Re: Redfall's Final Update Is Now Live On Xbox & PC, Here Are The Patch Notes

RetroMan71

@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 πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Re: Xbox's 'Top Paid Games' Chart Looks Very Different In Japan Right Now

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 🀣🀣 I am easily led 🀣

Re: Eight PS1 Games Are Now Playable With Antstream Arcade On Xbox

@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.

Re: Ubisoft Details How Skill-Based Matchmaking (SBMM) Works In XDefiant

RetroMan71

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!🀣

Re: Talking Point: Almost A Year On, What Do You Think Of The Current Xbox Dashboard?

RetroMan71

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...

It does the job... 😊
