XboxEra Community Hangout |OT12| The Dirty Dozen

Michael Pachter seems to be more spot on these days.

I am going to Disneyland Paris this Saturday :smiley:

Do you guys have any recommendations for me?

Thanks

Everyone’s so used to calling it Xbox Live that it just rolls off the tongue in a way. Xbox Network on the other hand just makes me think of PlayStation Network…

I actually didn’t realize they changed the name at all.

They might call it a remaster but it’s more like a remake, damn.

now he has the thousand-yard stare from when he covered wars

Strangely, they use the term correctly as opposed to Demon’s Souls. Remake should be reserved when the game design is altered more than like 50% of the game.

Contemplating playing ghost recon after playing splinter cell. Is it any good?

Also is the ascent(Neon Giant fame) a good game? Am contemplating on buying it cause a cousin of mine is coming so it would be nice to have something co op related that is not a fighting game or lego one.

Stumbled upon this:

Yeah, some people go the extra mile to making things harder for themselves and excel at it pretty consistently. Just doing a RL1 run would be impossible for me, as I don’t have the patience to learn bosses patterns enough to predict and dodge them.

But you know, I actually faced that problem with cloud saving because I was rushing to finish a game before game pass takes it away, but little did I know, I had to wait for a bit before shutting down the device.

Yes. It’s a new fiscal year. Staffing adjustments happen every year at the start of a new FY as priorities shift for the corporation as a whole. It will happen across the entire org.

I’ve not had mine yet either - I’m just hoping they’re taking a while to get to the UK, and not that I’m somehow ineligible for some reason (I get Game Pass via cards from CDKeys recently instead of paying the full monthly amount, so maybe that but it feels that would be harsh) despite having bought the FH4 ultimate upgrade…

Fuck! No Sumo Digital after all then either. Although I think that was more speculation from that one source back then. I really wish they gave it a chance. The Crash, Spyro remakes really showed how much fun they still are. And although I haven’t played the latest Ratchet, a lot of people enjoyed it. And there have been more 3D platformers that were fun.

I guess no studio so far wants to try their hand then?

Technically a remake wouldn’t be a new BK game, but nah, doubt that very much. :neutral_face:
