Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

[Longboard Horn 40538]

Epic storyline. I'll definitely get this when it comes out later this year.

It'll be on GamePass, so you will probably be able to play it on PC

They haven't been able to script an Indy movie worth a damn in 30 years; what makes people think the game will be any better--nostalgia?

Because in a game when the story is weak you can still have fun running around bull-whipping Nazis.

Correct. It will also be on steam. Only available to Xbox and PC players

$500  

Ahh my bad, I forget not everybody has PCs. Maybe look into the steam deck?

I thought about that, but not sure. Last I looked they were maybe going to have a refresh. 
 

A gaming desktop would be alright, but damn. I really don’t game a ton, so hate to spend that much for an hour or two here and there. 
 

I’m redoing the living room, this year or next or over the course of both, I think. New tv, furniture. Probably paint and maybe the floors. So maybe I’ll roll it into that.

Just a few weeks ago I built a brand new gaming PC.

All in it was around 1500 I think and it can play any AAA game at 1440p at mostly maxed settings above 60 fps. Most games around 100 FPS.

I say mostly maxed because I'm not trying to run ray tracing usually. Some games I can run ray tracing and with frame generation can still be above 60 fps.

That amount includes a 1440p monitor which I did not have before. The only parts I reused from my old machine were the keyboard and mouse.

If you stay with 1080p you can build a very capable machine under 1000.

I picked up a 1TB Xbox Series X (latest one, probably the last one with a Blu-ray player) for $349 over the holidays. Keep an eye on Slickdeals.net

That first person whip gameplay looks spicy.

I see it's made by the same developer who made those badass Wolfenstein reboots. High hopes.

[BERT 4381]

I hate first person games but i might have to give this one a shot.

Releases in 2 weeks.

Yep, Machine is solid and I’ve heard the gameplay is very much the same. Regarding the story, I’m confident it will be a strongpoint as the emphasis is very much on the broader aspects of being Indy. So exploration, puzzles, narrative should all shine.

Todd is obsessed with the franchise and you can tell he’s spending a lot of time with the team at Machine in order to get it right.

Should have some codes for non-gamepass folks come release so feel free to ping me.
