lmao, have you been paying attention this gen?

i fail to see how a bunch of fourth-rate studios are gonna solve their problem of not having enough good games on game pass. as it stands there's not much incentive for most people to subscribe for more than a few months a year at a heavily discounted price. adding a bunch of the shitty games that microsoft studios are known for won't change that, especially if they up the price.

cool, and then the majority of people will unsub because there's like 4 good recent games on the service.

BANGERS

So Microsoft is taking the 1 dollar I gave them and using it to cover the physical sale loss of Outer Worlds? Doubt.

Yeah I dunno how the math is even close to working out for the devs for these gamepass games. Microsoft is basically begging people to play these games for free. Microsoft just continues to find new ways to kill studios.

makes sense, i didn't see that in my stats but ill check again. thanks!

Sweet. I'll wait and see how I feel at that point about it, still on the fence and got a lot on the go already.

Did I miss something or is the only penalty for heavier armours the increased encumbrance?

Just made it out of the first area, did all the content I could find. I love how dense the areas are, they’re not unnecessarily big for the sake of it.

I forgot how bad gaming ADD I get when gaming on PC. So many options, so few clicks away..... Forza Horizon 4 has been cutting into my Outer Worlds time but god damn is it good. Played the shit outta Forza 2 back on 360...it was the perfect game to just play mindlessly and listen to podcasts too. This seems like it'll fill that hole, haven't played a racer I liked this gen.

The base game is on sale on Steam right now. Think I might double dip. I loved MHW for PS4 but only just got to end game and never got Iceborne yet. hows the base game on PC? Is controller the best way to play it?

damn, that was fuckin sweet. love hearing 8-16bit video game music covers.

Yeah thanks MS for making such a shitty system that you were forced to provide a subscription service that gives you access to the games for pennies on the dollar in order to make your platform even remotely intriguing

im so torn on how to distribute my skill points. there's like 5 categories that seem like things i want but i know it's probably better to focus on a couple specifically.

I see myself subbing for a month here and a month there as enough games pile up and when I have a lull in stuff im playing. tbh I'm not super impressed by what's on there. there's a few solid games but nothing mind blowing.

i think so, the gunplay feels closer to a mass effect than the clunky fo4. i mean there's not much to it, you point and click, but it's more enjoyable to me. i hated VATS though.

Played a couple hours last night. Really digging it. Can already safely say it's better than any shitty 3d Fallout game ever was. The combat not being awful really helps. Also loving the amount of customization, lots of stats/perks to keep track of.

it's very much a north american capitalist thing. at least USA ain't as bad as Canada.

Outer Worlds is really cool so far. game looks great too, first recent game I’m playing on my rig (waiting on steam sale).

r/nbastreams is down and NBA League Pass in Canada is trash cause every game that's on NBA TV (ie. basically all the good matches...bucks/rockets tonight for example) is blacked out.

Yep. Humans back then weren't able to ship shit in from around the world making it pretty tough to get your nutrients like you said. On top of that one of the big things that helped in evolution was the overall diversity of diet that came with being hunter gatherers...you ate whatver was available that day which generally resulted in getting a wide range of vitamins and nutrients. I'd say a bigger concern than lack of meat would be the overall lack of diversity in diets these days. I'm guilty of it...I eat "enough" fruit/veggies but I'm terrible at mixing it up...most o

Yeah, Ori is on my list but I had an itch for a more loot driven metroidvania.

For sure. I know a lot of athletes are going that route now but it's usually in sports where muscle isn't everything. I think a vegan diet is probably better in sports that are more geared towards endurance and not something like football where you want to be jacked. Also helps that most those guys are gonna have access to private chefs and probably people shopping for them lol.
