Booted it up yesterday but couldn't even find a match, will say the UI is ***** ugly, reminds me of a mobile game. Haven't seen any gameplay yet ofcourse but as it is I can't believe Heartlands died for this.
@Fenbops yhhh exactly my man, no clue why people go as far as calling it a glorified tech demo either, it has genuinely cool set pieces, cool variety of guns and moderately hard collectibles to find. Even got the plat for it.
I think it was google who bought em up for the now canned stadia? ***** waste man
Ryse was the exact same 😭
I never bothered with it because of all the bad press surrounding most xbox releases (bit similar to when I finally got around to Quantum Break).
But my gosh Crytek is seriously underrated for just making fun games.
We lowkey need a Ryse 2 as a companion piece for Ridley Scott's Gladiator 2 👀
@BRT15 nah I thought Order 1886 was frickin amazing, granted I bought it for sth like a fiver way later, and I get why people felt like they got scammed initially lol At least I guess we can all agree xbox done did it again
@BIG3 yh it's baffling to me how they don't market it. A friend sent me that tweet of theirs where they mentioned starting the pr train but there have been so many chances for them to promote it and I haven't caught any of them. Classic xbox I guess
@OldGamer999 can't get over the fact they're called The Initiative as well 😂 Gonna be 6 years old come June, if they don't show anything during the showcase I don't know what to say
@Vilimeno I wanna say it's normally around 4pm gmt so should be 5 yours but gamepass be deviating recently so who knows, worth checking in around that time though.
@StylesT how'd you like ronin?
Dunno if you guys do this frequently but this is a good companion piece for the regular sales articles. Given that a lot of people are mainly looking for lowest ever prices.
Makes sense, fortnite and rocket league initially came to mind. I do be playing lots of rl. Although I thought the newer fifa&cod games would be able to even the odds, at least pulling in the other yearly sports games I figured they might be able to even the odds alas.
@AlienigenX I had such a good time playing dante's inferno a few years ago and I generally don't even like hack and slash games. Still wish they'd made a sequel on dante's purgatory or sth, alas.
Evil West is co-op btw for those interested, very underappreciated feature that doesn't get the highlight it should. Granted, you play the same character and only the host carries progress iirc so not the best co-op in the scene but def recommend if anyone wants to play with a friend.
@Mindurbiniss ya making me feel bad man 🥹🥲
Also, about Call of Cthulhu. The game was more linear than The Sinking City.
I think that definitely helped because TSC being open world didn't have all that much going for it iirc.
Anyway I HOPE Frogwares has learned from the first installment and makes a better game now. Again, a bit like how Spiders' games incrementally get better.
Looking forward to seeing what they'll do with Greedfall 2, another part of me wants nothing to do with the game though.
@BRT15 I've missed out on the console gens from that age but yh
It surprised me how out of date the game was, a complete opposite of a technological marvel even compared to some broken games.
The game didn't even look that good but was lacking on the performance side as well 😂
Friend of mine bought it for me but I would've been so pissed if I had spent my own money on it.
This is one of those games where it just irks me how ***** it is.
Thought Call of Cthulhu did it all better.
Mine's even worse, keep getting a wishlist notification about Lords of the Fallen being free to play.
Can't even remove it from my wishlist or add and remove to get rid of the notif 😭😂
Wish I could play Lords of the Fallen tbh Got a random notification from the store yesterday saying it's f2p for a limited time but it isn't actually. Maybe it's getting added to gamepass soon 👀 Otherwise will be playing Wild Hearts, almost finished it. What a magnificent monster hunter like game jeez 😮💨
