Oh you mean safe like the teams you closed and the people you fired?

Well done so all this Perfect Dark Hype for nothing. What about Contraband? Clockwork? Judas? Idk, this is a real gut punch. Sad just sad

@VoidPunk Perhaps that's the goal? Get out of hardware and double down on software. Idk whatever the path forward is for xbox. We'll see one way or another..... the only constant thing in the world is change. Oh god no I'm getting philosophical. Have a nice day 😁

I try to not be a downer. Like really I am. Xbox are just making it needlessly hard. But then again I'm not in charge of a multimillion corporation or or brand. I wouldn't wanna be in Phil Spencer's shoes. Unless we're talking paycheck....I'd take that one🤣. All jokes aside. All we can do is wait and see. It seems though the we'll have to rethink what xbox means in the future.

I think they announced it way too early. No infos just there's a title animation. I'd rather have them show stuff when they actually have something to show. Because is just needless hype mongering..... idk. In short show me some gameplay or get off the pot. Same with contraband....

As a swiss citizen all I cay say is.....Hi y'all have a nice day.

@FraserG Glad I could help 😊

I think there's a typo in the article:
It's a multiplayer third-person shooter featuring PvP and PvP elements.

Shouldn't it be PvP and PvE? Or else the second PvP is kinda redundant. Otherwise eat im gonna keep my eye on this one 😊. Have a nice day

@Ricky-Spanish oooohhh that reminds me I gotta finish that one. I got sidetracked recently. But man really digging the lore as someone who is not at all familiar with the deep south. Love the way the boss music tells the story of the encounters.

I never finished the first one. Hour long cutscene paired with, in my opionion, overly boring gameplay. Even though this one sounds liek the gameplay may be more exciting, I'm not gonna bother with it.

It sucks for those that are being let go. But I think it's hardly surprising considering the negativity fostered by the main creative mind behind it. Criticism isnt meant to put you down even if soem use it like that. Criticism is a tool and a valuable one at that. But if you shut down any Criticism and you release a broken product, well you reap what you sow......

@Dan1283 Could be. Then again many adults are playing fifa (not that there's anything worng with that) and displaying horrible behaviour.... But in all fairness if a multiplayer games has as much as a hint of competitiveness, then you'll have toxic players.

Nah not gonna bother with this one. Im not into football and sadly it seems the playerbase is behaving as expected. Hopefully all of you who do play it (or plan to) get amazing teammates and have tons of fun

As a solo player, this is a skip as it is balanced for a full party.

Timed exclusives are just stupid. Either go exclusove all the way or go multiplat. But this timed nonsense doesnt give any substantial benefits and at worst hurts the devs in reputation and sales..... IDK just my feelings on the matter.

Ah yes, the good old release now fix later approach. Yes game development is hard. Yes things ccould alaways be better. But.....Its really ridiculous that we now need patches uppn patches just to get the Game into an ACCEPTABLE state. I'm not talking about QOL features that. Im talking basic fetaures that should be standart. Also I feel that calling it a GTA-Like is false advertising. The only thing that connects these two is that a few devs from GTA worked on minds eye.

But why show soemone "playing" it with a controller? Whats the point then? Just have it as a presentation without the fake gameplay. What do you gain from having someone fake playing? It just confuses people and thats why many think the game will be like this. They could have made things cleare especially if we keep the cyberpunk 2077 launch controversy in mind..... Just my 2 cents. Why is it so hard for devs or publishers to be honest and not obfuscate things?

Is that the one with AI voice "actors"?

So they kill the game and just to twist the knife, they add in cool maps from the franchises they took the operators from? What is wrong woth ubisoft? Seriously you launch the game in auite a bad state with horrible netcode. You give it barely a year to get things going and then you kill withba content drop that screams, look what we could've done. -.- Goodjob Ubi. I get that not every game can suceed but this is ridiculous. Meanwhile they have a rollerderby kinda game thats still going despite barely anyone talking about it......

Absolutely not. After switch 2, Console gaming will take a backseat for me anyways. Costs are rising and returns are diminishing.

Ofcourse it's scalpers.....

They were never available where I live so yeah....

@Romans12 that makes it sound worse imo. I mean couldn't they just upgrade the ultime version instead of making a whole new version? Idk I just find it very hard to get excited for this when so many "reputable sources" said we'd get the trilogy. It reminds me of the wind waker HD/twilight princess HD topic on the switch....

So another remake of the first game? So like the last of us? Sigh. Just port ultimate edition and give us remakes of 2 and 3. Is it really so hard to keep a series together? 🙄

Extraction shooters aren't my thing. It looks good I give it that but if I'd play it. It would end up like Helldivers for me. I played Helldivers for 2 hours and lost interest and I feel liek thos would be much the same.

