I've read two reviews, one that says the first half is great but the second half isn't and the other says the opposite. Hopefully I'm the person who enjoys both halves.

That video seems overall positive on the game and the technical performance. Which seems at odds with the reaction to it in this thread.

Nah you're supposed to overreact to the small number (900!) and laugh.

Dynamic resolution scaling happened. I doubt you'd even notice it and the frame rate would stay stable.

Do you understand how dynamic resolution scaling works? It's 900p for half of a second as a huge explosion is happening. You won't be able to tell.

7/10’s are perfect for gamepass. There’s always a few I think are way better than their average but now I don’t have to pay full price to find out.

I played through Donut County yesterday and it was great. Another game I would be unlikely to purchase outright.

1. These codes definitely work for both new and existing users.
Theoretically, you can stack your subscription up to 36 months, but our security system will start rejecting your orders and not accepting your money after a several of them in a span of 24 hours (standard measures to avoid buyer abuse).
2. Please make sure you are selecting the cheapest seller from the list when buying on the product page to ensure you get the prices indicated by the OP on this thread.

Midnight Club: LA doesn't show up on microsoft's backwards compatibility list but it is in fact a BC title. I wonder if some weird rear end licensing deal causes them to not be able to advertise it as BC despite being able to put the disc into my XSX and play it. totally forgot about how good the soundtrack is. game fuckin owns

I bought 10 and only 3 worked.

It’s a pretty big YMMV thing looking at the thread on slick deals.

I’m not really out money I guess?

I still opened a support ticket. I’ve bought from this vendor before and never had a problem though.

That’s Awesome that it worked but going by that SD thread it’s a big gamble to get more.

Although as a few people pointed out PayPal would give you your money back if it goes wrong so :shrug:

I got four working codes, and then a refund for the rest, so I guess I'll take a month of Ultimate for 2 bucks.

Did you check your subscription end date to confirm they didn't work?

I only ask, because I used this deal direct on Eneba earlier this week and even though it'd say quite often that the code was already used, if you check your subscription date it still added on the 7 days. Every now and then you'd get a 'something went wrong'. If you wait a few minutes before trying again it worked fine.

Of the 32 codes I bought, over half had an error, but every one of them added onto my subscription end date.

Yeah I checked it and they didn’t apply.

I sent a support ticket in and they said they are aware of the issue and offered a refund :shrug:

yea this isn't a console issue, it's a bad game issue

if you want to go full console war the Xbonx is already pissing on the PS5 in multi-plats and the difference will only become more pronounced over time as currently the PS5 dev tools are more advanced with MS playing catchup

it has better gpu and cpu but a worse storage and memory solution. also while the ps5 is cosmically large the xbox is also too big and a weird shape. both consoles have stupid cooling systems. they both suck, need actual games to come out and hardware revisions before i would look at either .

so what lol that doesnt just automatically make the hardware good, theres more to it than "big number good". the memory is insanely stupid, the sdk sucks currently and devs cant get it going how it should for its spec, the form factor is completely bizarre, the storage solution is 360 propritary harddrive garbage brought back when drive space is getting filled up by unoptimized rushed games. the cpu and gpu being solid doesnt mean anything when everything else around it sucks. both consoles will inevitably get a slim revision thats a normal form factor and more sane size and ship with better internal storage numbers. this is like the ps3/360 gen if both of them released a ps3 lol

American McGay posted:

iits just a big fan sitting on top of everything with messed up airflow and no filtering, complete garbage. hate to see/hear how theyre going to end up by the end of the gen. at least it doesnt currently ship with heating issues tho like the ps5 and its memory that runs at 95c.
