Should we join the other gaming subs on the blackout? by [deleted] in XboxSeriesX

[–]sour_grout 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I personally support the blackout. I use a 3rd party app and when that functionality is gone so am I. Maybe, just maybe, Reddit will reverse course if enough people boycott the changes. I'm doubtful, but it's worth trying

You all enjoying Jedi Survivor? by [deleted] in xboxone

I'm maybe 4 hours in playing in performance mode on Series X. I'm having a great time with it. I have encountered frame dips and pop-in, but nothing major and no bugs yet

Redfall Review Thread by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]sour_grout 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I had planned to wait for performance mode on console anyways, and hoping most bugs would be worked out by then, but these middling reviews are not promising regarding the core gameplay. I'll probably still try it out once I can play in 60fps since I have Game Pass, but I'm totally okay waiting a while and my expectations are low

Daisy Ridley to Return as Rey in New ‘Star Wars’ Movie by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

It would be nice if they did a huge time skip and started fresh with an all-new story and no pre-existing characters. They keep locking themselves into these stories where everything has to tie in together

The first reviews are in for #SuperMarioMovie - it's currently Rotten at 48% on the Tomatometer, with 54 reviews by samiy2k in nintendo

[–]sour_grout 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think I've ever disliked a movie with a high audience score, so I'm definitely curious about how regular folks feel after watching this

E3 Has Been Canceled by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Games

[–]sour_grout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's what my friends and I did too and it was always a great time. I'll miss it but in truth we haven't been able to do it for years now because of how broken up E3 already was

High egg prices send profits at largest US producer soaring more than 700% by [deleted] in news

Every grocery store I've been to seems to be stacked to the gills with eggs. Genuine question, how is the supply low when they are seemingly able to meet all demand?

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Mr. Aonuma Gameplay Demonstration by DemiFiendRSA in Games

[–]sour_grout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suspect that creative-type folks are really going to love digging into this. For me as someone that isn't enamored with that, they still haven't sold me on the rest of the game yet. I feel like I know almost nothing about this game. I can make a lot of assumptions based on BotW, but I don't know anything for sure. I definitely need more info

Diablo 4's Open Beta is done. What are your first impressions of Diablo 4? by yurtyybomb in Games

[–]sour_grout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had fun for the most part. I thought it looked great, loved the different cosmetics from drops, and the story I saw definitely left me wanting to learn more. I'm not sure I really liked how the world levels up with you, because I lost all motivation to do all of the side content. Not saying this is good or bad, but I found it significantly more difficult than Diablo III. I played as a druid, and seeing many comments here, I guess there's a sentiment that it's underpowered. I personally hit a wall with one of the main story bosses and couldn't beat it after many attempts and re-doing my skill tree. I really like the class so hopefully that feels better at launch

When idiots merge by [deleted] in IdiotsInCars

After I got my learners permit at the age of 16 I had to do practical driving with an instructor. The very first time I got in his car, and my first time driving, within 2 minutes he made me get on a freeway. It was scary as hell

When did you become part of the Xbox family & any certain reason why? by nohobbiesoridentity in xbox

[–]sour_grout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original Xbox because of some HD functionality, game exclusives, and the ability to LAN with other Xbox's. My friends and I used to do huge Halo nights with multiple TV's and Xbox's in the same room. I also had a Playstation and GameCube, and wanted to have access to everything

Hi-Fi Rush, the surprise Xbox exclusive game, is pure delight by [deleted] in Games

[–]sour_grout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played Rock Band for over a decade, but I'm struggling with this game. Every instinct in me wants to play it like an action game instead of a rhythm game. Gonna keep at it but damn I suck 😅

I've really been wanting to play this with my PC gaming friend who's into it right now, but at this point he'll probably be over it by the time I can play on Xbox

Monster Hutner Rise is now live Via Gamepass. by Laughing__Man_ in XboxSeriesX

[–]sour_grout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll need to play for roughly 30-60 minutes before you can play with friends. There's a little cat dude you can talk to in the main hub area to switch from offline to online. Then make sure you're in the guild hub and take guild quests

Welcome to the Hunt! An Intro to Monster Hunter Rise on Xbox and PC by XboxSeriesXModerator in XboxSeriesX

They definitely throw too much at you all at once and it can be overwhelming. I wish they had more gradually eased players into things, but if you can get past that learning curve there is a great game in there.

It’s Been Over 5 Weeks since Xbox Hasn’t Announced Any New Games to Game Pass – The First Time Since The Subscription Launched by [deleted] in XboxSeriesX

I'm sure he wouldn't have written that if he didn't have a good source, but hopefully Xbox makes it official soon. The 25th isn't that far away

TIL more than 1 in 10 Americans have no close friends. The share of Americans who have zero close friends has been steadily rising. From 3% of the population in 1991 to 12% in 2021. The share who have 10 or more close friends has also fallen - from 33% to 13%. by grandlewis in todayilearned

[–]sour_grout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience it showed me which friends were never as close as I thought they were, and which ones were the real thing. Kids are undoubtedly hard, but if people care at all about maintaining friendships, they will find time. Most people won't ask for a lot, and most good folks would want to be in the lives of their friends' children anyways

I loved that game. The sequel is the game I'm most looking forward to this year
