Same here. There is a reason the game is still going strong after all these years.

I actually like ESO. I play it solo in-between other games and just do random quests. Theirs so much content in their and narratively is more fleshed out than any other ES game.

That’s why I was playing on the cloud. And I still had to do some updating for content.

This will ensure I will keep the game installed for long time.

Of, yes, of course. A very good graphic Is important also for RTS on PC and this Is the reason why AOE4 has been very critized at launch due its graphic. I Remember there were a lot of negative comments about graphic, animations and effects. With Season 5, RELIC really improved terrains and Mountains that now are in 4k resolutions and added Better animations for water.

I think they Will update also the textures for the all unit models with the next DLC (maybe spring 2025) and Season 10.

In the lastest AOE survey there were many questions about graphic, effects, animations, wheater and more and It seems that developers will improve graphic Engine a lot for the future. They listened criticismo a lot.

So, yes, graphic Is very important also for RTS because the most of players are casual Who wanna play with immersion and don’t care about readability for multiplayer matches.

No shit, getting rid of story cutscenes and seasonal battle passes in favor of more frequent operation passes that do not have premium currency to roll over to next pass must have been profitable.

Glad to hear it, unfortunately I don’t play it anymore as the connection issues I have with it have never really gone away. Even when I’m doing good, the game too often felt bad to play for me.

Edit: I also wish we could download the campaign without the MP.

I thought we can?

You can download it without MP.

I can’t seem to be able to do so, I can download the MP on its own though.

I just can’t, every time I tried to the MP was necessary.

Edit: in the manage page if I chose the campaign the MP is selected. If I unselected the MP the campaign is unselected.

Such a complete waste of money and resources

People playing mutliplayer don’t give a rats ass about this stuff and producing those cutscenes/cg would not have been cheap in the slightest

What would be sweet is to put a bit of that budget into a 1P-4P Forge experience in multiplayer in a short linear Firefight mode with recordings you and the team can listen to that share the story.

It’s something I could imagine fitting into the Firefight Reach maps that we’re playing right now. Just play a recording after each point is captured. Maybe remove the announcer in this particular version.

They’ll never do it but it would be something that I would far prefer to anything else if they really, really wanted to push a story. A new Operation comes out: play the story Firefight level to explain the theme and progress the overall Infinite MP story.

Also I’m not sure why they aren’t pursuing brief realtime cutscenes with your character. All they need is some voice acting and some MoCap. No facial animations needed because everyone is wearing helmets. It’ll almost be like Red versus Blue. Like RvB it can take place in existing levels. Save costs in every area just add a bit of voice acting with good storytelling.

Heck don’t even do mocap animations. Have them stand around like in RvB. I think Halo fans would even appreciate that whole machinima angle. How many of us watched the first 3-4 seasons and still got sucked into the world building and characters?

Is Microsoft releasing a Robot White Series X 1TB? or only in black?

I think the white Series X is going to be the digital only version like we saw from leaks, I don’t remember if they announced it yet and I don’t know if the white has a specific name.

Yes. Digital Edition.

Avowed development wise was on track for this year, right? It was moved so it can breath a little and give space to all the other big games. Such as AC Shadows, Dragon Age, CoD and so on. But AC is now the exact same month as Avowed.

Can they not just have Avowed release end of this year or perhaps January?
