Re: Review: Immortals Fenyx Rising - A Fantastical Adventure That Draws Heavily From Breath Of The Wild

Bartig

Played the free Google Stadia demo and liked it, but already felt I wouldn't continue to like it - and the screenshots here confirm there are a lot of the same puzzles going on in this game. Just another Ubisoft copypaste formula, I'm afraid.

I beg to differ the writing is great, by the way. Every single word those gods said to each other in the demo, failed to interest me at all.

Re: Hardware Review: Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 For Xbox Series X - An Excellent Mid-Range Headset

Bartig

I'm sorry, but I don't consider a $150 gaming headset midrange.

There are terrific gaming headsets well under $50. For instance, the $20 Mpow EG10 blows the Turtle Beach Recon 50P and Turtle Beach 70 (for $40-$60) out of the water. Better directional sound, more space between sound effects and a better microphone.

That's what I'm missing in this review, sorry. How good is the positioning of sound effects? How big is the soundstage? Is the bass heavy or light? How does the headphone cope in crowded action scenes, and in the combination of many game sounds with other peoples voices?

The TurtleBeaches I've tried failed heavily in this regard.

How much have you actually tested, Darren? I've just done an extensive test with over 25 gaming headsets, and am very disappointed in TurtleBeach' and especially Razer's offerings in lower price segments. In fact, the Razer Kraken X I tested at around $60, has a way worse microphone than almost all $20 models I've tested.

Re: 343 Industries Celebrates Halo 5's Fifth Anniversary

  • Singleplayer too short
  • Singleplayer takes too long before reaching great looking levels
  • No splitscreen coop
  • Finished it twice, forgot the ending twice
  • I can't stand Locke...
  • Maybe the best Slayer multiplayer maps after the original Halo
  • Amazing sound in online multiplayer
  • It's still Halo...

4/5

So it looks really well and seems to work really well too. But so does it on my Xbox One All Digital...

As there are no real next-gen games from the start and everything is so familiair, I can imagine spending myself 500 euros for the Series X, play on it for two the first two hours and then think...

I already had this.

Re: Talking Point: Which Is The Most Underrated Xbox Game?

Bartig

The free-to-play multiplatform game Warframe. I can recommend it to everyone. The combination of shooter and hack-and-slash ninja action is soooo fluent and satisfying!

I've tried it two years ago - it was decent. I tried it last month, and it's developed fantastic.

Re: Get A Free Copy Of Halo 5: Guardians With Monster Energy

Bartig

@Bobobiwan Really? I liked the singleplayer but it's one of the shortest for any Halo game. I just finished it for the second time last week, and fifteen minutes after playing it, I AGAIN forgot was the ending was like. It's just a setup to Infinite, as far as I'm concerned.

Re: Talking Point: What Is The Worst Xbox Game You've Ever Played?

Bartig

It must be anything that has to do with Sonic in 3D, I guess. The first level is fairly decent... and theeeeen it's all gone. I don't know why Sega keeps getting away with it.

Another title that pops up is Need for Speed Heat. The drifting, the cringy setting and missions... sure, it's aimed at teenagers, but my oh my, it has nothing to do with driving and drifting at all.
