    Gears of War: E-Day Is PEAK?! 🔥 Silent Hill Townfall Is TERRIFYING 😱 Cloud Gaming COOKED?! ☁️

    On this week’s episode of “Good Playing With You,” we’re talking Gears of War: E-Day, and the reviews are looking strong. We break down the critical response, the return to the darker tone of the original games, and some of the classic Gears features that are surprisingly missing. Then, Matt has been playing Silent Hill Townfall, and despite some of the criticism surrounding its stealth sections, he’s having a blast. We talk about the atmosphere, terrifying monsters, puzzles, combat, and whether Townfall actually feels like a true Silent Hill game. And then there’s Xbox Cloud Gaming. Microsoft is putting limits on streaming time, dropping support for certain devices, and reportedly looking at bringing advertisements to the service. Is cloud gaming finally starting to lose its appeal? Plus, we discuss what Xbox needs to do to stand out, AI in game development, and where Microsoft goes from here. 00:00 - Intro 00:59 - Silent Hill Townfall Hands-On 09:54 - Moonlighter 2 13:12 - Gears of War E-Day Review Roundup 20:48 - Gears of War: E-Day Missing Classic Features 26:00 - Is Xbox Cloud Gaming Cooked? 37:11 - How Long Should Current Gen Last? 40:29 - PS5 is Getting AI Upscaling (QSSR)

    Control Resonant FLAWED? 👀 Halo’s HUGE Shakeup 🤯 Silent Hill: Townfall REACTIONS🔥

    On this week’s episode of "Good Playing With You," we’re talking Control Resonant reviews, Activision taking over Halo, Silent Hill: Townfall, Bungie bringing back vaulted Destiny content, and the games we’ve been playing. First up, Control Resonant is finally here, but are the reviews enough to convince us to jump in? We break down the critical response, Remedy’s decision to move toward melee-focused combat, and why the sequel might not have the same appeal as the original Control. Then, Activision is taking over Halo. Microsoft is shifting development of the next mainline Halo game to a new team within Activision, while Halo Studios takes on more of a support role. Is this the shakeup Halo needs? We also dive into Silent Hill: Townfall, the second new Silent Hill game in just one year. We discuss the strong reviews, the psychological horror and atmosphere, and whether the controversial stealth sections could hold the game back. And Bungie is making a major reversal with Destiny. Vaulted Destiny 2 content is coming back, with Bungie saying Destiny is foundational to its future. But is bringing old content back enough, or is it finally time for Destiny 3? Plus, we talk about games we've been playing: Blood of Dawnwalker and Pokopia.
