I use these for everything, if you use lots of AA's and such for like remotes, clocks ect, The ones in my Xbox Game pad have with out recharging been in there for months. Really is worth it.

Fun fact Sony only is in 69 nations, and Xbox is only in 42. Some of this is I feel a lot above our heads.

Its a good game, the main issue I think still is it takes 'too long' to get going, you have to be quite a few hours in to it before things pick up and you can do well, the game. Not sure of a better way to describe it. I did love the Easter egg at the end though relating to ***SF*** if you know you know.

Likewise, I'm about to do some games with some friends here but if you wish to PM me I could share my Discord if you like to talk further. Oddly you bring up THQ that I did some work for in the past.

Also for Starfield I have just a Stock GTX 1080. Not even the 1080i version on an ultra wide and with some Ini, changes and other weird things I know I got it working at Series X frame rate. Sure not the the fancy graphics options. I know Bethesda games have always been mo...

I hate to say it about Starfield I'd have too look at reports from way back when. I swear to god they said it was going to launch with Creation Kit 2 (I worked with 1 alot in Skyrim mods in the block based aka cell based structure) Back then it was great, but for the life of me I don't know how a Studio like Obsidian can make a game same as Bethesda but with less bugs and bull shit. (Fallout Veg and Outer Worlds) Not that it was with out bugs but when a 3rd party does better with your...

I'm glad you brought that up that Killzone had Dedicated servers. I remember the Yellow Dog Linux days of PS3, as well. EA use to do more Dedicated Servers for games but as time went on they would 'rent them out' and slowly the official servers would die down.

P2P Lag always had that magical thing (Gears 2 (Aak the shot gun) and Halo 2,3) fans know as host advantage. That alone allowed for lags switches, booting of others from games. ECT. (Though I admit, was th...

The rough part of all of this is that for those of us on PC mostly be it Windows or Linux based, the anti-cheat sucks up a lot of resources. It kind of reminds me of the conversation between, security and freedom. Too much of ether is both good if managed well or very bad. We just as gamers keep seeing this pop up over and over again. Wish I had some magic wand to stop cheaters... but I don't... hell we just seen what happened with Apex at a high level event.. getting that kind of access ...

At the same quality no, for the Switch I mean. Though we seen some 'impossible' ports in the past too it. The hard part is it uses Nvidia tech.. to be fair it is better then AMD in many ways. We will have to wait and see however. I do think Switch 2 is likely the more promising situation and they Xbox Series systems.

I hate to say this, but its going to get worse. I mostly work in IT now and even though its not reported here. Its hitting everyone. I think it was CITI group that just talked about laying off 20K people...

"Earlier this month, the third-largest U.S. bank announced plans to reduce its headcount by 20,000 people over the next two years."

I can agree on some of this, the two big ones for me are Killer Instinct, and Sunset Overdrive. My reasons for this is that Sony owns EVO and it could spark a new life in the KI IP to have another, even side matches. Sunset Overdrive is one of the most under played games I feel on Xbox, being it was from Insomniac, and near all of the fanbase was on PlayStation.

Nintendo, well they are fine. I honestly see them doing something with Xbox before Sony, If you know the history ...

I want for the love of god to have Xbox go back to the 360 days. They killed it that gen, I will always say this, Sony had the better Console, Xbox had the better System. If not for that I don't think Sony would have pushed for so much more online features to match Xbox.

Those PS Fan boy's are silly, same with Xbox fans. Though, I feel like the Xbox bros, are getting a bit of a short end of the stick atm. Things change yes.. My own taste in games are things like Ar...

I don't do this much but I'll make and effort. This is at both Obscure_Observer and Jin_Sakai.

First off, none of the systems are irrelevant. I, myself am getting a bit tried of all the doom and gloom comments. The real facts are yes, MS is in 3rd place (BOOH ooh) they still make cash, good for them. Nintendo is about as healthy of a company that next to never has laid people off when all others did. Third, Sony is being Sony, They are or at least at this time of wr...

This reminds me of when the one guy at EA said "We should charge per reload" or something like that if any of you remember. Was in regards to the Battlefield series.

I can tell you right now being and have worked with the RT team HS would not sell out, they already said they don't have any plans or capacity to do another BT game. They want to do other things. Everyone in this thread here is very much on drugs. Nothing about what any of your are saying is what the creators and dev's want.

Cry-Tek is something I wanted MS to buy a long time ago being someone who was a big fan of CE3 (The Game Engine.) They had to get bailed out by...

I'm not sure they would work out. If anything I'd like to see Paradox get a boost. HS that made Battletech is great and all but you really need Roughtech to make it what it is today. I don't see MS getting games like that which really only are playable on PC only.

This is some 'Epic' lay offs.

I feel bad already for saying that.

Jack Trenton to this day might be the best CEO I ever seen, I remember to this day him coming out and saying sorry for the PlayStation outage. And, it felt real. Go back and watch it.

@israil I have to respectfully say you are not both wrong and nor wright. Armored Core was the litmus test to see if a AAA Mecha game can be done again in the market. I think they proved it very well, I feel like, I hope, would love if Phil's vision is the same as mine. Trust me, no one was going to pay attention to a Mech game till From Soft made it again. Its one of those.
