I really like it. Probably the best WWE 2K ever. So much to do, nice presentation and graphics is really great. Stars look as good as the stars in say NBA 2K and even the crowd looks good. And the new control system is so much better and easy to learn while sill allow for tactics. AI is good and there is a lot less bugs. All in all, if you like WWE and fighting games it is a must buy!
Like it a lot, performance is fine (in my opinion) with VRR. And the game is beautiful, not on a technical level but by its design and world building. It is a difficult game of course, but the possabilities to grind and sneaking helps. The dungeons have the usual annyoing Dark Souls corridors with camera issues and hitting walls and pillars instead of your enemy.
But it is so rewarding that you can not stop playing it.
It is a real letdown! The difficulty is ridiculous, even on "Legends" it is very easy. "Medium" in 2019 is harder then "Legends" in grid Legends. And even with all assists off the car is almost like on rails, in 2019 it is quite a bit different with and without assists.
Most track are identical to the 2019. And the graphics are not really an upgrade either. And the sound on Series X and headphones are really low, same settings in 2019 is loud and impactful.
Cutscenes in the story are mostly not linked to the actual racing. And since it is so damn easy you kind of laugh at the goals of the story races. Like beat a guy that is so bad you seem his car like 20 secs then he is 15 places behind you...
Your a rookie and should race with the teams star, that want to see how good you are. And a 5 year old could win that race, where the "star" ends up on 11th place...
I really like the game, both gameplay, graphics and sound is great. Story is exciting and voice acting is top notch. And so much improved after 1.5 so I am very happy what they did. This console generation have barely started, the pandemic and shortage of tech parts delayed the shift considerably. Soon enough we will see more impressive stuff.
Played it in 30 fps already, so all the extra eye candy will be sweet. But this update is way more than a graphics update. There is a ton of tweaks and added stuff. Will play from the beginning instead of continue on my old save. Loved it before, so should be even better now.
Personally I do not care much for 120 fps cause I can not feel or see a difference between 60 and 120 fps. And for games like Dying Light a locked 30 fps is fine in my opinion, but I certainly prefer 60 fps.
Horrible game.... need tons of fixes. Boring sterile Environments, annoying enemies, weapon feeling terrible "no feeling of power or weight", stutter on Series X.
Give me more Skylanders with toys to life, please. Such a great concept, still enjoying the games and the feeling of leveling up my physical toys and place them on the portal, and see them appear in my game. And I am almost 50 yrs old
Gave it a go last night and it was... not fun. Huge almost empty corridors, horrible choppy frame pacing, boring enemies and weapons with no "feeling". And since it is devoid of any blood or guts it felt like it was made for kids and made the weapon feel even less impactful. And that damn "flashers" is possible the most unfun and annoying enemy type ever. Who thought it would be fun to be blinded by white light for a longer amount of period??!!
Would be surprised if this is not "dead" in some weeks or so.
Tried to play Aliens: Fireteam yesterday but did not working. Just got a "Match is starting" and then nothing happened. Or can you not play solo or solo with bots? Or get match with randoms?!
Devkit or not. Trying the game on different TV sizes to make sure the UI is big enough should be the base minimum. The PC version have a slider for UI-size!
I hate it.... because the characters look like goofy toons, a result of high res versions of low poly models with new face textures from Cartoon Network!
It plays best handheld on Switch, cause it is built around that. You can gyro control the camera, take photo vertically and horizontally in a natural way. And the game look fantastic on the Oled Switch!
@Deadcow Agree! Kind of tired of this "beta" releases! It has odd menu lag, v-sync problem, and odd use of button mapping. Also for a fishing game it is strange to not use the rumble to enhanced the feeling... Uninstalled for the time being!
And it is not fair to compare it to Horizon on PS5. It is a game with enclosed areas where you fight maybe tops 3-5 enemies, where Halo is much more open world with air combat and a multitude of different enemies and vehicles. Both are excellent in there own way, but hardly similar games.
Love this game! But they had very limited funding. And official voices is just annoying after you heard them a couple of times. Music from the actual shows would have been nice. BUT the gameplay and foundation is mighty good and I have played it for 20 hrs already and having a blast. And the game have gaining a major traction in the e-sport communities and already there is several tournaments with price money. But if you like Smash-style fighting this is a solid 7-8 already.
I must say that I really enjoy Far Cry 6 on my Series X. It simply gorgeous and play so smooth in 60 fps. And the world building is really nice and the gun play excellent. And the new crazy pet companions are hilarious yet very helpful. I do not know what some peoples problems are with the game? Always "It is the same Far Cry as last time, no innovation...." and yet when they change things people complain. There is tons of fun things to do, so 60$ feels cheap to me, since I want it now. It is the best looking/running Far Cry-game ever on console. That alone is a huge benefits of FC 6!
Scarlet Nexus is a really great game, do not skip on this one if you like great action with some RPG elements!! Own it and it is a blast! Even more so after being patched a few times! Astria Ascending looks so beautiful.
I am also very excited for this game, seems to be just what I want! And it looks fantastic on Series X ! And the price is quite decent, I bought the physical release and it was cheaper then the digital, at around 36€!
Very much agree! I pre ordered the Series X version and I had to double check quite a few times to get the right version and still I am a bit worried they will mix up and send me the Xbox One and Series X version, instead of the pure Series X version!
Nice start on the next gen consoles with story mode tied in with some short tutorial and training sessions. Game looks even better this time! Like what I played so far.
First round was very promising, the feeling was great and the play was tight. Looking forward to test the Bots and some Training features this time around!
