Did you check the %LOCALAPPDATA%?

Also this happens on steam frequently as well, speaking from experience.

Looking forward to this!

I’m not sure.

A lot of comments are blaming the series s. But I Microsoft specifically said back in 2024 it wasn’t because of platform limitations and they can’t comment on exclusivity deals made by other studio’s. Which makes it seem like it was a timed exclusive.

If they were implying it was an exclusive but were lying, and the issue was the series s that would only make the series s look worse than if they said nothing at all. And the only statement we got from Game Science was at the beginning when they said they wanted to optimize it more. Which doesn’t necessarily contradict Microsofts statement that it was a platform limitation. They could just be bad at optimisation for Xbox.

At the end of the day without PlayStation or Game Science making an actual statement about it we’ll never know.

Looks like it definitely was a timed exclusive.

100% agree. Why I mostly play single player games now.

Right? Aha. Like they were getting bad enough as it was then they pull this. I haven’t played one in about 2 years now.

Judging by his name I’d say an intellectual deficiency.

I’m with this definite human on this one. Indie teams are putting out quality games for a fraction of the price and time. AAA games are stuck in the mindset that looking good = good game. If it isn’t cutting edge it isn’t worth it. That’s on them.

I know. It’s bloody hilarious how ridiculous this is.

And yet our dollars buying power has fallen significantly in this time. Doesn’t look as good for them when you take that into account though.

I’m just hoping we get that achievement revamp they talked about years ago aha

Yeah, I’d love to see some more of this

We need more like them. We should own the things we buy, or they should be much much cheaper.

I feel your disdain for digital and your fight against it should be more focused on the ownership of digital goods instead of just “digital bad” for a variety of reasons. The most important being the environment.

Even in a year that isn’t outrageous for a hobby you enjoy. Some people ride, some hike, some paint, some read, some go to the gym. I’ve got a friend that spends 2 hours a day in the gym somehow, and my wife reads almost 2 hours a night.

8 hours sleep, 8 hours work, 8 hours “free time”. Take away 5 of those hours doing important life things and you’ve still got 3 hours a day to pursue your hobby. Even if you only play an hour a day you could do at least half or more of those games.

We’re going to have to agree to disagree here. I truly believe the fundamental source of the issue was being put on the back burner for 10+ years well constantly changing aspects of the program due to decision makers (E.A) lack of respect for the material and the people making it. That’s what leads to a simple, watered down version from a good series.

You don’t think E.A changing the game direction radically twice (forcing rewrites), laying off employees, moving and removing game directors, undermining the developers in favor of other games, or not providing proper resources or support had anything to do with the writing? Even the creative director John Epler said, “The hardest critique you can get on something creative is the critique you fundamentally agree with but also know exactly why it’s that way.” really alludeds to the fact they knew but had no say regardless.

Sure is aha

Fix!

Gotta keep making more money year after year! Never be happy with what you have!

Doubt it’ll happen with the current state of the States.
