Been enjoying Ghost of Tsushima in a relaxing, time-wasting open world game sorta way- I like the use of visual indicators to guide you around the world if you want to just wander about for a while instead of setting waypoints and beelining directly towards objectives and it almost goes without saying that the game looks gorgeous but I wish they would have dropped a few mechanics to refine either the stealth or the combat a little bit

Maybe it's been too long since I've played a big-budget open world game or something but the amount of selectable poo poo seems to be straining the controller/UI

-The long range/thrown weapons/things that you aim: A bow, A Bigger Bow, Blowgun w/multiple types of ammo, a grenade thingy, two types of distraction/lure items

-Quickfire/non-aimed items: throwing kunai, a smoke bomb, another type of grenade that sticks to enemies when you throw it at them

-Stances: 4 different stances that correspond to the 4 different broad enemy type groups and are more effective at breaking their guard

-A few Special moves that chew up some of your Resolve in a tradeoff for doing some guaranteed big damage to your hapless enemies

-A sorta Devil-Trigger-ey thing you charge up by dispatching enemies without taking damage which allows you to instakill three of them

-A few other assorted moves that are performed from a run or jumping off your horse


Like holy poo poo there's just so much that I find myself forgetting to use it all drat

GoT rocks but a major criticism I have is that you have too many toys to play with, so many you can trivialize most fights. it seems clear to me that they had planned on doing their typical good path/ bad path stuff but decided against it at some point in development

something I just thought about is that the classes in the multiplayer mode will likely be way more limited, which is great

$300 definitely seems like a good price point for Xbox Series S. the biggest question I have about it is whether it actually delivers on what MS is promising (next-gen visuals and performance at 1080p), or whether it ends up being more of an awkward halfway point between console generations; guess we'll have to wait for the Digital Foundry tests

I finished all three Xenoblade games this year. In order though of what I liked, Chronicles 1, Xenoblade X, Chronicles 2 in a distant 3, I hated that game.

Yeah I mean there's not a lot there to elevate it above a typical open world game except a shitload of polish on everything- thankfully I really like the coat of paint it has over the bones of the gameplay


The Standoff mechanic is sick as hell though

I dunno, new Xbox looks small to me. A bit over 2.5 times the size of a controller is basically Micro ATX computer size.

If that's accurately scaled it looks not that much bigger than a Wii U.

"next gen performance"

Is that a bigass air intake? If so I'm impressed- seems like a lot of console designs in the past few years have had like laptop-level squished down airflow/heatsinks in the interest of making them as unobtrusive-looking as possible

might make it less noisy

Well, Microsoft has put giant loving air intakes on every console design since the original 360, because the red-ring debacle. So the remade 360, the One, The One X, they all have GIGANTIC vents. The entire case is basically a big vent with fans on it.

Sony on the other hand, yeah, they design slim laptop-level airflow. Because they're not clowns so they know how to handle heat management smarter. My sony consoles are always quieter and haven't had any issues.

If I forget to open the door to the little cubby-thing in the TV stand mine lives in it will just start hotboxing itself in there and screaming at me to open the door and get it some fresh air

otherwise the PS4 slim is pretty quiet for me- hear the fan RPMs kick up every once in a while for a few seconds but it's actually not too bad overall

is your contention that the ps4 pro has no ventilation or do you just not own a pair of eyes, the side is ventilation on the ps4 pro as well.

that intake on the one x isnt giant. the one on the s, the original and the series s is giant. its literally a massive hole on top. the one x has a fantastic cooling design, much better than the one in the ps4 pro.
