Re: Bethesda Artwork Reveals First Mention Of Ghostwire: Tokyo On Xbox Series X And S

@heksesang @BAMozzy sorry my response was a bit emotional to give an opposite extreme to the original extreme that it’s a fanboy thing.

But yeah I agree it isn’t for everyone definitely. My brother turns it off too because it’s very distracting for him and he has chronic issues with his hands.

To me and many others it’s just a bit of fun immersion that can range from “the controller tiptoes when you use the spider drone in spider-man, isn’t that absolutely cute?!” To “oh wow how awesome is it that the controller can rumble from individual points so it can emulate from which side stuff happens ingame, isn’t that awesome?!”

It’s definitely not for anyone but to me acting like it isn’t something that xbox would benefit from having too is just silly. Options are always better to have instead of going “most people don’t care so it’s a gimmick that isn’t missed by anyone”. I rather see it in the next xbox controller as a togglable option than xbox missing out on something both Nintendo and Sony are doing well.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Last one of the maingames I need to beat, after that I only have Dead Souls left for the spin offs (counting Judgment, Lost Judgment and Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise).

Besides that Fortnite should have a end of season event this weekend so probably that too.

After those are done I might pick Life is Strange 2 back up or I might start with Strangers of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origins

Re: Soapbox: Gears Of War 2 Deserves 'The Last Of Us' Style Remake

@jcboyer515 I didn’t say it’s a gen 9 game performance wise.
The artstyle and graphical style could fool people into thinking it’s current gen. Any screenshot basically.
Let’s see this was a free upgrade that just made the ps3 game native 4K and 120fps People that never played it would’ve thought it was a brand new, albeit lower end, ps5 or XSX game.
Hope that example works better.

Re: Soapbox: Gears Of War 2 Deserves 'The Last Of Us' Style Remake

A lot of games deserve a The Last of Us style remake, on all 3 platforms, both first party and third party.

You know which game definitely didn’t deserve one? The Last of Us. That game can fool people into thinking it’s current gen. Both the ps3 and ps4 version IMO.

Eitherway I’d love the uncharted trilogy, halo trilogy, zelda ocarins of time, the infamous games, gears of war and metroid prime 1 to get remakes like these.

Still trying to get the platinum trophy for Ghost of Tsushima and do the expansion.

After that I’ll either go back to Life is Strange 2 and continue that game or start we ❤️ Katamari which arrived in the mail a few days ago.

Oh and the fortnite dragon ball super event ofcourse, still want to unlock that glider and the emote and still have 26 levels on the battlepass left until I’m lvl 200.

Re: Talking Point: How Would You Compare The New PS Plus To Xbox Game Pass?

darkswabber

Monthly games is definitely ps+.
The service is definitely gamepass.
The legacy games within the service is definitely ps+.
The overall price/quality ratio including taking the GWG upgrade path into consideration is definitely gamepass.

Overall I’d say I prefer gamepass but I’ll see how both stack up in a year or 2 when the ps premium part of ps+ has picked up the pace with retro additions and the rumoured native ps3 emulation.

Re: Xbox Game Pass Will Reach 100M Members Thanks To ActiBlizz & Cloud Gaming, Claims Pachter

darkswabber

Remember when pachter predicted the pc and console market would die due to mobile gaming, the ps4 would lose to the Xone but both would sell poorly and the switch would flop due to its gimmick?
Ps4 is the 2nd best selling home console of all time and 3rd best selling gaming device. Switch is the 3rd best selling home console and 4th best selling gaming device.

EDIT: don’t take pachter seriously.

Playing yakuza 5 ps4 at the moment on my ps5 which I’m about halfway through with.

Also bought tiny tina’s wonderlands at a sale for ps5 for €25 which I’ll be playing after. It’s actually my first ps5 game I bought myself new/not used since my launch pre orders, all my other pickups where either used or gifts.

Besides that I am still playing fire emblem fates birthright on my 3ds, animal crossing new horizons on my switch and forza horizon 5 on my XSX.

Re: Hideo Kojima & Xbox Partnership Still Seems To Be Going Ahead

darkswabber

@suikoden am I a playstation fan if I’d say he’s overrated? I like all consoles and my favorite console maker doesn’t even make consoles anymore sadly (sega) and I’m fully multiplatform. But I’ve never been a fan of his games and think they’re not as good as people say they are. I like kojima as a person tho, funny guy, knows how to bait and mislead people in really funny ways.

Re: Review: Shredders - An Ideal Snowboarding Game For Xbox Game Pass

darkswabber

@FraserG I beat the game today and wanted to ask, did you encounter any framerate issues or small moments where the game freezes for like 1 or 2 seconds in your playthrough?

Aksing because they became so frequent for me from the midway point to the end that it soured my entire experience sadly. Overall loved it but that was just unnacceptably bad IMO.

Re: Talking Point: How Many Games Have You Bought In 2022 So Far?

darkswabber

Not counting gifts I bought 17 games.
3 digital switch games. 14 physical games including 1 3ds game, 2 ds games, 1 xbox one game, 2 ps4 games, 2 ps3 games and 6 switch games.
Also 7 gifts for my birthday of which 6 where switch games and 1 was a psp game.

Also not counting these yet since they won’t arrive until next week but I ordered all 3ds FE games excluding the incredibly expensive fates revelations. So that’s another 4 games. So 28 games total.

Playing tokyo mirage session #FE encore on the switch after I dropped the wiiU version about 3 years ago.
Also some races in forza horizon 5 on the XSX.

Beat bravely default on the 3ds yesterday and it was absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to play bravely second and bravely default 2.

No ps5 this weekend.
