Dante vs Bayonetta? The world is not ready for that kind of awesomeness in one game

This. For Sony PlayStation is a massive product. For Microsoft Xbox is a platform with a big potential. Makes perfect sense when you see stuff like GamePass and xCloud, as well as putting all their first party exclusives on PC. Especially with how tightly integrated the services are (example - iirc when Xbox makes cloud backups for your data, it goes to MSā€™ OneDrive)

With the amount of time i invested on CTRNF, i am surprised i have never got hatemail :confused:

Oh course there is never a ā€œneedā€ to release a new console. However, now is a good time. You donā€™t have to be Digital Foundry to see that the base Xbox One is being left behind like John D. For the last year plus, itā€™s hardware hasnā€™t been able to adequate enough for several multi-platform titles. Consoles essentially set the PC platforms ā€œMinimum Requirementsā€. Itā€™s been nearly seven years, time for the technology floor to shift upward again.

When thereā€™s like a dozen other player in the race all murking each other, kind hard to single out one person and direct it at em imo.

Well, at least i get ragequits and people abandoning the lobbies.
But i wish i had more tangible hate to feed on.

Itā€™s not a surprise since I already really enjoyed the Zero series, but Iā€™m having a good time replaying them in the new collection. The new checkpoint system is a great addition, removes the aggravation of having to reset/reload saves any time you do something that will trash your rank (assuming youā€™re going for EX skills in 2 and 3, which I always do). NG+ has always been a blast in these as well, starting with all the EX skills really makes the gameplay more fun IMO. I kind of wish the charge wasnā€™t a thing in these (or at least there was a no charge mode), as this would force you to play it more like X4-X6 Zero modes, really leaning into the combos and EX moves.

Guess I never really thought of baldurs gate games as turn based. I mean, the fights will keep going if you dont pause it.

Lots of turn based rpgs will keep going even if you dont do anything.

I liked Nioh way more than Sekiro. I found the combat in Nioh to be a lot more fun.

I hate that every fight in Sekiro just boils down to you Staggering/guard breaking the opponent. I thought it got really lame after a while. Your upgrades are boring too, itā€™s either slightly more health or slightly more damage so you have an easier time staggering your opponents and thatā€™s it.

You get some cool sub weapons but most of them suck, are extremely situational, or are used toā€¦help you stagger your opponents.

I just found the combat to be one dimensional. Small enemies, big enemies, mini bosses, actual bosses. Your goal is the same everytime. Stagger/guard break.

Then I probably wouldnt think those are turned based either. To me, turn based is when the game pretty much stops and no actions are taken by anyone but the player. Then the player chooses an action and it goes off and then a bad dude gets to go. No worries though cause you can walk off while the bad guy takes his turn cause nothing will happen after that unless you take your turn.

Ok? I mean good luck convincing anyone Final Fantasy 4-9 arenā€™t turn based shrug

Im not trying to convince anyone. Why I said I think of them in that way.

Ok.

Youā€™re still taking turnsā€¦the game just isnā€™t going to wait for you to take yours if itā€™s their turn and youā€™re still deciding what to do.

Also, dont those games do exactly what I described in the post above your lame post about convincing folk about some shit? the game pretty much stops when it gets to a players turn. Nothing will happen in those games unless the player takes his turn.

Im sure I do consider those turn based.

Edit - Iā€™m beginning to think you guys have never played any BG games. Or youā€™re just being the typical turds you are and youā€™re trying to change turn based into something else so it fits your argument better.
