Yeah i saw that too. Also “Studios that are too big have too many cooks in the kitchen”

Uh no, they have to many chiefs and not enough indians, except its the indians that get cut.

I was thinking lately of getting a new controller. I like the Starfield one but it’s kinda expensive so I was either looking at that kinda-ugly-but-kinda-cute green and brown controller they released for Earth Day, or the white and black one that was in the leak… If it’s ever released.

If they release a transparent controller in green or dark red I might go with one of those colors instead. The blue one does look good though.

Playing Dungeons of Hinterberg the last few days and I have to say that I am truly impressed by the game, it reminds me of Death’s Door in the sense that the team punched way above their weight on this one. Also the metascore is way too low for such a high quality indie release made by 10 people (which is freakin’ crazy IMO), it should’ve been (at the very least) in the mid 80’s.

Creating a great Zelda like action/adventure game with so many cool dungeons is not a small feat…this type of action/adventure is a rarity even among AAA studios for a reason. Hopefully the game finds it’s audience and will be a success because this team deserves all the success they can get and then some.

Everyone who is remotely interested in the genre should at least give it a try IMO.

yeah i think the guy overseeing the desasters of Factions and Concorde is just perfect for Bungie.

Had anybody else run to to the issue with their Series X constantly shutting off due to overheating? It has become very frequent recently and am wondering if my console has some serious issues. :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Seriously, can’t E3 just be like this. They don’t have to overthink it. Sigh. Oh well.

Same. The wrestling inside of me got even more intrigued with the new game mode.

Don’t think it’s happened to me once

E3 the trade show? The ESA killed it with enormous booth prices and a narrow focus on what could be there. Gamescom is so big I doubt it could ever fit in the LA area without costing 10s of millions more to run.

I just think ESA went through a wrong approach on E3 should be. It’s like just do it like Gamescom or any convention, and don’t overthink with high price cost on things that’s not needed and what not. I don’t know. It is what it is.

Have the console since release and never had it shutting down. Does it happen to every game you’ve played ?

Your console is probably full of dust. If your out of warranty you could try to take it apart and clean it.

It wasn’t mentioned previously, so this is great news. Hopefully release dates for that and Avowed.

Launch console as well, never been a real issue except for the last month. I have always been sure to keep it well ventilated, also vacuum the vents regularly but I may just open her up an clean her out.

Xbox Series X is super easy to open and peak inside. Just tear off the small plastic cover in the back and middle part of the console which hides the screw. Unscrew and lift the whole thing up. Clean all the dust inside with a soft piece of cloth and put everything back in. Most of the time it’s enough to make it run cooler and less noisy.

Everyone should do this once or twice a year if you want your console to be in good condition all year long, especially for gaming in the hot season.

I have an extra fan that pushes fresh air around my console when gaming for long period of time in the summer heat. I got that lesson from my Xbox One X which was really loud at some point.
