Heh… I played this on Game Pass and they better be working the timers and busy work if this isn’t free to play it needs to drop the free to play mechanics.
I have played with design lab but never pulled the trigger. Now that the pro controller is on there I might actually do it. I’ve been debating getting the pro for awhile but I really like a good color scheme on my controllers so I’m very excited for the chance to customize the pro.
What even would determine an “achievement hunter” game? Apparently in this case nothing but normally would it be one’s that statistically many players have gotten all of the achievements?
@JayJ yeah my ideal would be if Microsoft just embraced this and made an Xbox app for it so I can access Game Pass games offline. When the first started shipping it seemed like Microsoft was excited about it in some way so I was hopeful but they just keep pushing xCloud on it.
@NEStalgia it’s been mentioned once or twice on here but for the xCloud stuff it works pretty great there’s simple things you can do to make it launch right from the SteamOS so you don’t have to go to the desktop mode. I found a Reddit that had a fairly complicated way to access the standard Game Pass but it’s an annoying workaround that has you unofficially dual booting into Windows then you need another app to tell Windows that the Steam Deck is an xinput controller.
Okay. I could be wrong but is the subtitle here a reference to the episode of Dexter’s Laboratory with the robot parrot and the fishing show where the guy says “Yup, that's a big 'un, yup yup. That's a big 'un for the Florida Everglades. Next, we'll cover worms and plastic minnows. Yup yup!” ?
Well it was a buzzword until Sony staunchly stood their ground in the camp of “next gen games cost $70. Come fight me” Now it’s a good chunk of the reason I bought an Xbox Series X after I already own a PS5. All cross platform games will be Xbox purchases.
Vice City all the way baby. I feel it hit it’s wacky stride a little harder than 3 but didn’t have as much fiddly bits as San Andreas. I loved San Andreas but the RPG-esque stats hold it back from being better than Vice City in my opinion.
@FraserG I kind of admire the effort they put into the workaround. That being said it’d be too much effort for me as a consumer lol. That’s why I have no desire to mess with Nintendo’s voice chat app.
@Gaming365247 Bethesda will have a special kfc edition launch it’ll cost $60 and have Colonel Sanders themed armor and original recipe drumstick shaped maces. But someone will get it running original Doom within a day.
@Tharsman the only recent console is call a total flop is the Wii U. But yeah the dominion the 360 had in America was absolutely undeniable. I find it impressive personally because OG XBox was late to the game and was competing against two companies that were absolute powerhouses at the time. They got a year head start on next gen sales and it paid off in a huge way.
The game is almost 3 years old. I’m shocked a multiplayer shooter has been updated for this long. I can’t imagine a big company with a big franchise continuing work on a game that released over 2 years ago rather than pushing to a sequel or just something new.
