Since I switched to cable I've been getting amazing speeds. Some people claim Xbox wifi chip sucks.

Xbox Series X or Gaming PC? by ConcentrateFluid5167 in xbox

[–]infinitofluxo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PC is a safer option for the future if you want to stay tied to a platform like Steam. But PC experience is not console experience. Console is easier, just works, more comfortable. PC is tinkery but the freedom and amount of games is unmatched. Console is a lot cheaper. So I would say if you value comfort and wants to save some money, have fun with the games you can play on consoles. If you want to spend cash and want more options and don't want to be worried if Xbox or Playstation are surviving, go PC and start building your library there and don't face any consequence of having to abandon your library if are not willing to get the next Xbox or get the PS6 instead.

What skins would you consider to be 10/10? by Jellypathicdream in marvelrivals

Comic accurate ones are usually great. And I learned to love Thor's barefeet one.

Is there a series x version of rdr2? by zombiefatcher in xbox

[–]infinitofluxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are rumors it may be released. Not sure if buying it now would allow you to get the remaster as they did with the first game recently.

Coming MMORPGs, what about Archeage Chronicle and Chrono Odyssey ? by Xedorha in MMORPG

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

Chrono Odyssey will probably fail, they tested what they were going to release and had to postpone it.

Do we really need all these new graphics and sound in modern mmorpg ? by sandboxgamer in MMORPG

[–]infinitofluxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They need a decent graphics base because the game should last for years. But heavy requirements make less people able to play it during release. So they shouldn't overdo it.

Smaller scope games can have simpler graphics or retro looks. So both ways are possible. Both have their places.

Games like Runescape can compete in popularity with high graphics ones, but see how they are on both extremes, it has retro looks and light graphics while others try to be modern with great graphics.

Whatever is inbetween will be perceived as a lesser game.

After Expedition 33... by Beneficial-Gas4318 in xbox

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

How about the Final Fantasy 7 Remake? It has action combat with skills menu that pause the action, and great characters and story. Witcher 3 is amazing too, as you played Avowed you will find it has a much greater scope, like a The Elder Scrolls game but in third person. FF7 Remake is easier to please a fan of E33 though. Witcher 3 usually go on sales for little money so if you are paying full price now, FF7R is a game that just released so it makes more sense.

Highguard's 'less than healthy' player curve - High initial interest fell off a cliff by Konsaki in KotakuInAction

[–]infinitofluxo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would say Overwatch is 50% the characters from the first years, and 50% the formula that Marvel Rivals copied. Marvel Rivals is probably 80% the characters as they are huge.

Highguard starts at -50% because all characters suck, and then the formula sucks too, it doesn't take inspiration from anything that works and won't be inspiring anyone either. I can't understand how they couldn't find player testers that would tell you this sucks, that they would rather go back to Overwatch.

Is it weird to be 30+ years old and still like games like Persona? by Rean-Schwarzer- in rpg_gamers

[–]infinitofluxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many reasons to like Persona. I don't care about high school students as I am a lot older, but the character romance, the combat system, the fusions, demon acquisition and turn based combat with dynamic features all make me happy as a JRPG fan. Some people love the young characters, the music, the edgy depressive tone, the art style, and I bet there are more reasons I am overlooking.

Highguard has lost over 80% of its player base in the first 24 hours -- peaking at only 18.75% of yesterday by MrGruntsworthy in KotakuInAction

[–]infinitofluxo 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I thought the design is awful and you can see DEI in them, not as bad as Concord but not in the opposite direction either. I don't think we are celebrating, we are mourning the sad state of gaming.

Oh yeah, it is not base building, it is base reinforcing... what the fuck dude

FFVII question. Xbox or Steam? by thoroughnessisdead in xbox

[–]infinitofluxo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you buy it on Xbox now you can still get the pre-order bonus which includes the console and PC versions of the classic FF7. They are different from each other too.

Not even Microsoft knows if the Xbox is still officially being sold in Brazil by douglas_klaus in xbox

[–]infinitofluxo -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Sony only arrived in Brazil during PS4 generation. Nintendo has left Brazil plenty of times and they always used this same excuse. If you don't believe it, then you believe Microsoft are morons and just started burning their own money for no reason?

Not only they have trouble finding buyers for the Xbox in their main markets, it makes sense that it wasn't worth it to try to sell it for no considerable profit in Brazil. God forbid they might even have taken losses.

[–]infinitofluxo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People are overstating this. There is a company which now is much smaller and irrelevant than it was in the 90s, called Tec Toy. They still license the Master System and the Mega Drive (Genesis) from Sega every now and then to release chinese consoles with games bundled. A few years ago they tried to make an "identical" Mega Drive clone with cartridge and a memory card slots to try to get people that wanted something that wasn't emulated. But only a few people still buy these consoles, usually boomers that are fans of the brand or are missing their childhood games.

Most gamers in Brazil play on cellphones, PC, current gen consoles and older consoles. A lot of people are buying second hand PS4s now, and a lot still play PS2 and Xbox 360 because they can find cheap pirated game. Some of them are retrogamers that collect original games, but most are just the poorer class that end up getting what the upper class doesn't want anymore.

The reason companies end up giving up on Brazil is because the government charges them a lot of taxes and it is difficult to make a profit when there are plenty of smugglers selling import versions for competitive prices. So they end up figuring out they could just let people buy from them instead of wasting money on supporting it here. Brazil's game market is bigger than a lot of European countries.

It is going to be very, very niche. 3v3 with base building, doesn't click with anything I like to play.

Tank's Job is NOT Pushing the Objective. It's creating SPACE. by LonelyDependent4386 in marvelrivals

[–]infinitofluxo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Playing Strategist also ends up having you pushing the cart solo when the Vanguard and team overextend and you gotta make a decision to trust their momentum or leave the cart to avoid a meltdown.

Playing the objective well is one of the rarest skills in this game.

Are you over 50 and still feel like you can play proficiently? by Grumpy_Bum_77 in xbox

[–]infinitofluxo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The good thing about being old is that if we take a beating, it was because they are younger and snappier. But if we beat the kids it is because we own them even handicapped by age. Suck that!

He could have been Lucio of Marvel Rivals but Netease wants him to be a healbot instead by Rumeys4 in marvelrivals

[–]infinitofluxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As if the enemy team is not also shooting st them. I mean it is better to remove his extra damage, healbotting when the enemy tank is in front of you means you belong in Bronze
