Average yakuza side quest

I find it pretty surprising this game turned out the way it did when they had so much time. Why can't we even spectate others when we're done with practice/quali? I wanna see how others take a corner.
The game has so many UX issues as well. Who asked for forced/unskippable cutscenes man.
All of my nitpicks are things that are certain to be added in time but it's a tad annoying to not have it after so many years in development.
How's everyone doing with their safety rating?

@Kaloudz I've always thought the same so I can't be too bummed even though I am but it's led me to think if they're thinking about having us charge for the cloud stuff the way they do on playstation.

@Kaloudz it's been a while so I don't remember it all that well but I do believe they intentionally marketed it so it didn't look like a cloverfield movie similar to the way they marketed the thing (2010) as a remake instead of a prequel and Split (2016) being a sequel to Unbreakable among others.
I kinda dig that, related movies that aren't marketed as such.
Kurt Russel's (1998) Soldier movie for instance is supposed to be related to the Blade Runner films as well but I still haven't watched it, been intrigued for years though.

@Kaloudz I gotchu bro 🫡
Nah the first movie started somewhat of a franchise.
They followed it up with 10 Cloverfield Lane and Netflix did The Cloverfield Paradox after, both great movies in their own right but the latter takes place in space so might not be the one for you.
Though at the same time 10 Cloverfield Lane's ending might end up putting you in a hospital again so I kinda don't wanna recommend it to you, I just looked it up for you and it's a small bit of flashy imagery and not so steady camera work.
Anyway don't @ me if you die

Kinda sucks alas, I'll shoot people elsewhere 😮‍💨

@Fishticon
Ahhh fair warning mate, Black is pretty outdated. I thought it played horrible when I did. But I assume you've played quite a bit by now.
@Kaloudz holy ***** yh the era of found footage movies must've nearly killed you 😭
Have you given the other cloverfield movies a watch though? Been a while but I'm pretty sure 10 Cloverfield Lane should be doable, it's a great movie anyway.
Yhh that frickin sucks, I love the look of this game.
Yo how does my pfp treat you 🥹

@Kaloudz every time I boot up a game and get the epilepsy warning I'll think of you now 🥲🫡
But yeah isn't that the majority of games

Did they fix HDR yet?

Does explain how they misspelled the name of their own game in the apology letter

@RadioHedgeFund I'm kind of let down it isn't

@BeerIsAwesome
I live to serve 🫡
If you have a direct link you can just copy and paste it between [IMG∆] and [/IMG∆] WITHOUT the lil triangles.
If you only have an image without a link, upload the image on sth like https://imgbb.com/ and copy what they give you.
Alternatively, read up a bit on bbcode, relatively simple.

Damn that's a beauty.

@BeerIsAwesome ask and ye shall receive

@GamingFan4Lyf huh I initially shared Abe's opinion on this but your comment makes a lot of sense. Cheers

Tales of Arise main story is 40 hours, yh I can't do that in four days
Nice selection though

@BRT15 I was thinking something similar lol, very unflattering

@BAMozzy another excellent dissertation by our local xbox ambassador 🫡

@Kaloudz all of their games are day one ubi+

@Kaloudz lesgoooo I think I'll be getting a month in december for Avatar as well

@InterceptorAlpha same man hope it's easy enough to get into.
Always a bit daunting the whole warhammer/40k stuff

That's straight cap lmao, just played with a friend and I kept getting kicked automatically when he canceled matchmaking.

@Romans12 I'll raise you 110%, if they give us a fiver for playing I think it might be good value.

Love Crytek and love this game despite barely having played it haha
Haven't played it in two years but I'm very much looking forward to trying it again by then!

@Tomato_Goose which character would you recommend

@ActionPanther damn that's pretty crazy.
Do you value the sub higher than microsoft or sth 😂
I feel like they've had a pretty good mixture of indie and AAA since the start of the year

@Fiendish-Beaver yeah no worries mate, if anything I've always found it a tad bit odd how the majority do their games in bold on these threads but nearly nowhere else 😂
Looking forward to your future bold text contributions 🫡
Actually, if you wanna set yourself apart and really bite into the competition being a beaver and all, might I suggest using italics or underlining instead.

@mac_da_man Panam the mf 🐐

@Fiendish-Beaver Put what you wanna say between [B∆]text[/B∆] without the lil triangles.
Alternatively look up a bbcode guide, lots of goodies.

