    Machine Games did a solid job with the Wolfenstein series.
    After locking horns with them on their forums over this:
    Wolfenstein II: The New ColossusMein lebenThe Mein leben achievement in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus worth 741 pointsBeat the game on "Mein leben" difficulty

    I have little faith in them.
    Why? It's not like it's unobtainable, are they not allowed to have a difficult achievement? Also it's very doable by putting in the effort for it and with so many strategies that people have come up with over the years you can get through the most difficult parts all pretty safely without needing an insane amount of skill or luck.
    People don't like the feeling of actually putting in some effort apparently.
    Trying it day one it was unforgiving and a time sink etc. Unrealistic. I remember starting on a work night then seeing I couldn't save or anything. Lame.
    Now with quick resume etc it can be easier,just the expectation with quite a bit of randomness is wild. I'm sure the were not expecting people to skip half the game. Especially legitimately playing.

    2021 was great, that's why i blindly subbed for 3 years. 2023 wasn't much better than 2022 quality-wise.
    Will you love me when there's nothing left to love?

    Keen on Avowed and Indy. I really enjoyed Flight Sim, but I'm not doing the same grind again. If its totally different achievements (and they actually work) then I'll likely go for that as well.

    Curious how Indy will turn out.
    It's a worry this site sides with those who play the victim and pretend they're oppressed. Do better TA

    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 releasing in 2024? Seems suspicious...
    I'm mostly surprised it didn't release in 2023 to be honest

    They should make an article about when Ms announced some of these games. I feel like fable and perfect dark had announced trailers like 5 years ago at least
    I don't expect Fable before 2026. The slow development of Unreal Engine 5 is making these games delayed by many years. They're probably waiting for new engine versions to be able to realize their vision. If they have one at all, beside "let's make a new Fable". They started to expand the team only after announcing the game. It's probably yet another poorly managed Microsoft project.

    Perfect Dark may not even materialize until much later. Crystal Dynamics have no experience with FPS games and not sure what their vision is. The Initiative failed to create anything so much of the team has left. Guess what, yet another poorly managed Microsoft project.

    Also, people expecting anything from State of Decay 3 may be in for a disappointment. It will probably look just like SoD 2 with somewhat expanded world and mechanics. An uninteresting game no one will care about.

    I thought Flight sim was just getting a massive update. It's a full, 1000G title seperate from the current one?
    It’s a new game.

    I don’t see the point in rumoured release dates, because then people get angry when the game is delayed. Although if a game is released on time but unfinished people also get angry. They cannot win.
    tough life of game developers, haha roll

    Exactly! Invariably, it seems, releases are delayed past the leaked or officially announced release date. People get angry as you say. Publishers feel the pressure & rush to market. The games have bugs. People get angrier.

    Looking forward to jumping into both Indy and Avowed.

    Hope they don't disapoint 🤞
