I actually forgot all about the rumored starfield exclusivity until the emergence of these articles. Didn't think much of it at the time because it seemed unattainable at the time but I could've seen it happening now.
@Titntin yh I kinda wanna turn the difficulty down but at the same time this does hit the spot. Besides I am among the crowd who kinda dislike the amount of cars that just get thrown at you in sth like Forza Horizon so the lack of progress is welcoming in a way.
@Titntin I'm still struggling with which car I need to get in which week. Feel like I'm not making nearly enough money to invest in a new car, and my current car is a bit crappy. I'm on week 2 monday rn and need an A+ car, can sell my current car for like 50k so I'll have a grand total of 150k in the bank but it's just not enough to buy a new one and spec it out ๐ฎโ๐จ Am currently still with the Ford Crown Victoria but Ima change to the Corvette Stingray for A+ methinks
@UndyingInsurgent95 yhh Solas, such a random exit. You've gone through thick and thin to survive the whole ordeal with your whole squad (very much unlike BioWare's other series Mass Effect 2's ending mission) only to randomly be told he just up and left after securing peace for the kingdom ๐ And when the dreadwolf teaser first released he turned out to be the villain and evil god?!?! Warra plottwist Ayo you like me: andromeda??!!?! Ignore&Report button looking real attractive rn Nahhh if dead space doesn't drop this summer we riot, I'll send you the change.org link and we can be delusional together.
@UndyingInsurgent95 I honestly don't know anymore because it's been too long. I even had a spot of trouble trying to remember the name of the magic nation lol I know I thought the bald dude was wack, makes sense with him being the dreadwolf. Don't think you needa go dreadwolf on em, they're messed up enough as is ๐ญ๐
@UndyingInsurgent95 Anytime buddy ๐ซก I hope Dragon Age turns out well. Going to the magic empire Tevinter with raytracing should be such a sight to behold ๐ฅน๐ Dorian from da3 really did wonders for hyping me for da4 as well despite me playing it half a decade ago already haha Only a few months left for Jedi Survivor to hit the pass fam ๐
@UndyingInsurgent95 what score? Hmm don't usually do that. It's only my third nfs game so I can't compare it with the others. It's a solid arcade racer and it's visually very impressive, no shortcomings on the technical side either. Objectively it at least works how it should. The police chases are way harder and more diverse than in Heat, where it was already pretty hard until you maxed out your car, at that point it became a breeze right. But in Unbound they have multiple types of cars that shake it up a bit. Car customization seems to be about the same. The (anime) effects were very divisive indeed, most of the negative shouts I heard came from the older generation of gamers. I think you should be safe, if you like it, it does open up a whole lot on the customization side. I personally dig it, thought it was sick and made it stand out. I mean it's not like we want more copy and paste games right lol Overall pretty decent, if you like the genre you'll like the soundtrack, if not connect your spotify/apple music.
@pip_muzz nah it's more rap based because A$AP Rocky curated it, at least it has more songs than Heat ๐ญ @UndyingInsurgent95 It's gonna be a great surprise, game's sick ๐ฎโ๐จ
@Zoidpilot4 yeah they seem to have come to a bit of a halt for the past two months in my opinion.
Maybe they expected the actibliz deal to go through sooner, that would've meant a whole backlog of games + diablo IV.
Anyway nfs is bound to keep me busy for a short while until dead space drops as well
@Banjo- I prefer the ps store, it's weird how the xbox store doesn't have a price filter. Also weird how the whole tv section refuses to work. Was in the insider beta for a long while and reported the bugs, was never fixed. I'm out of it now, rebooted xbox and all but it still won't load ๐
that's crazy persistence ๐ I guess we are the residential cheapskates ๐ฎโ๐จ Haven't bought a game since hogwarts. And I only did that because it was about 25 after the microsoft reward discount.
@UndyingInsurgent95 actually not the biggest fan of Dontnod but their Vampyr game was excellent and the cinematic they put out for Banishers was amazing yh!! I had actually already forgotten about it within a week lol I like focus entertainment so much I actually signed up for their playtesting programme yo ๐ญ (because you get free games) I've only ever gotten an invite to go to their HQ for on site playtests but I don't speak french sadly, or at least not enough ๐ฅฒ I hope microsoft get some sort of gamepass deal going on with them, I really wanna play Evil West already, its sales haven't been enticing enough but it looks amazing and also playable in co-op!!
@UndyingInsurgent95 focus entertainment is the mf ๐๐
They got a knack for publishing random but fun games.
Only got better since their name change as well ๐ฎโ๐จ
@UndyingInsurgent95 ideally I'd like to see 4k/60 but we don't live in an ideal world so I can live with 1440/60 + drs. Nice to know you're still as hyped as ever, will you be playing this in co-op?
@Markatron84 I thought EA already took 'measures' to stop that by just not giving those games trials, back when Jedi Fallen Order released it didn't get a trial and they went on to say it wasn't because it was short or sth, seemed like bs though. But I haven't kept up since tbh
@IronMan30 yeah this switcheroo is annoying. Nice that it might be representative of the final product but with basically everyone in the games industry lying about anything at all it's very doubtful whether it will. So at the end of it all we've only seen a random cutscene, after all of these years lol
It's so ugly I don't even wanna enter the contest, probably US only anyway.
***** I would've been content with a pure white xbox with the porsche logo in the center, nice and clean.
@xMightyMatt14x hey to each his own buddy. I should've specified btw, I haven't watched the fourth one yet. As it's relatively new I expect it to at least visually be better though. But as far as games go if it manages to lean the way of Uncharted and even sth quirky like Strange Brigade I'm all ears, if anything I hope we get some gameplay. Enjoy indy 5 fam.
Mannnn ngl I've been watching the Indy movies in anticipation of the new movie and the game and they're wackkk, most def have not held up well at all. Some saving graces at least but it totally killed my hype for the game.
Fifa by far. So nothing really. Planet of Lana got boring fast, nice setting though. Had some real war of the world vibes early on, but just too little meaningful filling inbetween. Pretty sad I couldn't like Eastern Exorcist, it looked really neat.
@Grumblevolcano huh I thought you meant that but at the same time I was led to believe all xbox controllers seamlessly work on all xbox consoles. Thanks for the info
