Loved Darksiders III. Looking forward to Darksiders IV which should feature Strife (not Strider which is a Capcom game, lol) as the main protagonist.

This was going around my snap group. Might be a little inappropriate, but I found it really funny :laughing:. Thought maybe you guys would get a good chuckle out of it. Mods can delete this if you want

No. You would think there would at least be an upgrade module that increases scan speed but nah.

Yeah Strife not Strider! my bad! though I wouldn’t say no to a new Strider game, Double Helix’s game was pretty decent. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Strife was really fun in Genesis (which was also a great game), can’t wait to see how he’ll play in Darksiders 4. I am expecting something close to Devil May Cry’s Gunslinger style.

I don’t follow this person, it showed up in my timeline as a popular Tweet related to Xbox, so don’t take this as an endorsement, but I found this pretty amusing:

I’ll say it again: Halo may be content struggle at this time but gameplay still rules over many. I will die on that hill.

Best online game one aged like milk lol.

But then you realize how few major online games actually get released per year.

Oh, that wasn’t where I found the humour. It’s the “Best PS5 Game” I thought was a funny punchline.

Oh I know. I’m just saying on that regard.

eh, if you look at MS rewards then you have to spend even more than that to buy a new game. However, what makes Microsoft reward amazing is all of the easy to do challenges and how you can easily earn stuff through bing and microsoft ecosystem. I think the key for PS stars is how good the challenges are and how easily you can gain coins

I never play multiplayer and had a blast with the campaign, so I always feel like I slid into an alternate reality when I see people screaming about how 343 can’t do anything right and that Infinite is a dismal failure.

All these sort of reward systems suck when it comes to “spend money,get points”, although the “pre-order X game/get 4000 points” things they have are decent although I never use them as I never buy games anymore

Like you said, where the system shines is getting free points just from playing games/earning achievements etc

The one thing id wish MS did with rewards is to make it so you get rewards for EVERY achievement you get, the 50 points you get each day for an achievement is nice but it really has a negative effect in keeping you playing as it sort of encourages you to stop playing as soon as you get it and wait until the next day

They should introduce something that nets you 5 points for every 3 achievements you get or something like that

It’s tricky I think its fair to get 50 points a day for achievements and other option would be like 5 points per achievement which would essential means you get less. However I think a cool thing would be is you get 500-1000 points for getting all achievements of a game. I

Oh the 50 points per day for 1 achievement is really good imo

I say 3 achievements for 5 points because I don’t think they will be generous enough to do 5 per achievement but wither way, it would at least be something to give people incentive to keep on playing and being rewarded with the system

and yes, getting rewarded for getting all achievements in a game would be another excellent thing to add, dont think they’d ever go as high as 500-1000 though, there’s a lot of easy achievement lists so they know people would abuse the hell out of that :phil_lmao:

But give us something, there’s so many things they could be adding to it, hoping that Playstation Stars thing ends up being decent so it gives MS a kick up the back side to add more

Definitely for the payers.

After all, they care about everything premium, so it’s only right.
