Yeah its fine. People are starved for space fighters but chorvs did not satisfy imo. Story drags the game out too much and its like almost 2 hours before the game unlocks its main mechanic

I've played a few hours of RE7 but stopped when I heard it was getting a next gen update. Got RE2 and 3 on sale and am holding off on those for the same reasons. Are all the games quite puzzle heavy? There's a few in 7 that really have me scratching my thick head.

Not really, I can’t remember a single puzzle in any of them that had me stumped for more than a few minutes. They’re all on the level of those escape room games you’d play on an iPhone.

2 is basically entirely a puzzle but it's more about navigating the layout and carrying fairly obvious key items back to where you need them.

Should I bother playing the Sigma versions or 1 & 2 on Game Pass or should I hunt down the originals? I recall hearing that 2 Sigma was kinda poo poo.

In my opinion I'd play Black for NG1 and original for NG2. Sigma for NG1 is fine, just like a lil step down and mostly loses quality by having middling bonus content become mandatory story content. NG2 Sigma is the badification of Ninja Gaiden started and is inferior even if its resolution is better.

I think OG NG2 has better resolution now because it's x-enhanced so you're better getting the Xbox versions rather than the rereleases/remakes. Apparently DOA6 looks amazing with the x-enhanced visuals as well as do most fighting games except Tekken 7 which never got updated but a new one will probably be announced soon. Is Namco Bandai doing anything for E3 or do they just stick to Tokyo Game Show? Tekken 7 came out in 2015 they really need to make a new one hopefully without any goofy guest characters this time.

Also curious if Soul Calibur gets another entry or not since the last game passed the sales threshold (and looks really good with the Xbox updates) but Namco Bandai are fucky about that franchise and I dunno if the team got broken up again or not.

NG2 is not as fair a game as NG1 but my god is it satisfying when it all clicks and you just go roughshod over an enemy swarm like a wave of blades. The fact bosses aren't immune to your horseshit makes the group fights have a very different feel. NG3's "steel on bone" system wants to be that but is bad.

There was some video MS showed off of Japanese devs one of whom was Tekken director, so its possible they show Tekken 8 at microsofts showcase, something lesser like Tales of Arise to game pass, or my favorite rumor Killer Instinct 2 by Bandai Namco

I've heard Xbox secured a Japanese dev team for KI2 and I wouldn't be surprised if it was Bandai Namco. It could maybe be the Soul Calibur team working on it? Maybe the Smash Bros team? They have a lot of developers there with a lot of fighting game experience and while the Tekken guys will obviously be making a new Tekken it doesn't seem unreasonable that Xbox managed to get another team to take the reigns for a new KI game.

Would definitely be a really exciting announcement and I'm still hoping that the sequel is basically more of the same just with the addition of a tag mode.

It's really good and it's amazing to see how much research and work they do to get little historical details right in building these impressive ancient worlds, that they then squander away with middling poo poo Ubisoft map gameplay.

The pirate code is really more of a guideline, than actual rules.

Did some ownership rules change recently, or is it just my new XSX? I used to just be able to tell my kid that they could play any game I owned from my (digital) game library, but since I got the new console, it always a to pop up a dialog saying "the person who bought this game needs to sign in" when he tries to start one. After that it works fine, but I'm very sure it didn't do that before.

If you bought a new xbox, you need to make it your home xbox to get what you are looking for. (Home xbox lets anyone play any games bought there)

If you download AC : Origins on game pass, don't forget to pick up the free Deluxe Pack upgrade. It's a game pass perk this month.

And if you want to drive a bus or do some construction work, there's a simulator sale going on.

Thanks for the tip! I actually own the game digitally, so getting the free upgrade is neat. (Also since I never looked it up before, these GP Ultimate Perks are yours to keep permanently even after your sub expires. Very nice.)

ITs been 3 whole years since I Gold->XBU. I just let it lapse today, am I good to just buy another 3 years of gold then convert so I get ultimate for 3 years for ~150ish or whatever that is now? Thats not a bad value at all.

Or is there some other step I'm missing before I start buying gold cards.

As long as you don’t currently have ultimate you should be good to go.

There some risk involved, but you may want to wait until after Xbox's conference on Sunday to see if they change anything (i.e. the oft-rumored family plan).

the maps still sucked really badly though lol. i ended up playing ground war (set on the war zone map) or shipment/shoot house/etc 24/7 because even though I don't like small maps they at least were designed well. i don't know how to articulate it but it's like they're designed to look pretty first and gameplay is a distant second. and also they're not designed for any particular mode so they just kind of suck at all of them. also minimal cover or concealment (that actually works) when crossing the map, unlike older games

I could never get into a ground war game, hopefully it will be a more popular mode.

Shoot the Ship 24/7 baybee (with a couple other small maps like the one in london picadilly and the one with the warehouses - that does not narrow it down I realize)
