Hardline is still only a $1 for the next week i think so def worth a pick up for the single player campaign (which will still be playable after the delisting)
Well first the cheap upfront cost and then def exclusives (my PS5 basically gets used just for first party Sony games)…but also not having to deal with PC troubleshooting, drivers, and the extra tweaking and optimization to get a game running right
From a quick glance of the big posts on the Gamepass Reddit to gauge people’s reaction it seems that most people who have left still aren’t interested in returning (but the ones who have stayed subbed are welcoming the change) so we will have to see how this plays out
I finished Citizen Sleeper 2 as well before it left GP so I’ll def play this first one…ill also def play Revenge of the Savage Planet…I tried Hunt Showdown before but it didn’t really hook me (which is weird considering I like extraction shooters) so I might give it another shot before it leaves
Sega - Dreamcast Nintendo - 64, DS, Wii, Switch PlayStation - PS3, Vita, PS5 Xbox - OG, 360, One
These are all the ones I got at launch but I’ve owned pretty much every major console from the big 3 since my parents first got me a Sega Genesis as a kid (im 37)
@GeminiX53 I always check the CD key sites like Eneba before buying something through the Xbox marketplace…I kind of wish PlayStation would let us do that as well lol
I got rid of all my Guitar Hero and Rock Band stuff from the 360 days…I did however find a pair of Dance Dance Revolution mats for PS2 when I was cleaning out my parents attic a year or so ago
I’ve seen a lot of complaints on both the controls and lack of storage so they seem to be listening at least tho I imagine a lot of people would have liked a full key rebind setting added unless i missed that part
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