Captain Blood looks and vibes like an xbox 360 and I'm all for it. Metal Eden looks great too

If it were at the beginning of the generatiion I'd still consider it. But now? Nope. A new console being expensive is expected but this thing has been out for a while and now you raise the prices? Just stupid.

puts tinfoil hat on Microsoft wants out of the console market. So they raise the price to ruin their sales even more. That way they can say "oh we didnt sell enough blah blah blah. We cant make consoles because nobody buys blah blah blah." They are gonna put the blame on us consumers for not blindly buying. removes tinfoil hat Im glad I got my X close to launch... this is just pure greed from team green.

Tried it but it's not for me. I like puzzle games but the roguelike/roguelite whatever aspect is what I really dislike. There are few roguelikes I like so yeah.

@NishimuraX it is as they say, anything in moderation. 😊 Glad to you hear you're doing better. 😃

@PhileasFragg yeah the framerate can be moody to say the least. But man what an experience that game is.

Ah yes jeff the windwaker and twilight princess ports are real grubb. Why is he relevant? Guys I can make unsubstantiated rumours too. Did you know that gta 6 will come to switch 2? See? Not that hard..... ok you got me i really really dont like mr grubby.

Looks colorful.... that's about it. We'll obviously see more on the 12th.

South of midnight is really good. Of you already know your southern folklore itnmight be even better. As a swiss citizen two toed tom and the likes are an unknown to me so its interesting to learn about these creatures and haints. You can turn off the stop motion effect for gameplay, not for cutscenes though so keep that in mind if you get motion sick easily.

@ChopperCampbell sniff damn onions 😭

@ChopperCampbell havent completed the story yet but man some topics get dark/deep and it's done in such a human non patronizing way.

Here in switzerland base games already cost 80 chf so the nintendo prices are sadly just normal now. Gaming is now a luxury hobby. Rich people only. Yay.... I'm so tired of being price gouged at every corner. Even my little escapism is becoming unsustainable. Oh and lets not forget how often games are flatout broken on launch..... 😪

Ah so this is why I cant access my library. Neat....

Doom eternal was to fast paced for me, so the more slower/tankier approach sounds very much up my alley.

Played through the base game and concluded that this was my first and last monster hunter game. This series isnt for me but glad so many can enjoy it

@Gmork Inzoi has a huge hype surrounding ever sind it was announced. The sims community is huge and I zoi is touted as the sims killer. So yeah it's not that surprising that it's pushing huge sales number. AC shadows on hte other hand is also available on ubisoft connect and is available on ubisoft+ (subscription service). Many ubisoft games on steam have Issues because you need to link ubisoft connect and steam and this leads to many problems. This is not just the case for AC shadows but every ubisoft game. I have shadows on ubisoft connect and not on steam due to this connection/linking issues. So steam numbers for ubisoft games aren't the tell all.
Edit: also franchise fatigue is a factor too.

@Millionski God stalker 2 legitimately made me angry with how bugged it was. It was so bad, (stuck in auests npcs not loading, perfoamnce all over the shop) that I stopped palying and havent touched it since and probably never will.

I like it better than valhalla which is a suprise to me considering I love the old norse setting/mythology. Also lets not forget ubisoft games thanks to ubisoft connect often have issues on steam. I got it on ubisoft connect and have had no issues so far. Though im not very far in yet. Performance has been flawless. Only thing I don't like is the pricing amd usual ingame store nonsense, but it is what it is.

Man they are doi g everythi g in their power to make me not want to play it. Roguelite and only being able to play alone or with 2 randoms is such a bad idea. What makes the souls games so amazing is their hand crafted nature. Also coop its either 3 or nothing what ki d of bs is that? C'mon now. People modded elden ring so you can play together. You're telling me a handful of people can do what a big company cant? I just hope taht all who get it have fun and get a wonderful experience. I'll be waiting for the next offering.

Call me a pessimist but I predict it WOULD be an 8/10 game, but it will launch broken and will need extensive fixing. I just have this feeling......

The forced parity between series X and S is a double edged sword. If the devs say they have issue with the memory pool then yeah. Well done Microsoft. If they lifted the forced parity no doubt we'd have the game already.

Voted Fable because I wanna see what playground games does with the IP. But south of midnight is my main interest because of the stop motion style and just the flair it seems to be going for. I love a game where you hunt mythical creatures and learn about their existence. Especially from cultures far removed from my own

Wait are we switching from the doomer timeline to the hopefull timeline? All I ask for is no BS with this one capcom please. Okami holds a very special place in my heart.

I need an offline mode to even consider it

@PsBoxSwitchOwner nope it's the social media age. We must post every thought we have the instant we have it. If people would just take a second to think what they're about to post we wouldn't have so many controversies and stuff.
