@Stocksy As a sports degen, I was also hoping a college sports game accidentally got included. Hopefully either the new NCAA player compensation law provides the path for new games or a developer has the common sense to build a quality sports game and allow the community to 'mod players/ teams'
They spent an enormous amount of time and resources on this game, tried to overplay their hand by making it for every console, panicked, cut 50% of the projected content and screwed over everyone. This is not No Mans Sky 2.0, - its time to admit failure and focus on Witcher 4
@elpardo1984 it has absolutely NOTHING to do with a female protagonist. There are a million successful games with female protagonists. If you really think people don't want to play as a female, you obviously have ignored Tomb Raider, Horizon, Bethesda games, Assassins Creed, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, Last of us, Broken Sword, etc. The list goes on and on. It has to do with the hippy, try to be cool, cringe, poor writing, lets try to be like fortnite character design that gamers that support these intellectual properties are tired of seeing.
I love point and click adventure games and definitely appreciate 12 minutes for its innovative take on the genre. I did find it a bit restrictive and story writing (less innovative) but its great to see point and click adventures being talked about and appreciated.
@NEStalgia I struggled with the Pirates opener as well. I really enjoyed the music and nods to the ride but fell off a rock and was stuck until I quit the game.

Re: Microsoft Is Pushing Xbox's Phil Spencer To Think About Succession

Re: Saints Row Team: We Aren't Backing Down, But We Understand The 'Knee Jerk' Reaction
@LtSarge surprise, surprise - your friends dont like it. There is a reason they are rebooting the franchise and not just making Saints Row 4.

Re: Riders Republic's Xbox Open Beta Is Now Available Until August 28
All I ask is for collision animations with other players - something akin to the Nascar games would really up the ante.
Re: 343 Industries Talked About, But Decided Against Delaying Halo Infinite Past 2021
