Subjective take. I loved Astro Bot and haven't played HD2, but those points you write so dismissively, millions of others enjoyed.
Many, many, many more millions compared to Astro Bot, a platformer whose charm piggybacks off the success and nostalgia of decades worth of PS history.
And it irritates me that it feels Hulst used Astro Bot as another way to artificially inflate the importance and relevance of Horizon. That God of War themed stage should&#...

I miss the PS3 UI where you had themes that updated the whole system. The Uncharted xmb icons were dope.
If Switch 2 sells near Switch 1, they'd surely make like a billion off selling those
Which ended up launching with more glitches actually - Cyber punk or the ugly truck?
Knowing the creature Elon's chosen to become, and how in he is with Trump, this Grok co-developed title would require an X login and your character gender would be tied that profile, which would be validated against your real-world ID (to fight the bots, totally)
A Premium X account would get you Early Access and this is what DOGE will do with the money they'll "save" by gutting hundreds of thousands to millions of jobs.
This move has Chinese government written all over it.
They're just salty that a game that has everything they want:
- Single Player Only
- Solid Combat
- No Open World Bloat
- Excellent optimization especially on PC (almost unheard of today)
- with no forced EA login
- and no MTX
Also has:
- Player customization options they don't have to choose?
- The color purple?
- characters with upbeat dialogue?
- a different tone t...
Have those back buttons and I'm sold on this. All four, only having two is a waste of an effort.
Nah, we're good without Shimmerpunk 2077.
I love this ever-evolving narrative. Xbox is dead, yet we're also concerned about Game Pass negatively impacting COD, of all greedy franchises.
Obscure sure does have his obsessors on this site
If I remember right, HFW had like patch 8 or 10 before they fixed the 60fps mode from the original flickery mess to their current solution, which is so great they built on that for PS5 Pro instead of PSSR.
PSSR will naturally get better too. Sony's hearing the feedback like AMD did with FSR. It is a shame though that some games take away those base PS5 modes - let PSSR enhancements be in addition to, not replacements
When even Bethesda can introduce a performance mode in Starfield, there's little excuse.
Not a good first impression then, dang.
Do the controls feel off because of bad performance, or is that at least tolerable?
How are you feeling about it your first hours in?
"in order to facilitate extra funding for other projects"
You don't believe that still. Right?
They've said they're in their most profitable generation already. Not sure how you're gonna build those extra projects when you layoff employees and close studios despite shattering your own records...
The patch notes have not yet been put out, you don't know what it addresses, but based on size alone, pretty much everything in some way
The last year of comments from Spencer make it seem Xbox's last interest is making more hardware locked to a single ecosystem.
A UE5 open-world title doesn't come light
