Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Towerborne On Xbox Game Pass?

It doesn't do anything particularly amazing. It's just... kinda generic.

Even for a beat em up it's repetitive. And doesn't throw enough enemy types at you. Also the monetization is crazy. They're selling £15 skins on the games market. Way too much for a small game like this.

Re: Two Xbox Game Pass Titles Are Available This Week To Finish Off April 2025

Towerborne is almost my dream idea for a game. A beat em up with skills, classes, upgrades, loot and gear, randomized levels.
But as typical I get monkey pawed.

It's core gameplay is quite average. The combat doesn't blow me away, the art style and presentation of the game is a little too 'D.E.I Soy coded' and on Xbox there's quite a noticeable amount of input latency. Devs always have v-sync turned on in console versions for some reason.

You want a beat em up to be seen as responsive, smooth and snappy. Not sluggish, delayed and a little stiff.

Oh and the micro transaction paid skins are ludicrous prices £13+. Not a chance Microsoft.

Re: Poll: What Are Your First Impressions Of Oblivion Remastered?

The difficulty scaling is atrocious.

Adept = brain-dead baby mode
Expert = impossible tedious mode

They made Expert 3x damage taken and 0.5x damage dealt. In a single difficulty level. Ridiculous. Mods on pc already available to fix this but I'm on XBOX! Frankly, this is unplayable and I'm uninstalling LOL

Re: Xbox Is Already Achieving Massive Success With Oblivion Remastered

@Valhura their logic was probably the backlash there would be making people wait for not one but TWO elder scrolls games lol

Wed all be saying "it's been 8 years since you announced ES6, we haven't seen a single second and now we have to wait for a 4 remaster too!?"

So they just bypassed that and shadow dropped it. Much better than them announcing it maybe 4-6 months ago in my opinion.

Re: Five Ways The Switch 2 Reveal Has Been A Huge Win For Xbox

You can lend, borrow and RESELL the digital games on the carts.

Can you do that with a digital purchase on Xbox? No.

The Switch 2 edition upgrades are included free if you have a NSO Expansion pass which most people will have. It's like not having Game Pass and an Xbox. Unlikely, you'll have the subscription for online anyway.
