Not surprised, it will do well on PS…that premium edition there getting is a good deal…both the new DLC and Shattered Space and 1k creation credits plus some skin/bonus item packs….not to mention the game is in a much better place now
I’m only happy with Ultimate cause I’m paying about $10 a month for it by getting it from the different CD Key sites…if I had to pay full price I would have dropped to a lower tier long ago
Idk for what it sounds like there going for here I just can’t imagine this thing costing less then $1500…I mean this console sounds great in practice but u gotta actually get people to buy it lol
I was looking at pre built gaming PC’s awhile ago and if u want something decent ur looking at the $2,000/2,500 price starting and this was before all the Gen Ai and Ram shortages so I’ll be very interested how they will play this price wise…not to mention what has been said already that if everyone is buying there games on Steam how does that help Xbox they won’t be able to keep the price down as a loss leader towards sales in there marketplace
I’ll preface saying I love Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo equally and refuse to play favorites…but I am concerned most with Xbox out of the big 3…but that doesn’t change the fact that I’m still optimistic about there future and always try to see the good in things even when it gets bad
It was the Survival Horror that made this series so great but Capcom over the years lost the plot with adding a more heavy action focus…I knew when they announced 2 main characters that it would be a balancing act between the two to try to cater to everyone…this series needs a full return to its roots
I enjoyed the first game quite a bit…the jokes landed with me and the story didn’t overstay its welcome…I’ll be curious how the sequel turns out since Justin Roiland is no longer with them and he came up with the premise and was heavily involved in the creation of the first game
Love it…maybe I can actually try and knock out some of my backlog instead of trying to play catch up and finish (or try) a bunch of GP games before they leave the service lol
I remember when I first heard about this I couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that Game Freak was doing this…needless to say I’m even more excited now
Orcs Must Die wasn’t as good as the previous entry …plus even tho I liked the OG Citizen Sleeper the sequel added a mechanic where the dice can degrade and break which I wasn’t a fan of tbh
I’m not a fan of how Xbox requires u to use one of there proprietary plug and play SSD’s from Seagate or more recently WD Black so I don’t have one for my Series X…my PS5 on the other hand I have one for but they let u use any M.2 card as long as the read speeds are high enough…yea the PS5 installation is a little more involved but I’ll take that over the prohibitively high cost of Xbox cards any day
Me and my friend loved the Splinter Cell games back in the day…we even tried recreating Sam’s iconic split jump in his basement and my buddies leg went right thru the basement dry wall lol his parents were pissed
Even out my time between consoles more…I favored Xbox (2/3) to PS (1/3) in terms of total play time between the two…oh prob upgrade from my Switch oled and get a Switch 2
I’m still mad at Amazon Games for ending support for New World…as good as Lara looks in that freebie outfit it’s gonna take more then that to earn back any kind of goodwill from me
I agree with the poor reveal placement having it at the end but I will def still be checking this out…I tend to always give these type of games a shot but typically end up dropping them sooner than later
The 360 era were some of the more peak gaming years of my life…to be young and free of responsibilities was great for gaming tbh I wish I had that same amount of free time today to play
I ride a subway and two busses to work so I’m def a fan of Play Anywhere…once I’m back at home I pretty much exclusively rock the couch/console combo tho sometimes I’ll use a handheld laying in bed
I got my Series X on Black Friday 2 years ago for only $350 (it included Diablo 4) through Walmart online…seeing these price increases over the years makes me realize how good of a deal it really was considering the price now is approaching double what I payed for a new console
I’ll be checking this one out purely based on my weakness for rogue lites/likes…u would think burnout for the genre would have set it after all these years but surprisingly not
I know a month or so ago I saw a Mr Matty video who got to see it first hand and said it looked like it desperately needed to be delayed due to its current state
I know I’m in the minority but as a Ubisoft fan I can understand why there passing on this given all the bad press of this past year (more so then usual lol)
I missed out on Splitgate the first time around so def going to try it this time…also I’m hoping that we can link our existing accounts for ZZZ so my progress from PS can transfer over
I’m in the inner city and my internet is super fast so i just stick to deleting and re downloading games rather then forking out the cash for added space
As a self professed Souls junkie and all around FromSoft shill anything by them would usually be an automatic Day 1 purchase for me but I’m gonna hold out and see how well it reviews for given it’s strong multiplayer focus
I have almost 170k in points so it’s nice that I’ll be able to redeem $100 chunks when the next Xbox comes out (I should have around between 250k-300k by then for a massive $250-300 discount on the next gen console)
I bought the original Remnant on a sale cause I didn’t have time to play it before it left GP…looks like I’ll be doing the same with its sequel…I’ll def be playing Cassette Beasts and Slayer X (tho I read mixed reviews on this) before they leave tho
Tin foil hat time : What are the chances Activision is getting rid of all the hacking companies so they can double dip and sell hacks to there own game under a different company name 🤓
I’m all for digital these days…im too lazy to have to devote a bunch of physical space for discs that never see the light of day 90% of the time after I beat the game then there just sitting collecting dust
