I am glad I didn't waste my money on this game. I played for like 10 minutes on Game pass and it looked cheap and almost like a Ninja Gaiden game. Obviously I didn't give it too much effort and time so I am being overly critical. But knowing that it's a Souls-like game makes me not want to play it at all. I uninstalled it after 10 minutes and went back to Hogwarts.
@FreqMode That is exactly what I don't want to do is have to try a bunch of times to beat an enemy, two or 3 MAX at the very end game is one thing, but every boss being extremely hard to beat just doesnt sound fun. I will check it out on gamepass and watch people play on Twitch, but if this has any features such as when you die, you start hours back in the game and lose all the things you collected up to that point, or permadeath or anything like that, then i have no interest in playing.
It's not very dynamic. None of them are actually. They are all kind of boring and don't move around very much. They should be called "non-static image Backgrounds"
Well considering I didn't find anything wrong with Gears 4 and 5... this isn't a big deal to me. I have never heard of this guy and his involvement wont sway my decision to play the next installment at all.
@IOI I have 27 hours in the game already and i am only like a quarter of the way done with the story, and i fly everywhere. After that many hours, i still havn't and most likely will not ever get used to controlling the broom in this manner. Its bad.
They need to stop giving perks for games no one plays. Give perks for us single players who only play campaign games. Shoot, give me a new costume for something i dont care... but enough with the games like Vigor or Multiversus...
None of these affect me at all. I am waiting for the option to change the button controls on the horrendous broom flying. Being forced to use the right stick for up and down and the left stick for left and right is gross and makes it hard to fly. Also, removing certain locations on the map after you complete them would be nice (not necessary, but nice). An inside map of the school while you are in it instead of a top-down view at all times would be amazing. Occasionally when I click too fast in the menu, my player will be able to move but I won't be able to shoot wand or use potions or anything. I would like to see the gear I collect be leveled up so that I am not getting a billion things that I can't use at all. I would love to be able to land on anything flat while riding my broom. But the broom flying controls needs to change or be customizable at the least...
@bpomber Just watching the gameplay trailer made me not want to play this game. It looked like a better looking 360 game and that was it. If you are a fan of these style games then i hope you all have a blast playing it, but it looks like a $15 game at best.
Anyone who voted "It's not great to be honest" is jaded and doesn't appreciate good games. It's free, comes with like a bazillion cars and tracks, and is just plain fun.
Ubisoft is one of my favorite producers of video games. They make 2 of my all-time favorite games in Assassins Creed and Watch Dogs. If Ubisoft just stuck to making only AC and Watch Dogs games, I would still be happy with them. They have made amazing games and have done nothing wrong to make me not like them. I have never experienced any bugs in their games, and they typically come out when they are supposed to come out. Not sure why everyone has such a problem with this company. They make great games!
I tried the game for about 45 minutes... very slow and hard to control. Swinging the weapon was slow and took forever. No clue on what all the "items" I picked up were.
@FraserG I get that its a cool concept to run your own show, but i just want to wrestle. I want to play the characters and see their moves, not plan a show.
@KilloWertz You mean as long as they Remove MYGM mode completely and use that space for more actual wrestling and create-a-character with new moves and more slow motion finishing moves...
I love these US rewards!!! Thank God I live in the US. But if this is accurate, you still have to pay for a flight home for 2 people. That will be expensive.
Assassins Creed is hands down my favorite video game franchise of all time. I would not be upset if Ubisoft made only Assassin Creed games from now on and made 2 or 3 a year on a smaller scale and 1 every 5 years on the massive scale.
Yeah, i never really cared about release dates. I just want them to show off new and upcoming games that they haven't shown off yet. I just want something to get excited about. All we hear about is Starfield, Forza & Redfall... I'm sick of hearing about these 3 games every day. Tell us about new games that have not been shown off at all yet.
I just can't wait until these games come out so i can stop hearing about them... It's like we all focus on these 4 or 5 games for a couple years and nothing else comes out for the Xbox in-between. I am an Xbox fanboy, but i have to be honest... PlayStation has been killing it with the amount of good single player story driven games they have released in the last couple of years. It makes Xbox look like a bunch of dummies. I for one only play single player story games, and I want to continue to play them on Xbox, but I might have to get a PlayStation because they are the ones releasing games that look interesting and that I actually want to play. I wish Xbox would produce and release games like PlayStation is making...
@TheCrafter1578 Finally someone i can agree with. I just want to play a game at my pace and not be punished for losing or dieing. I dont mind the hard battles and long battles, but i wish they woudl just put an option to story mode so that when you die, you dont lose all your stuff or start over from the beginning or whatever. That makes me not want to play these games at all.
@Dezzy70 I know opinions are many... But this is how i feel about almost all games. Don't remake or remaster old games. Keep them in the past and use all of your time and efforts creating new games using the latest hardware and software available. If you want to play an old game, play it on an old system. I didn't get a Series X to play old games that still look and play old.
