I recently played a few missions on Sniper Elite 4 and liked it more than I thought I would. It's a bit dated looking and doesn't hold my interest long. Hopefully the new one won't look as outdated.

Yes, my honest take;
Graphics - looks okay, but the b/w is a turn-off for me and the framerate tanks at times, animation is stiff.
Looks like a ps3-ps4 game.
Sound - probably the best part, sounds amazing imo.
Gameplay - meh, but there's some gore that looks terrific at times, too bad it's in black and white.
6/10

Yes, I like it. Not sure why folk are complaining about gameplay, it is a Smaurai game. Plus, I'm still unlocking stuff and looking at the journal there must be a couple dozen moves, & abilities to unlock.

Love the B&W and love that is in Japanese with subtitles.

Had no frame rate issues here either, thus far anyway.

I've gotten through the intro and so far, I like the style and gameplay. I have it on Bushido/Normal? I don't need it any harder. I'm here for the story and some combat. I don't do well with these types of games and challenges.

Yeah it’s quite good. It’s like playing a 1970s samurai movie.

Out of that batch, I'll play Sniper Elite and Vampire Survivors (already bought on Steam for $3).
 
I wish the new Arma game was coming to GP. Those games are terrible except for Sniper Elite 5. It might be bad too, but at least it has potential.
 
I don't mind a bit of farming simulator, probably helps half my country is into it.

Playing F1 '21 lately and loving it, the AI feels perfect and career mode is so much fun building up your own team, Lewis Hamilton keeps beating me though their cars are too fast.

I'm in a bit of a lull with games right now and Origins might be something of interest for me. I've been trying slew of games, but nothing is biting for me.

Just his opinion, I checked two pages and hadn't seen this posted yet so I apologize if it already was. Not putting it here to start people complaining either, this guy used to be a part of Xbox and I thought his opinion may be interesting to some.

Interesting….Is the game industry really fragile, like on the brink of collapsing now?

I know there’s more to said interview. Will wait for a tldr or listen to it later 😆

But I’m actually surprised he hasn’t been asked this before, like when he was on podcast unlocked or others.

Seems a bit dramatic.
