Started Evil West. New IP I believe. Refreshing change from the open world shit. Combat is pretty decent, nothing crazy or special. Seems like a decent AA game. Graphics are kinda ehh, but holy shit, they overuse red in this game. Fire and red lighting. Kinda hurts the eyes a little tbh; it's like playing a game in Hell.

I’ve heard Forspoken is actually a really good game, better than the meta says 👀

Well it's better than Redfall that's for sure. We bots took a massive L on that one. 

Not sure I agree with that assessment. The writing on Forspoken is pure cringe based on some clips I saw of it, and for me at least, cringe writing is a far bigger crime than anything Redfall got wrong with performance and gameplay.

I think if Asus is a success then Microsoft will just treat that as their unofficial handheld.

No point in trying to create their own handheld, they'll just support everyone else who comes out with one.

But we really need a Windows for Handheld and a Xbox Store which is disconnected entirely from Windows Store.

Well, they'll have all the incentives to support it as best as they can but also support every similar third-party offering.

For a custom version of Windows, it's hard to say, they have already done such a thing but way more aggressively with their Windows IOT initiative but it might not be necessary to go to such length here.

For the Xbox store, I have not encountered an issue in a long time, and it looks to have redeemed itself to some extent lately 

One thing is for sure Ayaneo should revise its pricing strategy ASAP. 😉 

Sorta off-topic question a little but semi-linked to recent Starfield discussion.

What is everyone's favourite ship in Sci-Fi?

USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) I know it's from the original series and a bit cheesy to today's standards, but I grew up to reruns back in the eighties and it was something my father and I shared.

Pillar of Autumn, Halo CE is one of my favorite games from my childhood. Halo Reach is also a great game despite some of the inconsistencies.  

The Normandy for me. Specifically the SR2
