New Xbox Feature Could Save Players Loads Of Time (kotaku.com)

Modern games get patched all the time, and there are few things more low-key annoying than sitting down to dig into a meaty RPG or hop into a quick deathmatch only to see you’ve got to download an 8GB update. You start scrolling TikTok or dropping memes in the group chat and by the time you realize the game’s finally ready,...

I think it’s for games that have some scheduled updates, like, new season launching 20th May, so instead of waiting for 20th May to get the update, you will download it on 18th or so, but the changes won’t apply until 20th. Basically, like how you can pre-download a game before launch, same thing, but for updates.

At least that’s what I understand from this.

Heh, I guess that’s one way to get headline.

Well, I think “white male” in video games is kind of a “default persona”. So, when we see white male do something, we just consider it a generic game character, but any change from “while male”, and we pick it right away and start thinking if it’s correct representation or not.

Just my spur-of-the-moment thoughts on your post. 😀

Well, I think they have become too bloated, but if you like them, there’s nothing wrong with playing and enjoying them.

Though it’s funny to see them references as “Witcher 3 lite” 😀

If I am not mistaking it for some other game, it made a splash when announced because it has many famous actors, but it didn’t review well.

Heh, that’s a valid point. I just can’t get myself excited for something that I won’t be able to play for years.

It’s possible they aren’t going for a huge game, a good 10 hour or so game would be pretty neat, IMO.

Wow, 2 years might be short but 10 year is way too long. Hope they finally get the game one day.

I keep waiting for them to port Trails in the Sky games. I have played the first one, and loved it, but don’t feel like playing on PC anymore, so keep postponing playing SC, waiting for some news on port, since they are pretty much the only games that aren’t on modern consoles.

Yeah, I consider them my favourite series too, specially after playing the third one.

Yeah, if it was on console, I would’ve jumped in right away too, but I was having trouble finishing it on PC, so took a break. But then then announced Trails to Azure and from Zero ports, so I just started waiting for any Sky trilogy news. Though, I am losing hope in that, and may end up just playing it on Steam… or maybe even the PSP version.

As for a remaster, I would love it, but at this time, I would even take a straight port.

sigh

I guess I should just bite the bullet and get the game on Steam. Rest are available on Switch and PS, so it wouldn’t be much of an issue to play through them.

Thanks for the heads up.

Oooh, didn’t know about that! Thanks for the info. Going to save your comment so that I remember it when I get around to it.

Currently playing two big games, Octopath Traveler and Kingdom Come: Deliverance, so it’s going to be a while before I get around to it.
