Mind blowing? I thought it looked really bad to be honest, the lead feels very generic and another "Aloy" type character i'm getting tired with. Gameplay looked very bland and the planet shown looks exactly like the main planet in Jedi Survivor what i grew very sick off by Platinum completion.
Its basically FC: Avatar and as a FC fan i'm not happy with that choice as that formula is beyond stale now. Visually its saved by the art design of Avatar's universe because visual fidelity wise i thought it looked very last gen. Overall was excited prior to the footage but now i'm not fussed.
@belmont The Ultimate version gets you the Year 1 Season Pass that gets you the extra characters and a ton of cosmetics. This is just a regular battle pass to earn some cosmetics over the next month, pretty much every live service game does them.
@GodofCapcom I've owned my Xbox for over 2 years dude and i got it for far more then one game 😂. Yeah this year is a tough year and after the showcase and direct its clear Starfield has what it takes and more, comments like yours reminds me of people who thought Fallout 3 and Skyrim wouldn't stand a chance of GOTY back on the day.
@Krysus I mean the issue isn't that MS have exclusive games and more they said Bethesda titles will remain 3rd party only for MS to reveal they were lying. If MS from the off said Bethesda titles are now 1st party and promised Sony nothing then that article wouldn't exist. MS don't care that SM is 1st party just like Sony don't care Halo is.
@Tharsman Phil can say what he wants but his actions speak far louder, the guy is a pro at bullsh*tting and even that quote you linked has aged like milk considering the amount of timed or exclusive deals he's made for Xbox in the past few years and the little focus he's put into 1st party to the point off saying they don't matter.
As for KOTOR well its also a PC game more so then Xbox and the remake is hitting that, its also a Switch game so its not really a Xbox game anymore. In fact the Xbox version is the worst version of the game as the PC and Switch versions are far better.
Imagine if its revealed its exclusive to Xbox? Will be nice seeing the mental gymnastics Phil and his fanboys will say to justify it and yeah i actually have a bad feeling P3 will be a exclusive as will many other 3rd party games that have ties to PS. We all know MS hate making games and Phil has pretty much admitted that so buying 3rd party exclusivity seems par the course.
@dschons Not really, this isn't a pick to play this part as Alan or the new character its a you play this part as this character. To ignore her sections is to ignore half the game, ignore Bright Falls and ignore half the story. She's as vital to the game as Alan is its just it appears the game let's you decide which "campaign" to focus on.
Imagine if in GoW18 it was revealed you're forced to play as Atreus for 50% of the game and Kratos barely appears in that 50%. This is what Alan Wake 2 feels like.
An Alan Wake game where only 50% of the game has Alan Wake 🙄 Yeah it looks amazing visually and as a big fan of Alan Wake and Control i shell get this Day 1 but i can't say i'm thrilled that Alan Wake barely feels like the focus of his own game.
@Agramonte Well you were never getting a "WOW" like game with Rise considering its a Switch game, it was made for and designed around the Switch and was never meant to be Monster Hunter 6.
@Tharsman Honestly i don't know i'm just going by what i've heard else where. I do agree though it would be great if sales numbers were easy to find for these things.
@BeerIsAwesome You know that wouldn't shock me if MS pulled a stunt like that. Would kill the series though as the audience is on PS and Switch and from what i've heard the series hasn't been a hit on Xbox even with GP.
@AhmadSumadi I mean i'm still getting it but after spending 13 years really wanting a sequel i can't say i'm thrilled the title character and the main draw of the game has to share it with a brand new character who has had no ties to the Alan Wake/Control universe till now.
Going to be honest i'm not thrilled about having another playable character. I want to play as Alan Wake in Alan Wake 2 not someone else, maybe if it was Jesse from Control it would be different as it would nicely tie in with that but instead its a new character i don't care about.
@RedRiot193 I'm going by the comics not that abomination of a show and in the comics Harry has never been Venom, taking cues from the worst SM cartoons out there would certainly be interesting. The fact Peter has the black suit suggests he's already been exposed to the substance in Harry's tube implying its no longer with him, in the reveal the reveal trailer that felt very much like Eddie's Venom and not like Mac's or Agent Venom so the moment if and when Eddie shows up its obvious where they're going. Look at Doc Ock they kept him out of marketing and focused on Mister Negative yet as soon as Ock was on screen we all knew who the big bad will be.

Re: Poll: Was Ubisoft Forward 2023 Princely or Just Pants?
Mirage aside i thought it was cringey mess.
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Is Coming to PS5 Soon, But Injustice 3 Isn't Out of the Question
Really hope a 3rd does happen as the first two games are fantastic.

Re: Street Fighter 6's Battle Pass Brings the Heat with Retro Games, Classic Music, and More
At £3.99 i bought it and as you earn that back i shell use it for the next one.
Re: What Time Is Ubisoft Forward 2023?
Really looking forward to seeing more of the new AC. Hopefully we get some Avatar gameplay as well.
Re: Reaction: Solid Xbox Showcase Should Give Sony Some Incentive to Stop Being So Damn Cloak and Daggers About PS5, PS4
MS killed it tonight in my opinion, Sony really need to step up.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Priced at £25 / $30 on PS5
@rjejr PS5, Series and PC only.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Priced at £25 / $30 on PS5
Fair price if its up to the standard of what TW3 offered.

