I hope they see how extremely popular it is and realize that group and solo content can exist equally. All games that have forced group content need to do this. If all content say in Destiny 2 could be played solo with no penalties I would have played the game for more than a few hours.
I have played three games a ton this year Starfield, Hogwarts, and Sandrock.
None are on that list. Starfield not being on there though is an insult. Hogwarts I figure the political leaning of the people making the list would not allow it.
I will be playing arcade paradise. I was supposed to be playing Final Fantasy but I canceled my pre-order because I heard there was some "political social issue" stuff in it I refuse to be a part of.
So what if Playstation 6 is poorly designed but the Series X2 is faster and better? So the PS6 cant hit 120fps in 8k but the S2 can. Will Sony complain still? I bet
I love the deep character RPG elements. Microtransactions feel very minimal. Very good course selection. Gameplay still feels off until they add that 3-click swing they promised. I have seen some graphical bugs like pop in and red sparkles on faces. But it feels like the core is good and worth my time.
That sounds like doing something for free that's not Rockstars style. They will add a bunch of other stuff to make it seem like it's a new game and charge $40 for it.
@Dsswoosh I bought 5 copies and gave them to people outside Gamestop that had a Series X. I never would have done that if not for the drama. Seems I am not alone among others I have talked to.
@UndyingInsurgent95 It's up for interpretation. Being black myself I love racial representation. But for new characters not race swapping established characters.
I think when they made this decision probably as a year ago they did not know if the boycott would hurt sales. But with the sales, it's getting financially stupid to not invest in more content. They could make a huge expansion called' Year 6 Azkaban. Put in quidditch and add Azkaban as a new location. Add new spells like Patronus and Riddikulus. And new quest lines in the world. Expand the room of requirement. Add new potions and beasts.
There are three things that bothered me about Monster Hunter the majority of weapons felt slow and unresponsive, no enemy health bars, and the extreme length of monster fights. If this one fixes those gripes I might try it.
Some of my favorite games have licensed music Tonyhawk and SSX Tricky and such. The release of the Hawk 1 and 2 remastered helped a ton. But there is still a bunch I wish I could play on modern hardware legally.
I was overwhelmed with all the systems and different buttons at the beginning. But as I got used to them they became easier and more understandable. I am enjoying it.
This feels like a gem in a sea of nonsense that has been released in the last few years. No weird-looking characters that look like they work at Starbucks. Old school characters with new tech. If they nail the gameplay it could be a classic.
I think that Forza's rewind feature needs to be adopted by all racing games as an option in single-player driving modes. All other racing games feel lesser to me without it.
@101Force Now that is true. But Twitter is by far all about politics and hate speech. It's a small part of it. And brands can block and even make ads that do not allow comments. It's just getting a lot of attention right now because certain parties are trying to hurt Twitter.
Advertisers seek the safest environment, away from politics or controversy
Untrue brands have been taking sides on political and social issues heavily for decades. From a position on wars to abortion. And Twitter has been radically political and full of controversy for as long as I have used it. And they did not leave then. There is porn on Twitter and despite that it still has advertisers. So your comment is naive or intentionally deceptive.
Twitter is a platform facilitating hate speech and bigotry.
It has been this way for over 8 years. Two years ago I was called an Uncle Tom for adopting white children. Twitter told me they violated no rules. I received a few death threats from Twitter and the accounts never got shut down. The people being brought back were only banned in the last 2-3 years. They are not saying anything new. Advertisers were there 2-3 years ago. So your statement is true but it's always been that way.
And the blue checkmark program was stopped until the details got ironed out. It was being abused.
Advertisers will go where the people are. So will brands. Twitter data and users have been going up. The eyeballs and wallets are still there. So if Pepsi pulls out, the competition will step in and they will lose much, especially during a recession.
@ThatFilbo I am still going to try I may get it on PC now that they only have 30fps on Series X. But I will wait a few days after launch. Gotham Knight took months of patches on PC before it was stable.

Re: Poll: Are You Picking Up Star Wars Outlaws On Xbox This Month?
Star Wars has lost all its charm for me. But the game looks horrible on top of that. Cant imagine I would even play it for free.

Re: Hands On: Call Of Duty MW3's Campaign Is Here For A Good Time, But A Short Time
Sounds like another used $19.99 item for me at Gamestop next year. All I play is single-player multiplayer is toxic and I am old and slow.
Re: Xbox Boss Would Love To 'Revisit' Older Franchises More, Uses Quake 2 As An Example

Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Think Of Starfield So Far
IGN is very politically sensitive and will bomb a game if it offends them. I wonder whats in this that triggered Dan so much.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 8-9)
@darkswabber Out of respect for this site and people that have different opinions I am not going to go into detail. But it's not that.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 8-9)

Re: Talking Point: Have You Been Enjoying 'Star Wars Jedi: Survivor' On Xbox?
I have had no crashes or save issues on Series X. The framerate does drop at times. But it's playable and enjoying it.
Re: Redfall Will Only Run At 30FPS When It Launches On Xbox Series X And S
I will wait till the 60fps patch or play it on PC till then.

I may buy a copy to support the developers and just donate the copy.
Re: EA Sports PGA Tour's Free Trial Is Now Live With Xbox Game Pass

Re: Forza Horizon 5 Fans Are Loving The New Map In 'Rally Adventure' DLC
About 10 minutes in I dug into the menus and was able to remove the left turn, sharp right turn blah blah blah.
Re: Arkane 'Very Proud' Of Lack Of Microtransactions In Redfall
Now I have to buy the game just like Star Wars: Fallen Order and Hogwarts to encourage this type of thing.
Re: Diablo 4 Could Be Shaping Up As Another 2023 GOTY Contender

Re: Substantial Amount Of 'LEGO 2K Drive' Screenshots Appear Online
My guess is 2k is going to load it with digital currency and microtransactions.
Re: New Hogwarts Legacy Patch Now Live On Xbox Series X|S, Here's What's Included
@Stoned_Patrol I did not preach to them at all I just asked if they had a Series X and if they were interested in the game.
I am really glad though the game turned out to be as good as it is. If I gave them Superman 64 or TLOU2 I would have felt really bad.
Re: New Hogwarts Legacy Patch Now Live On Xbox Series X|S, Here's What's Included

@UndyingInsurgent95 It's up for interpretation. Being black myself I love racial representation. But for new characters not race swapping established characters.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy TV Series Reportedly In The Works At HBO
A fear they will inject "reinterpreted content for a modern audience"
Re: Surprisingly, There Are 'No Current Plans' For Hogwarts Legacy DLC

Re: GoldenEye 007 Dev Responds To Lack Of 60FPS And Online Multiplayer In Xbox Version

Re: Random: The Xbox Store Is Going Crazy With 'Simulator' Games Right Now
These games could be a funny novelty if they included out-of-the-box and non-PC playstyles.
The animal Shelter simulator might not be a non-kill shelter. Take care of the city's cat problem.
Fire Fighter simulator might let you toss that old lady outside back into the fire.
Police Officer Simulator has possibilities I will not even list.
Is it sadistic? Yes. Evil. Yes. But it would sell and people would have fun using pixels, not real people. It's the reason GTA did so well initially.
