Sure possible. Those would even further demonstrate a viable path for hardware that has zero exclusives.

Nintendo:

They actually lost?! This year is bonkers!

I’ve never been the biggest Nintendo fan, but shit like this is just pathetic. That store is OLDER than the Super Mario character.

Far Cry New Dawn update seems to be up already. To my eyes, it feels like 1440p 60 on Series X at the very least. It’s really nice.

Strongly recommend Return to Grace before it leaves Game Pass, it’s a short enough puzzle / walking sim game with a really interesting sci fi story and actually quite emotional / thought provoking in many places.

A Little to the Left is another fun little puzzle game with each often taking seconds / minutes, great for bite size gaming - I didn’t manage to finish it so may end up buying…

Need to get on Tales of Arise before it goes but suspect it’s quite long!

When does Tales leave?

15th February

Thanks!

I might just jump on this since I’m in the very last dungeon of Minish Cap and it’s about daaaaaamn time I got back to playing on Xbox.

Even on easy? Because someone here a while ago, last year said that it’s probably a good idea to play on easy because of the grind. Not sure if this poster also mentioned difficulty spikes, hope there aren’t any. I’m gonna go with easy.

Pretty rare for Nixxes to miss.

According to the xbox app I hit 48 hours and don’t think I wondered off too much. Might have been on easy too. I generally take a little longer on games but did seem a chunky game.

I mean this was clearly a rush job. The first game had specs and pre orders a couple months out, this game didn’t have it till the week of. This is just a clear indication of the game missing internal metrics by a mile, and needing to make money FAST

Crazy part was the preorder open yet no one couldn’t preorder when there’s a bonus for it.

Was probably pushed out to get quarterly numbers looking good. Numbers are out today I think.

Just finished The legend of Zelda : The Minish Cap.

Awesome game. But now it’s time for a break from Zelda games. Next one will be A Link to the Past. High time for Xbox gaming now.

It looks like a Battlefield 3 Remake. I guess they just said ā€œfuck it, let’s give them what they wantā€.

I hope they don’t miss. They are playing it really safe but I can still see them screwing something up before release.

Putting the video there :

Edit : they are working on a campaign too. Seems too good to be true. I’m cautiously optimistic.

Is that higher resolution than it was previously? I’m unclear on what this patch changes since it already had FPS boost.

I never finished the whole game but even on easy the enemies were major sponges.
