  1. 2K wants us to pay full price or near it for "next-gen" 2K21. The price has been held at full price for some time, while the last gen version has dropped significantly. Every year the XB1 PS4 version has been about 50% by Black Friday. Same with 360/PS3 before that.

  2. I've purchased MORE games since having Game Pass. Just played Dead Rising 1 for the first time (that was Games with Gold, but the point stands) and had to buy Dead Rising 2 AGAIN, I have that game on 360 already, but I wanted that hi-res, high framerate Xbox One version

  3. I still have a deep seeded terror of werewolves because of American Werewolf in London. My parents took me to the theater and I hid behind the chair but still watched it. I'm 44 now and love werewolf movies but when done, I have to turn on the lights as I walk throughout the house.

  4. Paris I'm a big fan of you but man I think you missed it on this one outriders is not a cover based shooter it's cover is for the enemies you are supposed to attack and be aggressive so you get your health back much like Doom they have showed this many of times in commercials and trailers I'm surprised you missed that.

  5. The whole "Games as a service" model needs to go. The reason I say that is because developers have a bad habit of putting out games filled with bugs and glitches which they spend most of their time fixing which in turn slows down content being released. Also with all honesty gamers finish the game with all that it has to offer too quickly and are never really satisfied with what they get.

  6. So… We all love the "Pokémon effect" and Nintendo was right all along! Even a guy like me, that never played a Pokémon game, loves the "catch the next great weapon or perk" game loop.
    As for Game Pass, I got the idea right from the start and got a One X with game pass and, like back on 2017, is the best place to play games if you "don't need" to play the next new thing, cause in 6 or 12 months the game is on game pass and probably bug free! That is great!
    Keep up the great work and as always, take care and be safe. CoVID free virtual hug from Portugal!

  7. Gary is 100% right, but it's not just children; there are adults who have gambling problems and they have way more to lose than pocket money. I would like if the console makers had an option in the settings to disable it before you even go into the game

  8. I think Gary is wrong about saying people in the comment section are gonna hate him for his EA FIFA gambling thing. HE IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. Gamers ARE WITH GARY on this. Massive respect to him for bringing that up.

  9. 3+ months MS still hasn't added EA play to gamepassPC, yet still charge the same amount as console gamepass, where PC gets much fewer, and far between good releases. They still have not publicly stated why they lied about adding EAplay to gamepass PC, and then cancelled it the day of back in december.

  10. I hate to say this about destiny but destiny one was OK flawed with a story but destiny two they really had an opportunity to win not just a current audience over but I mean the masses they could’ve had a Diablo style audience for years to come but the loot system is float to some degree don’t get me wrong it works like they want it to but I need more of a Diablo style loop system. The first Luther shooter that goes to the Diablo style loop system will win everything. I don’t want to necessarily have to go on a major mission with a team of five to get the best Luke in the game. That should increase my probability of getting said loot but you need to offer me options to always get the best loot in the game even if I play solo. The first game to do that and offer a massive amount of content they will win it all

  11. This just came out yesterday, but can you please check out a small 30 minute documentary, 2 years in the making by an Aussie.

    Untangling God of War – GoodBlood

    It’s made me see the god of war franchise in a whole new light.

  12. Am playing judgement for the first time on xsx and god the games average. I am enjoying the story but the constant star challenges that pops up to show how well you done after each fight just slows the momentum down

  13. I've scrolled through the comments. Tons of "This isn't a live service game" & "It's not a cover shooter". Stop blaming the guys for that mistake and blame the marketing of the game. This "cover is for cowards" slogan i've never seen. The game has a GoWxDivision vibe. The enemies use cover, so it's natural reaction to also use cover. The looter shooter mechanics with the way the game plays out looks a lot like a GAAS ala Division. So it's the devs fault for not making sure that they properly guide you into the playstyle that's best suited for the game instead of building lore with an hour of cutscenes before you even get into the game

  14. Outriders is not designed to be a game as a service. It is supposed to be play it till your done then you're done.
    So I really hope it isn't too short at launch. That would make people pissed.

  15. I never buy card packs when I play Madden or FIFA I only play franchise mode. I have no interest in Ultimate Team at all. Now will I buy silver in Destiny 2 , yes, yes I will.

  16. I tried jumping into Destiny 2 for the first time recently and it is really overwhelming to a brand new player. I also didn't like that they buried the old content that would help explain wtf is going on. Division 2 made plenty sense to me.
