One thing is certain, if the game is on GP I won’t pay for it on top of my subscription. I mean, I don’t buy the movies I watch on netflix, that would defeat the purpose. BUT If microsoft had a refund policy similar to Steam or if we had more demos I’d buy more indies full price though. My wishlist is full of them but I’ve been burned by bad games more than once so I wait for discounts.
Arkane is my favorite studio and that’s why I’ll wait before playing Redfall. I know some stuff can’t be fixed but I still want to play it in its best possible state. I really hope Dishonored 3 is in active developement over there because the franchise is everything I love in gaming but at the same time I am so ready for a sequel to Prey
This video is pretty bs. I’ve see another one with fps going in the low 40s. This guy only make videos very early in the game so he can push them out first. He never does real framerate stress test. It’s still pretty crap and will be as long as they don’t let US turn off RT
Can't find many Series X reviews and the performance on PS5 really isn't great on performance mode. Will wait for videos analyzing the day one patch before buying
I don’t play MP or live service games that need to stay on the hard drive forever. When I finish a game I delete it unless there’s upcoming DLCs. And I only play one game at a time. That helps a lot to keep storage space
@Stocksy if you love open worlds and exploring everything then go ahead you will love Elden Ring because the world is amazing and the exploration will make you over leveled for most bosses. Optional bosses are something else though. But there is one thing that made the experience so much more enjoyable, an interactive map. I like knowing where to go and not having my time wasted. I finished it 3 times. It’s an imperfect masterpiece
I hate rogue games with a passion so VS is just not for me, at the same time I also hate the punishing concpet of Soul games but Elden Ring is one of my favorite games of all my 45 years of living and gaming so just for that it’s by far my GOTY 2022.
Well, as long as they don’t fix the terrible deadzone I’m not touching it. Tried fixing it with the elite controler customization options but since the deadzone is baked it the game it doesn’t really help. If the blurrier visuals on the PS5 get fixed first then I’ll buy it on that console even though I’d prefer having it on XsX
If Sony does it? Of course but Microsoft knows it would pretty much mean the death of the Series S for next gen only games at that point. That would be very bad publicity for MS. I don't game on PC so yes I do want Sony and MS to do a mid-gen console upgrades in 2024/2025
I always go through all settings at the beginning to test this kind of things but I know some people never even enter the setting menu. They might now after this
None of them really. I know that Hi-Fi looks and plays great, I tried it, but beside God Of War (because of its exceptional production value) most of these games with chain combo fighting systems bore me because I find no enjoyment in that kind of combat. Still a great addition to gamepass for sure
Well, seems like it isn’t the Soviet Bioshock I wanted it to be and more Castle Wolfenstein but knowing that in advance is a good thing. I just hope it runs well at 60fps.
@sjbsixpack for some people maybe but if a game is not new but is a game I’m interested in, 99% of the time I’ve already played it so that’s why PS Extra has no real value to me. Even this early in the year I already know that gamepass will have for 700$+ worth of day one release games in 2023 that I want to play. The value is insane. But for new gamers, I can’t argue the value of PS+ Extra of course
“You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain“
This quote is pretty much Sony this generation vs the last one
-First first party to jump to the “next gen” price point -Selling (in Canada) the PS5 20$ more than the XsX (now it’s 40$ more) -Not letting you use the controllers you want to play PS5 games. (This is THE reason why I buy 95% all third party games on Xbox) -Took an eternity to add crossplay -Has a laughable “gamepass”
Agree 100% for Deathloop. Didn’t Persona or Immortality (just not my thing) Elden Ring I agree but only while playing on the ps4 version on PS5 which has a 99% locked 60fps
What? Aren’t GOTY mostly a complete edition of a game but at the price of the base game? I really liked FC6 (3 and 5 are better though) but the DLCs sucked. So tired of roguelite crap
Wow, what a total disaster. PS5 just added folders but you can't even put them on your main screen. The are stuck in a sub menu so it renders them pretty much worthless. For me what made the Xbox UI better vs PS5 was the folders/categories you could make and now it's gone. Pathetic
Playing HAAK on switch right now and loving it (nobody is talking about this game, shame). So this will be my next metroidvania style game. I hope the difficulty won’t turn me off though. It will all depend on the reponsiveness of the control like it often is in these games.
That could be interesting for future releases since, on pc at least, you have access to the ultimate edition of the games, not just the base one so the value is huge since those editions are stupid expensive
I think it’s the right move. In term of character creation it gives you more freedom than a character with its own voice and personality. Cyberpunk is the best exemple of that lately. I made a great character but after hearing V’s voice I deceided to completely change the way he looked because it just did not match. You don’t have this probleme with a mute character

Is the aiming deadzone issue found in the demo still present in this version? Or is there a deadzone slider in the options now?

Re: Pick One: Which Game Are You Most Excited For At The Xbox 'Developer_ Direct' Event?
Redfall, since Dishonored Arkane has a perfect track record and I’m so glad they are comparing the game to something like Farcry instead of left4dead

Re: Xbox Game Pass In 2023: The Full List Of Everything Announced So Far
@sjbsixpack PS Extra has almost no new games, gamepass has value because it has a lot of games on launch day.
Re: Xbox Exec Confirms Overall Length Of January's 'Developer_Direct'
I just want a release date for Redfall
Re: Talking Point: What Would You Like To See From Xbox's 'Developer_Direct' Livestream?
Redfall release date, that’s it.
Re: Xbox Game Pass In 2023: The Full List Of Everything Announced So Far
I have around 700 CAN$ worth of games I want to play on that list and that’s before taxes.

PS Extra had one new game I wanted to play since it started, ONE

Re: Bethesda: Your Starfield Character Won't Have A Voice
I think it’s the right move. In term of character creation it gives you more freedom than a character with its own voice and personality.
