XboxEra Community Hangout |OT10| Insert Catchy Quip Here

I get it when people critique the controls, but it’s never been a problem for me. In fact, I wouldn’t want it any other way. There’s weight to the character and I really like that, it adds to the realism I guess.

A month ago or so I tried playing AC Origins and I thought controlling the character was horrible, it felt very weightless, almost as if he was forward moonwalking, kinda, lol. Witcher 3 has it too, but doesn’t feel as bad.

Yeah I get that it’s that vibe and immersion they’re looking for, but it’s just wasn’t my thing, maybe if it came out when I had only one game to play for like the whole summer I could’ve enjoyed it that way

It basically shows why no Starfield 60fps on console

I think Sony should have a second meeting on releasing day one PC version.

Yeah, I don’t see how several years old games are going to do very well. Not at that price either.

I bought R&C for the PS5 at $10 around christmas.

I play on PC, I’m a big fan of R&C, but I would never put the full price for a game released 2 years ago and sold 3 to 4 times cheaper on PS5. Sony takes the PC community for cash cows and I doubt it is making an effort to improve the release of PS games on PC.

I would love to see some data on how well full-price late ports fare. I know that I tend to find it a bit galling when we get one of those on Xbox.

Sony doesn’t understand that a big part of game sales is FOMO . Having a delayed release on pc kills FOMO effect because people will shrug and wait for a sale

A few of these “fair” points are nonsense. How can he possibly know that there’s not a focused plot? Too big? Lmao. I don’t easily say this, but something tells me someone was hungry for clicks.

Star Wars looks good, yes, but it’s Ubi. Their games tend to get boring after a while. BGS has yet to disappoint me.

Honestly , I’ve noticed his writing and engagement has changed this gen. Unsure if he’s trying to attract non Xbox gamers to his website.

That’s not Jez’s article. A colleague.

Which one, I don’t want to click the article

Rebecca, I forget the last name.

Either way, BGS games aren’t going to be for everyone. Seems weird to write an article about why a game isn’t for you though.

I suppose they are playing the game. It’s what you have to do to survive at that level I guess.
