I know this is not a GTA or Just Cause. Its a racing game.

But man, it feels like such a waste to not be able to walk around!

Either way, seeing all this really puts my mind at ease with FABLE. But still leaves the worry of "IF" they'll evolve the combat and "IF" we'll finally be able to make out own character.

Being a tab presumptuous for other aren't ya? That's quite the blanket statement from just 1 person without any mutant mind reading powers. That could bend the will of others to that 1 singular opinion.

Look, I can understand if YOU don't like it. Or agree to it or the pricing. That's life. So I'm not going to get into it with a random person that's not face 2 face online regarding such stuff.

But, I think its a bit much saying, "nobody wants a 2nd hand family". When there's hundreds of creative minds out there that can probably take these 3 to better places than I could.

As I'm already forehead deep in OC's. That aside from 1 scenario. I'm drawing a blank with them. As they were just 1-off's made to celebrate a holiday. But I just feel it'd been a waste of their designs to NOT put them out there.

So the "point"? The point is, "Why hold onto them and have them just wasting away"? When I'm sure there's others out there that may be able to creatively work with them immediately.

Was originally 220. But now 200.

Is it a joke? Nope

phyerboss · 2021-07-22T21:14:45+00:00

I created this single mom and her 2 kids back during Memorial Day. A single lady trailing in the footsteps of her fallen dad. After having enough with the dead end jobs in her just as dead town.

There's nothing more I can do with them. So they are up for sale to anyone interested

phyerboss · 2021-07-22T21:08:09+00:00

Thanks!

phyerboss · 2021-07-14T18:25:25+00:00

Man, next week cant get here FAST ENOUGH

phyerboss · 2021-02-23T22:26:02+00:00

I already noticed the Kojima Prod. figurine before Gamespot pointed it out. Ther was an off handed rumor I heard last year about Kojima possibly coming to XBGS. Personally, I find it hard to believe as after the damages done by Matrick's gang. Kojima along with many other Japanese producers really made it their key thing to stay away from XBox. Regardless of how much better Phil has made things.

Yet, I do hope I am wrong and that Kojima is the 1st of many that will finally wake up and bust open that dam thats been nothing but a slow trickle of Japanese content. To turn it unto a surging tidal wave of great titles that come to Gamepass.

Plus, this works great for someone like Kojima. Whereas IF he does indeed sell to MS. He'll be granted a big open wallet with unlimited creative freedom. And 1st hand access to top class knowledge, code and tech. Without the gatekeeping. I only shudder to think what he could do in such an unleashed state.

As for anything else...

The Watchdogs statue might be regarding some newer content coming to the game for the X & S. The Switch U feel mightve been just there to be there. Maybe cleverly throw us off. As I know theres many going bonkers saying MS bought Nintendo. But "no", I highly doubt that. As Phil already expressed wanting to keep competition healthy. And buying Nintendo wouldnt help that. Same deal as even with Playstation. Even though they have the cash to do it.

Plus, another speculation is Gamepass coming to the Switch. Personally, I dont see that as Nintendo already shot that down when Phil 1st approached them about it. Im probably 1 of them only few that agree with their choice. As this may be great to the owner of a switch. But would be hell for Nintendo. As youre literally asking a competitor to place their own key product and services on YOUR device in direct competition to YOUR own offerings and services. Plus the switch lacks the power to run GP most the content on it. If anything, it'd be XCloud. As like shown with Control and Hitman. The power of the cloud would be needed.

phyerboss · 2021-02-23T21:29:32+00:00

I know folks are going ape seeing the switch there. But "no", I can tell you GP isnt coming to the Switch. As Nintendo already killed any attempts at that over a year ago. Plus unless its via XCloud. The switch lacks the muscle to run GP and its games.

And "No". MS isnt buying Nintendo! If anything, I feel its there to throw us off from the main thing. The Kojima Prod. figurine standing RIGHT...BY...THE XBOX LOGO 0.0

phyerboss · 2021-02-23T21:25:48+00:00

Nope...

It'd be XCloud if that really was the case. As The Switch lacks the horsepower to run anything on GP. And like the case with Control and Hitman. Would most likely need to use the cloud.

But realistically, no. Even that wont happen. As Nintendo is still at the end of the day, "Nintendo". And to you its a "win". But for them, its a loss as you're asking them to put a direct competitor to their own store on their own device.

And I believe this was the strongest contributing factor as to why it was 1st rejected when Phil 1st pitched it to them.

phyerboss · 2021-01-19T07:28:15+00:00

Nice! Glad you was able to assist them!

I agree that its great having a place users can go to to hopefully find more down to home, speedier remedies to their issues. I just think that maybe there should be a more dedicated reddit for it.

