Been waiting for more of these. Surprised they didn't use it to fill slow news week gaps over the past year or whatever. Open the drat floodgates. I want every game available on this thing.

Gladius! God that’s a throwback. I think I rented it and never had a chance to finish it when it first came out. Weirdly excited about potentially finishing it

So the battlefield beta is a "few months old" build and so was Halo Infinites.

There is a rather stark difference between how finished both games coming out in a month feel.

I dont listen to publishers about betas. they always get the devs to say x build is old, we are working to deliver a polished experience for launch, etc but the game comes out and is still bugged in most of the same ways.

I don't doubt that some more BC games are coming next month, but Chicken Little being on that list makes me doubtful of those specifically.

Gunvalkyrie is good, though!

They may yet. BF betas seems to be completely divorced from where the final game ends up when it comes to quality.

BF2042 is shaping up to be head and shoulders better than BFV fwiw. I’m just stoked to have a shooter to play that isn’t a boring rear end battle royale.

I’ll keep my eye on it then. Loved the beta gameplay of Halo, but honestly I hate the aesthetic. COD is just to hide-and-seek twitchy, but I’m one of those weirdos who liked Battlefront II. Save for the microtransaction debacle.

Yes. Their website used to be AdventTrilogy dot com. They also had a spin off game in development for the PSP called Advent Shadow (cancelled).

I think he was hired to punch up the dialogue, but everybody just assumed he worked on the story. I wouldn't be surprised if that was some sort of intentional marketing ploy.

He might be too busy right now convincing that the Intellivision Amico totally isn't a scam, okay.

This is my understanding as well, so cutting him out should be easy, but still don't want him getting a cent

Matt McMuscles (of former 'Best Friends Play' fame) did a pretty good video on Advent Rising as part of his 'What Happun?' series where he examines famous video game failures, worth a look :)

I looked it up, and the dev is just one guy. He’s fairly clever too. Juxtaposing the slaughter of a medieval village in the early Renaissance with a band in the background literally playing Stars and Stripes Forever over the carnage is pretty rich.

Been playing NFL 2K5 on the OG Xbox lately. Apparently the 360 emulation performance hit is VERY real on that game because it runs much better on the OG.

And it runs best on a series S/X. 60 fps all the way and extremely short loading times.

it's on game pass and you should all play it.

Yep, Morrowind and New Vegas, both backwards compatible, are the best games of their kind and it’s not even close.

Kingdom Come Deliverance is right beside them in quality if you want to cast your net a little wider. It’s not quite as accessible as modern Bethesda type games, but then Morrowind isn’t either.

I’m considering pulling the trigger on a Scuf controller because my first gen Elite is losing the rubber on one side, but it costs half as much as a console.

I've had a scuf and an elite 2 now and the elite is far superior in terms of build quality. The scuf paddles just broke eventually through normal use and the rubber on the sticks warped and melted in a really unpleasant way, again through use.

And yes. I do clean my hands after eating my giant bag of cheetos.

I don't know if it's changed but the scuf also didn't come with any extra buttons or a case and cost £40 more. Huge waste of money.

I’m extremely ashamed to admit that I’m enjoying it more and more as I play it. My main complaint thus far is the rate of progression in the main story. Also the fact that Hulk’s attacks can be blocked by regular enemies is a sin that cannot be forgiven.

The paddles on my elite v2 are wearing out. Not the actual buttons but the little hook area the paddles connect to. The metal paddle is harder than the plastic and naturally has chewed it out making one paddle feel very mushy. Actuate the button directly and it feels fine though.

All I remember about Gunvalkyrie was the Y axis was mandatorily inverted with no way to swap. That or I was tremendously awful at it, but I just remember it being absolutely brutal to control for its difficulty.

I loved Far Cry 4, but the only fun to be had in FC5 was just stealing a jeep or something and driving through the drug flowers. Somehow they made a game about killing MAGA style cultists boring, and honestly, that's kinda impressive in a sad way. I'm hoping that FC6 is a return to form for it, but I'm also thinking I'll wait for a sale to grab it.
