I have been noticing an ever increasing amount of banjo & kazooie merchandise being produced. Microsoft has to be licensing out the IP for the merchandise to be produced. Furthermore, the Banjo & Kazooie figures, and collectibles must be selling well, since more-and-more merchandise of the IP keeps being made. There must be some interest in the IP.
The FTC didn't focus on how the deal would harm consumers.
The Bulldogs inability to 1 tap at close range is due to the presence of the grapple shot. The bulldog usually taking 3 shots to kill, makes it poor counter to the energy sword and gravity hammer. This screws up the balance of the melee weapons, as there is no gun that hard counters them at close range.
My opinion:
1. CE Magnum - Pick up weapon
2. "classic" shotgun, similar in function to Halo 4/5 - Pick up weapon
3. Fuel Rod Cannon - Power weapon swap for Rocket Launcher
4. The Saw -Pick up weapon
5. Railgun - Power weapon swap for Rocket Launcher
6. Incineration Cannon - Power weapon swap for Rocket Launcher
7. SMG (Halo 5 variant) -Pick up weapon
The rumoured IO Xbox game is project dragon, not 007.
I stopped pursuing a number of Arkham Knight’s side quests and challenges because of the game’s over reliance on the Batmobile. Driving the Batmobile was fun, but it didn’t need to involved in so many challenges and even boss battles.
Unfortunately, the only modern 3D-Platformers that sells extremely well is Mario. Ratchet and Clank also does well too, but it sells substantially less than 3D Mario titles.
I still question why Halo 5 assets aren’t being ported into and refined for Infinite. Add the Grunt Goblin to Infinite’s campaign. A lot of fan favourite weapons from 5 should make a return too.
Edit: “solid voice actor”
I personally dislike Yongyea’s YouTube channel and channels that do similar reactionary content as him. However, he is a pretty stood voice actor. Enrico Pucci in the English Dub of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is probably Yongyea’s most notable voice work.
I disagree, Craig got quite the glow-up.

I remember having an argument with a friend of mine who was a big MGS4 fan. I personally didn’t feel the was as technically impressive or other games from 2007-2008. I felt Gears of War 2, Uncharted 1, COD 4 and Dead Space were more impressive than MGS4. Three of previously mentioned were on the 360, with Gears 2 being an Xbox exclusive.
The Outer Worlds [and the upcoming Avowed] are smaller scale RPGs than Skyrim and Starfiled. Obsidian should be free to build up its own original IPs. Even though their is a demand for the studio to make another Fallout game.
“Exploit” the Lord of the Rings IP?
Crystal Dynamics is likely unaffected by the restructuring because of its development contract for Perfect Dark. The studio is receiving money from MS, and doesn’t yet have to rely on sales revenue to stay open.
The facial capture was really impressive, especially consider that the engine being used was initially for racers.
A lot of RPGs tend to look a step back from other games released around the same. Avowed currently looks serviceable. but there is still a good amount of time before it release. So, Avowed’s visuals may improve with time.
I think the Last of Us has always been Grimdark. The Last of Us doesn’t have protagonist who are clearly heroes like many other series. Ellie at the end of the Last of Us part 2, lonely and unable to enjoy a hobby taught to her by Joel. Meanwhile, Abby was outcasted, and her friends have all perished. The franchise isn’t written around happiness and pleasant living.
