Single player is straightforward as it gets, even getting the collectable. At the time, the roster was small. Oddly gave me that old anime game vibe back in PS2 era, where they will make a game with only 12 characters or even less. That said while it is those arena fighting game, it’s one of the better ones with neat mechanic that could go further in a sequel, which is rumored to happen soon from a known leaker. I liked the game.

It is a fighting game ? I’m not good at these games.

It’s an arena fighting. Easy to grab and play.

Not really ita an arena fighter with boss fights. Think of tales of series combat

Just turned the XSX off but the light on the console keeps blinking, and the controller is still on as well. I’ve given it 5 minutes now. What to do?

I have to leave the house and my dog is here and I don’t like Xbox not powering off. So I decided to hold down the power button on console, did it as well. But what is this?

The system is updating before fully shutting off

Ah, so that’s it? Hopefully nothing went bad because I did interrupt it by holding down the power button.

I’ll find out tomorrow. Probably all good.

[Staffy]

This is looking awesome! Had my eye on this since first announcement.

I really do miss the days when nobody gave the first shit about metacritic.

Free climb would be great but with this setting, I can see them going with grappling hooks instead, or well, it’s possible they do.

Assassin’s Creed takes place in the Animus using memories so I would like to think that they could keep the free climbing.

@Opatschi

The problem with an on/off option is that you can not build the games exploration around a more exploration like system. With on and off system it does not work because you get lost for real. And this is far from fun. So basically a serve all system usually does not work.

If off, then perhaps a radius where you go to the area and eventually find whatever it is in the radius. I’m pretty sure this is what Odyssey did in Exploration Mode.

Wouldn’t a serve all system just be designing for no icons and allowing people to add icons?

The even more stupid thing here is not just giving importance to metacritic, it’s arbitrarily choosing when it matters and when it doesn’t. Let’s laugh at Xbox for having “yello” rated games… but Xbox now has actually majority “green” rated games? nah, it doesn’t matter and actually 82 > 87

Oooh wait, I thought you meant being able to climb literally everywhere. Basically Zelda BotW like. Didn’t they introduce that in Origins too? But in that case, yeah the normal climbing will definitely be in there.

I have a question…

I have videos on my phone that I want to mirror to my TV. Via cast to TV it doesn’t work great at all, it’s like the video is playing in slowmotion.

Now I was thinking of getting a USB-C adapter thing and plug it into the phone and then put a HDMI cable into the other end , while the cable goes in the TV. Basically like having HDMI from laptop going to TV HDMI.

Will this work?

Most phones support HDMI Alternate mode nowadays, I’d probably just get a cheap cable (under a tenner from Amazon) that’s USB C to HDMI, then give it a try
