I didn't even know you could skip fights, lol. I've fought in every encounter. I don't mind the speed, though I did set the battle slider to fastest in the config settings unsure of how faster is exactly makes the encounters hah.

I also have a copy for Switch that I haven't started. I've enjoyed the midgard section a lot, so I'll for sure start another go doing alternative stuff on there once I finish on my One S.

You can attempt to escape a fight. I want to say you hold the top shoulder buttons (L1R1) and that triggers a run animation for the party and you hold that until all three party members ATB gauge fills and you escape.

Double check what the actual button combo is to do that, but yeah you can usually escape a fight if you're higher level.

Hmm, the KOTOR games for xbox classic are both half off. Having never played them, I'm tempted to pick up the first one. People always seem to talk highly of the series and I know there's a remake coming.

Will the game feel outdated?

I'm sure it will. There's a rumor that theres a remaster coming from a studio down in Texas that handled a few previous Lucasarts remasters so I'm waiting for that.

I love KotOR though and played through it at least 10 times. I'd love a remake, but I doubt it'd ever happen.

Dope, I'll try that next encounter. Also, I don't know what happened yesterday, but somehow my playtime shot up to ~10 hours. Really did lose track of time playing lmao.

[edit] also, I've got some summon materia now, and they're cool and all but they use so much MP. Is their MP to damage ratio worth it to have every party member stock a summon materia?

Saw that. Wonder if it's 50 more or just 50 total. Either way, gonna be good. I'm replaying Dishonored now simply because of the FPS boost and it's been a great experience.

Would also be nice if we got some more news on new additions to BC. I know there's a ton of stuff in licensing limbo but there's gotta be like 500 more OG Xbox games they could put out there if they cared enough.

Honestly the only things I can think of that I'd want at this point are probably never going to happen for licensing or redundancy reasons. Ninja Gaiden, any of the 360 rock bands. Maybe Skate 2 isn't completely out of the question, probably depends on what sales looked like for Skate when it got back compat.

There has been nothing to indicate that it won't be garbage besides some screenshots of nice art design.

Which is kinda baseless. There's no gameplay shown or anything. The next big shooter has to be more hot than BR is now and I don't see halo doing that.

halo infinite will come out in november, get a bunch of 7's and 8's, everyone will play multiplayer for 2 weeks then go back to warzone, apex legends, siege, csgo, overwatch, valorant, etc. and 343 employees become support staff for the initiative, the coalition, arkane, rare, id software, machinegames and bethesda games

I think the surprising success of The Master Chief Collection on PC has led to an environment where the new Halo could be a huge hit if it's, you know, good. The multiplayer being free to play is going to at least ensure that millions are playing it for a while.

I dunno about it being this generation's Destiny though. That seems extreme and would probably need some games as a service hooks that haven't been revealed yet.

They showed gameplay last year, dude.

I don't think it's gonna be "massive" or whatever, but their objective to make a Halo platform that sets up the next ten years of the game could be cool, whatever that looks like, whether it's a live game or a looter thing or something we haven't seen before. I imagine they'll break it out and be a f2p thing, but beyond that :shrug:

e: I specifically mean whatever the multiplayer thing they havent shown is. I fully expect the campaign to be a middling open world deal that might still be fun enough.

Checking in to see if I’m just an idiot. I downloaded control on game pass and it synced my data because I had purchased and played it on my one s and finished the main campaign and all achievements. So I can resume where I left off but I apparently have no gun. Hitting x does nothing. She’s just running around unarmed. I can do the telekinetic stuff and all that but shooting is still important and I am unable to do that without a gun. It may not be a big deal because I should probably just start a new play through (does this have a new game +?) but I’m wondering if I’m missing or forgetting something that’s causing this or if it’s an actual glitch.

Actual glitch you're hit by. I believe its fixable by using chapter select to start the most recent chapter again, but admittedly RIP progress through that chapter.

I’ve been playing super time force again which is a really fun game i almost completed a few years back. Going to complete it now I reckon.
