Mark Rubin leaves Ubisoft, XDefiant officially shuts down in c/pcgaming

It's amazing how much they just copy, copy, copy. Even just some effort to spice it up and add some unique ideas could help.

XDefiant had some decent bones. Not going to claim I loved it by any means, but I had a fun time playing it for a bit when it launched. Then it just did nothing to freshen up the experience so I fell off fast.

Though I've got my eye on Splitgate 2 now, I have a good feeling about that one!

Just started playing Splitgate 2! Didn't really pay too much attention when it got announced, but I saw it was live last night and gave it a try.

As a long time Halo/Arena Shooter fan, this game really scratches a certain itch. The gameplay is crisp, the art direction is fun, and I had a blast. Now I just need to get better at using my portals in game...

Something that stood out to me is that the install (at least on Xbox) was only 17gb! After so many gigantic games, it's nice to have one with a manageable file size.

I'm a busy dude, but I'd love to find the time to put together a Lemmy team! Shoot me that friend code for sure!

Always gotta show my respect for CQB. I should boot up my 360 again someday and see if my old H3 spartan is still there

Recently got a CRT and have been hooking up my old systems to it. Never got a chance to play Dreamcast on one since I bought mine just a couple years ago. Felt like I transcended when I finally did

This Mario 64 one is my particular favorite. I think it's so funny that Metal Mario has a reflection of what looks like open land and clouds. Pairs well with the fact that in-game his texture was some flowers and a cloudy sky.

With an impending reset for Halo, I'm glad we can at least get some more of the Infinite story somewhere! If I remember correctly, Kelly Gat also did The Rubicon Protocol. That book was an amazing companion to Infinite's story.
