The moment Game Pass wouldn’t let me cheese the system and get it for like $1-2 a month, I quit bothering with it. I knew they were trying to get people hooked and raise prices. It was only like a year later and then even my friends canceled theirs.
I buy games heavily on sale, or sail the seas.
Luckily my gaming PC is more than good enough to ride out the next 5 years. knocks on wood. 5800X3D + 6800 XT.
For anyone else cross your fingers the GabeCube isn’t too expensive $$$.
Not replace, but it’s an official alternative from M$.
I get the upset over the battery, but it seems everyone missed this:
No charging: The battery lasts for up to years of average use. After the end of its life, send your ring back to us for recycling.
I’d hope they offer a discount on a new one if you send in your old.
In case this helps, for me when I use it on Android TV with said TV’s remote, the arrow buttons on the direction pad for anything require pressing play/OK button after. But if I use the fast forward buttons, it does seek and then just keeps playing.
Lmao, now the thought of that being his daughter is making it more funny.
The son with the same mustache and glasses is peak comedy. That got me good.
See my comment above yours, its really such a refreshing Windows experience, it feels like the good old days.
I used to be an xlite fan, but have since discovered 11 IoT Enterprise LSTC. massgrave.dev
Same idea of bullshit free, but more stable and straight from M$, themselves. Defender and Edge ONLY.
Then install StartAllBack on top of that. Everything feels sane, and snappy and back to sanity.
If you reformat, look into 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC. massgrave.dev
If Valve can make wireless vr AND fix windows only anticheat, both next year, I’m going to be 10 different kinds of happy. I would love to basically never need my W11 SSD ever again.
Which is where StartAllBack comes into play. Its not just one sluggish mess. It feels normal lol.
For real, lmao.
Some anecdotal evidence, but when I boot into my W11 install for certain online games, I have none of these issues mentioned. My 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC + StartAllBack setup- knocks on wood- continues to be bullet proof. For anyone who still needs Windows, I highly recommend it.
Don’t forget quite possibly the worst UI ever conceived for a PC game.
People are huffing massive hopium if they think that 343, of all studios, is going to put out an UE5 game that isn’t unoptimized trash.
Edit: doesnt seem to be 343 anymore!
Edit edit: apparently still 343 lol.
I used to love Hunt, but then the meta became too fast for me, I loved taking that game slow and sneaking. Now it’s just pick the best guns and run run run.
Grey Zone I have yet to try, but the concensis seems to be let it cook a bit more?
I didn’t get to play enough Hunger yet to experience customization, just trying to learn the maps and get new weapons. I didn’t even get to try any PvP the maps are so large.
The biggest hurdle they’re facing by far is game performance/optimization, so far the game has run terribly! The last play test I capped my FPS to 30, otherwise it was all over the place to the point of giving me motion sickness, so it diminished a lot of desire to play more. And I play a decent amount of VR and never get motion sickness. 5800X3D + 6800 XT and W11 IoT Enterprise LTSC for reference.
I’m trying to walk a fine line of not revealing much outside what can be seen in their trailers since NDA, lol.
The immersion feeling and overall excitement during matches was on point though. It has such a fun and unique setting!
Youre probably correct about Hunger. It’s fun, but it is slowwwwwwwww and way more “hardcore” compared to ARC Raiders. I’m in their NDA play tests, for what it’s worth.
I personally will drop $40, and only because it’s from Embark Studios. Currently one of the very few studios I have faith in.
It’s been the only extraction shooter I’ve ever enjoyed. I’m 100% going to buy it on the 30th, baring they don’t pull a u-turn in gameplay last minute. But I have 0 worries with Embark at this point, as I agree they’ve done an *excellent * job handling The Finals. It’s proof GaaS can be great if done correctly.
