a few more generations of new hardware.
Say it isn't so. Lol. Sorry, but this game does not look good. I hope I'm wrong. And now, on August 12th, we are going to have the most comprehensive look yet? Good Lord, just stop.
Who is getting confused? Series X and S - the end. I mean, was there a poll taken previous to this article being posted? I'm more confused over people being confused.
@FarmDog08 I thought the campaign was great. Just as good as other COD campaigns. Not sure what all the bad reviews were for. And it was the only COD campaign that I ever played twice.
@Th3_Highlander I played every souls game. Got 100% achievements in Elden Ring and just finished the DLC. But, I don't think I want to go through that again, in any game. It took so much out of me. Lol. I did play part of Lies of P and did like it though.
My GP subscription expired. I'll stick with buying great single player games and playing them by myself. That's what I did when I first picked up the original Xbox. That gave me the greatest joy. Fortunately, I have a good amount of friends that are on the Xbox. Unfortunately, we almost never play games together. So, it doesn't matter to me.
I don't see the $19.99 value per month. And I could have sworn they recently increased from $14.99 to $16.99. So, no. I'm good. Perhaps in the Fall I'll buy a three month card.
I thought it was great....until the last hour. The end boss made the game feel broken. It wasn't challenging, it was unfair and felt broken. Score went from an 8 to a 5.
All games run better on the Series X, which is why Microsoft has the leading gaming platform. Apparently, anyone can say anything about anything, so I figured I would jump in.
I did buy it. I played it for about 5-6 hours. Just can't seem to progress. I got 100% completion/achievements on Elden Ring but just can't seem to get into this. Maybe I'll continue playing it at some point.
Resident Evil 4 Remake is arguably the GOAT. For me, Elden Ring is a close second, but the difficulty puts it in second place. RE4 is more accessible. And there is so much replay value. Definitely worth a pick up for anyone who has not played it.
Great game. Took me just over five hours. I would give it a 9. Not much I didn't like about it. The gameplay reminded me of Riddick - Butcher Bay and a lot of other parts of the game gave me Bioshock vibes. Especially, the music in the game (violins).

Re: Obsidian Says Avowed Is Running 'Really, Really Well' On Xbox Series X, Despite 30FPS Target

Re: Phil Spencer On Game Exclusivity: 'We Have To Anticipate There's Going To Be More Change'

Re: Obsidian Confirms That Avowed Runs At 30FPS On Xbox Series X|S
Within six months of release, Avowed will be 60 fps. Lol. Especially when it's announced that it's coming to the PS5.
Re: Indiana Jones And The Great Circle Is Playable Three Days Early With Xbox Game Pass Upgrade
Lol, nope. I'll wait a few days to play it. I cannot imagine this game being real good anyway. I mean - Redfail, Starfailed, Scorned, Hellblade 2, all 7's. This will be no different.
Re: Skyrim's Massive 'Skyblivion' Mod Looks Incredible, But It's Apparently Too Big For Xbox
Well then maybe not write about it on an Xbox website.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Launches For Xbox Series X|S This Halloween

Re: The Mortuary Assistant Dev 'Unbearably Upset' As Game Suffers Xbox-Exclusive Delay

Re: Xbox Shares Updated Release Schedule For Major Upcoming Games
I'll do the list for you guys - maybe Indiana Jones in 2024. There you have it.
Re: It's Official, Xbox's Avowed Has Been Delayed Until 2025
It's official, Microsoft is pathetic. Xbox is the joke of the industry. So many games in development, so few games being released. Lol.
Re: Xbox First-Party RPG Avowed Reportedly Delayed Until Early 2025
@abe_hikura Yep, you're spot on. And also, Avowed will probably come out and it will not even be that good.
Re: GameStop Takes Jab At Xbox 360 Store Closure, Backfires Immediately

Re: Xbox First-Party RPG Avowed Reportedly Delayed Until Early 2025
Lol, of course it's delayed. Microsoft honestly cannot do anything right. Next, Indy will be delayed.

Re: Four Years Later, People Are Still Getting Confused By Xbox's 'Horrible' Console Names

Re: It's Official! Call Of Duty: MW3 Joins Xbox Game Pass This Wednesday
@FarmDog08 I thought the campaign was great. Just as good as other COD campaigns. Not sure what all the bad reviews were for. And it was the only COD campaign that I ever played twice.
Re: Humble Games Announces 'Restructring' Plans As Employees Get Laid Off
Just a heads up, "Restructuring" is spelled wrong.
Re: Review: Flintlock: The Siege Of Dawn (Xbox) - New Game Pass RPG Hurt By Its Own Ambition
@Th3_Highlander I played every souls game. Got 100% achievements in Elden Ring and just finished the DLC. But, I don't think I want to go through that again, in any game. It took so much out of me. Lol. I did play part of Lies of P and did like it though.
Re: Review: Flintlock: The Siege Of Dawn (Xbox) - New Game Pass RPG Hurt By Its Own Ambition
Everytime I see "souls like" in a review, I immediately do not want to play the game.
Re: Talking Point: Two Months On, Did Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 Live Up To The Hype?
@Dampsponge What? That was painful to read. Try separating your sentences with periods.
Re: Talking Point: Two Months On, Did Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 Live Up To The Hype?
I played it for about two hours. Haven't gone back to it yet. It was ok. Definitely, the best looking video game out there. No doubt.

Re: Here's A Complete List Of All Price Increases Coming To Xbox Game Pass
Not worth it for me. At least not right now. Maybe in the Fall.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of The Callisto Protocol On Xbox Game Pass?

Re: Digital Foundry Explores Why Some Games 'Run Better' On PS5 Than Xbox Series X
@themightyant According to numbers, not beliefs. That is true. The Series X is more powerful than the PS5. Unless denominations have changed.
Re: Digital Foundry Explores Why Some Games 'Run Better' On PS5 Than Xbox Series X
All games run better on the Series X, which is why Microsoft has the leading gaming platform. Apparently, anyone can say anything about anything, so I figured I would jump in.
Re: 'Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster' Launches This September For Xbox Series X|S
@user0 I agree, but an auto-save feature does help. I imagine they made it more accessible for the average gamer, which I personally like.
Re: Ubisoft Is Making Multiple Assassin's Creed Remakes Alongside New Series Entries
Lol, let's have two AC games per year instead of one.
Re: Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree Sells Silly Amount Of Copies In Just Three Days

Re: Xbox Unveils Special 'Halloween In June' Sale, Live For The Next Few Days

Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Still Wakes The Deep On Xbox Game Pass?
Great game. Took me just over five hours. I would give it a 9. Not much I didn't like about it. The gameplay reminded me of Riddick - Butcher Bay and a lot of other parts of the game gave me Bioshock vibes. Especially, the music in the game (violins).
