Those two that wanted to start trouble over at the 'PS Now for $1' article are at it again. This time they actually managed to derail a discussion about a perfectly newsworthy article regarding an Xbox Wire announcement, and how this new Xbox initiative contrasts with a rival platform's stance on preserving legacy content. Now this comments section looks like it came from Push Square. Thanks a lot. ๐คจ
@LtSarge I don't understand it when the same people that complain about The Medium having "clunky controls" also wish that they don't get to make a "mediocre Silent Hill game, and kill the franchise for another decade." If they had actually played a Silent Hill game, they'd know just how clunky the controls are in that series. ๐คญ
@blinx01 @UltimateOtaku91 You fellas have it wrong. Every Hololive V-tuber has a genre they specialize on. Botan happens to be a lifelong Xbox gamer and her focus are FPS, TPS and adventure games. Xbox absolutely nailed this one.
I don't see this as a problem. Both games are backwards compatible and could be further enhanced using ML and the FPS Boost feature. I agree with Sakaguchi-san in that resources would be better allocated in creating something new. He sounds tired, though. ๐ช
@NEStalgia "But with Game Pass spreading the funding around, they may have stumbled upon the way to keep that high risk content from actually presenting financial risk."
This is almost word for word what Dinga Bakaba from Arkane Lyon said. I think we might be getting another Dishonored. ๐
@NEStalgia It helps that the Switch is the sole handheld option and everybody else has trouble meeting demand for their own hardware. I'm surprised Nintendo gamers are so affluent, though.
The phrase "good working environment" makes me uneasy in the context it's used. I hope she didn't have to go through an 'unpleasant' experience at Tango. I wish her the best.
@Stocksy This is the same nonsense we heard from fansites like Push Square, that somehow Instagram likes and YouTube views are now valid engagement metrics. Remember when the PS5 logo reveal set the world on fire? Yeah, me neither.

I also feel that DOA is the keeper of the Virtua Fighter series' flame. Xtreme Beach Volleyball is an entirely different beast, though. ๐
Re: The New Map In Among Us Has A Seriously Cool Halo Easter Egg
For some reason, I keep confusing this with Fall Guys.

I like women. They're pretty! ๐
Re: 505 Games Has Acquired The Ghostrunner IP For A Huge Sum
That's a good get. Funny how Ghostrunner and The Ascent look more like the cyberpunk games we wanted to have.

I don't see this as a problem. Both games are backwards compatible and could be further enhanced using ML and the FPS Boost feature. I agree with Sakaguchi-san in that resources would be better allocated in creating something new. He sounds tired, though. ๐ช

Yes, I'd like me some more XCOM. ๐๐ป
Re: Following Wreckfest's Free Xbox Series X Patch, It's Now Getting A $10 Upgrade On PS5
Free res bump > paid upgrade. That being said, at least they're not selling you the game you already bought once again.
Re: These Games Are Coming To Xbox Next Week (March 30 - April 2)
I'll be busying myself with Narita Boy, thank you very much.
Re: PlayStation Now Offers $1 Month Trial To Rival Xbox Game Pass

The lawn mowers themselves look very detailed, I'll give 'em that.

I'm glad you went with Locke instead of Sabin. Or Kefka. -_-

It helps that the Switch is the sole handheld option and everybody else has trouble meeting demand for their own hardware. I'm surprised Nintendo gamers are so affluent, though.
Re: Halo Infinite Actor Suggests The Game Will Launch In November 2021
@Senua
They still have their #SayNo2GamePass campaign, or something. Sad, really.
Re: Microsoft Unveils Two Brand-New Xbox Series X Controllers
I like the margarita themed controller. I don't get the red camo. What are you going to assault donning those fatigues? A volcano?
Re: Ninja Gaiden Collection Contains Sigma Games As 'Only Fragments' Remain Of Other Titles
This pretty much confirms that Xbox is the best place to enjoy the Ninja Gaiden experience.
Re: You Can Play The Entire Yakuza Series On Xbox From Today, And Here's Why You Should
Excellent synopsis of the series so far, Daniel. Yakuza has been a life-changing experience for me.
Re: Heavy Metal Rogue-Lite Rising Hell Arrives On Xbox This May
@GunValkyrie
I'm not one to complain, really. I play a lot of indies.
Re: Microsoft Ranks Sixth In Metacritic's Top Game Publishers Of 2020
LMAO, Nintendo! As of late, all I hear coming from the big N are overpriced ports, theme parks and the New Super Switch 64 XL.
Re: Roundup: Here's What Was Revealed At The Future Games Show Spring Showcase 2021
So many games incoming...[sigh]
Re: The Medium And Observer: System Redux Are Getting Physical Releases
A Layers of Fear Collection would be greatly appreciated.

"Its inclusion in THAT artwork was an error."
Brace for the announcement nontheless.
Re: NieR: Automata Is Getting Review Bombed On Steam After Game Pass Version Makes Improvements
The soundtrack is hauntingly beautiful. Good on people demanding that SE fix this mess.
Re: Former Tango Gameworks Creative Director Opens Small Indie Studio
The phrase "good working environment" makes me uneasy in the context it's used. I hope she didn't have to go through an 'unpleasant' experience at Tango. I wish her the best.
Re: Creepy RPG Sunshine Manor Slices Its Way Onto Xbox Later This Year
Reminds me of Maniac Mansion for some reason.

My thoughts exactly. Is it still alive? is it dead? I need closure.
Re: Devolver Digital Teases New Game Reveal For Xbox's Indie Showcase
Nothing comes to mind. Whatever it is though, it'll probably be good. Devolver rarely disappoints.

Re: NieR: Automata Reportedly Runs Better On Xbox Game Pass For PC Over The Steam Version
I imagine that the people who bought it on Steam might not be all too pleased upon hearing these news.
Re: Scarlet Nexus Slashes Its Way Onto Xbox Series X This June
The artstyle feels very fresh. It reminds me of Ghost in the Shell for some reason. I enjoyed Code Vein, so I'm very excited to play this.
Re: Ninja Gaiden Master Collection Will Run At 4K, 60FPS On Xbox Series X
"Team Ninja has also said while there are no plans for a new entry, they would love to see the series return to Xbox."
How then? -_-
