It's pretty sad how dysfunctional 343 is, they are clearly a lot of people there that want to do good work but the management is completely hosed.

Given the past games I dont believe that anyone in charge at 343 really knows what people want from Halo. They keep chasing gimmicks and hot new trends, and it just makes the entire experience feel watered down and off brand.

Are the little arrows on a games tile for quick resume?

My initial purchase of Game Pass Ultimate just ran out (I upgraded for £1 awhile back) and now it wants me to pay monthly. What's the cheapest way to get more now? I'm in the UK if that makes a difference.

What's the cheapest way to stock up on my Gamepass Sub these days?

Can you still upgrade for £1?

We might hear about a release date for BG3 too.

They were saying on Twitter the other day that it was still in track for this year on Xbox, so they must have a date lined up.

A Game Pass reveal would be cool for BG3 honestly.

Thanks, very informative. And how does the Control "AWE" dlc fit into this? I've heard people say it's very clearly a tie-in with AW, but I have no idea since I've never played that. I think it did feature a guy at a typewriter in one or two cutscenes.

It's a direct lead into Alan Wake 2. The entire story of AWE is about Control's investigation into the events of the first game and them dispatching an agent to investigate the second game. That agent is a character in Alan Wake 2, as are several other Control characters.

I kept waiting for the gameplay to get good, then I had to sit through the Verizon commercial to get an achievement and realized that's not happening.

Control though my God what a loving LEAP in quality.

Quantum Break is also good and was made between Alan Wake and Control.

I'll tell you what's wrong with the character designs: There is a guy called Captain Boomerang that shoots a gun 90% of the time. How do you make boomerangs your entire thing and still use an automatic rifle. He should rename himself to Captain Gun, the fraud.

Well you see he's only in the game because he was in the film, but his power would be poo poo for gameplay, so...

Etc, etc.

Honestly, each Arkham game was a steady decline from the one before it so why shouldn't this by the same?

Charting a quality line it'll probably be about where you'd expect a follow up to Arkham Knight to land.

AAAA is the term for Destiny clones (at least when it comes to all the cruft around the main game loop, which can differ). They're supposed to be once in a generation titles that completely monopolize the attention of the entire gaming public, so of course everybody is now making ten of them in an industry version of Masayoshi Son's Vision Fund - you only need to hit the jackpot once.

But Destiny wasn't even that successful and Destiny 2 was a failure?

Oh cool Maneater's coming back. Don't play it.

Why not? I quite enjoyed it when I played it and the DLC.

Did you just not like it or are the developers bad people or something?

My girlfriend bought me Avatar and it's probably the best Far Cry game since 4. They really did a great job with creating some new mechanics that make the whole "native" thing seem woven into the gameplay loop.

I'm not even crazy about the lore of the movies (I think they're pretty) but its setting is wild. The environment is hella impressive and, again, they do a stellar job of making it a part of who you are.

It's Ubisoft so grab it on sale but I like it.

Yeah, I'm kind of surprised it didn't manage to gain any popularity because it wasn't bad at all.

Planet Zoo is fun but complicated. Never played planet coaster.

I enjoyed what I got to play of it last night (basically the first campaign zoo) but I can't help but think it would be a lot less complicated if they just let me use the analog sticks like a mouse cursor, the D-Pad could also be much better utilized.

Jesus, a white fridge is ugly as hell. I hope that's just a test unit and they did something to it to not look that... boring. White Series S looks so much better.

White is just a stupid color for something that's going to sit in an entertainment center where everything else is black.

Lot of really good changes. 40 and 60 fps modes. City maps. Land vehicles at some point.

Only 9 months to add maps.

Is this the second major update?