Re: Surprise! Persona 3 Reload Is Real, and It Definitely Didn't Leak
@Neverwild Starfield is looking like my dream game, i'm extremely hyped for it especially after the direct.
Re: Surprise! Persona 3 Reload Is Real, and It Definitely Didn't Leak
@Neverwild On the otherhand Starfield is looking like to be the only game to stand a chance of beating TotK.
I loved what the showcase shown, i have more of a sense of Xbox's future what looks bright while with PS5 all i know is live service and Spider-Man.
Re: Surprise! Persona 3 Reload Is Real, and It Definitely Didn't Leak
The Xbox showcase is making a mockery of the PS showcase.
Re: Don't Panic if Third-Party Games Aren't Immediately Announced for PS5, PS4 in the Aftermath of Xbox Showcase
How desperate must you be to have timed exclusive on frigging announcements? 🤣🤣🤣
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Will Bury Krypt System for Unlocks, Replacement Teased for PS5 Release
Hope its good as i loved the Krypt in MK11.

Re: Apparently Some People Hate the New PS5, PS4 Prince of Persia Game
I thought it looked really good.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2's Wild Range of Suits Includes Stunning Original Designs
@Krysus Isn't that due to MS promising Starfield to be 3rd party only for MS to backtrack that?
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2's Wild Range of Suits Includes Stunning Original Designs
@Tasuki Another Xbox child who doesn't understand how any of this works. Notice how Sony take zero issue with Redfall or Starfield?

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Pre-Orders Begin 16th June, Various Editions Detailed
Digital Deluxe for me.
Re: Poll: Was Summer Game Fest 2023 a Sizzler or a Wash Out?
It was fine, dragged on a bit but it had its moments and some good stuff shown and revealed.
Its the Xbox showcase i'm excited for though as i have a feeling MS have some big stuff ready for it from both them and 3rd party devs.
Re: Sonic Superstars Is a New Spin on 2D Hedgehog Action, Hits PS5, PS4 in 2023
I thought this looks pretty good, really hopeful for it.
Re: Mortal Kombat 1's Breathtaking First PS5 Footage Stains Summer Game Fest
Looks fantastic and easily a day 1 buy. Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8 and MK1 damn us fighting fans are eating well this year.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Wraps Up on PS5, PS4 This August
@Agramonte Well you were never getting a "WOW" like game with Rise considering its a Switch game, it was made for and designed around the Switch and was never meant to be Monster Hunter 6.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Wraps Up on PS5, PS4 This August
@Ambassador_Kong The Endgame is where the difficulty lies especially once you pass MR100 and the harder investigations unlock what are brutal.
Re: After Attracting One Million Players, Street Fighter 6's Sales Have Now Passed a Milestone
Bought it along with Diablo 4 yesterday and its very good, Capcom is just putting out hit after hit right now.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Diablo 4?
@hhrrsn Says the person using a device to type that what has ties to actual slavery.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Diablo 4?
Yeah i got it today, only done the Prologue so far though. Playing as a Sorcerer as usual.
Re: The Next Capcom Showcase Airs Next Week
@KaijuKaiser I was agreeing in that people shouldn't expect DMC6 to be announced and gave a reason why.
Re: The Next Capcom Showcase Airs Next Week
@KaijuKaiser DMC6 isn't going to happen anytime soon when Dragons Dogma 2 is being made as the DMC team are the Dogma team.
Re: Diablo 4's Barely Out on PS5, PS4 But Of Course Someone's Reached Level 100 on Hardcore
@StylesT Considering its their job and they make stupid amounts of money from it then yeah some life.
Re: The PS5's Unfathomably Ambitious Phantom Blade Zero Won't Have Microtransactions
Really hope the game lives up to that trailer because that damn combat looks insane.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Street Fighter 6 Tackles the Top 10, But Can't KO Zelda

Re: Dead Cells DLC Planned Until 2025 as Game Sells 10 Million Copies

Re: Rumour: A New Persona 5 Game Announcement Is Imminent
As much as i love P5 and its characters i would much rather have P6 now as P5 has been milked to death.

Re: Insomniac Could Bring Down the Internet Adapting This 90s Homage in Spider-Man 2
@RedRiot193 I'm going by the comics not that abomination of a show and in the comics Harry has never been Venom, taking cues from the worst SM cartoons out there would certainly be interesting. The fact Peter has the black suit suggests he's already been exposed to the substance in Harry's tube implying its no longer with him, in the reveal the reveal trailer that felt very much like Eddie's Venom and not like Mac's or Agent Venom so the moment if and when Eddie shows up its obvious where they're going. Look at Doc Ock they kept him out of marketing and focused on Mister Negative yet as soon as Ock was on screen we all knew who the big bad will be.
