@HonestHick Yeah I guess that makes sense, a shame though since I was really looking to get one asap. The quiet buttons alone was huge for me since I have my Xbox in the same room where me and my wife sleep.
Had some issues with the automated villains just standing idle so I'll wait for a patch and play AoE2: DE in the meantime. Played a lot of AoM back in the day so I'm very excited to play through it again!
I always found it weird that you got points for just starting a game. I'm sure a lot of people just launched it through cloud which is struggling with long queues lately.
@BacklogBrad They have released 3 patches since release which have all been tiny with some minor fixes. They still haven't managed to add an eat button or any other meaningful addition to the game in over a month.
30 fps is fine after you get used to it, but going from a 60+ fps game to 30 fps feels sooo so bad. Going to hold out for that performance update for now.
@junichi_0 Seeing how ESO's "subscription" and most recent expansion is separated from GP I think it's safe to say WoW will still need a separate subscription.
Not sure why there's any doubt about the deal going through or not. Is there anything other than Sony being nervous and lobbying against it that would suggest anything but a green light?
Never played Slime Rancher, sounds like people like it but damn that trailer made it look boring as hell. Is there more to it than sucking up slimes and putting them in cages or is the trailer just bad?
My 32 year old sister who has never owned a console or gaming PC in her life and is a massive Harry Potter fan is looking to buy something just to play this game. It's going to be a massive launch, hope they nail it!

It's a fantastic game, some jokers seem very weak but I'm far from an expert 😅 just wish it had cross progression on Android
Re: GTA 6 Raising Prices To '$80 Or Even $100' Could Cause Industry To Follow Suit, Says Analyst
Like many others I'd be "happy" to pay $100 for GTA VI but I can't think of any other game I'd pay that amount of money for.

It's alright but the campaign missions got pretty tedious when all you do is trying to outrun the alarm over and over again.
Re: The FTC Is Concerned About Xbox's Recent Batch Of Employee Layoffs
Why are they so hellbent on blocking the merger? It seems like they are the only ones opposed to it at this point.

Re: Starfield Update 1.7.36 Now Live, Includes FOV Sliders & Performance Improvements

Re: Starfield Update 1.7.36 Now Live, Includes FOV Sliders & Performance Improvements
That's it after a month of feedback and data gathering? Very disappointing.

Would be great if it actually tracked Bing searches, sometimes it tracks a couple but most of the time it tracks none 😖
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 3-4)
I'll be playing Eastward, loving the art style and relaxed combat and puzzling!
Re: Talking Point: As Of Right Now, What's Your Xbox Game Of The Year For 2022?
@Gkobz Agreed! Been playing a couple hours per day since release. It's a perfect game to relax to with some music in the background after work.

Re: Medieval Dynasty Team Responds To 'Disappointing' Performance On Xbox Series X|S
30 fps is fine after you get used to it, but going from a 60+ fps game to 30 fps feels sooo so bad. Going to hold out for that performance update for now.
