I’ve been enjoying this one so far the only annoying thing is 90% of other players don’t understand basic MMO boss mechanics…like instead of stacking with the group to avoid damage they will be running around still dps’ing…now i know what they mean by “hell is other people”
As much as I have a soft spot for the AC series…I’ll be waiting at least 6 months to play this like I do with all Ubisoft games in order to get it with a nice discount (tbh I’ll prob wait longer cause I like buying complete editions that include all DLC)
Has performance improved at all…cause last time I played Palworld I was getting crashes anytime i did dungeons even on Series X…granted this was over a year ago but still
Oh bummer I really hope they don’t come after my free copy of DB Fighter Z next…especially since I got it showing up in my “Owned Games” now when originally it wouldn’t
I always wondered if real people ever actually win these limited one or two off consoles…Ive seen these grand prize special consoles advertised in giveaways quite a bit over the years
I’ve owned every Xbox since the OG (and every PS since PS2) so regardless of what “form” the next Xbox takes I’m gonna buy it since it most likely will be the final Xbox and I want to be able to say I owned every generation of the console through Xbox’s lifetime
I’m not gonna lie as much as I dislike modern day Ubisoft I do have a soft spot for the AC series…also more games should offer 40 FPS balanced mode it’s a good middle ground
I use a VPN all the the time in order to buy CD Keys from regions like Brazil, India and Turkey because the game prices for these regions are way cheaper…in order to be on the safe side I’ll have to stop doing that for awhile tho and see how this plays out
I mentioned this last time but with the Yakuza games starting to leave and now even more this go around I’m convinced more then ever that the rumors that Sega wants to release there own streaming service are true
It’s a disgrace that they added Watch Dogs Legion to GP…there is a critical save bug that can completely reset ur progress and since the devs have abandoned the game and it’s no longer receiving updates it was never resolved
@txpistolpete restarting my Xbox worked and it’s now showing up under Owned Games in my library…gotta love a free game….between this and Allen Wake Remastered I’m two for two lol
@GoldenPants ur absolutely right it still does work…I just did it…the game just doesn’t show up under My Owned Games when viewing my library but if I go to the game in the Microsoft Store it says I own it…only problem is unless I leave it installed on my console I will forget I have it (since it doesn’t show u in ur games library list)
I use to love to snap a dubbed anime on since it didn’t require me to constantly watch the show like a subbed anime would and I could just glance over from time to time…I honestly prob wouldn’t have gotten through all one thousand episodes of One Piece otherwise
Sega is planning to launch a subscription service so I wouldn’t be surprised to see more of the Yakuza entry’s to be leaving…same reason why they delisted the Genesis collection from the storefront a few months ago
I’m working through Tales of Arise which I should be able to finish before it leaves GP next week…I def won’t have time for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night so I’ll pick that one up and the DLC while there both on deep discount
It’s a victimless crime unless Microsoft stops making hardware as an eventual result and then ur gonna have a few million victims with digital libraries and no modern console to play them on.
I’ve been with Xbox since the OG release so I’m definitely in it for the long haul…for better or worse I’m on this roller coaster with Uncle Phil to the bitter end, let’s rise to new heights of greatness or crash and burn spectacularly…either way it should be an interesting ride
The last time I played a Ninja Gaiden game was decades ago on the SNES and it was balls hard…I decided to start playing through the games in the Ninja Gaiden Master Collection to brush up on things before jumping into this new entry lol
Man I’m so stoked for every one of these games…im def gonna be playing all of them…Microsoft really is starting to nail this release cadence of delivering us a big quality new release almost monthly for GP users
I may have played this one back in the day cause it sounds very familiar but tbh there have been so many bad Star Wars games over the years they all start to meld together into one long retro gaming nightmare
I don’t even think it’s a matter of the games not tech selling well…I think that publishers have ridiculous quotas and think every single game has to be a massive hit or it “doesn’t meet expectations”
Microsoft will be lucky if they can keep the 35 million GP subs they have nonetheless triple that number by 2030? And where are these subs gonna come from…what’s that old saying “u can’t get blood from a stone”
As for the developer direct fourth mystery game…I don’t see how Ecco the Dolphin has “decades of history” but I could see how a sequel could align with Sega’s future plans to revitalize old IP’s like Crazy Taxi, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Jet Set and more
I guess beating this in an hour or so and then getting the auto refund from Microsoft for having less then 2 hours of play time would kinda be a jerk move lol
As much as I hate Ubisoft I’ve always had a soft spot for the AC games so I hope they deliver…plus February is a pretty stacked month for releases it’s prob safer to push it till March
@OldGamer999 yea the Switch 2 is suppose to feature DLSS so even tho it’s only suppose to offer PS4 level power with the upscaling it should be able to handle current gen games much more easily…the current Switch uses some type of Nvidia chip but does not feature DLSS
I kno only one new game for Ultimate is kind of a bummer but after Day 1 releases of big games like Stalker 2, COD Blops 6 and Indiana Jones this is the result of that and there is some required cost off setting to do to keep the service viable without a price increase
Whenever it does release let’s just hope they only release one console and not include some kind of parity nonsense to tie into the Series generation of hardware
I’ll have to remember to just leave a Gamepass game running for 15 mins even if I’m not trying to play it per se for these rewards…I’ll actually prob set a phone reminder daily to do it so I don’t forget since there is a streak multiplier involved and I’ll inevitably forget one day otherwise lol