I am still confused on why we have these new systems offer 4K at 60 FPS, but games are not being made 4K at 60FPS locked. Can someone explain to me like I am 5 why this is?
I love it so far. The dialogue is hilarious, the guns are fun, the game is easy, simple and has just the right amount of exploring. The worlds and locations are nice to look at.
@TJ81 Agreed, i turned 40 this year and will never stop gaming. Yes i have a wife and 2 kids, but i love my xbox and all the stories that game developers have to offer. I just wish Xbox would learn from PlayStation on their single player games because you are correct, PS holds the crown on those types of games.
I will never care who makes a game or who publishes a game. None of that interests me or matters to me in any way. All I care about is if the game looks really good, plays really well and is a single player story driven game like all games should be.
I dont want to play on Playstation, but i want to play Playstation games... I want more games like God of War, Horizon, Ghosts of Tsushima and all those first party single player story driven games on Xbox. How can we convince Xbox to make more games like Playstation so us single players can have fun?
It looks amazing, but if this is another Souls like game, then unfortunately i will have to pass. I will try it on Game Pass and hopefully it's not as difficult as those games. I really want to play this one.
This game looks so bad. As do all boxing games. But this one look so Janky its crazy. The graphics looks like garbage and the stiffness of the boxers looks really bad. Boxing is so boring in real life and in video games. Hasn't been a good boxing game since Mike Tyson Punch Out on Nintendo.
@BlackMayge Thank you for your post. I agree with this 100% as I have only played about 2-3 hours last night, but am finding this game to be fun, simple and hilarious and I have never seen any of the shows that this is based off of or referencing at all. I am laughing a lot at the dialogue and i have the frequency of dialogue turned all the way up to hear as much of it as possible. The enemies are fine, the world itself is beautiful and fun to explore, the characters you meet are funny and the game is just a joy to play.
I watched someone play this on Twitch the other night and the dialogue and voice actors were absolutely horrendous. It was one of the worst voice acting and written things I have ever seen. Granted I could only watch for a few minutes because it was so bad, it might get better throughout the game. But Holy Hell it was hard to listen to.
Honestly, if anyone in todays world expected any less, then you need to educate yourselves. Price increases are a natural part of business and should be expected at any given time. This is no news to me and as long as the games i want to play keep coming out, i will gladly pay for them.
Considering Assassins Creed is my favorite game series of all time, I know its going to be good and cant wait for it to come out! I hope they dont change much but add new things to do and more puzzles and tombs to explore.
@el_pieablo Agreed, I just liked his banter with his female counterparts on the original shows. But they all left and he just got worse and worse and more and more unbearable.
@el_pieablo Yeah, the channel is still available, but they haven't done the achievement hunter challenges in years. After the first 3 girls left and they got a whole new crew, its just not the same and I stopped watching after they got rid of Worlds Hardest Achievements...
There was a show on YouTube called Xbox On and they had a segment a couple times a month where 2 people would do a challenge to unlock some of the hardest achievements they could find or that users sent them to find. It would be cool to see this resurrected on your channel to see some of you trying to obtain the hardest achievements you can or just some fun or funny achievements as well!
Too bad i pre-ordered the Extra fancy version when it first came out and already 100% completed this game. I would love to replay it from the beginning, but there is nothing to gain from another playthrough.
Loved this game, trying to 100% complete it right now actually. Hopefully they add some single play dlc with achievements included. I am among the few that will gladly pay extra for paid dlc on games that i love and this is one of them.
Yeah, this is a no for me. It's just lighter or darker and a tad better graphics. Not worth the time and effort and money put into it. Like most or all remakes or remasters, it was an unnecessary addition and should have been skipped completely.
I can only hope that this is not any form of MMORPG or Soulslike game at all. Those games are the worst... I want more games that are like Assassins Creed and the Arkham/Gotham Knights games. 3rd person story games.
Yeah, I still don't mind. I haven't played a game that has enough bugs to break the game or deter me from liking it. So all of your responses don't mean much to me. Maybe i am just fortunate that all the "broken" games I have played turned out just fine for me.
I'm so sick of people always saying, "game shouldn't be released in this state, or game shouldn't have been released the way it was". You know what, you make a game and try to get it perfect before it's supposed to be released. You deal with all the investors and companies telling you that you have to release it now or we a pulling funding. You deal with the public who are going to be mad either way. Get over it and realize that in today's world, games come out a little broken sometimes and then they get fixed. Just like people... nothing is perfect.
@Spaceman-Spiff Agreed, the first game was smooth and fun to play with all the powers and weapons you used, but the location and almost monotone color made it "boring" in a sense. Dont get me wrong, i liked it and played it all the way through, but i too am hoping that they break away from the single building and go to a more open world and colorful location.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of 'Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty' On Xbox Game Pass?
