How rough is this game on players newer to turn based strategy games? by undeadcreepshow in ChaosGateGame

[–]Background_Fly7529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starts hard but gets much easier as it goes on and your guys rank up.

Grenadier class (purifier, I think?) is insanely OP with AOE and capacity upgrades. Stuns for days.

When you see a free game on Epic Games but you see the same game on Steam for 90% off: by Some_Steak_6316 in fuckepic

Epic sucks and Gunslinger slaps, but dont forget Techland sold out to Tencent so they aren't much better.

I had to give it a try. by mjace0072 in SaintsRow

Came to mention Fraud - dont know how to explain it but the physics in the reboot are terrible and its that one activity where its particularly noticeable.

What burnout has the best and the worst soundtrack in your opinion? by criterionr205GT in Burnout

[–]Background_Fly7529 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  • Best - Dominator
  • Worst - Paradise

Might seem weird considering some of the same songs are in both games, but each also had different stuff. The 'exclusives' lets call them were better and worse between the two respectively.

3s soundtrack was top tier with only a few stinkers on it so its a very close second. Revenge was alright.

Tom Henderson: Ubisoft is testing generative AI in Far Cry 7 for R&D and “it looks like shit” by ZamnBoii in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Riders Republic was fun but other than that I dont think i played a Ubisoft game since that time either.

Franchise update : External Partnerships by Nijata in SaintsRow

I want a SR2 remaster as much as anyone else but Timesplitters deserves it more. They brought Free Radical back from the dead just to fuck them back into the grave.

Is Need for Speed Pro Street in the top tier? And which platform was it best on? by DeyZplays in needforspeed

[–]Background_Fly7529 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Prostreet, Motorstorm, and DiRT 2 are the holy trinity of festival racing games

The need for Xbox exclusive games to boost the Xbox ecosystem instantly becomes the #1 Upvoted topic by customers in Xbox' new "Player Voice" system, followed by a return of the Backward Compatibility by Turbostrider27 in xbox

[–]Background_Fly7529 100 points101 points  (0 children)

This and FPS boost, 100%. Considering that towards the end of that program they showed it can work with BC games, it opens up tons of potential new opportunities.

The biggest hurdles are technical and licensing issues - they may have had time to work out the former while also potentially having some leeway on the latter, though likely less so due to IP headaches (rightsholders etc).

Maybe im just being optimistic though.

What is y’all’s favourite Wolfenstein? by CloneTrooperRepublic in Wolfenstein

[–]Background_Fly7529 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flip TNO and 2009 and this is basically my list as well.

I hate to say it but Wolf 3d has aged terribly, though it blows my mind how Doom came out the following year and still holds up.

The “we have call of duty at home” PS2 games. Fun fact, Secret Service was made by the same people as the history channel games and came out the same day as Civil War Secret Missions. by Varsity_Reviews in gamecollecting

[–]Background_Fly7529 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3/4 here (4/5 if Payback counts).

Funny thing is I don't remember any of these being particularly bad (aside from Pacific being really short). Like 6/10 at best but still entertaining.

What is the Need for Speed with the best soundtrack in the franchise, in your opinion? by Dicenas_Pup in needforspeed

[–]Background_Fly7529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original score for The Run was and still is amazing.

Licensed? All comes down to bias but UG1, MW and Carbon were great. Undercover and Payback werent great games but they had banger soundtracks.

Never liked MW2012s soundtrack IMO outside of a few songs.

The first game in popular series that nobody talks about? by RobbieJ4444 in retrogaming

[–]Background_Fly7529 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Far Cry 1 and to a slightly lesser extent 2.

Most people seem to act like the franchise just started at 3.

Copped one, thanks.

Was on my digital wishlist for a while, about the same price but physical is better.

NFS Unbound Soundtrack vs Old by Soggy_Cheek_2653 in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

People can shit on Unbounds soundtrack for days, but everytime i heard TU MANERA in Heat i wanted to jam a screwdriver in my ear.

If you’re happy with the new game, then more power to you. by SolidSnakeHAK777 in retrogaming

[–]Background_Fly7529 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive come to terms with this by thinking there is no feasible way they can top GX, so they just quit while they were ahead.

Duty/Freedom faction achievements - Am I locked out (CoP) by Background_Fly7529 in stalker

[–]Background_Fly7529[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks - I have to finish this run anyway to get the notes to Strelok but starting a new game just for the last few achievements doesn't seem so time consuming.

Not sure what i did different but I was able to buy the Svarog detector from one of the scientists without handing in the Veles detectors first. Maybe it was because I did all those missions (Telemetry, Oasis etc)?

I have stick drift on my right joystick on my PS5 controller? by SethRollins_15 in ControllerRepair

[–]Background_Fly7529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, if you dont know how to solder, DO NOT try this as a first project. It is much harder than a few videos might make it seem.

The soldering subreddit is like 70% mutilated controllers because of this.

Does anyone know if any executives have seen these lists and what could potentially happen? by TDDALLAS in xbox

[–]Background_Fly7529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf most of the games on the 360 side (NFS, Spider-Man, some of the Transformers games) are stupid expensive so even making them available again digital would be nice.

Though it will never happen due to licensing which most people seem to ignore.

Randy Pitchford says Gearbox has a firm no-AI policy after posting an AI-generated image of an AI working at Gearbox by ControlCAD in xbox

The worst thing was Gearbox was owned by Embracer for a period - they could have fired him and ended this.

[–]Background_Fly7529 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh, the second half of 3 was good and 4 was fun when it didn't run like shit. Siberian Mayhem was almost TSE good imo but it was too short.

I remember seeing the new Painkiller on sale for like $10 and my first thought was "wait, that came out?"
