For how much was it selling in black Friday in US and Australia? Here in Portugal was for 300eur with 3months game pass. I got mine back in march for 240eur brand new on a big retailer promotion wit 3 months game pass ultimate for 1eur.
MhRise Review would be Awesome
But Kotaku said that the battlepass is perfectly fine and I should (if an average gamer) have all the levels a month before the end of the season…
Cyberpunk expansion. Really. They need to get the original game right. It looks poor on next gen. Hopefully the feb next gen update may help but we shall see.
MMOs. Awfulness.
Only game I'm looking forward to is gow:ragnarok. All these games out now or releasing soon is just boring to me. I'll just keep playing valhalla til then.
Sorry, my Star Wars nerd has come out in me (Think the hulk, but about Star Wars Trivia and info) :
SWTOR isn't in the High Republic era…. Star wars The Old Republic is set during The Old Republic Era ( Confusing I know :p) the time for that is 25,000 BBY (Before the Battle of Yevin AKA Star wars Episode 4; a New hope) The High Republic era is quite new (in IRL terms) set 300-82 BBY, currently Only some Books, and Comics have been set in this era. THe Upcoming Disney+ show "The Acolyte" is said to be set during the last years of the High Republic. It would be cool seeing a game set during an era I don't have that much knowledge on.
Regarding Marvel Avengers – First off, f*** platform exclusives. Second, I recently installed it again and to see if it had improved and to test out the two new characters and campaigns… and it performed -worse-. Also, the interface is so bad (it's really really bad – oh, and still broken), I wasn't able to play any of the missions it kept flashing on screen. I never did. So, it was uninstalled again. What a shame.
Oh look these shills are praising Cyberpunk again. What did CDPR cut you guys another check?
Man I hate Cyberpunk so much. The developers are a bunch of liars.
Despite any flaws – Cyberpunk 2077 was one of my favorite gaming experiences of the past decade. I really enjoyed it. I hope to enjoy it even more in about a year when it's been further polished and has new content. That typed, I don't believe it's possible to change the main issues I had with the game, which includes core design decisions.
Cyberpunk is a fundamentally flawed game, and that won’t change regardless of performance improvements. But it’s also a damn good game that I’ve played multiple times and just bought on the PC via the Steam sale. There are moments in CP2077 that will stay with me far longer than most other full games released over the past year.
FFXIV review, when?
😂
If halo's battlepass gave you a specific blue color and let you use it for every armor, that means they couldn't put the same color multiple times, there's only so many colors available after all. It's either a failed monetization strategy or a lack of imagination on what rewards to give people so they just create a system that's more segmented to feel more whole
Thanos line…nice Ralph!!!
Lol…im still not buying Cod or Battlefield 🤣
Swtor is not in the high republic. Thr high republic happens a few hunded years before the prequels. While swtor takes place thousands of years before.
Insanely twisted Shadow planet was a good game
The companies taking a stand against Blizzard are just a way to weaken or remove competition… l think its cute that people think that these other game companies care.
Hey skill up are you gonna review final fantasy 14?
Regarding Ubisoft support – Over the past decade, I consistently reported problems. Not only were none, as in ZERO, solved – The "support" I finally received (it once took over two weeks to receive a response) was at times filled with disdain. Again, to date, I've yet to receive any actual support from Ubisoft. None. To my knowledge, all the issues I've reported still exist. Some of the issues are shared across an entire series of games. Almost all of the issues I've experienced are well documented and shared by many others.
hey hey hey what's with bagging insanely twisted shadow planet, that game is great
A comment
The whole "6 years of development" thing is kinda… really misleading. Most of that development time likely went into making a brand new engine for Halo, and then literally remaking Halo's gameplay loop for this new engine.
Also I haven't ran into a single Cheater, despite being a PC player, in over 70 hours. People are overhyping the issue.
6 years to make Halo? We should have 5-10 more maps
As someone who has actually played and finished Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, I shall let you know it's a good albeit very short Metroidvania. That's all you need to know about it.
Wait, how is SW:TOR set in the High Republic? It literally is in the name, The Old Republic.
Oh boy! A new Skill Up video in which he will definitely share the status of his impending Endwalker review!
Dear Marvel, please stop.
The Analogue Pocket is gonna be scalped for like $1000.
I wish I had put a preorder in.
Thank you for revisiting Halo infinite and actually covering the BAD side of it.
I was sorta disappointed last week when i felt you ignored it to be on the hype train for infinite, instead of (like with other games) actively informing people of the issues with the game.
I feel that its rectified now. Appreciate the coverage !
just FYI mate, High Republic is not the same time period as Old Republic. Very different setting. This will actually be the first ever High Republic game.
They skipped Xi for the new covid variant because they're afraid of China. Time to go all in and call it the Xi Xing Pi variant.
SkillUp! I love this weekly show. It's my favourite part of the week and I'm always looking forward to it. Your cricket segment had me rolling. Have a great day!
I wish Halo wasn't F2P and not because I want to gate keep I'm glad everyone can play Halo but I hate F2P games because of the grind that's why I never play them. Honestly I'm so desperate that I'd be willing to pay like 10$ subscription fee to earn progression at a regular pace
It's been a while since EA killed a big studio I'm sure Bioware is next and maybe DICE after that. I can see BF going the same way as Medal of Honor but maybe since it's EA's only successful FPS it'll stick around
was assassins creed valhalla not good? was thinking of getting it
Oh Skillup, you sweet summer child. The High Republic isn´t the Old Republic.
The Old Republic is old pre Disney Star Wars, The High Republic is Disneys replacement straight out of Kathleen Kennedys garbage chamber of franchise suicide.
Halo Backlash
I just copied this from the title not even 4 seconds in, oh HOOO we are for a ride today.
High Republic era isnt the Old Republic era, thats why its called the High Republic era and not the Old Republic era
bro that dragon figting game seems pretty interesting ngl. I used to think about that concept in the past, and it seems that they made it!
Chorus is reminding me about Galaxy On Fire.
I might be interested.
13 sentinels is an amazing game
The release section for this week was an extreme amount of edging that I didn't consent to
Another great vid by the SkillMaster! I really wish his name could be Phillip. Phillip Skillup, eh? He'll always be my Phil Skill….
I can't believe they deleted Duelyst to make Godfall.
I am furious.
