I got a switch 2 after all the hype and now after hardly using it for a couple of months I'm getting rid of it. With the streamin announcement I got a PS portal and upgraded from extra to premium. Premium to 2031! 😄 So will just use that when I'm feeling lazy and want to game in bed.
Buying Wolverine day 1 and will pick up GTA 6 at some stage when it's on sale. When they've had 3 generations of milking the same game I'm not going to be rushing out to buy their next game. As most say it'll be delayed again and at this stage they should just leave it until the next gen arrives in 2027.
£1300 for the next xbox and it going after PC gamers they have to do it. I'd rather pay less for the hardware and keep paying for PSN+. As some of the rumors have said the PS6 could be 1/2 the price of the Xbox.
From playing FC 25 and 26 there's a ton of AI generated **** in the manager career mode. It's quite annoying atm, so can image how awful it's going to be when it's all made by terrible AI.
Of course they're going to say that as their latest console falls apart and is removed from stores. Their next console isn't going to be a proper console but some hybrid PC that's probably going to sell less than the series X if the price rumours turn out to be true. Who is going to want an Xbox PC when the PS6 is half the price and Xbox games are being released on it as well?
@johndoe89 Ah ur a hardcore gamer type and if u don't like a game then it's for a casual gamers. What would ur requirements be to make someone a hardcore gamer these days? Why would u have looked at the adverts and thought yea that's going to be a completely different game than the last one? Games haven't gotten any better since 1985! You must be a joy at parties.
@johndoe89 So GoT was a 10 and I'd give Yotei 9.5. Ur take is just 😂😂😂 I guess u haven't played much of Yotei at all. It starts out as you going after the Yotei 6 and nothing else matters. However, after playing for a while it takes on more than just revenge. You're again fighting for people's home and way of life. Is it as blatent and in ur face as GoT? No it's not, the whole story and game feels more of a slow burn that GoT. Are u a youtuber where u need to be negative about everything to get views. 😂
Played the beta and was good but couldn't last more than 3 games. Some reason just felt drained. Went back to play blops6 and didn't have that issue. Overall my interest in FPS games has dropped off massively the last couple of years.
@CaptD @Uromastryx @Sanctanox They released the original in VR as an exclusive for the Meta Quest. They got rid of their VR department a while back though. So unfortunately it's very unlikely they'll be going back to VR again. Though it would be totally awesome to play in VR.
@acuity1980 Never a good sign not getting an estimate. Though you'd like to think it'll only be a week or so. I got a panel replaced on a CX last year and it didn't take too long to get back. Wait for it to come back and hold off getting a new one. Can then save up for a top of the range replacement next year. 🙂
I've had GPU for free now for years and still have 2 years built up. MS putting COD day 1 on gamepass stopped me from having to buy it. So there was lost money. At this rate I'll just be keeping the series X for 2 more years and then dropping Xbox. As I don't use it enough to actually want to pay anything for it. I buy all my games on Playstation, have only been using the Xbox as a gamepass machine. Adding PC to the next Xbox is not something I need or want so unlikely to spend 1k on it.
@acuity1980 Not a good time for the TV to break. So close to black Friday but not close enough that u can wait it out. Can get some good mid-range TVs, just get what u can get and enjoy.
@StitchJones Yes and they decided to keep it for this year's S95f as well. The brightness on the S95d is crazy like 2000 nits and the G5 is meant to be even brighter. ABL is crazy aggressive on the Samsung. So that's good to hear that it should be a lot less on the new TV. My CX had that panel defect where there were tons of dead pixels along the top. Got the panel replaced under the warranty and the moved it into my bedroom so hopefully the screen will last longer.
@acuity1980 That's a nightmare! Hope it gets sorted for u.
@StitchJones Yes getting the G5. Got good savings on it through my works discount site. Paid less than I did for the S95d on black Friday last year. So decided to go for it. Mixed on the anti-refection coating on the Samsung. It works great but on sometime the picture looked a little blurry. Maybe I was just sitting to close to it though. 😂
@cainhurst94 U never want to go back to LED once u've played on OLED. This is my 3rd one now. First was a CX, then last year switched over to the Samsung S95d and now back to LG. Can't wait to get playing Yotei.
@OldGamer999 Thanks, have to go 55" as that's big enough for the room. I use it as work office and gaming den. Only sit a couple of feet from it. 😂 I got the 55" S95d last year, but using it to replace the old TV in the living room. That's the only reason I'm changing. Giving the living room TV to my wee nephew for his gaming setup.
Pro plates and gold controller arrived today. New LG G5 arrives tomorrow so holding off starting it until that is setup. It's awful not getting to play it for another 24 hrs!
Glad I've hardly had to pay anything for mine and got 2 years of ultimate free left thanks to reward points. Though they made a massive change where u can't use reward points directly for gamepass sub. Now have to get credit using the reward points and then use that to pay the sub. Will see what the service is like when my free sub ends if I start paying or not. By that time every MS game will probably be coming day 1 to PlayStation anyway.
I had been looking forward to Yotei so much I had forgotten about this beta. Gaming room will be without a TV on Thursday. So will be testing out the G5 with this and Yotei on Friday.
The greatest game of all time only cost 60 million! Yotei also has a lot of other stuff selling (hardware) that will only help profits. Really looking forward to getting to play Yotei. Hopefully will get as much out of it as I did with GoT.
As a mostly single player gamer this is great news. Playstation has always had excellent single player games. The shift in focus to mostly live service was a bit of a strange move. The absolute clusterf of Concord probably helped them shift the focus back to single player again.
@Ricky-Spanish Yes, currently have PS5 Pro and series X. With the playstation being my main console. Been the same for the last couple of generations. The Playstation has always been my main console and the Xbox more just for Xbox only games like forza Motorsport and Horizon. With more or less free gamepass since with started I didn't feel the need to build up my collection of games on the Xbox side.
Is there any word on how many units helldivers 2 has sold on xbox? It probably hasn't sold the numbers expected. I don't buy games on Xbox, it's only used for gamepass. I'm sure there are quite a few others like me.
I can't see Sony bring any of their heavy hitters to xbox. At most it will be the live service games and that's if helldivers 2 has done well. If it hasn't then there is no benefit to Sony to continue with Xbox.
@KundaliniRising333 So I reply to u saying if u didn't enjoy the first game u won't enjoy this game and that Yotei is going to be an evolution rather than a revolution from the first. Ur response is that I'm attacking u and living in an echo chamber. Standard defense of young people today. I hope I didn't raise ur anxiety levels.
@KundaliniRising333 If u didn't enjoy the first game ur not going to enjoy this game. They've made a number of changes, but it's going to be evolution rather than revolution.
