Still with that in mind, not in stock in all those different countries? I just checked MediaMarkt, and they still sell them online at least. So if mine were to die, for example, I could get it there.

Xbox Series PC. I kinda wish they would already give some official information on it. I know they won’t, it’s way too early for that but reassure ā€œconcernedā€ customers that the next one will still very much offer the ease of use of consoles and not just basically be a PC. Not everyone wants a PC, well, plenty actually don’t.

But they definitely got my attention, I want to see how it all pans out and what it will offer us.

Eso has added the ability to turn off the fps limit in the menus that was giving me a headache when first implemented and disable the power reduction option that causes the game to drop to like 240p after 5 minutes of inactivity.

Edit: Also just tried it over cloud again and while vibrant HDR isn’t available so it looks bad to me, the game felt good enough for me to do 2 parses on the 21 million dummy. One in fidelity that was 104k dps and another in performance which was 108k dps, that’s only 3k dps less than I would get in native. But that’s not content so it doesn’t really represent what the game would be like during dungeons, much less trials.

Why is a good adventure game so hard for avatar :sob:. Did we really peak with the platinum games Korra game? ATLA is an adventure game about the Avatar’s journey to explore all cultures and bring balance by learning all elements, why can’t I get that game :sob::sob::sob:

There is AAA open world Avatar game in development as well. https://www.reddit.com/r/TheLastAirbender/s/zJcCwlRHeT

And Avatar having a focus on mystical martial arts… is pretty fitting for a fighting game, besides.

Oh yeah, I do remember this being mentioned in one of the official podcasts. I guess I’ll just have to cross my fingers and wait patiently for that.

Not saying it doesn’t work (really a fighting game can work with anything), but to me watching Avatar as a kid what it was about was Aang’s journey. Like he couldn’t just beat up Ozai as a master Airbender, he had to defeat Ozai with an understanding of everything Ozai stood against (the strength of different cultures). And we learned through other stories that the Avatar journey is a central part of every Avatar (understanding the different cultures first hand). And the lack of a real journey is one big loss Korra had for me, but even then exploring Republic city was a huge part of her character development. For ATLA at least, I’d say the environment, people, cultures, and world feel more important than the bending and action scenes (though that’s just me; not knocking the existing of a fighting game just lamenting that whatever open world RPG that’s cooking isn’t out yet :cry:).

Do you guys thing Xbox will get more games onto the Xbox pc store? Not even talking play anywhere just onto the store. I was disappointed this week I found out both chrono scape and absollum are not gonna be on the pc store and other big games like boarderlands 4 and resident evil 9 are not gonna be on it. I’d rather play these games there for cloud saves Xbox achievments etc but it seems the Xbox pc store is being skipped a lot. I hope they fix this with a lot of the big games this gen

I think yes if the Xbox Full screen experience rollout goes well. Xbox has improved a lot as a PC launcher and storefront, but it still lacks visibility and a lot of people think about the really buggy mess lacking a lot of basic features from a few years ago. Xbox Full screen experience will be the biggest chance Microsoft has to grow Xbox as a PC launcher and storefront.

They have been announcing some PC games and I think they are banking on the Rog Ally to push more Play Anywhere games. If you check the TGS showing you will notice many games added to PC that are not even on Steam and the Asia Gamescom may have more announcements as well as the upcoming partner preview. Also, the Xbox app verified strategy is certain to funnel more players to the Xbox PC app which will result in more third-party support.

the tech behind this game looks impressive. wonder how it runs on top end PCs. also, them having a first person point of view for picking up collectables is hilarious.

I have it preordered but can’t give any impressions until November. It’s going to be a birthday gift for my son’s 10th Birthday. Think he’s going to love it.
