I didn't know anything about Lemnis Gate. Decided to try it out but it's apparently a multiplayer only game. With 1v1 or 2v2 modes.
Haven't tried it yet but that doesn't sound very enticing to me.

Personally I fail to see the target customer for sS but Microsoft is smarter than me I guess.

I got it as a gift but it was my first xbox and is basically a gamepass machine and not bad at all for that


I bounced incredibly hard off Castlevania HD like... 10 years ago but a lot of people whose gaming opinions I align with say it's actually good. Honestly the kind of 360 game I wanna see because PS3 library is basically dead unless they remake stuff for the PS5 and a lot of 360/PS3 stuff didn't age all that well anyway

So been looking over my friends list since I returned to Xbox and had a "clear out" (having a live account for over 10 years is fun..) but its not made easy to work out who is who after such a long time. If you are a still active goon who got culled then I am sorry ?

New Outer Wilds DLC is good and definitely worth 15 bucks if anybody got into that game a few years ago.

With the PS3/360 one "HD" makes sense because it was the first time it wasn't like, 240p resolution wise

With the GBA one "Dissonance" makes sense because the music sounds like a pile of poo poo run through a midi randomizer

The new Advanced collection allows for "HD sound" when playing Harmony of Dissonance and turns out thats an unpolishable turd

I didn't know this and I own the game but I am not surprised that the Dissonance soundtrack is still terrible. Like I remember being surprised 20 years ago but I opened it now and was like holy poo poo this is "mute the game" bad

Yes. This is one of the first songs that plays in the game.

This is the version that plays over the end credits. Guess they had some storage space left on the cartridge by having such a low fidelity for the rest of their soundtrack.

Same. Every time the tv flickers for a moment I think oh gently caress it’s broken. I can’t imagine switching between modes super frequently is ‘good’ for the tv but this will at least ease my electronics anxiety :derp:

The page doesn't mention HDR, so this might not help at all. Currently HDR is the thing missing from the dashboard that's causing those video mode changes; the resolution isn't an issue because the Xbox upscales it to 4K anyway. If you kept HDR disabled altogether, you wouldn't get those mode changes.

Dolby Vision seems really good. Though it may just be because I had done a poor job of calibrating the hdr before this update.

Hey now I’m a big fan of Eurojank in general, but there’s a point where it completely breaks a game. The old Stalker games were kind of like that. Kingdom Come Deliverance was like that too, and I absolutely love that game. See also: Gothic and Risen games.

Same, it's in my wishlist and every other month I see it discounted to 9.99 but no boost. I loved it on PS4 but I can't go back to 30fps I just can't, don't make me go back.
