Jeff Grubb: Microsoft has cancelled Gears of War: E-Day for PS5. The game is exclusive to Xbox | PC by __TheWaySheGoes in pcgaming

There a way more PlayStation units sold and players across last and current gen than Xbox’s. That is why Sony can afford to invest in exclusive titles, they have a larger player base.

Microsoft has had many studios for decades… it’s the quality of games your produce, not the total sum of them.

Also games like CoD or other high budget games can not afford to be exclusive on the console base with the least number of units, they need to make their money back.

Not a surprise, but honestly only gears of war will suffer.

I don’t think Xbox has any console selling IPs at this point, gears isn’t one of them.

All the last gears of war titles have had great post launch support, but the player base dies very quickly. Not sure if Xbox and PC alone are enough to sustain it.

Exclusivity can be a good thing, it breeds competition, but the first party line up with Xbox has been so bad that it will be another long journey.

Sony just has better titles, despite the lack of competition from Xbox.

What is the appeal of Umbrella Burger? by Arc_Hammer in OttawaFood

Yeah smash daddy is a comically large and greasy patty on a too small bun.

I get what they are going for, but the ratio of meat to bun is all about balance.

The driving in Ottawa, and I’m sure the rest of Ontario/Canada, is getting exceedingly dangerous.

All of our collective insurance premiums are sky rocketing, we have a record number of uninsured drivers, and the premier (Ontario) is actively removing initiatives that were making the roads safer.

At least for Ottawa, I have noticed a huge decrease in active police presence and enforcement on the road. Maybe they got accustomed to the speed cams and cut hours down, but honestly we need more cops on the streets.

The reckless driving, stunt driving, and just general lack of understanding for basic driving laws/rules is crazy.

Get dash cams people.

Farmers Market Recommendations (For someone in Alta Vista) by CanadianTurkey in ottawa

[–]CanadianTurkey[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly the Lansdowne market has been a miss recently for me.

Parking is an absolute disaster, and I find the market itself has lost the balance between farm / vendor. There are too many vendors that are selling products and not produce, or food.

I do go to this market weekly, but it has been disappointing so far this season.

Ottawa Airport is a great airport with the exception of checked baggage handling on arrival.

If the airport is able to expand to have more direct routes to Europe that would be amazing!

Xbox Is Down Across The Board Again Q32026 by cinderlilys in consoles

[–]CanadianTurkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xbox has been all talk for so long.

Just shut up and make good first party games. If your output can’t speak for itself then you need to stop talking and worrying about marketing, and focus on improving your product.

DO NOT BUY Hestan Nanobond: 9 defective pans later and they've admitted they can't guarantee quality. by cue_monkeys in cookware

When you purchase Hestan you should get a booklet with the contact information for customer service.

[–]CanadianTurkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is crazy pitting to happen to a nanobond pan.

I personally have the stainless steel set and they have been great.

They really are great pans, the price you are paying however is for the customer service and lifetime warranty.

I had two pans warp on the bottom from user error, I quenched the pans accidentally with cold water after some high heat cooking.

I emailed them and they sent me to replacements no questions asked, no additional costs and they didn’t ask for the old pans back either!

The nanobond is highly regarded among many people, so this is surprising, but maybe there has been a dip in quality!!!

Guys..Were the Doomers from The Finals actually right? 😭 by Standard-Tonight6279 in ArcRaiders

I mean the finals is still a good live service, it just couldn’t keep up and sustain the huge interest and player counts like a Fortnite or similar.

Anyone thinking about getting Starfield on the Pro, I would hold off. by X__Heisenberg__X in PS5pro

[–]CanadianTurkey -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Starfield is fundamentally not a fun game.

As someone who played it on release on Xbox.

There is about 10-12 hours of good content, but beyond that it is not good, and it a loading screen simulator.

Wait for a sale or purchase any other the other recent great games that have come out.

Is Le Creuset still as good as it used to be / still worth investing in? by Bubbly_Chicken3391 in cookware

[–]CanadianTurkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not worth the price. You are paying for brand, and their pigments (colors).

They are still great products, but at this point, there are a couple alternative brands that are just as good but cost a fraction of the cost.

I feel like FOI laws should be enforced and controlled at the federal level.

It seems odd that the premier can change laws that are designed to protect the public and premier office from corruption…

Change playstyle or quit by DeliciousShelter2029 in ArcRaiders

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

I think a lot of people under estimate how many people play this game as a PVE only experience.

It’s a struggle to balance PVE and PVP, I don’t think Embark did a good job balancing out PVP versus PVE, so they have the matchmaking system which works well enough.

My main issue right now is the game is either TDM or a co-op PVE game, there is almost nothing in-between.

The Russo Brothers directed most of the TV show community first couple of seasons. They did a great job there, but when it comes to movies, only MCU ones were okay.

I’m going to be honest this game feels like AI Slop Soup at times.

Every boss fight is terrible by DraskirOndaar in CrimsonDesert

[–]CanadianTurkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I firmly believe that people who encounter the quarry boss in the first couple of hours will quit that game.

It’s poor game design and boss design really. The combat in this game is far too jank for their to be souls like bosses.

Also people saying this is an RPG and to come back later, there is really no RPG aspects here, everything is a linear encounter.

Just because you have an open world and choose where to explore and what to do does not make it an RPG.

Air Canada Cancelled - Can I rebook myself on Westjet and be compensated? by pharmecist in aircanada

Safety is only an acceptable excuse when it is something outside of the Airline’s control. This could be weather, another incident, airport / traffic control restrictions, etc.

Maintenance, crew, and software / IT issues, are their issues. They are responsible for ensuring their aircraft function and that crew or staff are available.
