I’m definitely enjoying Sand Land but why oh why do devs sometimes make such weird decisions? And that’s putting it lightly.

The amount of repeated spoken dialogue is beyond insane. What is this good for? Why on earth did someone at that studio think this was a great idea? I’m six hours in the game, looted TONS of caves already for materials and one of my fellow travellers explains to me how it’s wise to check on all the small caves in the world, for the millionth time.

Or just now in a temple, there were three different spoken dialogue and I got to hear them repeatedly with like a minute or two interval. Why? It’s quite annoying.

I still find it so weird to see actual sites that pushes cheaters to cheat and when they shut down, they made it sound like a victim.

I realize that a lack of sales may play a role in Capcom not putting in the effort but I have to say these are the sorts of games that I pay full price nowadays for.

Since the 2010s I’ve always waited until games dropped until half off to pick them up except for a special few and these sorts of games would be included in those few.

So I’m glad to see this happening. I truly hope this pans out.

Kunitsu gami game crashes a lot on PC.

Had 10 plus crashes so far and they have increased as I am near the last 20% of the game

Have you done the typical PC Gaming checklist yet?

  1. Did you check for Graphic Driver Updates?
  2. Did you check if your Intel CPU is soon to be dead (as all 13000, 14000, and possibly some 12000 series are impacted) ?
  3. Did you check for BIOS Updates?
  4. Did you check BIOS settings haven’t been reset and are set properly?
  5. Did you check RAM (and bios settings) is fine with extended memtest cycles?

3 studios under PG?? Ima say it, they’re bringing back Fable, if if they bring back Banjo as well :eyes: but jokes aside I do wonder if it’s just more of a internal support studio or are they really working on 3 games.

Yeah I wonder if one is now the main provider for FH5 content (and provides additional resource for the other two studios) while the other two concentrate on FH6 and Fable…

Two studios are on Fable. One for Forza.

They used to be known as Koch Media. I think they rebranded when Embracer bought them.

I don’t understand why would they make two studios within to work on one game? like why not just make the 1 studio already on it bigger? I guess maybe they’re helping with Fable for now and might move on to something else after it’s out or maybe they’ll become the team who updates it over time while the main team works on the next game.

It’s great so far. Combat feels very good, you can switch on the fly between characters which is awesome. I’m coming from Sand Land and difficulty wise it isn’t too hard, but this is a different story. You gotta pay attention to a lot of stuff. The ability to slow down time during combat is very nice, feels fresh.

Visually very nice, there’s a performance and quality mode and so far both seem 60fps to me. The only jarring thing is how cutscenes are not 60fps in both modes, immediately noticeable.

That being said, really not fond of how the main character looks, just not a fan of that hairdo. Tf bro? But the stuff that matters most is great so far.

Okay, so I contacted Microsoft support last week about the Forza Horizon 4 token. So, it looks like they were able to add it onto my account because I just got an email from them its been added, and i know see that i own it when I check windows store. If anybody is still waiting for a token, just contact Microsoft support imo instead of waiting because I don’t trust the waiting game at this point

How can you get in actual contact with MS themselves though? The few times I needed support in recent memory I spoke to a “fan” or whatever they are called. Support used to be with a real MS employee and was always great.

I was able to contact them through live chat. Unsure if changing to US region helps in that regard, but i went through contact us that popped up for me

They need to hire more people and current studio office might be full? Or maybe new place has more reach to new creators and it made sense?

The new studio could be support and then work their way up to their own thing.
