Pretty nice backwards compatibility sale on the xbox store, I picked up Deus Ex: Human Revolution for $2.24 and Red Dead Redemption 1 for $9.89. I also decided to throw $4 at finding out how bad the OLD Prey is.

They're still selling Prey 2006? I'm pretty sure that got pulled for sale from Steam a while ago!

DE on 360 is the only version that doesnt come pre-hosed up now, although on pc you can mod

I found the 360 version of Prey to be a much lesser experience (like Quake 4 was).

Raven's had a bunch of exoduses over the years. The ones that come to mind are 1997-ish after they sold to Activision (which led to the founding of Human Head, which fell apart recently and kinda-sorta became Roundhouse Studios over at Bethesda) and a big pile of layoffs in 2009-2010 after the double-whammy of Wolfenstein 2009 underperforming and Singularity escaping development hell with all the scars it entails. I know the two founders, the Raffel brothers, are still there, and a quick scan of Mobygames suggests that as recently as Blops 4 there were still a bunch of folks from the Quake 4 era... dunno about anything newer, though.

It's a long story, but it was pulled from Steam because they ran out of CD Keys and can't generate any more. The 360 version naturally doesn't need a CD Key, so it continues to roam the Earth.

Quake 4 wasn't the best game but the scene where you get stoggified ruled, still remember it exactly.

One of those Prey CD keys is mine, I liked Prey along with Quake 4, but that's from an era when console ports of shooters were much further behind the PC releases than they are now.

I guess at least we aren't talking about the Xbox port of Doom 3, that was a real mess.

Doom 3 port is a technical marvel. Are you sure you don't mean Half-Life 2? That was a wretched port.

I'm not really gonna refund my PS5, I'm sure the multimillion selling console company with GOTY producing studios will do just fine. But to pretend CoD possibly not being on the platform is nbd is some pretty amazing mental gymnastics

The big guy at the end of the ice chapter of gears is legit one of the worst boss fights I have done in as long as I can remember. Wtf where they thinking making a boss that takes like 15 minutes to kill and then making every one of his attacks a 1 hit kill? I’ve died like 10 times on this because at some point there is always a bad camera angle or ice pillar that prevents me from rolling out of the way and I have to start the entire thing over.

It's one of those fights where I feel like I could do a better job of winning using my own human body and abilities rather than a powerful video game character's.

Forspoken. Ghostwire. Stray. Sifu looks good. Babylon's Fall looks very bad.

Forspoken is my hot tip for shittest major game of the year. It will be worse than Days Gone.

is this the one where you gotta shoot the ice to break it so it falls in then you shoot it in the back?

cos yeah thats right where I gave the gently caress up. that sequence should not take 10+ rounds of freeze/shoot in the back. its entirely un fun.

It launched in terrible shape and bears some ugly narrative and pacing scars to this day but it became a post launch support darling and being on sale like immediately for years made it a huge hit with like 7 million sales. Still an embarrassing game for sony execs and they got rid of the guy in charge over the insanely bad launch and wouldnt let him make another.

Doom 3 was something of a technical marvel that they got it to fit on the OG Xbox hardware at all, and it had a co-op mode the PC version didn't have! Pity it's not on Xbone back-compat. It's playable on the 360's back-compat but with crashes after a period of time due to some memory leak somewhere.
