@Frmknst z Holy geez , we get it... You love extraction shooters and almost nothing else.
This is Battlefield, ya know" PTFO".....
CONQUEST/aTDM are still wildly popular modes for a reason
Also the reason the Medic class is so fun, you can almost keep players alive perpetually
So if you are dying/spawning alot;
1. You're terrible at it
2. You're playing it wrong
I want this to be good so bad, I miss that pure adrenaline dump that the last BF game BF1 gave me BF5 was serviceable and 2042 was so dang terrible and I'm starving for a good mp FPS
Honestly think they were counting on nostalgia to pick up some of the slack, Blades of Fire wasn't that popular was it? I went Tainted Grail: Fall off Avalon and I'm thrilled with it, I'll simply never have time to play this
I loved the 1st Island and had a blast @ 40 or so hours. Once that second map opened up, I realized I've had my fill and stopped. It was great, just a bit too much bloat
That announcer sounds like an angsty teenager trying to make his voice deeper- holy hilarious crap that was awful- if they were going for the gruff 80's voice theme, they butchered it....
@Questionable_Duck Have you actually shopped Xbox digital on major storefronts, I have. The price discrepancy almost always mirrors what the Xbox store does, choice is an illusion
Despite how lovely Gabe Newell is, they/Steam almost control the whole PC market and buy their price goes the game- not a 1-1 comparison certainly( cdkeys and all that)
Nintendo... well seeing as how their stuff holds value like nothing else, it's kind of a mute comparison
Not to mention Sony almost always had the same digital pricing Xbox does on 3rd party, I always compare Xbox vs PS pricing
So no it's an absurd lawsuit, especially with the " damages"
"Non- Profit" sues for 400 million+ because..... the logic of the suit is utter nonsense.
Unless it's free to file in the land of the tulips and wooden shoes and windmills... this is such shameless grift.
Using a " non-profit" to lead with is even more gross( i work for an actual non-profit)
After Avowed was just prettier pixels of Outerworld, I fully expect this to be prettier pixels of Avowed- The same boring empty world hubs built on a Gamepass assembly line
@JohntheRaptor Ha ha, the 1s and 2s are absurd. Rated it a 6 though, I really didn't enjoy the shield and parry mechanic. It just felt so out of place, the set pieces were not my cup of tea either🤷♂️
They updated it the other day and it was front loaded with Creation Club fixes... that really bummed me out, I mean happy for fans I guess.
This game isn't bad, but every time there is an article I can't help but feel ASTOUNDINGLY DISAPPOINTED by what it is. NOT worth 70, but worth a go at around 40
I might be in the minority, but i don't think it's very good. It's just kind of.. okay... reviewers are NOT a metric to live by if the last 10 years are any indication.
Sony is making buku money from this too, as much as I'm bummed out about having my 1st foray into Xbox ownership probably be my last, this is really healthy financially for both gaming divisions.
So despite my disappointment, I guess it could be worse
This is an oft recurring theme with Hollywood. They are so bereft of talent they just keep taking other creatives ideas and " making it in their image" and 99.9% of the time it's terrible to the point of heresy. Gods I can't stand this new class of creatives( boy if that's not an oxymoron)
Every time this game pops up it bums the hell out of me. The planetary art team absolutely 100% delivered, it can be jaw dropping... and that's it. It is simply a very very very mediocre game.

Re: Oblivion Remastered Patch 1.2 Out Now, Adds New Difficulty Options, Improves Performance, More
@LikelySatan
I wanted so bad to buy if for PS5, and waited patiently for the patches, but it sounds like it's going to be a long wait.
Bought it on Steamdeck, not a single crash, a few stutters here and there and it definitely doesn't keep 30 sadly.
Very fun though, if you've got a deck or PC handheld

Re: Sony Sued for 'Abusing Its Dominant Position in the Console Market'
@ecurb7 awesome on you for looking.
It truly felt like they are using " Non-Profit" as a leverage for validity.
And you so politely showed us the proof

Re: Starfield Should Still Come to PS5 in 2025, and It'll Be in Its Best Shape Yet
@djlard Kind of hoping Doom caught their attention and they'll make full copies.
But I think MS is just too committed to all digital

Re: DOOM: The Dark Ages Attracts Three Million Players, Dev's Biggest Launch in Its History

Re: Rumour: Gears of War: Reloaded May Be Getting a Physical PS5 Release, No Word on Xbox
@PlatinumMikey Mine are entering adulthood, and are livid Nintendo is doubling down on it.
I might skip this if it's basically a code.
Re: Rumour: Gears of War: Reloaded May Be Getting a Physical PS5 Release, No Word on Xbox
@PlatinumMikey Well their Avowed Steelbook release was just a code so I expect the same.
Would be cool to be wrong

Re: Ghost of Yotei Has the 'Biggest Map' and 'Greatest Freedom' of Any Sucker Punch Game
I'm not sure if it was check box burnout, but I simply had no desire to start the 2nd map in GoT.
Really need to try and finish it
Re: Elden Ring Sells 30 Million Units, and It's Still Not Done Yet

Re: Days Gone Remastered (PS5) - The Definitive Version of a True Fan-Favourite
@trev666 I loved it, being from a smaller community, I thought the story was actually pretty decent.
Until I hit that 3rd area and.......I just couldn't keep going, still have no idea how it ends
Re: Forza Horizon 5 (PS5) - Xbox Had the Best Open World Racer All This Time
@Toot1st @IOI
played it a bit after release and it was still too much too quickly.
I had a blast, but after 10 hours I was kind of burned out- I simply don't get how this was a 10 for some people for me a 7/8.
Also the Xbox tax.... seriously....
Re: Forza Horizon 5 (PS5) - Xbox Had the Best Open World Racer All This Time
@LiamCroft
Ahem... don't you know reviewers have "taxed" Xbox games for a decade now?
Can't believe that conspiracy has stuck around😆

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on PS5?
@Toot1st
I grew up on Indy movies, family night was a lot of " Young Indiana tv show "
But I am NOT a fan of 1st person sneaking, at all.
Hate it with so much, Iam glad people like it, just not my thing sadly
Re: Oblivion Remastered Out Now on PS5, Price and Download Size Revealed
Sweet this looks like a great middle of the winter revisit, remember almost nothing from the PS3 play through
Finally beat Stalker 2, been adoring Witcher 3 and slow rolling RE4 remake, so much gaming goodness
Re: Oblivion Remastered Out Now on PS5, Price Revealed
@batosaims it took 6 years for just wait
' next year the games will come"
but they really have nailed it, so much coming from MS publishing
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on PS5?
Purexbox.com review was pretty blunt, he didn't enjoy it for probably the same reasons I wouldn't
Huge Indy movie fan, but the game just doesn't sound fun IMO
Re: The Outer Worlds 2 Isn't Going Open World, But Bigger Locations Are a Focus
The problem with that is, smaller worlds in the first game and they were still empty and dull
I'm sure this will be Avowed with guns template- just enough to be kind of okay

It is simply a very very very mediocre game.
