And most of 80s cartoons predicted that by now we'd have flying cars.... Let's just stick to achieving stable 4k/60fps for the time being and then we'll go from there. Ok?.........Ok.
Reviews seem to be all over the place (Pcgamer gave it a 93, Trueachievements gave it a 6). Ofc i'll decide myself when i actually play thew game but from what i've seen so far it looks interesting, to say the least.
The gaming industry has really mastered the art of stirring up entire communities just by using a single word. They say "exclusive" and everybody's going nuts.
Regardless of your disposition towards EA the show was quite entertaining actually and the host was a very cool guy. Cringy at times, sure, but still a 100 times better than that corporate crap they show us at E3s.
Really interested in this game but not to the point where i'll pay full price for it when i can get it on gamepass. I can wait for a year. Thankfully there's no shortage of games to keep me up until then. Same thing also applies to Ghostwire Tokyo.
"It's not like we're going around and just making random acquisitions."
Yeah, that's not what MS does either. And they know it. They just don't care as long as their PR nonsense wins over malleable people who then take these statements at heart.
Definitely "The Ascent" as a highlight. Also shoutout to Cris Tales which was completely under my radar up until recently when i saw some gameplay. The rest are probably gonna be a pass.
The first one, although nothing revolutionary technically and gameplay-wise, is a decent rpg with a nice story and characters and interesting world building.
The second is a different beast. A pseudo-mmo with fun combat and a very fluid class system. I do hope it doesn't become too much of a grindfest further down the road which i'd guess is a false hope since these types of games have grinding in their dna. We'll see....
@Bobobiwan Thx for the tip btw. The game does look awesome with quality mode and 60 fps.
I keep my expectations low as always. What i really want to see is a polished Halo Infinite presentation and a Starfield reveal. After that anything else will be a pleasant surprise. And that's how i prefer it. And tbh, while new announcements are cool we don't need more new game reveals that have a 2-3 year release window. Xbox already has plenty of those.
@Bmartin001 You're in for a treat. Especially now that you'll experience the remastered versions which will have some of the less-than-stellar mechanics updated and polished(mako driving).
@BrilliantBill There are more. I find it funny that you included Konami, who seem to be exiting the video game bussiness alltogether, while neglecting to mention japanese giants like Capcom and Square Enix. Or even Sega.
@StonyKL Halo will be the 6th main game in the series and Ragnarok will technically be the fifth. And yes i know GoW 2018 was a "reboot" but Halo also had gameplay changes implemented through the years. Halo Infinite will also try a new approach by making the game world more open ended with a bit more focus on exploration.
I respect your opinion, just don't try to twist facts to make your point.
@elpardo1984 I hope it's true. I played the demo and enjoyed it but not to the point that i would justify paying 60eu so i'm all for it.
Just think about it though: if that was the case wouldn't MS and SE had already announced it instead of putting on the store for a few weeks and then say "hey, we got news for you, Outriders will be on GP!" just before the game launched? It's just doesn't make sense.
After finishing Fallen Order mid-week i got Immortals Fenyx Rising on the Ubisoft sale. Amazing game and looks absolutely stunning on Series X. Also grinding a couple of lvls at a time in Torchlight III.
I don't think it's gonna be Ourtiders. Imagine the outrage(and justifably so) from the ppl who pre-ordered the game(even if they can still get a refund, it's just an unnecessary mess). Also, i don't think Square Enix will hand their new gaas product on gane pass day one.
It'll probably be a release date announcement for an already big game confirmed for game pass like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 or something new. There's a rumour going on around right now about Sekiro.

