MoHAA was the testbed for the 'we're gonna put the player in a scene from a war film they just watched' and then COD1 took that and dialled it all the way up to 10.

Resident Evil 8 will be rad in VR I understand it though because it doesn't lend itself to long engagement play, after like 40 minutes of playing a VR game I am done from all the standing and waving around and moving. Being sedentary on a couch/chair means much longer playtime! Even stuff you can play while seated usually requires some arm flailing which can be tiring. Gaming is for the extremely lazy, like me! (apart from the nintendo wii fit novelty stuff)

We used to run on the railings in MoHAA mp because they didn’t cause foot step sounds. V2 was perfect for this. Just leaning, shotties, and railings.

When I was playing a lot of VR I didn't mind playing for a few hours straight but I'm probably in the minority. I am weird in that I just like the extra sense of immersion and would enjoy more ports of games like the RE7 one where you can just sit back on the couch and play with a controller. I mostly just like the extra immersion. Motion aiming stuff is cool but yeah if it's a game that you move around a lot in, it's really only fun fior 40 minutes tops.

Personally the tax with VR is getting all the poo poo setup and working. Once I’m in a game I’m good, but the thought of troubleshooting stream VR or Bluetooth or lighthouses not turning on properly makes me just play rocket league instead. Oh yeah and the entire platform peaked with Boneworks, a game from like 2 years ago lol

The power a Moga Xbox controller phone clip on Microsoft’s side for 6$ with free shipping. Can use your Microsoft store credit to buy it. Haven’t used it before but for 6$ seems worth it to try some cloud gaming with it. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/p...xvt01bf11pwox00

Jables88 posted:So FarCry 5 is Ubisoft bad but otherwise good. There are three major problems with 5 - first, you get knocked unconscious and lose access to your weapons/gear more than once. Second: The Ending is particularly egregious (the real ending, not the joke I didn't arrest cult leader dude at the beginning ending) Third: the stand alone expac was racist as poo poo. Other than those three things it's an above average far cry entry.

The vote Far Cry combat loop is pretty solid, and I enjoy it a lot if I haven't played one in a year or two. It's probably my favorite of the Ubisoft gruel.

Being a stealth ninja and using environmental things (freeing animals etc) in the FC games to clear a base is one of the best ubisoft gaming experiences.. although I liked that ghost recon in south america for a bit, until it got ridiculously samey.

Is there a website keeping up with a list of home brew for Xbox One \ Series X? With emulation being possible and very easy, I was wondering what else might be available.

Farcry 5 has incredibly worse enemy AI then 3, it's unreal. They will spawn on you constantly in the middle of nowhere and are really badly coded. Also please, enough about fc5, I hate being reminded of it.

The peak of Far Cry since 3 is being attacked by a leopard that is then hit by a passing car, or watching a bunch of foxes run past you before a bear chasing them mauls you to death. Or my favorite, hunting a pig for 15 minutes in early game when you're weak and then watching an eagle swoop down and pick it up and fly away while you fire arrows at it screaming "gently caress you you mother loving eagle that's my god drat pig put it down!" And either watching it fly away in vain or actually nailing it out of the sky and celebrating over the combined eagle and pig haul you got. And THEN get mauled by a leopard. The problem with FC5 is it didn't have enough of that. The organized chaos engine poo poo was all tuned to militias driving up on you and not the fun stuff.

"organized chaos" in a video game always reminds me of the hilarious chaos that was Saints Row 2. That hasn't had so many systems influencing each other, there was always something going wrong in funny ways - without you even interacting with it.

That hasn't had so many systems influencing each other, there was always something going wrong in funny ways - without you even interacting with it. Yeah in FC's case they basically set AI behaviors to react dynamically among each other - animals hunt, flee, graze, etc and just spawn stuff in biome specific ways and let the AI figure out what it'll do. In FC3 and 4 and to a lesser extent Primal you get some really nice emergent experiences. There's a limit to the AI units and geographic space, but early hours of 3/4 when you're weak with little tools and animals are just rampaging around and you're trying to get a handle on it and achieve small goals is pretty novel and good. In Far Cry 3 it also serves as a good narrative structure.

Quick resume is awesome and I used it a lot early on when I was trying gamepass for the first time and had Game ADHD but these days I've settled into playing one or two games a month and not changing off often (Thanks Elden Ring)

I resent a game when it doesn't support quick resume, especially since I switched to fully turning off my console instead of using the rest mode or whatever it's called. I'm playing The Good Life and not only does it not support quick resume, it also only has one manual save spot you have to physically visit. It sucks.
