@BlueOcean No offense, but I can say the same to you. You're quite frequently (too frequently) offended by me or by others, when there really is no need to be. Some time ago, I was actually glad that we finally kinda got on the same page, luckily, but apparently that wasn't something that you are able to hold on to, sadly enough.
I don't have any issues with you whatsoever, but I do have an issue with people being hurt or insulted over the slightest criticism on their comments, whether that's meant in all seriousness or in jest. I would hope to be able to expect more from an adult human being.
What I said was meant as no more than a tongue in cheek comment, not as an insult. If I actually wanted to insult you, or just make fun of you, my reaction would have been a lot shorter, and I wouldn't have gone through the effort of looking up links for you, for good and/or better options for cheap online subscriptions, which, believe it or not, was meant as a positive gesture.
But even if you do not "camp here", which none of us do, contrary to popular belief, at least we still take a minute to make sure we don't come across as being oblivious by answering questions that have already been answered, more than twice, by other members, which would have been clear by reading just a small handful of previous comments which followed directly after the one from Cobalt that you responded to, but which you apparently completely ignored in your haste to reply...
It's not like you had to wade through dozens of pages to get up to speed. Honestly, it's all kinda silly.
And yes, I actually DO read all the comments. Makes it a hell of a lot easier to not look like someone who hasn't been paying attention to a discussion and/or issue that has already been solved a day ago...
And yeah, I didn't know yet that Resident Evil 2 (yeah, my bad, you got me there) is getting a remake, yes.
So I reacted to Dezzy's post in that way. I was honestly wondering about what improvements have been made. Nothing wrong or unclear about that in any way.
P.S.
FREE+ means a free game with in-game micro-transactions, NOT a free game with DLC.
Great answers...
Yeah, right...
(disclaimer: tongue in cheek sarcasm was applied here)
@Dezzy I guess I must have seen it, since I've literally watched all the presentations and side shows, so it must have slipped my mind over the last half year.
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
@Ryu_Niiyama My problem is I like ALL the game types. For those of us that started in at the beginning, "arcade" play was all there was (though I swore you started on NES?). Far from interactive reading. So that's what we got into it for. And Nintendo games have never been "interactive reading".....SMB was just arcade fun to play action. Even Zelda. It wasn't really until the SNES it became that immersive experience. Though I'm surprised from a fighting fan that you're the more story driven sort. That's kind of polar opposite. Me? I like everything...which is expensive and time sucking I can enjoy a graphic novel as much as Forza and R-Type. AC, as you've said, is a descendant of Prince of Persia. It's an action platformer first and foremost. Sure it has Michael Bay cinematics, but it's not meant as a deep story. Odyssey is an RPG, but being AC, it's still an action platformer (and checklist simulator) first and foremost. I enjoy exploring the world, but I don't expect it to have Dark Souls and TES levels of lore and story to it. I can't think of any action platformer that really does.
Also, I was with you up until "using rats to solve puzzles....."
@redd214 Still funny that you're the most hardcore racing enthusiast on all of NL probably, and you still don't mind Crew's physics
Crackdown looks.....I'm worried about it. I mean it looks quality, it looks like it's probably fun, but it seems to suffer so far from the MS curse that it's a game you have to play to get into to see why it's fun, but it doesn't sell itself just watching trailers. Nintendo games sell themselves on a glance, Sony games wow people with a trailer, and MS games are that really cool arcade cab in the back of the room that looks bland on the outside that nobody touches except that the regulars "in the know". Maybe it's really the Sega curse, continued....
@ThanosReXXX Haha, you're starting to get into that digital thing.... And yeah, I didn't need to be sold on a $7 game from a known good series It's the ones I don't know about that take some of your legendary s&m persuasion.
I tried out Mercenaries....hmm. It has that LucasArts charm. But I don't think it's aged so well. The concept is really cool, but between the visuals, audio mixing levels issues (common for the era), and just the game structure, controls, setup, shooting etc.... I want to love it and the DPRK backdrop is really unusual and cool (if a bit too real), but the shooting, and structure don't feel enticing either. I think it's one of those "you have to have played it in its own time to get it" kind of games.
@Cobalt Yeah if you're into traditional racing, you'll love Motorsport 7....I actually liked it more than Horizon 3 which I didn't expect, but Horizon 4 blows me away and surpasses it. The "feel" of Motorsport just handles so well. I'm not even a racing fan but it made me one. Horizon 4 borrows a lot of Motorsports physics, but intentionally not all of it, everything is a lot weightier and "slower" by nature on the hairpins of the circuit courses.
Yeah 2018 was kinda slow for Switch (though Smash is sucking my time now....it's a really fantastic game that surprised me considerably, I'm not one of those smash fan nuts.) That probably influenced me to get my X1X as well. Though a bigger part of it was probably seeing how much nicer the multiplats are on it than PS4 made buying those games on PS4 feel like wasting money.
@Delibheel When given a choice between XBox and pants, you choose pants. That says a lot about who you are as a person. You should give serious thought to your priorities.
@BlueOcean It's finally happened! You've discovered you inner emoji-master!
@Delibheel Remember to say so every time [insert emoji here].
@NEStalgia I did! I also said what more people here want to say . I had to get it off my chest.
Resident Evil 2 is already the game of 2019 for me although Devil May Cry 5 seems to be a lot of fun and I should get it too as a totally different thing.
I don't have Forza Motorsport 7 but the demo really impressed me with the graphics and realism. All I wanted from Forza Horizon 3 was 60 fps but now I have that on Forza Horizon 4.
@BlueOcean By the way: why buy Xbox Live Gold from Microsoft when it is much cheaper at cdkeys.com, even with this official discount?
In my region, the official price is now €59.99/$59.99, while the cdkeys price is €37.99/$44.99...
You are right (as always), why would anyone want to save 40% on Xbox.com when they could save 25% on Cdkeys.com? [insert emoji here]
@ReaderRagfihs@Delibheel Had to be gator. I always thought he was just an XBox fanboy until I got the X1X and his ranting still made no sense, and I pointed out the lack of difference between Nintendo and XBox with whatever he was ranting about and I never heard from him again.
@NEStalgia So I inserted the disc of Forza 7 and there is an update of more than 60 GB ! YAYYYY o_O
There is something strange. The system asked me if I wanted to update, I said OK and now the screen is TOTALLY BLACK !!! o_O No progression bar, no percentage, nothing...
Do I have to panic or... ?
@Cobalt That would be (in addition to regular patches) additional content, cars, etc being added, plus the X1X updates. X1X enhanced games have huge updates since the 4k textures are massive and don't fit on the disc. (Same for PS4 Pro, but it doesn't actually support the full res textures typically so the updates are still smaller.)
@NEStalgia Yeah, good point. Burnout Revenge was also an easy purchase for me, even though I still own the disc. And it's not so much that I'm voluntarily getting more into digital, it's just that I don't want to have to dig out all these discs all the time, when I want to play something else. It's great that so many titles that I own, are backwards compatible, but they should have come up with something other than 'you need to keep the disc in the drive at all times'.
For example, I would be more than willing to purchase a key code or whatever, for a couple of euros, if that would save me from having to insert the disc all the time. Now they just more or less coerce me into buying these digital versions, to circumvent that (albeit small) annoyance. But I'll only stick to cheap games and discounts, mind you. No full price digital-only for this guy...
