I think they're mostly for the people who like to take photos of everything that ever happens to them, and then share on twitter/instagram. I know several people who take a photo of every single meal they ever cook, so they can show it to everyone. This entire category of behaviour seems alien to me.
There're awards for adverts? Eugh. Unless that award is literally determined by how many new users it created, it's guaranteed to be pretentious artsy people just telling each other how genius they are.
I think it looks perfect. Up to modern standards but without changing the general appearance and style of the game. Exactly what I wanted. Kinda similar type of upgrade as Xenoblade on the Switch.
My assumption was that they'd added another year of exclusivity for the PS5 version, so that we'll be getting it next June. Which is fine with me. I don't want to replay it until part 2 comes out anyway.
I'm not sure what you mean. What console are you on? On both the Xbox One and Series S/X, you play 360 games by either inserting a disc and then downloading the "patch", or just buying them on the store digitally.
I wonder if part of the reason they decided to buy Bethesda is because they have a big AAA game ready to release in the next 18 months (Starfield) and Xbox have almost nothing except for Halo Infinite for the first few years.
People who have a slow internet connection? I live in the middle of the countryside. Until about 1 year ago when we finally got fibre-optic, downloading a 100GB game would take over a week.
Yeah that makes sense. Hopefully that's what they meant. Especially given that Bond has been played by so many actors, it doesn't really make sense to just use the current one.
Has anyone else used the auto-redeem feature in the Rewards app on console? It's supposed to give you the voucher on the 1st of the month if you have enough points. Yet mine seems to have done nothing, except reset its date til 1st May. Anyone?
Well that's a bit worrying to hear. I hope that's not a sign that they're cutting their losses with Cyberpunk and just moving onto the next project? I'm still expecting the 2 (or 3) sizeable story DLC!
It's mostly manufactured controversy by games journalists. The battle of Fallujah reportedly involved several war crimes by the US military (in real life). These developers have simply chosen not to include that in the game, for the simple reason that they're depicting the experiences of a handful of soldiers who they've worked with on the game, and those soldiers had nothing to do with the warcrimes, so there's no particular reason they would include it.
Games journos are saying that's unacceptable, and you have to use your game to badmouth the US army (something they're obviously not gonna do, given that they were former soldiers)
These expansions sound quite large, given that they take place in entirely new countries. I'll probably get the whole thing when they release the inevitable "Definitive Edition"

I just need to see gameplay with the new graphics! Everything else is noise.

Re: Resident Evil Village's Graphical Options Revealed For Xbox Consoles
Ok well that's the most annoying Series S situation ever. I only have a 1080p screen. I want 1080p at 60fps guys! Damnit.
The Xbox One X has a better situation, and is supposed to be the inferior console.
Re: Wait, Are We Getting Some Metal Gear Solid News Next Week?
Damn a remake of MGS1 would be incredible. I don't even remember that game it's been so long.

You definitely don't have to give them credit for this! They're still just trying to get it back on PSN.

Nope, it's still only 30fps for now.
Re: Industry Reporter Claims Fable, Perfect Dark & Everwild Are 'So Far Away'
@Benjamin
They've bought like a dozen new studios in the last few years. I'm pretty sure that counts as a sign.
Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition Has Gone Gold Ahead Of Its Release
@JayJ
Yeah, although to be fair I am buying this on next gen consoles just for the sake of having 60fps. That will be a nice bonus in a game like this.
Re: Age Of Empires 4 Arrives This Fall On PC, Including Xbox Game Pass
@Would_you_kindly
Download what profile? Are you talking about transfering from an old console to a new, or something?
Re: Age Of Empires 4 Arrives This Fall On PC, Including Xbox Game Pass
@Would_you_kindly
What's up exactly?
Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition Has Gone Gold Ahead Of Its Release
Bit sad that my most anticipated game of the year is a remaster on the previous consoles, but ah well.

Re: Xbox Series X Seagate Expansion Card Drops To Lowest UK Price Yet
When it's about half this price, I might consider it worth buying. Until then, I'm fine just deleting and reinstalling things.
Re: Crysis Remastered Has Received An Xbox Series X Update
Ugh it doesn't even get to 60fps on Series S. Digital Foundry have a video up already.
How lame for such an old game.
Re: IO Interactive's 007 Game Will Usher In An 'Original James Bond For The Gaming Industry'
@TheFrenchiestFry
Yeah that makes sense. Hopefully that's what they meant. Especially given that Bond has been played by so many actors, it doesn't really make sense to just use the current one.
Re: IO Interactive's 007 Game Will Usher In An 'Original James Bond For The Gaming Industry'
I hope that doesn't mean it's gonna be a character customizer so Bond can be like a 15 year old girl with pink hair?
Re: Video: Here's 10 Minutes Of Gameplay From The Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster
That's looking really good. I'm totally fine that it's not a next-gen quality game. It looks good enough, and we'll get it at 60fps.
Re: Deals: 70+ Games Added To This Week's Xbox Sales (April 6-13)
@FraserG
Oh yeah, I see. Thanks! Unfortunately nothing particularly interesting.
Re: Deals: 70+ Games Added To This Week's Xbox Sales (April 6-13)
Eugh this is one of those annoying situations where you can't know what's actually been added. Any way to see all 70 only?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Buying In The Xbox Spring Sale 2021?
There was nothing new I wanted really. Decided to save my £25 store credit for the Mass Effect Trilogy next month.
Re: Microsoft To Reportedly Host 'What's Next For Gaming' Event Soon
I just wanna know when we're seeing Halo Infinite gameplay, and when do we get more 60fps xbone patches?
Re: Watch Dogs: Legion Is Adding A 60FPS Mode For Xbox Series X
I'd frankly assumed it already was 60fps, given that they did for AC
Re: Talking Point: Should Xbox Continue Its Games With Gold Initiative?
I'm mostly just annoyed they have 3 different subscription services. Just pack it into 1 for god's sake!
Re: Deals: Xbox Spring Sale 2021 Now Live, 500+ Games Discounted

I'm still expecting the 2 (or 3) sizeable story DLC!
Re: The Witcher 3's Next-Gen Update Will Arrive In The Second Half Of 2021
@NEStalgia
You still haven't played the Witcher 3?
Re: The Witcher 3's Next-Gen Update Will Arrive In The Second Half Of 2021
I'm currently more excited about this than I am about Cyberpunk, Lol.
I've been deliberately waiting for this version to finish the DLC, which I never did on my first 2 playthroughs.
Re: Ready Your Wallets, The Xbox Spring Sale 2021 Begins Very Soon
@NEStalgia
Who says it doesn't make money? It must make some money...
I buy loads old games digitally on Xbox.
Re: Ready Your Wallets, The Xbox Spring Sale 2021 Begins Very Soon
@NEStalgia
Yeah and XIII-2 and XIII-3 both cost more than the first game. Which is annoying, especially given that XIII-3 sucks.
Re: Ready Your Wallets, The Xbox Spring Sale 2021 Begins Very Soon
Hope they have plenty of 360 games too. I'm still waiting to get the FF13 trilogy and the Fable trilogy.
Re: Pick One: Which Of These Classic Lord Of The Rings Games Was Your Favourite?
