Be nice if they would just adopt the "Hall Effect" joysticks from the Dreamcast era that are very slowly being introduced via 3rd party. Drift is like 95% of the problems for people...
@Tharsman I said "party chat conversations should remain private". Party chat isn't just talking to a stranger in a COD lobby. And you contradicted your point by saying you can just mute and block them.
This sounds good on it's face, but I'm not a fan of it. People play games to relax, not walk on eggshells. And you'll get those who will bait people then record them. And party chat conversations should remain private. Sure, I'd love to see the more obscene stuff gone. But I'll take the good with the bad vs the alternative...
Game looks last gen, and they blame the SSD? Nah, I don't buy it one bit. Sounds like the dev doesn't know how to optimize well if that's an issue for them.
I don't get what all the hype is about with this game. I played the beta and wasn't impressed. The maps are way too small, to the point where you often get spawn camped. The graphics are incredibly last gen and so is the gunplay. Got old fast. I'm desperate for something new in the genre too and this ain't it for me...
@Cikajovazmaj describing something that isn't a monopoly then sharing the definition of a monopoly doesn't change that your description doesn't match it. Might want to wait until the 3rd place brand can even become the market leader before you even consider talking about monopoly dangers. Sony is a much higher monopoly risk right now, and even they aren't close yet.
@Chaotic_Neutral Redfall is an exceptionally bad example lol! You wouldn't want to play that at 120fps much less 30fps. Most XBox games manage 60fps just fine too. It's a matter of the type of game it is usually, with the exceptions of bad devs and Redfall.
@Chaotic_Neutral a 60fps racer is a lot more easily achievable than a 60fps open universe game. 99.99% of gamers can handle 30fps just fine. Sorry your situation is uniquely different, but it's not the standard and 60fps is not the standard yet on any console. It is for certain genres, but not for massive open world games yet clearly. Hopefully, they'll get a downrezzed, 60fps option or VRR feature that'll work for you at some point.
People love to crap on this soo hard, yet we all play the shizz out of Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. The odds are high this will be a great game that will have many hours spent on it by many people.
@BBB I take it you could never play videogames without getting sick up until this generation then? You act like 60fps was normal in previous generations...
It looks decent actually. But, I totally get the anger considering we haven't gotten a legit 3d PoP in forever. Coincidentally, the same situation with Metroid. Though I loved Dread.
"Windows phone" oh shut up Tom! Not even close to the same and this game is licensed shovelware. Can't stand these mongerers like Tom Warren and Jez. Even their profile pic tells you the type of person they are.
I'll probably stick with the higher resolution at 30fps given this game's pace being much slower, 60fps is not really needed. I like soaking in the gorgeous visuals. But yes, always good to have more options.

Re: Here's A First Look At Xbox's New Voice Chat Reporting Feature
@Tharsman yeah I'm sure Microsoft won't be listening at all... But hey, you can be a proud acolyte.
Re: Here's A First Look At Xbox's New Voice Chat Reporting Feature
@Tharsman or you could just block and mute as you say instead of having big brother Microsoft always listening in...

Re: Xbox Games With Gold For August 2023 Announced
Way to go out with a blip... I mean, both these games look decent. But, I really thought they'd bring in a big fish for the finale.

Re: Tencent Will Soon Become 'Majority Shareholder' Of Dying Light Developer Techland
@StonyKL I hear what you are saying, but you don't grade a market by employees, but by profit share.
Re: Tencent Will Soon Become 'Majority Shareholder' Of Dying Light Developer Techland
@StonyKL They effectively aren't lol! Microsoft being a larger corporation doesn't make XBox the gaming market leader...
Re: Tencent Will Soon Become 'Majority Shareholder' Of Dying Light Developer Techland
@StonyKL You act like MS is the market leader lol! Sounds like Blockbuster screaming at big bad Netflix and their "sTrEaMiNg SeRvIcEs"

"happy to announce the partnership" is right...

Re: Poll: Are You Buying The 'Early Access Upgrade' For Starfield?
The poll premise is wrong if it includes and expansion. It's not just for early access.
Re: Xbox Summer Demo Event 2023 Now Live, 40+ Games Available
