I really want to play this but not sure i can run it. I love what Bethesda does even with all their problems they are one of my favorite studios.

It is, back in 2021 i got ALL of the DLC for 19.99 on Humble Bundle. About 300$ worth.

My video card is the minimum required card. A 1070. Got my choices down to a few but still undecided. I believe the GPU unit in the XBox 1X is a notch or so below the 1070 I have.

EA Play (Game Pass) members can hop into a 10-hour trial of Madden 24 right now. Just an FYI for those that care.

I wasn’t going to get armored core 6 right away but my love for from software games got the better of me. It’s not a souls like but goodness are the bosses difficult as one. I’ve beat two bosses, second was a major wall. If it keeps getting harder I may not have the skills to beat it. We’ll see.

Anyone playing Baldur's Gate needs to watch this video. Really funny.

I'm trying it now.
So far the writing and voice acting is superb.
Game seems fun, but I'm just starting it.

My first chance to relax and sit down for a minute...
It's nice.

Has anyone played Madden and if there are any changes good or bad in gameplay?

Franchise mode with contracts(RFA and restructuring) will eventually win me over.

Armored Core VI is absolutely incredibe. Really blowing me away. Now Madden on the other hand...I got sucked in again. Same game from 5 years ago lol but take my money CeeDee haha

Not really much of a difference gameplay wise. If you like 23, you will like 24.

If you have 23, try and download some updated rosters and give yourself a challenge. For me, I like playing all madden default sliders with speed parity at 95 and fatigue at 75.

Try and wait for another few weeks, deals should be popping up that include Madden.

Played a few hours so far. Haven't even scratched the surface lol. Tired from work so couldnt go nuts. Minus bugs (very very clean so far) very much a Bethesda game. Lots going on. Lots lol. I would say my initial impression, sans the iconic opening TES5, it surpasses the WOW of when you first start playing Skyrim.

Ill have plenty of time to play tomorrow, so Ill give some more detailed impressions
