XboxEra Community Hangout |OT12| The Dirty Dozen

Well… that Silent Hill transmission felt like it could’ve been an email.

Not gonna lie though, that Pyramid Head Nendoroid tempted me for a sec.

Is there an Xbox single player game that requires Xbox account?

That PlayStation State of Play was kind of sad to be honest, it had no hype at all. Thank god I didn’t watch that thing live. Silent Hill looks ok but after seeing Concord I feel Firewalk Studio’s time is counted as I feel like that will flop monumentally.

I guess it wanted out quick before June since the fun begins there.

June 9 to be precise

I guess it is not a shock that Konami barely gave a decent amount of money for Bloober to remake SH2. For all the fault Medium has, atleast you can tell that it looks decent for current gen.

Oh… well, now this is awkward. I mean, I totally love 6.

In all fairness, I really should give 6 another shot… at least it’s third-person ffs.

Wow. Things are changing. Funny but changing. If I recall, there was a meme about Xbox Tax. Well, looks like things may be changing.

I mentioned a few days ago that I thought my house got struck by lightning and that’s apparently what happened. It struck my chimney and traveled down into my living room. Had I been standing a few feet closer, I might not be here right now. It’s kind of surreal to think about it like that.

Fortunately nothing caught on fire, but it did fry a bunch of my electronics! It fried my Modem, router, some overhead lights and my garage door opener. It also killed the ethernet port to one of my computers as well as the ethernet port to my Shield Pro. It also did a number on a power supply for one of my servers. Everything was being run through surge protectors, but sometimes electricity laughs at your surge protectors. So far this storm (that wasn’t even that bad for us) has cost me roughly $1,500.

So yeah, if you think severe storms are on the horizon, unplug all of your expensive stuff. :smile:

The last couple of shows from Sony made me happy I went for an XBox this gen.

Only brought this attention because it sounds like censorship strikes again over there.

Yep, RE6 mechanically is one of the best 3rd person shooters ever and it really showed in Mercenaries. Sure the game as a whole is uneven and it was in dire need of cutting down the fat (which is A LOT) but I appreciate the craziness/quirkiness of it all and the crazy amount of content thrown in there, if you’re ready to put up with some of it’s shortcomings it’s a fun ride especially at co-op IMO. If Capcom decides to remake this at some point in the future with some cuts and some good additions I think that it could turn out a great action RE game.

Don’t surge protectors have warranty for things that die from stuff like that? every time I’ve bought one it always came with a card saying something along the lines of it gives warranty up to $50,000 or something like that, might be worth looking into.

The reason Astro Bot stood out so much is because it is an actual video game. The kind Nintendo make by accident. And, frankly, that is where Xbox is missing as well - crank out a Banjo, a Spyro or a Crash, and we will be talking again.

The rest was pretty woeful. Concord could be a hit - but it’s aiming squarely at the market already saturated with games, like Overwatch 2, Apex and others. Even in the same fucking show Marvel Rivals was shown, and it’s the same game… but free and based on a known IP.

I wouldn’t say dead on arrival - the dearth of Sony releases this year could make it a hit - but it won’t be sticking around for too long, if the main competitors are free to play everywhere.

Already seeing clowns saying Astro Bot is Sony’s Mario.
