The standard edition isn’t out until a week from today, but it’s playable now if you got the Gold or Ultimate editions or via the 10-hour EA Trial. Or if you found a store that sold a disc early.

That is an interesting wrinkle if season determines if a certain challenge is affected. Huh.

The challenges, seasonal achievements whatever, all seem way too picky. I guess I don't know what a "truck" is. Some of them are ridiculously hard without really warning you until you've already driven across the country and entered the championship. Like your opponents beating your lap time on a shorter rally circuit by ~10 seconds hard. Lots of time wasted in this dept. but ultimately, I'm still having a blast with all the wasted driving.

The seasonal challenges are usually quite hard. For the championships the difficulty is locked to Highly Skilled and some of the speed-zones can be quite tricky. This season you have the "Raining sideways" classic muscle championship that is really hard to beat. It doesn't help that the AI in FH5 get more "boosts" than they did in 4. Sometimes restarting the race will make the AI easier to beat, it can be really frustrating.

I got into the quests for about three days when i got my Xbox and then i did some quick back of the hand math and realized the only reason to pursue them would be if my free time was infinite and had no worth.

Dicey dungeons rules, I bought it the day it came out on PC and I'm really happy that it's on gamepass - it's essentially a miniaturized version of all the deck based roguelikes that have come out in the past few years.

I seem to recall that on PC even on a spinny drive the prerendered cutscenes masked pretty much all the loading. It just kept going non-stop.

They don't, at all. The loading lengths are hardcoded, so regardless of how long they actually take to load it will say "loading" and not let you skip the cutscene until the designated time. Theres a mod for PC that lets you skip cutscenes due to this, but there were some spots where you absolutely have to watch parts of the cutscene because the game does a hard crash if you don't let it do its thing in some parts

Oh, right. That sucked.

But the loading still mostly took place during cutscenes instead of requiring static loading screens, which I appreciated at the time. Although before long the obnoxiousness of the cutscenes (with the wild text effects and stuff) started to annoy me.

Anyway it's the worst Max Payne, so I don't really want to replay it.

The Xbox looks cool with that pattern, though. I've really come around on the series X design. PS5 still looks ridiculous.

It actually makes a lot of sense when you think about it. The campaign is the part that’s coming in hot - the multiplayer has been incredibly solid across the flights they’ve done.

Stealth dropping it at the anniversary event, gated behind GP for the EA period would blow up the internet and I bet push a ton of $1 game pass subs. You also effectively get two “launch” PR windows with the single player launch coming a few weeks later.

All while Sony basically has nothing in Holiday.

Edit: I could also see them doing a $50 “upgrade” for early access like they did with Forza. That clearly did very well for them.

Double edit: lol they’re really doing it. And I’m out of town early next week goddamit:
