CORE - Core Gaming for Core Gamers
CORE 426: Game? Pass.
CORE 426: Game? Pass.
So the inevitable happened. MS is raising the price of GamePass across the board, and introducing a lower tier that kinda sucks. We have all kinds of thoughts on it, and one us even dumped it. Also, are transformers skins enough to get Jon back into Overwatch 2? Probably not. Ayaneo retro console looks pretty cool (it's more a mini PC but still seems great for emu). Nintendo takes public stance to not use generative AI. CCP will making Eve Online open-source in order to ensure the MMO can live on forever. Darktide overhauling weapon progression, adding mastery xp and making it more progression focused rather than RNG. All that and your feedback.
