Damn, Obsidian fell into the first person RPG hole. Sucks to see. The combat in those games has been trash every time. Fallout 3 onward is terrible, all Elder Scrolls games. Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2 have fun systems, but I get they are too complicated for true mass market appeal. But Skyrim and co generally make for terrible RPGs. They are great games on their own, but not at the type I want to play.
Oh well, I guess I'll have to console myself with Baldur's Gate 3 whenever that actually comes out.

Open world Halo with no loads and a bonus grappling hook seems real cool to me as a fan of the series who hasn't liked the recent entries. If they find a way to integrate multiplayer into the open world too that would be awesome.
That's a great deal! Is Gears Tactics worth it? I know many people were very enthusiastic about the first few missions, but I heard it got repetitive really soon...Save 75% on Gears Tactics + Gears 5 Bundle on Steam
Nice price but I never played any gears game before so it's silly to jump right into 5...
Im interested in Halo, but the graphics was dissapointing.
At least I don't need to buy an Xbox for Halo now.
Basically there are 3 acts. Act 1 requires 1 side mission, act 2 requries 2 side missions and act 3 requires 3 side missions.

I really enjoyed it, but you are required to play some side-missions to progress the story and the side missions are quite bland and repetive, but outside of that, I really enjoyed it, 8/10 from me.

raytracing update should help a lot with the look. i just appreciate MS for going solid 60fps/no loads over more shiny stuff, not often you'll see that these days on a console.
I agree that the combat will very likely pale in comparison to party-based TB or RTwP RPGs, but that's the trade-off immersive-sim RPGs (Morrowind, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Ultima Underworld, Deus Ex, etc) make. There is a lot more to RPG gameplay than combat too.
I think Halo looks good, in motion. Which it's what matters I guess.
Infinite running 4k/60 on XSX as an open world game means the graphics will take a hit. But the gameplay looked fun. Like a mixture of new Doom games and Rage 2 mixed with Halo.
Now the question is if the story takes a hit in any way. They are chasing the Destiny map checklist crowd so hopefully it doesn't take too big of a hit.
I bet they do Battle Royale mode for multiplayer. Everything is in place for it...they just need servers to hold large population.

No. Every Android emulator need that to work, even if you use Intel.
And what about my google account ? Is the communication directly between me and google or is it passing through Memu ?
Should I make a new account ?
Are the performances as good as on the real hardwares ?
Damn, playing Drakengard really made me thirsty too see if SINoAlice was good.
I mean, I could buy a smartphone and enter the 21st century, but the good ones are deliriously priced.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro has good press but the reviews make a point to tell that game perf are what they are.
Oh God, had to do a double take on this. I am SO FUCKING DOWN for 40K Vermintide! :O

squeenix gonna squeenix
I use different Google account just for emulators. For game login I use either that account or dummy Facebook account. And yeah the performance is as good as on the phone, even better because you don't need to feel the heat on your hands.
And actually you don't need Google account at all. Just download the apk from third party websites.
No, but you should probably be using Mumu rather than Memu (fuck these names).
I investigated Android emulators for gaming a while back and that seems to be the least bad option. (Taking into account performance, ads, and how much of your data they sell)
Probably didn't even put in the work for save compatbility. Will wrap up my playthrough of XI and forget about this game.
It doesn't help that their main competitor goes really deep on visual and cinematic aspect.
Console gamers: We're tired of 30 fps! devs, time to get your shit together with next gen!
Also console gamers: this 60 fps open world launch game isn't as pretty as i'd like! get your shit together devs!
OH FUCK OFF
I'd even be willing to pay for the upgrade, but anything more than 15€ is unreasonable
Son of a bitch. Guess Square doesn't want money from me

supporting war crime deniers doesn't come cheap, you know (i'm talking about squeenix, not you, lol)
Yeah, at the cost of thousands of hours of crunch.
Personally I'm fucking sick of this tendency of the 'fans' of wanting everything to one up the competitors so they can continue their dumb platform wars.
Honestly of all possible choices SE had, they just took the worst of them all. This is not how you are supposed to treat your customers in general, and much less those who got it recently.
Shameful.
Making OG launch day owners pay 100$ total for what Switch owners paid 60$ for. And people who waited pay only 40$ now.
And vanilla version still up for 60$ too wtf. And vanilla version was 1 year delay from JP version anyways.
They are the worst.
Im just sitting back as I watch PS-only and Xbox-only players hatch out at each other.
With PC and PS5 I get the best of both worlds next-gen. Until Sony starts releasing mroe games on PC of course. Hopefully PS5 will be the last PS console I need.

That's another big issue. I can see many people falling for the vanilla version trap on following sales from SE if they dont know there's an upcoming S version around Dec dated.
I wonder if they'll remove the original version once this is out or they'll keep selling both.
GoodAt this point I feel every decision SE takes is to keep funding their FF XIV golden cow
Here I'm hoping FFXIV will get upgrade like PSO2

a few years ago ... but you can still buy a steam key if you REALLY want to - they're still up on amazon
Also, I think for MS it is now less important if you own an Xbox. I bet they would put Gamepass on PS5 if they could.
As long as you keep paying the subscription.
Personally it made me feel good that I'm back with my PC hah

Its at 8 minutes now for some reason.
Why everything that is not Steam sucks so fucking much?!
At least the memes are good.

And also, it should run super well on PC, even at 4K.
