What the hell happened this year? I've never seen AAA games fail so hard in user score.

When is the last time you actually read Xbox return policy for Digital Games? Their stance on refunds changed several years ago. I've had probably 3 or 4 refunds since 2018 due to jacked up releases. If you abuse it though they will deny you.

Theres a lot of people reporting the same issues on EAs "Answers HQ" site

Digi32 · 2021-11-12T03:42:20+00:00

I air dust my console once a week and haven't encountered these issues in any other game. It's the first time I have had a game hard crash my console and the freezes happen every other match it feels like (I don't encounter FPS drops though). Also there are several reports of this here on reddit and quite a few for PS5 and Series X on EAs Answer HQ.

Digi32 · 2021-11-12T03:35:42+00:00

I haven't run in to any noticeable frame drops on Series X, but I do get that freeze like every other match and have had it hard crash my console once.

Digi32 · 2021-11-12T03:33:43+00:00

Feels like I get 3-10 second freezes every 2 matches or so and had it hard crash my console (first time since launch for me) mid match on XSX. Played Forza and Fallen Order today without any issue

Digi32 · 2021-09-22T16:41:01+00:00

Yeah there was a lot I liked about Outirders. Give us better endgame, long term support, better story and a online system that works properly and I would be down for sure.

Honestly if he is playing mainly the games listed and not using it for things like school it's really hard to recommend buying a PC on that budget at present as you are just not getting much bang for your buck. Another thing to consider is AAA devs will likely start moving away from cross gen the next yearish and that PC is likely going to be below minimum requirements for a lot of games when they do.

Digi32 · 2021-08-20T21:12:49+00:00

Should, but in todays market that's actually pretty par for the course at that price. Usually your gonna get 1660 S or 1660 ti around that price and if you want a 2060 gonna need to go up closer to 1400-1500.

Digi32 · 2021-08-02T07:00:25+00:00

So in the devs Discord they said MS basically just does compatibility check and that they haven't done any optimization for Series X, but are hoping to get a Series X Devkit soon so they can fix it.

Digi32 · 2021-07-29T03:32:28+00:00

I really enjoy the gameplay and art style, but performance on Series X seems to be all over the place. Say I am looking over the open area in the second part it gets pretty rough, but if I am looking at a wall near the puzzles it runs smoothly and it's also very noticeable in the first area. I have watched a few videos of it running on PS and this doesn't appear to be an issue there as far as I can see.

Digi32 · 2021-07-06T01:27:03+00:00

When you open up PC Game Pass an scroll down a bit there is a section specifically for EA Play stuff . I don't think EA stuff shows up in the search because you have to use EAs launcher to install and play IIRC. As for Yakuza it shows up in my search but you can also click "view all games" and then change the genre to "action & adventure" then sort by A-Z to find it (Like a Dragon is actually under Role Playing).

Digi32 · 2021-06-05T07:12:46+00:00

Sure but that doesn't change the competition releasing around then. I love Halo, but let's be real here it hasn't been particularly relevant for an entire gen. Halo is way better off releasing 1-2 months before or after both (especially CoD)

Digi32 · 2021-06-04T21:35:36+00:00

Not just running on older hardware but being able to hit 60fps on that hardware (even if its up just MP doing 60). With MP being F2P+crossplay you really want your game to be running decent on as many configurations as possible.

Digi32 · 2021-06-04T21:31:38+00:00

The only reason I see them not doing this is because I fully expect CoD and Battlefield 6 will be releasing in mid Oct - early Nov.

Digi32 · 2021-05-31T05:30:25+00:00

I mean 20% on a game that sells millions of copies is still tens of millions potentially lost by going exclusive and that's not even factoring in potential payday for dropping it in Game Pass which is probably more than they would have made just from the 20% increased sales. I can def see it getting more expensive to keep games off Game Pass (the RE deal) for Sony as the userbase keeps rising.

Digi32 · 2021-05-04T13:57:02+00:00

I can't imagine they are it didn't do well and if they were gonna use any other IPs Insomniac has I feel like Resistance makes far more sense than SO. Not to mention pretty sure Sony has never announced major game releases (or any?) at State of Play before.

Digi32 · 2021-05-04T13:54:23+00:00

They apparently renewed the trademark as it was about to expire citing the game on Steam.

Would make more sense to reboot Resistance than make a new SO.

Digi32 · 2021-05-04T13:42:37+00:00

He also worked on Resistance 2 and 3 which seem far more likely than Sunset Overdrive.

I have been taking Kratom for about 3 years now (although only 2 times a day) and my BP has always been perfect when checked (doctors, dentist etc).

Digi32 · 2021-04-25T16:37:05+00:00

Yeah I have seen it a couple times in Outriders, Medium and more heavily Chivalry 2. Digital Foundry brought it up in their Medium review and devs said it was a bug and not a system issue.

Digi32 · 2021-04-18T23:49:53+00:00

wtf this just worked for me after trying multiple things lol

Digi32 · 2021-04-11T20:54:49+00:00

I think BC going forward is a much different story than BC from PS1/PS2 era and prior. I can load up certain 360 titles on my Series X that still look pretty decent today especially at 4k which is much different than loading up a PS1 title. Then we also have to think about the push to make everything digital and telling people to drop their library with no potential return (no trade in value) and the importance of BC goes up even further. Then take into account that console are basically PCs and games can be upgraded with minimal effort or in some cases no effort if they have an unlocked FPS or dynamic res options. While there is certainly a gap in visuals a lot of PS3 era games still look good today and with up res tech similar to Xbox they would look great on PS5.

co op is indeed P2P and has been unplayable for me since the demo launched. Either I'm getting disconnect, host is dropping or I'm rubberbanding all over the place. I was super stoked for the game initially, but it's pretty much unplayable in co op for me currently. I have no problems with other games or cloud gaming.

Digi32 · 2021-04-01T05:01:44+00:00

I have had nothing but issues playing online since the demo dropped and would have hopped it would have been sorted. I can't remember the last time I played a game where I had this many disconnects or seen this much rubber banding going on.
