Re: Tunic Publisher 'Concerned' About Subscription Services Like Xbox Game Pass

deadmaker

I believe Microsoft has enough experience by now to manage GP and sales in a way that neither will be harmed.

I don't think having an indie game on a subscription service means it will necessarily sell fewer copies or anything. Ultimately it will depend on how good their game is. I've played good games on Game Pass that weren't good enough for me to buy them, and I've played good games on there that made outright purchase them.

Re: Pick One: Which Of These Silent Hill Xbox Games Is Your Favourite?

deadmaker

It's a crappy move from Sony, unsurprisingly, to make a big title such as Silent Hill 2 exclusive.

However, Xbox is the only current gen console where I can play SH Origins, SH1, SH2 HD, SH3 HD, SH4 and SH Homecoming. It's a shame Downpour isn't on the store, but Xbox is practically the home of Silent Hill by now.

(Obviously Origins, 1 and 4 are playable through emulation, but it still counts!)

Re: 'Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name' Arrives In 2023

@UltimateOtaku91 As the guy above said, the games are generally lengthy. As a personal experience, I'd say you will probably end up being drawn to the side content anyways, but don't fret just because of it. These games are so good you will feel that 50 hours just flew by in the blink of an eye. However, even if you just ignore all substories, the main plot has enough to keep your interest throughout the series.

Difficulty wise, I played all of them on normal and they were ok. Except for the secret optional bosses in each game, which were a lot harder yet manageable, fights are generally on the easy side.

Re: Reaction: Death Stranding's Reception Makes Us Very Excited For Kojima + Xbox

deadmaker

Death Stranding is a game I've always been curious to try but couldn't because I don't own a Sony hardware, and just accepted it wasn't meant to be. Now it's coming to PC Game Pass and I still won't be able to play it because my PC is not good for gaming. I hope they somehow find a way to add it to Cloud Gaming. That would be the only way I could viably play the game.

Re: PlayStation Is Adding Its Own Version Of Microsoft Rewards This Year

deadmaker

@Decoy_Snake They might've not invented many of these things (and I never stated that), but made them in such a way that compels their competitors to move out of their comfort zones and work in favor of users rather than themselves so they don't fall behind. That's why Sony had to revamp PS Plus and why they're presenting a new rewards program, because these are things that work on the Xbox and weigh on consumers' decision.

Re: PlayStation Is Adding Its Own Version Of Microsoft Rewards This Year

@UltimateOtaku91 I haven't been an Xbox user for long, so I don't know who came up with a rewards program first. However, it's undeniable that this generation Sony has been walking on Xbox path. Studio acquisitions, a rental subscription service on par with Game Pass, first party games on PC, now a rewards program (read on Twitter they had this previously, but it must've been quite obscure, I suppose). I wonder what's next? Maybe we'll see the new PS Plus working on PC and smartphones soon.

Re: Resident Evil 4 Remake Revealed, Launches On Xbox In March 2023

deadmaker

@Banjo- Well I don't know why it's coming to PS4 and not Xbox One, but it's only natural old gen machines will lose support over time.

Maybe the PS4 version is justified by the number of consoles sold and still active, which is obviously much bigger than Xbox One. That doesn't mean Capcom has abandoned Xbox users, and I'm glad for it.

Re: PSA: Control And The Medium Both Leave Xbox Game Pass Next Week

deadmaker

@PhhhCough I'll keep playing, maybe I just feel like the beginning is kinda slow. Some things do annoy me and I'll have to live with them. For instance, the map is confusing as hell and the story so far is a mess and doesn't make any sense to me (or I am just too stupid lol). The gameplay is quite good though, no complaints there.

Re: PSA: Control And The Medium Both Leave Xbox Game Pass Next Week

deadmaker

I finished The Medium last week after knowing it'd be leaving GP soon. Didn't find it more than an average game though.

As for Control, I just began playing yesterday for like 2 hours or so, but I'm not enjoying the game tbh. Still trying to figure out where all the praises for this game comes from.
