Likely some Halo and fall guys with my buddies Sunday night.... maybe some more ascent. Need to determine if I'm trying to finish it up or deleting it.
I don't get the price increases. People can say they haven't changed in years blah blah blah...but why have they been making record profits all this time? It's clearly just to get the profits up for shareholders. With a ton of folks buying digital they eliminate a ton of the second hand market as well.
Personally i just play gamepass as it's already more than I can play with my limited gaming time. Work, kids, life just takes up too much time.
And this is all just up until next June right? They didn't mention anything that's supposed to be out after that in the last showcase. Avowed and Hellblade I'd imagine are coming out next year.
It's just normal procedure. The EU will be looking into it as well just like any major merger/acquisition. Basically the deal is moving along to the next stage.
I've heard a lot about this game being pretty relaxing so I'll give it a go for fun. Some of the folks in the comments need to chill out so this game might be exactly what ya need lol.
Folks....an Xbox site pointing out that the new Xbox is performing really well isn't unexpected is it. The SSDs on the the new gen consoles are the biggest improvements to me personally. Also the lack of noise they make. The X is whisper quiet.
U don't have the time or spare cash to have multiple consoles so unfortunately i won't be playing GoW as i switched to team green. I know it's coming to PC but i really don't enjoy playing on the PC, I'm a console simpoltan. But it's good to see the key figures in the industry telling people it's okay to play games on all platforms and you don't have to hate the other's to enjoy one.
And let's be honest....High on Life is what everyone wants to play. Cory is delaying GoW so he doesn't get overshadowed by it.
Infinite co-op is going to be crazy. I really didn't use the marines too much cuz they couldn't travel with a grapple hook and just got stuck, died or brought down an army on me lol. But with other players this is going to be great fun.
I understand the person was trying to get some information out but folks aren't happy with 343 and the handling of the game....i think they should just keep quiet and get stuck into the work. Anything they say will always turn into an unnecessary distraction that they will now have to handle somehow. Just get cracking on the game.
Disney Rush is what my kids love...will this have mini games like that at all? Do we unlock new areas through playing the mission's or what's going on here? Was kinda interested in it after the kids started playing Rush but now I'm confused what's going on here.
High on Life As Dusk Falls Atomic Heart Plagues Tale Redfall
Forza will be crazy and I'll play it but I'm not a sim racer so not expecting to stick with it. Starfield is a bit scary due to it's size....yes size does matter. Stalker 2 was almost in the top 5 and my oldest is pumped for Slimerancher 2. Minecraft legends will be something I can hopefully couch co-op with the kids.
Hopefully everyone has something they want out of the list
Gamepass is a great service and a massive reason why i own an Xbox. I purely play gamepass and really have no need for anything outside the service as my gaming time is limited. I have played Indies and different genres that i never would have looked at before all because of the service...keep the good times coming
If you are lucky enough to be in a region with this you need to use it. Last year I got $140 worth of stuff and I've already redeemed 9 months of GPU this year.
@NEStalgia I'm glad i had the ability to get it from the library to try it for free cuz ya....it's definitely not for me. The hype was massive for the game and I was getting caught up in it myself. Glad that the folks that enjoy these types of games are happy.
Back to the topic i do hope that the humour is top notch in High on Life and that playing it again with a different gun is different enough to warrant a replay...i almost never replay campaigns.
Anyone run into any crashes in the game? I played without any issues last night and today the game crashed like 5 times in a row ok lvl 9. Did a system restart and no change, kids n i had to give up on the game for the night... pretty disappointing.
@Bobobiwan absolutely not my friend. Id say i have like 5-10% of the gaming time required to actually try and play half of what gamepass has. I blame the multiplayer aspects of games cuz they fun and you don't move on vs the one n done story stuff. I try and force myself to focus on the campaign games here n there. I honestly think i need to make a chart and plan what I'm playing and when when. It's just too much.
Getting some game time this weekend with the kids so I've started TMNT last night and then played FH5 and Halo Infinite last night with my buddy that just got a series S. Will likely play some Mario Party or Kart at some point, maybe more TMNT, likely more Halo and Forza with buddies again. Was hoping for some time to try Elden Ring but hasn't happened yet lol
@BAMozzy huh...if that's the case then yeah it's pretty dumb having it behind the gamepass paywall. Is there any article with the details on this? I honestly thought that having the demos like Sony for non gamepass titles made a lot of sense for all parties involved, what your saying isn't as solid a business plan lol.
I thought that the demo stuff they were talking about for gamepass was for third party games just like Sony but they would actually pay the developers. So folks like me who only play gamepass could actually try a non gamepass game abd see if i actually want it or not. For the vast majority of casuals there is no need to play anything outside of the service so this is a great idea for publishers. I'm literally just installing Elden Ring now because I'm able to get games at my library and have a series x with a disc drive.... that's not ab option for everyone. Never would have tried the game otherwise....but with a demo i could.
I still need to play outer worlds but these guys seem to have a good humor about them and make a wide variety of games... always good to have a studio making multiple genres from a business sense. And great for the teams to be able to bring different ideas to life. Really a win win win because players get more unique stuff to play
This game looks awesome and I will definitely play it but high on life is my most anticipated game. It just looks like a good time all around....the triple I indie game.
I honestly thought this was officially delayed already. They can definitely take their time. Bigger issues to deal with, hopefully getting into the game development is a form of escape and therapy for the devs.
@Kooky_Daisuke "At least that way everyone would be happy." No one and nothing can make everyone happy so not wasting efforts pursuing that is the best way to go. I do like voiced characters myself but i get that not limiting your character's voice to only a few options. There's a lot of voice lines they would need x however many voices.
I might try to watch some of it at work but it's right after lunch and i have tball coaching duties after work so likely I'll be reading up about it afterwards and watching any new trailers. They typically stream the prerecorded show in a lower quality right... and then upload a 4K version...why not just have it in 4K to start with?
Gonna play it for the first time (first souls game as well) this weekend. I'll have to load it up the day before to get all the patches done. Got it from the library for free to try it out.
This game definitely got on my radar after this show, before i thought it was just a 4 player shooter which isn't my jam exactly. If there's a campaign that I can play solo or co-op I'm in
I'd expect that these shows will always show games coming within 12-18 months and any of the further out ones they will show at Keigh3 or E3 or at a secondary show. But overall I want to just see gameplay and trailer's, no deep dives at the showcase.
I'll mess around a bit but this is definitely for the racing sim nuts. The whole ambient temperature affecting traction and such....not my jam but the hardcore will love it. Definitely looks awesome....the GT7 dudes must be happy it's not launching this year at least...they really look poor comparing the two.
The building your own spaceship part was pretty cool. Also being able to explore the planets/moons how you want is crazy...x 1,000!? It's actually a bit too much for me, hopefully I can play the game quicker if i want to. Not sure I'll ever finish it if i have to go to all the planets .
I gave it a B. I really like the way they just show games and gameplay but SoT and Grounded being there vs something else brought it down to a B. The whole Riot games stuff isn't for me personally either.
I really like that they are now focusing on games within the next 12 month's because as cool as it is getting a big announcement years out knowing what you will actually be playing I'd better. High on life and the Benedict Fox games looked really good. As dusk falls has been in my radar since they first announced it so can't wait to play that. Now give me some Slimerancher 2 information for my kid's tomorrow and I'll be happy.
Honestly who cares. Im just excited it's going to be in gamepass so i can try it with my boys. If we have a great time playing it together it's s massive hit in my eyes.
