Probably because Slime Rancher 2 is on Game Pass since launch day... Just talking smack but for real I would rather have that then the old game on sale
@Titntin I am on the last boss now. And the level of difficulty in certain spot definitely raises the bar from the beginning of the game. I wouldnt saythe AI is above par, but I also wouldnt say it is anything less then the last assassins creed game or pretty much any game. Video game AI is dumbed down on purpose. They could easily have to proform like a well trained assassin, but being a computer and all, that just would not be fun. They actually program it to not pick up the loot that we are gong to grab, and stuff like that. But it also is definitely able to be programmed to be unstoppable against us. I have a feeling a big improvement in AI is going to be right around the corner, because visuals are getting to be less and less of a jump and they are working on AI for a lot of stuff now.
@Titntin "Its a colourful world I might wish to explore if the gunplay wasn't so poor." The gunplay was "so poor" in your opinion? Were you expecting Battle Field type mechanics? Because for the style of game, it does offer a nice variety of unique style/play style weapons once you get into the game a bit. Paired with the Jet Pack and power slide, The gunplay really is not the part I find to be lacking in my opinion. My biggest con for the game would definitely have to be enemy variety. I have taken out 5 of the Drug Lords and there are still the same yellow big eyeball head grunts constantly and for just how beautiful and unique the world/setting is in the game. It would have been nice to see maybe like 3 different factions to give it a bit more variety. Actually their was the ant enemies at the start of the game... They should have mixed them in more through out the game.
Gunplay though, not nearly as poor as you are making it out to be.
@FraserG Thanks got it, I was thinking I could New Zealand it to play right now this morning. I guess I will get to play this evening. Appreciate the info though!
@stvevan Really? I thought I read that the Series X was the top sold and the Series S after that...
Also spoken like a true Sony fan, Nintendo doesnt count to you stvevan?? LoL cause the only thing I can find is that The Switch won November.
Plus you can say "a discounted Series X/S" as some sort of knock. But if you asked ANYONE if PS would lose the sales numbers in November, The month that God of War Ragnarok's release. Also I just looked real quick n I am not seeing any real numbers at all saying the PS5 outsold anything... So unless you got a link, sounds like you doin nothing but huffin n puffin and blowin hot air.
Party Animals looks fun. But it looks so much like that other game pass game thats been out for over a year or so.... LoL drawing a blank suddenly. Hahaha anyways I was more excited the first time I saw it, I still will give it a go whenever it does come out.
@BBB You can say you have "different preferrences" and that you only prefer AAA games. But saying that Xbox is not putting in enough consideration for big budget games is kinda comical. Xbox has done nothing but invest in it's first party AAA studios since 2018 and significantlyy so in 2020 by buying Bethesda and presently buying Activision.... I don't see any other platform holders throwing close to $70 Billion down on AAA studios
@Dezzy70 So you are saying you would switch to PC? Because PlayStation only put out 3 games in a full year, and they were multiplats, with Santa Monica Studios confirming GoWR was a game modeled around getting the most out of the PS4... not the PS5. Game Pass may not have had first party games this year (besides grounded n Pentament) but PS only had 3 first party games... first party is like 1% of games every year. Game Pass brought a ton of quality games to it this year and continues to this month. Your whole ultimatum that Xbox better have 3 banger first party games that are in your opinion high quality, just sounds like you want a reason to complain instead of be grateful for all the games we have.