It's called "denial". It'll pass.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 24th)
It's just multiplayer for me this weekend. Gears 5 Horde/Escape on Series X and Overwatch on pc. Waiting until Thursday to jump in on The Ascent.
Re: Video: The Ascent Gets A Gameplay Deep Dive Ahead Of Xbox Game Pass Launch
One aspect of the game i can give a 10/10 right now before even touching it: the sountrack

Re: Ubisoft To Reveal Brand-New Tom Clancy Game Later Today
Gaming market: "How many modern day militaristic multiplayer fps games do we need?
Game developers: "Yes"
Re: Warframe To Add Cross-Play, Cross-Save Integration Later This Year
I'm interested to see how it'll work since the pc version is getting updates prior to the console versions.
Re: Phil Spencer: Xbox Is Building More Narrative-Driven Games Than Ever Before
Having more variety is always good but personally i'll stick mostly to what Xbox/Bethesda do best: fps and western rpgs.
Re: Rumour: Microsoft Still Planning To Get Rid Of Xbox Live Gold In The Future
Long-overdue i think.
Re: Bethesda's Deathloop Will Be A Timed Exclusive On PS5 Until September 2022

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 26th)
Lvling up a bit more in PSO2 and also started Spiritfarer which looks great so far.
Re: These Nine Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (June 23 - July 1)
Whoever's a fan of classic DOOM/Quake should definitely try Prodeus.
Re: Everything You Need To Know About Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance On Xbox Game Pass
@Tasuki So what you mean is lan? If that's the case, my mistake. Apologies.
Re: Everything You Need To Know About Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance On Xbox Game Pass
@Tasuki Have you read the article?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 19th)
The Evil Within 2 on Series X and a few matches in Overwatch here and there on pc.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 12th)
Recently started GreedFall and PSO2 New Genesis.
The first one, although nothing revolutionary technically and gameplay-wise, is a decent rpg with a nice story and characters and interesting world building.
The second is a different beast. A pseudo-mmo with fun combat and a very fluid class system. I do hope it doesn't become too much of a grindfest further down the road which i'd guess is a false hope since these types of games have grinding in their dna. We'll see....

Re: Video: Here’s Your First Look At Battlefield 2042, Arriving This October
I know it's a video game but that scene at 3:10 is utterly ridiculous. Even for a video game.

Re: Rumour: Xbox Might Have An Acquisition To Announce At E3 2021
@Vincent294 Cyberpunk 2077 wasn't inspired by Deus Ex. It was "inspired" by Cyberpunk 2020.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think Xbox Has Up Its Sleeve For E3?
New Fallout game by Obsidian.
I can hope, right?
Re: The Free Scarlet Nexus Demo Is Now Available On Xbox

"Nice to see people dislike something and not look like a child doing it."
This game is hot garbage! It's so awful i wouldn't buy this crap even if they paid me to!
How did i do? XD
Re: Bethesda Game Studios Is Currently Hiring For An 'Unannounced Title'
@gingataisen Halleleluja!
The thing though is that this is BGS who make Fallout and Elder Scrolls, not Id Software.
Re: Talking Point: Do You Want More 'Narrative-Adventure' Games Like The Last Of Us 2 On Xbox?
Personally? No. I don't like these games. In general? Yes. More variety is always good for the ecosystem.
Re: 'Former 343 Employee' Spills The Beans On Halo Infinite's Development
Someone who was supposed to be working for 343........in a video translated from mandarin......by someone from Resetera.......
And ppl are already putting on their tinfoil hats and jumping into conclusions....
Personally i too believe that the game will be great but nothing revolutionary but that's not the point here.
Re: Unsurprisingly, Mass Effect Legendary Edition Is A Pretty Big Download On Xbox
@Craigyy Because the game is not out yet. The full pre-load will probably be available a day or so prior to launch.
Re: Here's 12 Minutes Of Beautiful Biomutant Gameplay Running At 4K
Looking good but locking a class as a pre-order bonus? I'm not a fan of these practices at all.

Re: It's Official, Outriders Is Coming To Xbox Game Pass At Launch
I was pretty sure that the rumour was false and was actually refering to another game. I'm so happy i was wrong!
Re: Sorry, You Won't Be Able To Dual Wield Weapons In Halo Infinite
Dual wielding hasn't been a thing in Halo since Reach so no big surprise there tbh

Re: Phil Spencer Already Thinking About Possible Xbox And Bethesda Collabs
In all honesty seeing the Doomslayer and Master Chief side by side gives me the chillsXD
Seriously though the id tech engine is one of the biggest advantages that come from the Bethesda aqcuisition moving forward
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 6th)
Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order and Torchlight III for me.
