You know... I'm really looking forward to this. I haven't played a COD game in ages, especially online multiplayer. It's great that it's coming straight to GamePass too π
Will need to look at making space though on the hard drive π€
@Fishticon I can honestly say, that in the 8 months or so that I have used Antstream on the XBOX, from memory I have only had 3 or 4 occasions where I noticed a game stutter or seriously lag.
@Techno92LFC Same here... I've played a few COD games over the years, but never from day one. This will be a first day one for me too... quite looking forward to it.
I haven't played this in a while, but I did enjoy what I played at release. How-ever, with the new BO6 just around the corner and the announcement of a new Battlefield π "can't wait"... it just might start to lose players π€·ββοΈ
π Wow! I remember Last Ninja 2 back on the Amiga, I too was a big fan of the isometric view. This always reminds me of another isometric game I used to play called Cadaver, the graphic style was amazing for it's time.... π
I've only ever did an Early Access once, and I regretted it, so I won't bother again.
I am looking forward to this game though, I've not played a COD game for a long while.
I never had one, but a friend of mine did and yeah, they were good times. Project Gotham Racing was played a lot.
My first xbox was the 360, i bloody loved it.
@HonestHick "Watching videos on it about how the power is going to be used as well as just the overall performance i will get with it."
Rinse and repeat... Most powerful console is announced... Gamers then spend the next years of its cycle complaining about the lack of games that have made use of this power. π
All this chat about FPS and Raytracing doesn't do anything for me... game companies will still provide mediocre AAA games that aren't fun to play for premium cost... but HEY! At least the graphics are super realistic. π
NICE!!!! Played a bit of this on the PS4 (didn't run that great), but it was so much fun. Hopefully it runs better on the Series S. Will definitely jump back into this.
Was moving house over the weekend (not actually moving a house) so not been playing anything... internet getting installed tomorrow... having withdrawal symptoms π«
@Gamer83 Granted, you would do your research before buying, but if you lined up all the XBOX in no particular order, in front of someone who knows nothing about them... I don't think they'd necessarily get the order right from old to new π€·ββοΈ
It does have it's wobble every now and again, but I love this service. Back in the day, with most of the retro games, the internet didn't exist, so there were no online leaderboards, you could only compare with your friends. So in my opinion, this service has really brought these games to life, especially with the Tournaments and Challenges.... Yeah! I love it...
@The-Grezzly-Bear Yeah I agree, it's been painful to watch. I'm undecided whether to watch them later or download Skull Island: Rise of Kong and play that π€£
@Ryu_Niiyama True... In my early days of gaming how-ever, when there was no internet, you obviously didn't frequent websites, just gaming magazines. So I was never exposed to all the politics and negativity.
Yes... Dark, Gritty, Linear... I want to feel that claustrophobic horror about to burst through every wall and every corner that the campaign can throw at me π€£π€£
@BBB Yeah, I was hoping for some Div3 news, but I was super excited to hear that they are still updating Div2 for at least another year by the sounds of it.
I enjoyed this one.... Outlaws looks brilliant... and I was excited to see The Division 2 still getting supported with more seasons and updates, it's one of my most played games, love it... and they've only just started??? I love those sneaky comments they throw in at the end, it keeps you wondering what's to come. π¬
@Danny272 I do see your point to be honest. Everything looked great, but I was mostly excited about DOOM and GoW too, but that's looking like next year. A lot of the other games don't really appeal to me, but I will give them a try.
I did like the in-depth look at Black Ops 6, but I'm surprised there was no other mention of the recent Activision deal.
Oh when I heard those subtle music notes, I knew straight away where this was going... Nostalgia is such a strong feeling, it sent a tingle down my back... I am really excited for this one. π¬
There were some really nice looking games in the show. Not all of them appeal to me, but as most of them are coming to gamepass, I'll definitely give them a go. Was hoping to hear more about Activision games, but nothing. π€·ββοΈ Most excited for DOOM and Gears of War.
π€£ You guys can be so dramatic...
If I let the politics of every business I subscribe to, or pay to, bother me, I'd now be living off grid in the wilds.
I just play the games I enjoy playing... I have no interest with all the politics that goes on behind the scenes.