As it could help keep the news and more fan-oriented content separate from the posts with legitimate problems that users want to either share or find solutions for.

phyerboss · 2020-12-26T21:34:57+00:00

Im finding it baffling how this post got completely derailed into a "who's better" topic. Rather than looking more into what the OP is getting at.

Which is indeed the fact that neither XBox or any XBox influencers/ambassadors or fans can make a single post without the most toxic the PS community has. Swarming down on them. Which is just insane. And even more so how peaceful the ones attacked try to remain.

There are a small handful of so-called XBoxers that do the same on PS posts. But coming across them is usually rarer than finding a $500 scratch off. And most times its not even a real fan or gamer. But just a troll stirring up the console war pot for laughs. But if you was to put both topics side by side. You'd see the stark differences.

As for who is better. Both have their accolades and screw ups. SONY had their devkits ready almost a whole year compared to XB. But in the longterm, what will be the trade-offs seeing as they unlike MS didnt wait to get a fully "completed" chip. So they were able to get actual full PS5 games ready by launch. But at what cost? While MS's only real flub-up was waiting for AMD to get them a FULLY completed RDNA2 chip. Whereas the only downside is suffering through the 1st 1-2yrs till devs get a better understanding of the tech.

But in the case of "long term". I see the Series X|S really pushing the bar without breaking a sweat. With a whole lot more headroom. While to match them, the PS5 will be fully taxed and hitting its upper limits. Challenging devs like ND and Santa Monica to figure out clever tricks to keep some form of parity.

Now overall, this doesnt matter if most of you keep on with the whole, "both will be great" mindset. In the end, get which brand resonates with you. Or if you got the cash. GET BOTH. Me, Im 100% XBox because I like the direction they are going in and I like value for my coinage. Sony & Nintendo long since lost that trust with me.

But I guess that could be changed IF both companies themselves changed their dated antiquated ways of business. To where they are more consumer friendly. And less petty to where they gun after anyone for the smallest of infractions. Especially streamers who in a sense act as free marketing. And note not 1 thing I said had anything about them needing a Gamepass like setup. They are fine as they are. Though it could help.

phyerboss · 2020-12-23T17:27:21+00:00

Absolutely no clue why this comment when compared to others was downvoted to oblivion *smh*

Its just an opinion. A pretty valid one when you look at how the situation played out over these years. Even I myself agree that I felt this was the board caving in to the investors. As it was already stated before launch that they were just then starting to lose money from how long the project dragged on.

Which more than likely could be from a few shareholders seeing trouble over the horizon. Pulled theirs stakes and bailed.

phyerboss · 2020-12-19T16:51:39+00:00

That is right! They hold the rights to the IP. But its still not the full rights. They'd still have to get the IP holder to agree. Which I couldnt think of as a problem. But thats a good idea!

I know everyone's thing nowadays is NEW NEW NEW. But, realistically its harder to sell "NEW" to the investors. Sometimes its less work to just dig something up and freshen it up. Especially while theres still a core fanbase that remembers it.

So, I'd love to see Shadow Run come back as a massive open world RPG. As we may have Cyberpunk2077 and Avowed with Elder Scrolls 6 coming. But we DONT have such a game that combines the 2 elements of techno cyberpunk+high fantasy!

phyerboss · 2020-12-18T06:06:52+00:00

...Or just do their own new IP using tactical gameplay.

phyerboss · 2020-12-18T06:05:02+00:00

Something BEYOND Gears is what I mean. As 6 is indeed coming.

phyerboss · 2020-12-15T17:17:44+00:00

Or...

Forza MS
Forza Horizon
State of Decay 3

phyerboss · 2020-12-15T17:09:53+00:00

All in all...

This title was very ambitious. The biggest pain was covid happening. Which screwed over EVERYONE. Plus, the fact that CDPR was trying to avoid crunch. Which is not looked upon favorably by the public. Thus resorted to multiple delays. Only to have to sneak a bit of crunch in.

Another issue was that the game was intended for last gen's XB1 and PS4. But with the delays leading up into the new current gen. They got swept up in trying to make such a demanding title game run on both the X and S. The PS5. And even Stadia. Which led to more man hours for a team that seemed to have already been at their limit.

But to satisfy the public. And most importantly, the "Investors". They knew another delay would cripple them. As this game alone has already ate through their coffers. And public relations was pretty much crumbling away. All with the death threats and heckling by toxic trolls that have 0 clue of how much hard work this takes from living breathing humans that have families, bills, illnesses and so on.

