@AlwaysPlaying Oh yes, I loved the borderlands games, would love to see another.
On a more completely random note, I think Housemarque should bring Resogun to GamePass. It was one of my most played games on the PS4, so addictive and a blast to play.
@VisitingComet1 Yeah look how small Hello Games are and how they turned No Mans Sky around for a prime example with those massive updates. Obviously, they are in control of their own destiny, but they are still going strong because they believed in their game. Clearly Microsoft didn't have that same belief in Arkane π€·ββοΈ
@dreadful A bit harsh to be honest. If everyone got fired from their job for making mistakes or bad decisions, we'd all be out of work. I'm a big believer that you grow and learn from your mistakes, you shouldn't be punished for them.
@Banjo- Same here, there are some hidden gems out there in the gaming library. I'm pretty sure if we search hard enough, there is a website dedicated to them.
So I clicked on PuzzMix and thought, Oooh! I quite like those simple drop match and combine games... So I googled PuzzMix and saw a comment about a game called Suika Game (Watermelon Game in the UK on the Switch), which apparently is very popular and which PuzzMix is a basic clone of. I'm now thinking of giving Watermelon Game a go π€£π€£ I am easily led π€£
I've never played the Cyberpunk games, but I absolutely loved The Witcher. Who knows where I'll be in another 10 years if that's how long we have to wait for the next Witcher game π€
Nice little review that is...π
I love that they've used characters and map designs from their previous games. I'm having a lot of fun with The Cleaner from The Division at the moment.
@Banjo- Yeah, I've only had my xbox for just over 3 years now and I'm still working my way through the GamePass catalogue. It's allowed me to check out games I wouldn't normally buy or bother with... so hoping most on that list make an appearance.
At first it's identity didn't feel any different from the likes of Apex Legends or Overwatch, more specifically how the characters are presented or how the game plays, but the more I've played, the more I do like it. There are so many maps, really good ones too... Yeah! I like it.... and Hellscape sounds fun π€£
I think because of my age and the kind of gaming I grew up with, I don't get excited about these type of games anymore. They just don't feel like...games... more like you're taking control of a movie.
I'm sure it's a great experience, but not for me...
It's been a weird one to follow based on the comments. Some love the game, and some hate it with a passion. I keep planning on trying it just to form my own opinion... one day maybe.
It definitely won't have the great revival story that No Man's Sky has.
@themightyant Sorry, of course by doing your bit, you do make a difference, but what I meant by 'not making a difference...' is, even though you'll choose today not to play Antstream on the xbox, because you believe it should be played on something that uses much less power, you're still using the power of xbox for other games.
@themightyant I don't quite understand that logic???
You refuse to support Antstream, because it is on a format that requires a server, internet connection and PC/Console, so is generally not good for the environment?
... but I assume you would continue to support a AAA game on that same format, that requires a server, internet connection and PC/Console which again is generally not good for the environment?
You're not really making a difference here at end of the day. Also, Antstream just wanted to reach out to more players... it's not their fault that the format is high powered.
It reminded me of Apex Legends quite a lot. I played last night and did enjoy it though. It was actually quite smooth and I had no trouble getting into any games. With this kind of game how-ever, most players just want to 'run and gun' for the highest kills, which for me doesn't work for some of the game modes. I always like to take the stealthy approach, listen to my surroundings... then BAM!! surprise M*** haha!π€£
@P3nguinprisM Yes, I'm still enjoying Vampire Survivors too. I'm also still playing a lot of Balatro on the Switch... Damn! that game is pretty addictive.
Unfortunately, Red Dead Redemption back in 2010 triggers bad memories for me... (this is not the forum to discuss)... Ahem! How-ever, it also helped me through that bad time, so every cloud as they say... Great game!
Mmm! Not for me... I do have a switch which I play quite regular in handheld, but only the quick pick up and play games. I can't imagine playing a 30 hour AAA, story driven game on a handheld.
Bit of a quiet weekend to be honest on the gaming front. I played a few hours more of Assassins Creed 2 and a few games of Crimson Clover on my switch.
I could do with a sports game in my collection. I can never seem to get through a full season with FIFA, I get bored... but NHL games can be quite exciting to play.
I love returning to older games I've not played in years. I'm currently playing Assassins Creed 2 and really enjoying it. So more games for me to return to would be amazing. I don't mind playing them how they were originally released, but if they manage to improve FPS and resolution, then that's a bonus.
When I turn on my XBOX, I just tend to immediately select my game and play. Sooo... I took the time last night to sit back and study the dashboard. I scrolled up and down a few times, and... Well, I'm not that offended by it at all.
All my recent apps and games are on the top row for easy access... Gamepass related icons are below, followed by a few other icons I didn't really pay much attention to. So I continued to play Assassins Creed 2...
