XboxEra Community Hangout |OT11| It Goes To 11!

I should probably get back to Halo Infinite now that the desync is fixed(although I won’t rule out my shitty connection), I just need 343 to add the full Athalon(if they haven’t already) to be happy with my Spartans look.

It’s over 326K right now. Any plans for an XboxEra server? I think I’m going to spin up a dedicated instance on my Unraid server to play around a bit to get used to it.

Oh, booo. This is only available for Steam users. :frowning_face:

I think no matter what you could hand Game Freak, the end result wouldn’t be much different if they continue how they are.

Last time they decided that they must launch two giant open world Pokemon games at the start and end of the same year for some reason, it’s definitely not a hardware issue at the core…

The last game also still sold like crazy so I’m not even sure if there was lessons learned.

That’s a good point, but even CoD stepped it up with their engine. Granted, the last one was more of collage of used assets, but you get the picture.

Goldeneye was before gamers collectively decided that only third person cinematic action games count as “real” games.

To think, it could have been a disaster yet Xbox hit a bullseye. Even if it lasts for a short time, this is still a win. And here I thought it was a scam. I mean every time I see it, it felt like mobile ad.

What, did Xbox fund this or support it in some way?

Don’t know, but they did get day and date with PC.

I guess the Game Pass check itself is a form of support.

I just wondered why it’s being framed as blame would fall on Xbox if this game wasn’t doing good, and that sounds as if Xbox had a hand in making the game, and I genuinely had never seen it before let alone its association with Xbox :laughing:

Have you been on Twitter lately? Xbox has also been the only one showing off Palworld at events.

Heck, I didn’t even know about the game until it was shown at an Xbox show.

I guess I’ve probably seen it but my mind might have just blurred it from my memory lol

Just a quick session, built a couple of objects and caught one of the Pals. Framerate isn’t stable and the controls err on the fiddly side, but it seems like a nice, chilled game. Will spend a bit more time on it over the weekend to get a proper grasp of the mechanics.

Put a couple of hours into Palworld and seems pretty easy to get into for a survival game. If your not into building and foraging it’ll probably not be your thing. Basically a tree puncher game with Pokemon elements bolted on… But I kinda like it.

Really needs some whimsical music as you play, early days tho.

Forget “but game pass kills sales” that’s crazy!
