That sucks. I use the gently caress out of groups.

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

It's the Microsoft way. Gotta force update UIs and remove features people use.

Without customization/groups and just dumping all the ads and tiles onto one screen like Netflix/Gamepass/whatnot is not quite how my Xbox UI looks atm?

If they did remove customization then that is indeed very stupid, but I must have missed the bit that made you think they did?

The new UI isn't coming out officially till next year, there's still time for them to tweak stuff from insider feedback so I wouldn't fret about the lack of pins right now.

It's obviously not a problem yet, but I still wonder what goes on in the designers' minds to pick that as a starting point.

Death Stranding is a game thats interesting mechanically (even if cars control wrong somehow) but hoooo boy does it just fall apart as it goes into its narrative heavy part. Really loved multiple mandatory credit scenes!

lol that's a bigger fantasy than expecting a young Lindsay Wagner to show up on a beach with you. Whatever he's got cooking with Microsoft is going to be even more polarizing and insane, guaranteed. I can't wait to play it.

I hope TGS has something about it. Also, that's a stupid analogy. I'd much rather have current Lindsay Wagner show up on a beach.

The final boss fight does not.

I mean I also don't care for the ending for a pile of reasons mostly around pacing, delivery, and some smaller bits n bobs but that final boss fight is just should not be.

I’ll be honest there’s like 6 wildly different boss fights at the end of DS and I don’t really remember which one is the “final” one but I remember having fun with it at the time.

There is a mandatory Whale BT that serves as the final boss fight. You are in nearly effectively no danger during the entire fight and it has a large healthbar so the fight is lots of standing still, wait for it to poke out, then hold down the fire button until out of ammo. It completely chunks the vibe of getting back to the games start.

IIRC were just add-ons accessed through the menu like the other DLC content they threw in like the machine games level pack

I'm not seeing anything in any menu in-game, nor am I seeing any options or add-on content on the game's page in the Xbox app.

The last boss of Death Stranding is a disconnected America. You beat it by creating ziplines everywhere.

I kinda got a little bored by DS just walking all over and getting chased by ghosts or rogue ups deliverymen.

I do like chucking a package in their face for the KO though.

The game looks amazing and has a level of polish that you never see on games so that’s impressive.

This on console? No Quake 2 there, just the new remaster. Should be in add-on menu there.
