  1. Spiderman 2 is some 4 points higher than part 1 on metascore. Usually that doesn't happen unless sequel is truly ground breaking. I would like to see how it justifies 90+ score.
  2. New Mario game is getting good metascore.
  3. You do realise they paid 70 billion usd to purchase acti-blizz? Sony doesn't have much of a say really. Only thing they are getting is game on their system.
  4. Bigger issue is making it an exclusive. Should be widely available. It's more than 10 million + seller. Bethesda, CD Project Red, these types of games don't come out often. So everyone gets to them eventually. MS must have done some math and figured out gamepass is fine. But making it exclusive is unnecessary.
  5. Already announced Diablo 4 and COD MW3 aren't coming to gamepass.

    STARFIELD

    90 hrs in, done only 5 main quests, no faction quests or companion quests. I think this game is gonna last me a long time. Yesterday decided to drop it and start playing something else. But somehow wondered back and started playing it. Next thing, I check the clock, 2 hrs already gone.
  7. Dead Space already?? Enjoy everyone who haven't played it.
  8. MS wouldn't give them the contract. They are competitors. They will flip the industry if given a chance.
  9. 95-100.
  10. City is a great game no doubt. I remember getting it day 1. Then finished it in 2-3 sittings over next weekend. If you like games with good pacing, it's one of the best. But feels insubstantial. Will be over in a flash. Knight on the other hand is a meaty game. Easily will take 2 weeks instead of 2 days. Batmobile sections are uber hard, especially last one. Feels impossible till you get good. I also preferred how Knight ends, bad guys really bring the city down. So yeah, Knight for me, any day.
  11. City already dethroned by Knight.
  12. You can explore planets. They have put procedurally generated activities there. As expected. If you don't find that fun, you can focus on quests, character building etc. So much to do in the game.
  13. You can't ridicule Starfield. It's feature complete, loaded with content and features, looks and sounds amazing. Takes a break from Bethesda's own formula and gives you new ways to play the game. What exactly is there to ridicule about it?
  14. Starfield hype was self generated. Nobody hyped it up. And it delivered on promises. Yet somehow it didn't match the hype somehow. Funny things happen in gaming.
  15. Problems are there if you play story driven games. If you prefer system driven games, you will be playing it for a very long time. It's same as any other Bethesda games. You don't play it for seeing how story ends. You play it to engage in systems and sim elements they put in their games. You don't dock points from a Mario games cause it doesn't have thought provoking story.
  16. The thing is, Starfield would have scored way higher if media cartel wasn't against it. Which Bethesda game has scored this low? Never happened. Suddenly they have fallen from grace doesn't make sense. Radical and ank are doing what they do. So I blame the media. That's the point.
  17. I understand some people want validation from outside sources on what's most enjoyable game is, like 95 metascore or GOTY awards by Lord Keightly himself. I am not one of them though, I can make up my own mind thank you very much. Don't understand how GAAS titles work? Never defended it at launch. But will play it when they will fix it. Fallout 76 was a disaster at launch but will gladly play it now if I have the time.
  18. I could visit a 1000 planets. Or I could play a dlc. Looks like a difficult choice to you?
  19. Cmon, including Starfield and Forza in this is like criticising Sony for releasing Ghost of Tsushima or God of War Ragnorok. Redfall is GAAS title and last I checked, it received a major update. Definitely will recover. From what I see they are doing just fine. Only issue I see is metacritic scores are not high, seems to be designed to protect both Sony/Nintendo and their console market share. I am fine with that, I play games not metascore. Don't care for high sales for any consoles either. Not a shareholder so doesn't affect me. As long as they release good games am fine.
  20. Set pieces. If you like them you will like this game.
  21. That's cause old tech lacked scalability like these new chips. Look at how much performance difference is there in docked vs handheld mode in Asus Rog Ally. 4 TF power in handheld mode constantly will drain battery in 1/2 hrs. Of course it remains to be seen what Nvidia is able to come up with.
  22. This doesn't make any sense. It will be hybrid console. So likely, Series S performance in docked mode. Xbox One S performance in portable mode. Will have next generation features but raw performance could be in that ballpark.

    STARFIELD

    80 hrs in. Time for some critical issues I am having with the game. A couple of observations. - Game can sometimes be difficult to have fun with. - I don't know how to stop playing it if I am not having fun. Ok, both of them expand on same point. But I do experience some wild swings in how much I am enjoying it. One day I am having an absolute blast. Found a quest that had me explore an underground lab where something went horribly wrong. Very cool. 10/10. Next day, I decide to play more quests. Tried 3 of them, all turned out to be intergalactic fetch quests. Tough luck, so decided to do some planet scanning. Can't find last animal after 3 hrs.... Ok, no problem, let's explore some planets and see if we find any cool settlements. Nothing after an hour. Today's session turned out to be 6/10. Next day can be anything from 6/10 to 10/10 experience. There is no guarantee. ------- One thing I do like about it is how music and graphics/atmosphere come together to give you an experience. It stimulates me like no other game gawking at scenery. Bethesda were always good at this but I think Starfield is leaps and bounds above what they have made before. Sure, listening to soundtrack on Spotify, Final Fantasy 16 is better. But the way soundtrack in this game compliments and enhances my experience, I think it's peerless. This might be the reason why I can't stop playing it despite some 6/10 sessions.
