Just another rip off souls like game.

I got the game for PS5 for £60 and have zero regrets. The performance is nowhere near as bad as I was expecting and the gameplay is fantastic. I might even get a copy for my series S on discount.

Before that launch I was 100% on the fence especially with the unlocked 30fps.

The motion blur effect used to smooth out the FPS seems similar to the one used on Forza 5 for it's 30fps mode..it's surprisingly well implemented. I think it's something to do with shutter technology.

I'm not really hung up on the mtx, it's all pointless stuff you can get in game anyways. I have seen a lot of misinformation about it online being P2W (not surprised). There isn't anything that makes the game especially easier so I don't plan on buying any dlc except anything that adds content.

Lower scores are from console players - it's a real issue that Capcom should address. At least respect console players with a capped 30fps mode.

Gamepass, free cloud saves, quick resume, wider options on 3rd party controllers, cheaper online digital codes, back compat

@NEStalgia Wow I wasn't expecting an essay reply! I was talking objectively more about his commercial performance as a VP in Europes SIE growth phase and then the sales indicators as president/CEO. I don't think his output was particularly great and there were questionable consumer decisions but his success comes out of keeping shareholders happy which is sadly what props up the gaming industry. The next CEO needs to look at better budget regulation and higher profits margins. Herman Hulst should definitely go.

Hardcore playstation fans should be careful what they wish for - who's to say the next CEO will be better? It's just presumption at this point. He might end up looking like the good commercially minded one in the future. Kind of like a Peter Moore before a Don Matrick ( I wouldn't be surprised with another US/EU based executive). I don't take sides on the console fence so I think overall objectively he did okay even if there were communication missteps due to not being a natural presenter.

Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth and P5R were incredible. Forza and MS Flight Sim are also exceptional 1P games for Xbox. I quit BG3 after about 25 hours as it just wasn't clicking with me. I think objectively no game should be a 99 - that is basically perfection and BG3 is objectively far from that technically. Even RDR2 or Zelda shouldn't get a 99 and they do far more to innovate.

I haven't played the rest but the Witcher 3 does look really good.

The comments on PS saying it must be bad "because it's on Gamepass" were amusing to see.

Uncapped framerate shows shows out out of touch some game developers are with the actual players. At least have the decency to add a 30fps cap option. I will get Rise of The Ronin instead.

Really enjoying this one! One the fps issues are smoothed out on console this will be great!

Huge W overall!

Really happy the P3R DLC is free with gamepass!

Got this one on pre order - can't wait!

This a a quadruple B game

I'm waiting for the inevitable sharp discount within 3 months.

With this, P5 Tactica, P3R, and Eiyuden Chronicles 100 Heroes (upcoming), now is a great time for JRPG fans on gamepass!

Flight Sim 24 looks looks interesting to me. Indiana Jones may be decent. Avowed lost me when they said there would be no romance options despite classing itself as a role playing game.

I got all the consoles and honestly for any non exclusive game I will just either play it on gamepass or pick the platform with the cheapest code (Usually Xbox). Even if all of Xbox's games go 3P I will just play them on gamepass to save money.

The update will have no bearing on me owning an Xbox.

Played it and it is decent but a little janky.. It feels like a AA game and it should have an AA price $50/£45.

I could say I'm the complete package but it doesn't make it true.

It has been okay but I only really play SP and I have already seen some foul play in the PvP spaces which I don't think I would enjoy. I think if I could play it offline and Solo I would enjoy it a lot more.

The graphics and a bit glitchy and it did crash a couple of times to but I guess they are stress testing the servers ahead of launch.

Also this is not really a Pirate game more a naval warfare game. If you see it as just ship combat you will enjoy it a lot more.

Really enjoying the game so far! Glad to see it is doing well as this will give them bigger budgets for future investment.

Hardware will be announced next week..

New hardware announcement incoming..

The overreactions have been embarrassing.

Honestly I tend to buy all the consoles so I am not that bothered. I do often buy 3P games on Xbox as you can get the codes including GP up to 25% cheaper on day one vs using the PSN store.

@NostromoXP Yeah I can imagine it will be some form of PC server that cloud games are run off of as there won't be a console to run it on. They might not do it this year or next year, but I expect infostructure to be updated by the end of the decade with the next Xbox console in 2025-2028 being the last (and a cloud hybrid).

