Yeah. Makes one wonder why nobody before tried it. I mean Ark has capturing Dinos, but it is not exactly the same. |
Ark was fun at times but man it was one of the ugliest and buggiest games I've ever played, Lol.
I also wish it was just a dinosaur title with none of the futuristic nonsense. I've long wanted someone to make an actually good dinosaur title, during the Mesozoic era, playing as a human, with massive jungles making Earth feel truly wild, every dinosaur encounter at the start will feel like a terrifying but amazing experience but developers keep adding stuff like guns, future tech, or the games are just bad, Lol.
I'd take a single-player only title though set in a city taken over by nature with dinosaurs returned, something like The Division but with dinosaurs, Lol. Just imagine walking down the street and you hear a t-rex approaching but don't know from which direction, or you're scavenging a building but velociraptors are inside of it and you're running/fighting them off close quarters, add in a sprinkling of Metro's feel, low ammo, all alone.
The Division + Metro + Dinosaurs.

They could mark it down to like 5 dollars or something and they'd probably have tons of people running to stores to get a copy and they'd still at least get some kind of money for the game. Does it pain them so much to offer something for so cheap? |
Isn't Microsoft covering the costs?
| shikamaru317 said: Yikes, Schreier sure is insufferable at times. He put at statement saying Starfield only reviewed well because of Xbox fansites inflating it's score, in his eyes the fact that 5 out of 15 of Starfield's 95 or higher scores on Metacritic came from Xbox fansites meant that the score is inflated (never mind the fact that 2/3rds of it's high scores on Metacritic came from normal gaming sites, while more than 6/7ths of it's high scores on Opencritic came from normal gaming sites instead of Xbox fansites). People decided to roast him with pictures of perfect 10's for weaker Sony games from PS fan sites, such as GT7: |
Yeah, I saw that, already posted my thoughts.
Feels insulting to Xbox site reviewers, ignores PS site reviewers, ignores the PC Meta having only 1 Xbox fan site and being higher score than the Xbox meta, it ignores that Metacritic weights reviews so Xbox fan sites have less impact on the scores than sites like IGN. Tries to paint a picture that the average is "deceptively high" and tries to spread a narrative that Starfield has weak reviews sitting at an average of 83, 85 and 86, Lol.
| crissindahouse said: Speaking of Starfield, it surpassed Skyrim and Battlefield 3 on True Achievements! But yeah, only a small percentage of Xbox players buys physical nowadays. |
Yeah. Sony's full software digital share was 67% as of March 2023, Microsoft's we know is higher based on comments from those in the industry. I'd predict anywhere from 70-80% for Xbox. I think it's the way things are heading (like PC) but Microsoft is ahead of the pack because their consumers are more digital focused than others due to various factors. Both MS and the retailers likely deeming it not worth the costs anymore.
In the UK, it feels like physical game media is rapidly dying, Tesco (a major supermarket chain) decided to stop selling them completely, Game is a rip off which many people hate but they've stopped doing trade-ins and selling pre-owned games now. Best Buy in America announced they will stop selling physical Films and TV in 2024, I would bet in the next 3-5 years that will extend to Games.
I've not used a disc once for my Series X, at this point, I'd be scared about putting a disc into my Series X since it hasn't been used ever, Lmao. I don't think I've purchased a physical disc for either my Xbox or Switch since...At least pre-2020, maybe around 2018 was my last physical purchase. Game Pass pretty much made me go all digital, I thought if I'm not buying 1st party anymore then I might as well go all the way and save space, Lol.
| Zippy6 said: Palworld got patched on Xbox/gamepass now the weekend is over but apparently has caused some pretty big issues. What is the certification delays for if not to stop stuff like this? |
I swear I read that at least one of those issues have always existed (no quit button) so it likely just wasn't something fixed by the latest patch, I'm not sure about the other issues. Technically, the certification wouldn't be a delay on Xbox's part, it's procedure as normal, but procedure as normal is way slower than Steam, Lol.
So now the Xbox version is 0.1.1.0 and the Steam version is 0.1.2.0