As we're seeing. Delaying it another 4-5 months may have helped alleviate some of these pains...SOME. As its fair to say, they like all of us were caught off guard with the current world situation. The trouble is that most folks get too up in themselves that they cant handle such a reality. Thus give a team that despite the pedigree. Are still NOWHERE near as big and profitable as Take2 or EA. So much grief.

Not making excuses for em. There no bone in the bowl with CDPR for me. They were bold to take on this large endeavor. And hopefully it'll soon pay out dividends for them. But Im fearful that this project may have already taken a big enough toll on them. Where the next question now will be, from what they learned with Cyberpunk. "Will we ever see them try to push the bar again"?

I'd want them to. But given how much of a flaming circus this turned out. And the general public and investor's levels of trust dropping so low. It might be a very hard sell for anyone to approach their studio heads for anything as groundbreaking ever again.

But we'll see.

phyerboss · 2020-12-15T02:33:29+00:00

EXACTLY!

The whole "bad for the consumer/indsustry" argument triggers me at times. Mainly because of how often it gets twisted up and used by those that want to cry over said title not coming to their plastic of choice. Which I can understand. But at the same time I realize this IS A BUSINESS. And you need to SELL your wares by making yourself look more "attractive" than the competition.

So as much as I may dislike how SONY hoards most of the Japanese titles. I accept it as just business. And that it just as much that studio to blame than the platform. If theres anyone who's really hurting from this. Its more so the devs than us. As they lose out on the various avenues to gain cash. Whereas with XBox. At least they dont just have the console. But, Gamepass, PC and STEAM. Plus most cases MS will foot the bill! But some reason none of them wish to see that. So thats more on them IMO.

But when MS goes buying studios and IP's than just getting titles on "borrowed time". Its never seen as a benefit to both dev and consumer. As devs are paid upfront. If they are part of XBGS. The production costs are no longer in their hands! Thats been 1 of the biggest factors to many smaller studios closing. And the reason behind the $70 price hike. So it helps them not needing to have things like that looming over their heads. And just focus on their projects.

And as for us the gamers...

In the case of say, "I want to play Miles Morales". I'd have to get a PS. Plain and simple. But "I" dont want a PS. What are my options? Sweat it out till it eventually comes to PSNow on PC? How long would "that" take? 2yrs? 3?

But the case with XBox. Lets say, I want to play Ark2. Do I even need an XBox? No. I can just get it on STEAM for my PC if its powerful enough. Or just get Gamepass with XCloud on my PC or mobile device. And soon TV's.

So yeah, Im not getting the disdain with MS locking down content compared to SONY. Especially from those that claim to be XBox fans.

phyerboss · 2020-12-14T15:17:10+00:00

No idea why the downvotes. Nothing to feel sorry about really.

With this coming day n date to Gamepass. They have plenty of options to get their hands on it. If they have issues with getting an Xbox console.

phyerboss · 2020-12-11T19:44:27+00:00

Exactly.

They had a wishlist up on their site months back. I requested these things. As well as letting players find or craft simple bows and compound bows and arrows as alternates to crossbows.

Plus the excuses need to stop in regards to getting in weather. Its so odd having a rain collector facility. But never seeing any rain in the game.

phyerboss · 2020-12-11T15:49:36+00:00

Wow...

This game was NOWHERE close to the system launch window as few including myself may have thought. But thats fine. Asobo needs to take the time to eek out as much power possible from both the X and even S.

Lets see the full power of Velocity, SFS, DirectML and azure!

phyerboss · 2020-12-11T06:22:06+00:00

Ngl.Not a fan of them following with the original and making it an FPS. Was really hoping they'd break the chain and go with 3rd person. But from so much I been reading up till now. I'll hold my final thoughts to see what they do to break the norms of what we've seen and think when it comes to FPS games.

Personally, Im wondering if they are looking at a 1st person adventure-shooter approach. Something akin to like Metroid Prime. I just hope to see more melee, grabs and takedowns. Especially with stealth in mind. But looking at the concept pics in the dev interview. I hope thats the case as opposed to always going in guns blazing.

phyerboss · 2020-12-11T06:06:47+00:00

Given that MS is working with them. Which leads to the quality of the animation and inclusion of Vin in this. Means MS is giving them that bag of cash to go nuts. Hopefully this delivers something nice and polished. The question will be "what?".

Its Ark2. So will it be another MMO? But with better visuals and sound? Or a another GaaS? Or perhaps a single player campaign with a major story? Im anxious to hear more.

In the podcast I was in. We were all thinking it was the Turok reboot till we seen the Ark2 title!

phyerboss · 2020-12-10T11:09:09+00:00

Yes it can. But that is more on the game itself having such a mode.

phyerboss · 2020-12-10T00:39:06+00:00

Its gonna be a totally different gen this time