Hopefully beat Lies of P over the weekend.
Will never understand how some folks completed it in a couple of days 😂

@Kloppo would be nice but at least it has 'seamless' co-op

@Trmn8r the game's called Hyenas

Who's laughing now

Read the steam patch notes yesterday and it's a very welcome update, not just because they've patched bosses I haven't even met yet either.
Most of all I'm glad they fixed the weight, the only soulslike I've played where I've put most of my points in capacity 😭😂

Bruh captures only for 90 days is wack

@UndyingInsurgent95 meaning we'll get an even more special mini review 👀

@UndyingInsurgent95 you're the first thing that came to mind fam. Feel sorry for you but at least the game will launch in a better state?!??

Granted I never buy DLC, this is all just cars and cosmetics right?
The same price for Starfield's early access at least netted you an expansion as well.

@Phantom_Anima gotta turn crossplay off for pro clubs to work

Personally I don't like it at all.
Players feel a tad unresponsive at times, and I can't score a goal to save my life.
Won about half of my matches but how I had to win them is absurd.
Wish I could just swap buttons as well, the new rb and lb + rb seriously mess me up lol.

@tallythwack I want to see a type of documentary that Double Fine did for Psychonauts for the other xbox studios.
Wonder what they're actually doing with what's probably a pretty sizeable budget already 😭😂

@Jaxx420 I'd like to recommend Sekiro, and go for Lies of P after if you dig the parry heavy combat system.
I very much doubt they're not planning on fine tuning the perfect guard in Lies of P even within a few days because there have been complaints about it all around.
But even if they do I think it's still going to be marginally harder than Sekiro based on the 20~ hours I've played so far.
Sekiro's been on the market for years, there are guides galore. The game's been in its most playable state for a while.
Aesthetic wise though I do think Lies of P's steampunk world is better than Sekiro's.
Goodluck either way and don't forget to have fun G

@themcnoisy was thinking the same thing lol, got a good chunk out of Lies of P but I've only had one session with Payday and I haven't even played Party Animals.
Besides, the latter two have been getting stick for its (non-existent) mp.
Would've been better off publishing it next weekend instead.

I wish the shooter mechanics were better, feels so light. Suppose if you spend enough points along the way it'll change but for now they got the robbery part on lock. It's just the remainder that could be better.

Awesome news, the f2p division game is one thing but a new full fledged division game is such a great excuse for me to play with some of my friends again 😭
(Beside the fact that the games are grossly underrated and one of the more technically impressive games out there)

I mean, I recently finally played Death of the Outsider.
And I've played Dishonored 1 and 2.
I've played Deathloop as well and it made a lot of sense, being set in the same universe as well.
Redfall did indeed do badly to the point they might just go back to a trusted IP.
But I personally don't see how D3 would work story wise, just give me another spin-off game like Deathloop set in the same world and I'm happy.
Could do sth with Pandyssia though, given that it's uncharted territory. But I don't see how they can do a classic linear Dishonored in that vast of a landmass. Unless it's gonna be one of those next gen open world outings after multiple linear games in the series like we have seen before (gow & gow).

@clvr bro was so discontented he didn't even bother with the acronym 😂

@VisitingComet1 check if your username isn't a duplicate.
I had it pop up but could barely see it.
And try it on your phone instead of the console.
@Kaloudz I got one or two friends I play it with.
They inv others as well so we're mostly at just the one bot, I just did a few matches and the bot mostly runs along but you can get him to do certain things so it's not all that bad.
Well I hope you like it man. Would seem nice to get people from the forum together but if you only play when the peasants go to bed I highly doubt we'll ever meet because that's around the time I stop haha

@Kaloudz I had the exact same thought when I booted up Lies of P today but it's been 'smooth' sailing so far.
Finally managed to beat Fuoco, in hindsight should not have been so hard.
You playing this with randoms or do you have a party?

@Kaloudz

@Kaloudz no ***** way you did by accident, you absolute beauty 😭😭😂

I like it a lot, truly a spiritual bloodborne successor.
And it actually plays like a nice blend of BB and Sekiro.
Did the first three or so boss fights yesterday.
Plays well, looks well, optimized very well, soundtrack's great as well.
And all this from a korean dev.
Might not get to the end however because it's a bit too parry heavy for my tastes.
Also, weird thing is they same to have korean subs embedded for boss fights.
