I am totally fine with there not being a new game released every week. Give it some time and release games when they are ready and give us gamers a chance to actually finish a game before starting a new one lol.
Excited to see the upgrade for ESO.
Let’s face it. ESO always kind of looked like ass so any improvement will be welcome.
Is metro smart delivery or a whole new purchase?
@awp69 I think it looks pretty good for a 6 year old game. Draw distance leaves a lot of fog but they have a lot of memorable scenery interwoven throughout the land.
@Tharsman Smart Delivery!
@The_New_Butler I too immediately think of the Strike games any time I see a chopper in a game screenshot
Did you know the Mercenaries games were supposed to be a Strike series reboot? It sucks that both Pandemic's Mercenaries 3: No Limits and Danger Close' Mercs Inc. got canned. That series should 100% still be going. Anyway...
Every time a new heli game comes out, I'm hoping it errs on the side of arcadey, responsive action specifically because you'd figure SOMEONE would want to take on the mantle from those titles. Luckily, based on the trailer over on the Microsoft Store, it looks like Heliborne is nailing that kind of action. Hopefully it turns out to be a fun title.
Upgraded Metro back on Game Pass plz
