Re: Poll: What Is Your Favourite Feature Of The Xbox Series X|S So Far?

For me, the general speed of everything. Even downloads on it are extremely fast compared to my one x. I just downloaded Dark Souls (never played it, and it was in sale), and it was done in five minutes!
I also appreciate how fast the ui is, and the decreased load times in games. I've been playing through the Assassins Creed games (on the 2nd right now), so I haven't been able to see anything built for the system yet. Though I have the new Call of Duty coming today.
I'm also impressed by just how quiet it is! My ps4 could sound like a jet engine at times, and my one x always had an extremely loud disc drive. With the Series X, I can't hear it at all unless I have my head right above it.

Re: Talking Point: What Are Your First Impressions Of The Xbox Series X|S?

Love it so far! It's smaller than I expected it to be, and standing it horizontally gives me much more space on the stand that it and my Switch are on. Setup was extremely easy, and I'm pleased all my saves were loaded immediately. Though right now I'm playing through the Assassins Creed games (almost done with the first), so I can't really be wowed yet by graphics. The load time ARE significantly faster though. Later on I'll try Forza Horizon 4 and see how that looks.
Edit: And I'm also very pleased by how quiet it is!

Re: Talking Point: Have You Been Able To Pre-Order An Xbox Series X|S?

Banedracul

Managed to get mine in the US after fighting the Microsoft store for twenty minutes. And then another ten minutes waiting for the checkout to load. I would have preferred Amazon, but they didn't even have a page up for it until about forty five minutes after 11, and I WAS at work. I can't complain too much though, I wasn't expecting to get a pre-order at all today.

Re: DOOM 3 Was Released On The Original Xbox 15 Years Ago, Do You Remember Playing It?

Banedracul

Doom 3 and Kotor are the main reasons I bought my original x-box. My pc at the time couldn't quite handle it, it worked but the frame rate was about 10. I still really enjoy the game, (though I do agree with the user that said it feels a little too long) but I find myself wishing I could sprint indefinitely. Doom is one of my favorite series, I'm glad all the games are readily available on just about everything these days.
