I'll give it a try but I ain't paying for it lol

What confuses me is that personally if they only had time to make either a 30FPS pretty mode or a 60FPS still pretty mode why not always go with the 60FPS one that is basically as nice?

Whenever I see games that are have switchable modes it seems no one ever uses the "quality" mode besides screenshots.

I have a Series S but every game effected seems just as hosed on the Series X so I don't think that's the problem unlike that one dev said.

Funnily enough it was a Rocksteady dev

Would you like to play a game?



Arkane is one of my favorite studios (that still exists) and it blows that they are making live service trash like this that can't even run well instead of another good single player game

I said come in!

To be fair this isnt live service! The online requirement is even being removed later. Redfall has just had a messy development and it shows.

It looks like Borderlands with the Dishonoured art style and won't cost me anything. I look forward to being disappointed... For free~~

The database entries on food in Ghostwire are good. Four paragraphs on green tea and an entry called 'What is a rice ball?"

I mean, if they launched with 60fps and then patched in 30fps quality mode people would be applauding them.

But they did the opposite.

Regardless the game still looks bad. The best thing that anyone can say about it is that its on game pass.

But it is? You can play solo but it's also 4 player co-op open world hero shooter where only the session's host gets to advance their save.

That's not a live service title. Think Destiny 2, Fortnite, Overwatch 2, etc. games that are built around micro-transactions, battle passes, really aggressive monetization, are what a live service title is. Redfall is many negatives things, but live service is not one of them surprisingly.

redfall reminds me of battlecry which was also developed by a bethesda owned austin studio coincidentally

except instead of cancelling the game bethesda is recouping their losses by pushing it to market

Flamingliberal and I did not mention live service. Redfall is a dozen buzzwords but at least it isn't in the genre of get servers shut down and become lost media in eight months.

You had to be always online to play it until they backpedaled on that like a month ago.

Same here. I guess since my favorite game is Bioshock setting and atmosphere carry a lot of weight for me.

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

Is the Vampire Survivors dlc out yet?? It's the 13th but I don't see anything on the MS store page yet. 👀

I was already almost sure that Starfield would only have a 30fps mode, but now I'm 100% sure.

Todd likes his 30 frames and all Bethesda rpg's have been released in 30fps before.

I think they shouldn’t do that and instead target 60 frames per second on the Xbox series x

All controllers use the same cheap potentiometer and the flaw is inherent in its design. Not a big deal with switch nowadays with Hall effect magnet replacements but PS5 and XS controllers have their sticks soldered in which is a big barrier for many

Real hurthling! posted:

Its still funny the switch stick designer thought magnetic paint was sufficient vs a real magnet on sticks so shallow that the magnetic paint would be rubbing on something when the stick is pressed, sending magnetic paint flecks all over inside.

This is the biggest issue right now. poo poo design and almost every controller use that garbage potentiometers. If you play games that rely more on buttons and dpad, then the controllers will last for quite long and having to use a welder to have a proper analog sucks. Sony (and Microsoft) missed the opportunity to give hall effect analogs on their elite controllers, because I'd get one right now if they didn't have the exact same awful components.

Performance mode is the canonical default mode*

That's only an Xbox thing, as subscriptions and title ownerships have two licenses, one to the account, the other to the home console. PC does not have the latter "home console" license.

Closest you can get on PC is the family gamepass subscription. Some titles can incidentally work if they are installed from the owner account but launched with different account details, but that's not a certain thing given how licensing is checked changes between titles.

I've installed GPU games on my kids' computers by signing into the Xbox app with my account, installing, and then signing back in with their accounts.

Not yet. Currently available as a soft-launch or test of sorts in Colombia, Chile, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, New Zealand, South Africa, and Sweden.
