Re: Poll: How Would You Grade The Xbox Developer Direct 2024?

Fenbops

I’m harsh but I would give it a C. Hellblade 2 and Indy look great. Avowed, I’m not sure about.

I’m sorry but I can’t stand the people working for these companies and I zone out when they talk, which is what these presentations are sadly, them waffling on for 50 mins. Driving around the office on scooters, and chilling in hammocks under their desks, they’ve got it so good.

Re: Microsoft CEO Says ActiBlizz Deal Helps Xbox Become 'A Good Publisher' On All Platforms

Fenbops

@iplaygamesnstuff that won’t happen unless Microsoft can change social trends though which is near impossible to do. PlayStation is the trendy brand, the one kids ask for, the console a group of mates talk about getting, that’s hard to change. They nearly did it with the 360 and then we know what happened after that.

I’m not too worried about where Xbox is, I think they have a broader range of titles and genres to play that aren’t available on PlayStation. (Starfield, Hi Fi Rush etc). PlayStation to me is stale, all remasters and sequels with very little on the horizon.

And if Xbox do go multi platform one day, it’s one less console to buy 😂😋

Re: Talking Point: Has Xbox Done A Good Job With Gears Of War So Far?

Fenbops

Not great. I actually like 4 more than 5, to me it felt more Gears like. 5 was open world because everything else is and had one of the stupidest story choices I’ve ever seen in a game, even more so in a Gears game. Tactics was great.

I’m not hopeful for the future, more so because I think it’s hard to recreate what made the originals special in today’s climate.

Re: Forza Motorsport Compared To Gran Turismo 7 In Huge Graphics Breakdown

Fenbops

I just watched the video as someone who’s not interested in playing either game but likes to see the differences and to me GT7 looks better. FM cars look completely flat compared to GT7, I think that’s the main issue, the paintwork and detail in GT7 is a step above. Also those track and trackside textures on FM are rough, like really bad.

I can’t comment on how either feels to play or which is more fun but from a graphical standpoint GT7 looks better to me.

Re: Starfield Dev Calls Out 'Unreasonable' Criticism From Some People On Social Media

Fenbops

I’ve been playing Starfield and I like it, I love the nasa punk look they’ve given everything and how most planets are empty, just like they would be.

Saying that I can also understand the critiques from people, it’s far from perfect. The issue is social media and the minority making the loudest noise, as with most things. Best thing to do is just ignore them and carry on your day, this person chose not to do that and had a little rant themselves.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 18-19)

Fenbops

I tried Alan Wane 2 again, sad to see the voice sync issues still not fixed, it takes me right out of the experience so I’ll wait longer to play it.

I started Starfield! Only a couple hours in but enjoying it so far. Sad that it’s only 30fps and isn’t as smooth as it could be but it’s fun and I think looks great. I’ll still hold onto the hope they’ll drop a performance mode at some point.

Re: Rockstar Confirms GTA 6 Trailer Will Be Revealed In Early December

Fenbops

I’m expecting nothing. Best case it’ll play it safe and be dull and unfunny for a GTA game, worst case we’ll see Spider Man 2 levels of modern day garbage.

Either way it’s going to sell like hot cakes. I’m interested to see how they’ll deal with their online community.

Re: Xbox Game Pass Hit 'Lies Of P' Gets First DLC Tease, New Update Coming This Month

Fenbops

I’m on act 11 and have enjoyed my time with P, I’d be interested in some DLC. The further I’ve gotten into the game the more it’s small issues become apparent like relying way too much on multi phase boss battles and act 11 to me feels out of place. This game isn’t for everyone and that’s okay despite what a vocal minority say online, but for those of us who like a challenge the game is great fun. I’d be happy to support it more.

Re: Alan Wake 2 'Excellent' On Xbox Series X & The Best Console Version, Digital Foundry Concludes

Fenbops

@Banjo- hey bud, not seen you for a while glad to see you again.

You’re right, this community is tiny compared to NL and PS, neither of which I bother visiting or commenting on, but I like the little community here. I don’t find it ‘toxic’ I despise that word in modern day language, it’s lazy.

A few of us were here talking about mesh shaders, which ps5 lacks, and the difference they can make because that’s an interesting discussion to have and certain individuals like to come in and say we’re ’toxic’. Get out of here 😂

Re: PlayStation Studio & Former Halo Dev Bungie Cuts Staff After Game Delays

Fenbops

Remember when Activision owned Bungie and they were downtrodden under the foot of their oppressors? Since gaining independence they’ve been an even worse, disgraceful, anti consumer dev in their own right. Anyone who thinks Bungie was a good acquisition for PlayStation is very narrow minded.

They’re one of the most disgusting development teams out there and have been for years now. Bungies best years are waaaay behind them. I’m not gonna pretend to be sad that people there are losing their jobs.
