I haven't trusted goons since they recommended EDF, but it sounds like reading the game's description right next to the download button might have solved your problem.

EDF is pretty great, though there is a curve. Did you play it by yourself? It's a million times more fun with local co-op. Also there's an impostor one done by a western studio, called EDF: Iron Rain or something and it misses the point IIRC.

It was Insect Armageddon which I think was the imposter one, and people told me after the fact I should have known better, so I said okay and played something else.

I played it on PC and even when it plays smoothly it's just extremely mid. I wouldn't recommend anyone touch Bloodstained until they've played every post-SotN Castlevania. Fire up Aria of Sorrow on a GBA emulator.

That's fair, but also, there aren't that many of those. Won't take long to go through them. Bloodstained is good.

To Bloodstain's credit, they added an in-game randomizer, which more games should be doing, when applicable.

Bloodstained is pretty ugly but it still has those Iga hooks. I think my favorite part was the food system that provided permanent upgrades so it made seeking out ingredients and recipes pretty satisfying.

Ok, let me be real for a second. I downloaded the game Far because someone recommended it here, but it's not about rafts. It's some dumb platformer like Limbo. I was hoping for something like Flame in the Flood. This is the first time goons have steered me wrong, and I'm disappointed.

The poster literally wrote Limbo in their description of the game though lol

Apparently this is an Xbox exclusive bug, supposedly it doesn't happen on the PS version.

The game has a lot of things like that in the Xbox version only, kinda sucks hard.

Losing my will to live with my Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2. Connection drops are ridiculous, though the sound quality is good.

Going to return them to Amazon - any recommendations for the Xbox Series X that are of comparable price and quality, but are more reliable? In the UK if that's relevant.

I haven't had those problems with the 700 Gen 2s, but I also have the official Xbox Wireless Headset and like it quite a bit to the point I haven't used the Turtle Beach one in a while. It's not perfect but I like the dial controls and dual wireless connections.

I would check the Turtle Beach app on your phone and see if there's a firmware update for the 700 Gen 2 or something first, though, if you haven't yet done so.

I had to send back my Xbox wireless headset because the mic stem broke. Firmware is up to date on the 700 Gen 2.

All good. :) They probably could've summarised the gameplay loop as you basically sail from left to right, picking up scrap along the way (to feed the furnace) and stopping at roadblocks where you do a puzzle to unlock a new piece to the raft.

Apparently an Xbox version of Baldur's Gate 3 is in development, but they're having trouble getting split screen working right on the weaker Xbox Series S which is preventing them from being able to release at the same time as other platforms, and may prevent it from releasing on Xbox entirely if they can't find a way to get it working well.

This is actually close to real life lol


quote:

Two Marines, according to the book, somersaulted for 300 meters to approach the sensor. Another pair hid under a cardboard box.

“You could hear them giggling the whole time,” said Root in the book.

One Marine stripped a fir tree and held it in front of him as he approached the sensor. In the end, while the artificial intelligence knew how to identify a person walking, that was pretty much all it knew because that was all it had been modeled to detect.

The devs don't actually say it's because of the Series S, apparently it's both SX and SS that have the splitscreen issue. It's mostly Twitter randos that have been saying this, and gaming "journalism" ran away with it.

My girlfriend wanted to play this new Harry Potter game but it wasn't available for One S. So my friend lent me his Xbox One X except the game can't be bought for this console either because apparently it's not the same as an Xbox Series X so now I have to get one of those, which you still can't find anywhere 2 years after its release and you have to purchase it in a bundle with a racing game, all so we can play this lovely game by an idiot transphobe
