Frostpunk is the only game I've played for past days. Don't even feel like playing anything else. What a gem. 

I was able to beat The Refugees scenario on hard difficulty after some careful planning and a couple of failed playthroughs. I couldn't do the best ending but it was all about survival :P

Now I've tried the final scenario five times and can't get past the first days! All scenarios are very different. Hope they'll add rest of dlc to Xbox as well. 

I've never played a game before where failure isn't annoying at all. 

Thx Barozi, I had never even heard about this game before you recommended it.

Well first time I heard about it was when it joined Game Pass earlier this year. Only other game I ever played from these devs was Anomaly: Warzone Earth which was a fun XBLA title at the time but not nearly on the same level.

The first scenario is all I played thus far because I know that if I started the second, I wouldn't stop until I either failed or succeeded.



Man, I need to get in on this insider gamer. I post random gifs in response to existing rumors, and then when they end up being right or wrong all I gotta do is explain how that gif clearly shows I knew the info true/BS.

1. The squirrel I posted is eating, which I clearly meant as a metaphor for the fact that Xbox fans 'bout to eat with all the juicy stuff comin their way!

2. Dude....the gif I posted clearly shows a squirrel shoving a whole fucking peanut it's mouth. A nut. Cus you'd have to be nuts to believe anything from 4chan....get it? I mean it's right there bro!

Lots of salt, it's 4Chan, curious about Klob's Tweet though and it lines up with when XboxERA said they'd be an event in April or May, also it makes sense with Shinobi's teasing of something happening very soon so who knows...

Lots of vagueness though and easy guesses, if Klob didn't reply I would have discredited it instantly.

I’d like to believe there will be 2 events. A console reveal takes up too many precious minutes. Let the E3 showcase all the games. Let a Lockhart reveal coupled with Halo Infinite be the 2nd show.

There is one part of the leak that concerns me though. That big Halo MP thing tease reads like battle royale to me. Not what Halo needs to get it's MP back on top imo.

Didn't 343 say once before that they wouldn't do BR?

We don't need BR, do Warzone 2.0, it would be far more interesting.

I’m afraid this is what the masses will interpret but technically no. 343 said any interpretation they do will be uniquely Halo and therefore it would be incorrect to compare it to Fortnight or Apex. 

Its like when Ninja Theory said Bleeding Edge was a 3rd person melee brawler and people still dumbed it down “its OVERWATCH”. You will always have lowest common denominator comparisons but 343 says it will be a purely Halo experience.

Well guys, I hate to say it, but I think that Bleeding Edge is dead. It's not on the top 50 most played games list for Xbox One; meanwhile it's been 3 weeks with no new content but a Sea of Thieves hoverboard, we're still waiting for the dolphin character that was supposed to be ready at launch, let alone new maps, modes, and other new heroes. I have no idea why Microsoft sent it out to die with so little content, when they knew that Covid would affect their ability to support it with content post-release. Smart thing to do would have been delay it and make it a next gen launch title with improved graphics on Xbox Series, those extra 6 months or so would have allowed more content to be ready on release and the console launch exclusive effect would have boosted the early playerbase.

If it had more maps, a few more characters, and a couple more objectives this would have had staying power. I stopped myself. Got most of the achievements, and suddenly I didn’t have much motivation to keep going. 

It’s ok. Lesson learned, it’s a small team anyway with a 68 meta score. Make the sequel bigger and better and you got a contender.

I think he was referring to the tweet where they said "The only BR in Halo is the Battle Rifle" when somebody asked about battle royale. 

I tried to find the quote but I can’t. They said sometime after that whatever new things they try to add to Halo Infinite some people may cry out it’s copying BR when really it’s just the team making something new and making it authentically Halo. So worst case if something resembling BR is made, there will be more then enough difference to say those similarities are superficial.

Japanese exclusive sounds intriguing and im also pretty hyped for Fable and Halo. Hopefully they have Halo and Fable for May. Halo gameplay, Obsidian, Japanese exclusive, and Forza for E3.



I’m calling it now that big new Japanese IP is by SEGA specifically by Ryo Ga Gotoku Studio(Yakuza Devs).

I wouldn’t be shocked if MS and Sega formed a partnership for next gen, Relic developing AoE is a pretty big deal and Creative Assembly made Halo Wars 2 so the relationship is already there.

Nah, do that at the end of the June event, price could be a mic drop moment if they get it right.

Phil Spencer: Xbox Series X $399 and Xbox Series S $249! 

*Drops mic* 

That would kill everyone, the meltdowns and concern trolling would be like nothing we have ever seen before.