I have a PC, Steam Deck, and a Series X. They are all great IMO
@Would_you_kindly Yeah first thing I noticed, he was not ever with Bungie just 343. N even with Infinite falling on hard times, I still think this was 343's best Halo game. Hopefully someday they will have the content
I really do notlike the reviewers on this site. You guys reviewed Plague Tale Requiem really bad and now this. My favorite YouTube reviewers are all had good things to say about Evil West, and were high on Plague Tale.... N IMO Plagues Tale was amazing. I just got Evil West a little bit early in the mail from Game Fly so I will find out for myself today...So far the game has me hyped and looks great on the Series X
@themightyant Wow I read your comment wrong!! I thought you said the Expansion hard drive was actually going to be on sale during Black Friday!! Definitely agree that the Seagate cards really need to get a major price drop, I have already fully decided I am not buying one until they do bring them down $50 or more, I want the 1TB for $150 or less
@somnambulance Most of this list is not leaving... this is a preddiction. All based on it being the year anniversary of it joining game pass. So I wouldn't worry about Stardew Valley and Among Us really
@BlackMayge Wow you knew about AH for the last 5 years?! I have been following AH for about 3 years, I was Soooo stoked when they first showed AH at the Xbox Series showcase and it showed that it was coming to Game Pass! It's so epic to see all of the ups n downs this games production has been through, and now soon to finally come out... This game is going to blow up thanks to Game Pass n it's uniqueness/high quality
People saying Sony has better compression tech than Xbox... Even if that was the case, their is zero chance it is over 50 times better than Xbox's compression. The Series X has more power and more software features. That is not the compression, but their is no excuses for a patch being 50gb vs less than 1gb. The devs really probably should not have even pushed the patch through until they optimized it properly for all platforms.
If it was the other way around and PS had a 50gb update I would feel the same way. These next gen consoles have proper SSD hard drives, but both PS n Xbox don't come with enough storage to be having games that start at 100gb then put out patches that are 50gb, that's messed up
Kinda a weird realization, Comedy is not really a big genre when it comes to games... like at all. N you would really think that it would be honestly. I am super excited for this game, even more stoked it is in Game Pass and a console exckusive! I forgot about that until this short interview.
Ponies are going to come out bashing the game at release. Then 3 to 6 months later when it comes to PS, they will be jocking the game hard. Very similar to Tunic earlier this year haha
Second Exctinction... I remember being SSSOOO excited for that game to come out haha! And it was certainly an early access gamel I really wanted that game to get its finishing touches! It did have potential, just needed more content n a little polish.
I wish the devs of the game the best of luck, and I hope the game does get its finishing touches
It's funny that on this very siote maybe 6 months ago they had a detailed report going over how Toys for Bob and Beenox both have already been fully dissolved with the studio lead not working their anymore. At the time they had been integrated with the Diablo 4 team before going over to CoD. In that article the former members of Toys for Bob straight up stated that their was pretty much not possible to get the original TFB team back together sadly.
The way PlayStation is acting and causing all this trouble for the deal purposely.... even when Xbox has offered to keep the game on PS for 3 extra years after this ongoing deal....
Now they find out Sony is cock blocking CoD on Game Pass no matter what untill 2024/2025?
Hahaha Dude Sony is making their bed... And Xbox is going to fill it up with fresh steaming dog sh it for being such A Holes.
That 3 year deal needs to be off the table completely, if they are going to cock block Game Pass. That, or Xbox just needs to pay whatever it costs to break the deal between Activision n Sony.
LOL well CoD was goi9ng to be on PS until 2027.... LOL Jim Ryan has talked enough ***** that they "innadiquetly" lost any handouts from Xbox on anything going forward... I'm honestly glad to see Xbox have a little backbone
@Zucaritas Thats howyou interpret this article? You should look up the interview Colt Eastwood or Xbox Era did with a folunnding creator, I am really excited forthis game, you mayhave not heard of it, bujt they were number one wish listed game on steam recently... that is huge, it is not a game no one will play when it comes to Xbox early next year
What has me shocked... is that CyberPunk is available on PS+ right now... But not on XGP!
Hahaha PlayStation straigt up booted CyberPunk off their online store for half of a year. Yet PS+ gets CyberPunk, but Xbox Game Pass doesnt? Very weird, I figure it would be Game Pass or niether, not PS+ first.
When I saw this headline today on Kinda Funny's Youtube channel headline, I just started laughing my ass off and couldnt help but think, "of course this is getting delayed again!". I am surprised I didnt see this coming. But I guess since it has been already delayed for so damn long, I thought the game would have been ready to go by now.
I am guessing the preorders were super low so they decided everyone else in the industry was right, and launching this ***** the day before GOW Ragnarok probably was a horrible idea.