@Mephisto2869 No need for boxes it will be built into TV's.

@Mephisto2869 I mean gaming hardware, like consoles and physical games. It will take about a decade, but the decline is there. As soon as cloud tech is up the scratch in the western world consoles will be dropped like a rock as they are expensive to develop and often loss making for years. Software is where companies make money. I like consoles but I know they won't be around forever so I am just enjoying them now.

I only buy a Xbox to save money on Gamepass for certain 3P and 1P games so I'll buy a next gen Xbox. I like to have all the console and will make the most of them while they are still around.

Ultimately Xbox get Sony and Nintendo money from publishing and MS has made a literal fortune out of publishing. Hardware is a dying thing and MS knows it.

@UndyingInsurgent95 100% agree its why I skipped the Outer Worlds. I will give this a try as it's on Gamepass but Its doubtful it will stick when there are likely to be other big AAA games out at the end of the year.

I think the option to have it is important as its a role playing game.

I think a lot of people will be disappointed with this game based on the initial expectations.

@Sakai This looks pretty decent and I don't mind a wired connection at all. Might go well with my Series S.

@PROPS There is no save carry over, but the story of Infinite Wealth with make significantly more sense once have completed the first game and then start the second. There are some nice additional game improvements to look forward to also.

I got an Xbox to go alongside my PS5 and Switch. If you have the option/ability to not lock yourself to one system you should take it.

At the end of the day Microsoft is a software business. They lose on loss making console sales and gain extra money from PC players, mobile games and their % cut from Sony and Nintendo. It is a business model that has netted them Trillions of dollars over the last few decades.

I'm genuinely looking forward to this one. I enjoyed Train Life which this developer also made.

For those of the crazier persuasion SEGA are remaking Crazy Taxi which will be fun.

I like focused, but I hope they don't strip out too many RPG elements. The lack of Romance in The Outer Worlds meant I have never touched it. The best in class RPG's give you broad role playing options. Options being the keyword.

Star Wars Outlaws 100% October 2024 at the earliest. It will be stacked the month before or after AC Codename Red.

We'll get the launch dates for both plus a look at 2025 games at the typical Ubi Forward this summer.

I would like to see more Watch Dogs but I think they will be playing it safe now with the more creative title being lower budget.

I like the game theme related backgrounds. These look a little plain.

I'm good with a stable 30fps (with stable frame pacing). Reminds me of how FF16 really struggled with the 60fps mode as certain developers teams struggle optimise games.

I might grab this on a deep discount for the story.

P3R is a huge get for Gamepass. It will drive some good subscription growth alongside Eiyuden Chronicle 100 heroes. I will save £100 by not having to buy them on PS.

I personally find Pokémon games (the more linear ones like Sword/Shield) significantly more enjoyable than Palworld but I am certain there is a place for both to be successful. Palworld can be fill the gap in Xbox and PC that Nintendo's games leave. The new more powerful Nintendo hardware should push GameFreak to improve their development overall.

@Bonjo It's weird my PS4 and now PS5 can only download 15mb p/s max (on 5Ghz) while my Xbox can tap into the 150mb p/s I have. Is there a setting to change to unlock better download speeds for PS?

The word "woke" should be banned from existence for being so cringe. I know some people hate on the game for that reason, but honestly if you look beyond that it is just not a very well made game considering it had a AAA budget of over 100million dollars.

I doubt I will try this, It doesn't look like my thing. The last time I got on the hype train against my better judgement I got BG3 and sorely regretted it. I am currently playing Prince of Persia and will then be moving onto Like a Dragon and P3R so I can't see myself carving out time for this.

BG3 runs poorly on everything. Top tier developers like R* got RDR2 running well on a base Xbox One. I hope Larian invest all the money they have made on a new game engine and the Series S will be no problem for them.

Just wish the developer would fix the FSR2 constant glitching in game. It became egregious after the 2.0 update.

I think this could be a real Gamepass/expansion pass seller.

A- No shadow drop but a very strong show overall.

Has everyone forgotten that MS Flight Sim 2024 is out this year? That will be one of the 4/5 games.

My guess:

Hellblade 2: May

MS Flight Sim 24: Summer

Avowed: Sept/Oct

Indiana Jones: Fall/Winter
