Meanwhile what I've seen of the enemies in Prey seem a little goofy. Dumb nitpick, I know. Should probably go back and watch review footage as I doubt it's as bad as what's in my mind right now.

The little black head crab dudes were maybe the least fun enemies I’ve ever played against when it was on PS4, you’d be trying to whack them with your wrench but the lag was so bad that by the time you’d swung the camera, they’d already scurried behind you or turned into a toilet roll. Seeing it now though it’s cool as poo poo tbh. When they scurry away and morph into a nearby object. It’s so well done

Idk I thought a good amount of Prey was quite creepy. Mimics are good for a scare early on - I hate when you just catch one out of the corner of your eye, look over and there are three chairs where you think there were only two. Then the bigger monsters aren’t the coolest looking things but are pretty tense to fight or sneak by until you get really powerful. That’s all offset by the sheer joy of dumping poo poo in the recycler and watching a ton of cubes spit out. Or throwing a recycling grenade into a huge pile of trash. It’s great.

Whoever designed the physics for the recycler pickup is a god. It’s like winning at a slot machine or something. Hoovering up the little cubes is so good.

The enemies was also part of why i put it down the first time, along with the input lag.

When I played Prey (which rules) on base PS4 I never noticed any input lag or lovely framerate stuff but I've been exclusively playing on consoles for like the past 20 years so that's probably coloured my expectations/perceptions. It took me forever to get into it, though; I played through it in little half-hour bursts for weeks and weeks and got very frustrated with how weak and helpless I felt but drat once you really get going with the powers poo poo accelerates fast. I slept on getting Mooncrash and eventually forgot it was even a thing, I know it's not included on gamepass but I guess it's nice that as long as I've got a subscription it's basically a standalone.

I had the same response, the enemies just aren’t much fun to fight. The game is incredible otherwise.

Laserface posted:one of the tomb raiders also had pretty lovely input lag that made stealth gameplay pretty much impossible. That's Rise of the Tomb Raider, though I felt it just made the aiming feel a little sluggish, while stealth and movement in general is slow enough to not really be an issue. Also it looked incredibly pretty for the OG Xbone hardware, so that helped me forgive. The input lag issue was fixed for the X-enhanced version.

BoosterDuck posted:switch pro might get announced today (thursday) which will be kicking off e3 season for real Oh god I hope so. Been holding off on a Switch for a while now because of the rumored upgraded model so I hope that it's finally announced, eager to play Bayonetta 2 and hope the third game is actually still being made. Also thanks everyone for the responses regarding Prey. Sucks about the enemies and I'm sure the rest of the game is great, but I'll wait for Deathloop to hit the Xbox since I imagine stores will actually have them in stock by then.

Good list with everything so far is here: https://www.trueachievements.com/gamerblogcomment.aspx?gamerblogid=40552 I am a little interested in Shadows: Awakening, it's an indie/AA-tier Diablo-like but it's originally a PC game, so the Xbox port might not be good.

Our Xbox Series X|S native version of Human Fall Flat came out today in conjunction with a new level (Forest) if anybody cares about that game - it's still on GamePass. I'm mainly psyched that we get to make that game because my son absolutely loves it. He's sat in front of the TV playing the new level on the Series S right now. It's been amazing to see how proficient he's become with an Xbox controller almost purely because of that game.

They have to announce it before E3 so that all the people doing E3 shows can show off their 4K Switch games without people being confused why there's a 4K Switch game.

New gameplay video and release date for Dying Light 2. It's coming early December and looks really fun. The Xbox version works on both One and Series consoles as well which is nice. I'm guessing the gameplay footage is from a Series X or PS5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwJAAy7tPhE

Far Cry 5 was the first game I played that really pushed my one X and it was fun enough. I didnt like the tastes of 3 and 4 that I had previously. wouldnt mind revisiting FC5 with FPS boost now since that was my only real gripe with it. does it go on sale much? I won my physical copy and traded it in after I finished with it.

That looks really fun and I hope that it doesn't get downgraded. FarCry 3 had an amazing "gameplay" reveal which was nothing like the final game, and same for FarCry 4 as well. If that footage is the actual game and not faked gameplay then I'll pick it up because it looks really enjoyable and in a great setting, but I'll always assume the final games have none of the content shown. Hope that's not the case this time round.

They're all separate modes from the main game and toss out the typical Far Cry gameplay loop. The Hour of Darkness one was pretty good but I thought the other two were crap and couldn't bring myself to finish them.
