Just ordered one. My first RF controller but I have been wanting to try one for a bit (OG Xbox) and my 360 controllers are starting to get some age. Fingers crossed for a positive experience
I really hope this turns out well. Veilguard tried to be a Dragon Age knockoff and failed miserably. Let's keep our fingers crossed that Avowed doesn't follow the same disastrous path.
I agree that Xbox does have a better store than PS or Ninty, but their PC store really needs some help. They don't have nearly as many games as console users have.
People pretending that GP isn't going to go up in price again are kidding themselves But Xbox put themselves in this situation with the introduction of Kinect and it just snowballed from there.
In the meantime lot's of good games being made so just buy or rent and play them where you want.
@Kaloudz I’m only speaking for the original NG1 but Sigma has more story content (Rachel chapters) and wielding dual swords is what I really remember. But for me, I always felt NG Black played better, had better puzzles, etc. I think Black had better costumes but to be honest, it very well could be nostalgia glasses blurring my vision, lol.
So they spent a decade working on a D.A. sequel, stripped away everything that made D.A. awesome, threw in a bunch of nonsense no one wanted, and then it bombed? Well, color me shocked, stunned, and amazed.
Let's take a nostalgic trip down the 7th Gen memory lane, shall we? Here's the scoop:
A trilogy of Mass Effect adventures
A duo of fresh GTA escapades
Two chapters of Elder Scrolls sagas
A pair of Dragon Age tales
A quintet of Halo escapades
Four rounds of Gears Of War action
Two Fable fables
And a couple of Fallout experiences
And that's just scratching the surface! So, did gamers really lose out after the 7th Gen? Sure, the graphics leveled up, but oh, the price of progress!
Just saying if it requires a VRR to display correctly it is not "fixed". That is some BS DF made up years ago and is the goto crutch for games that are not well optimized for the bespoke hardware they are played on.
