I was so close to buying this yesterday, but mam, between the micro-transaction bullshit, and the insane price they're asking for it, I just can't.  I think I'll wait for a sale or game pass release at this point.  Thankfully, I've been hearing some good things about it gameplay-wise.

Apparently if you try and start a new game with a new character after deleting your local save file then Denuvo will ban you for system tampering lmao! What an absolute shit show. 

Oops 🙈🤣
 
 

Another promising game that's had a miserable launch which will sour it permanently. This time a disgusting amount of microtransactions along with aggressive Denuvo implementation and performance issues. Literally charging $2 just to edit your character! Never got the original despite it's cult success but it just defies belief how companies literally ruin their new game for the sake of greed. It's not like Capcom need the money either and it's a full price bloody game too!  

Stupid name for a game if you ask me, but looks interesting enough. Hope it comes into GamePass otherwise I'll be waiting for a sale.

Down to 19% now. The game unpacked is apparently over 60gb which is hilarious. Developers couldn't even be bothered to compress their upscaled textures which suggest it was probably done by AI also. Another classic destroyed. Very weird how Aspyr were able to do the Tomb Raider trilogy very well but this one was remarkably low-effort if no effort at all. 

Damn it all.  

Damn it all.  

'Probably one of the worst launches of all time': Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection players tear into Aspyr for bugs, crashes, and 3 64-player launch servers for nearly 10,000 users | PC Gamer
WWW.PCGAMER.COM The Classic Collection was meant to bring balance to Battlefront, not destroy it.  

Game has released and it's sitting at just 21% positive right now. Looks like a very low-effort re-release and a very expensive one too. Netcode and input lag issues seem to be the biggest complaint. The modded originals that you could've got anytime for a fiver in the last 15 years look way better. 

New update has dropped, think there's some youtuber hands-on gameplay coming this weekend too
 
 

A bunch of content creators did some videos on it a couple of weeks ago. I watched a few. It does look great and has a lot of Tarkov vibes. If they pull it off and it all works then it'll be up my street.
By pull it off I mean net code, lag etc need to he non existent... plus shooting mechanics all need to be top notch.

Does anyone know much about this one? Haven't heard anything about it, but the trailer looks decent.
 

I don't know.  It depends on the "crack."  🤪

Agreed.  I think Sony is just trying to squeeze more money out of it before a sequel is announced.

Our podcast partner, Adrian has been digging it lately.  I may grab it at some point if it goes on sale.
