D4 is the game that I've been looking forward to since 2012. It came out perfect on day 1 and runs better than expected. Blows me away that these pathetic "AAA" studios can't release a game on day one that runs as smooth and perfect as D4. Goes to show the results of taking your time and perfecting something instead of rushing garbage out the door because some losers just can't wait a little longer. Thanks to Blizzard for delivering another masterpiece. Can't wait to play this game for another 10 years.
Damn, I was looking forward to playing this day 1. Looks like it will have to wait until we get the 60 fps patch that should be standard these days. I didn't buy a current gen console to play games at 30 fps.
I've been a Diablo fan since D2. Still playing D3 11 years after it was released. I've never pre ordered a game but this game is the exception and I couldn't be more excited. I've heard about people taking a day off work for video games and always laughed at that, but, I have many vacation days that are just begging to be used for this game. Biggest release for me since D3.
I love the hell out of Dead Cells and can't wait for the Castlevania DLC. Hopefully the new edition of The Outer Worlds is 60 FPS along with all of those other improvements as well.
@WrestleVessel There's so much on Gamepass that I'd recommend you just install what looks good. Can't really go wrong. But definitely Forza Horizon 5 since it sounds like you're looking forward to Motorsport as much as I am. In the meantime, check out Assetto Corsa as it's pretty cheap and you can get it for peanuts when it goes on sale. It'll scratch that proper motorsport itch, as the Horizon series is an arcade racer.
The console itself is fantastic for the money. The lack of storage is what frustrates me the most. I have a 4TB external so moving stuff around takes significantly less time, but, it’s still a pain in the ass. I’m considering selling my Series S and shelling out for a Series X just for that little bit of extra storage. At least then I can stomach buying the half TB Seagate drive. With the Series S it doesn’t seem like that would be a smart investment.
Perfect. My character speaking almost ruined Fallout 4 for me. Still one of my all time favourite games but I play it with mods to mute my character and to show the full lines of dialogue. I’m extremely happy with this choice for Starfield.
High Isle is pre ordered, I'll be playing Sonic Origins on Switch and I'm SUPER pumped for Shadowrun on Gamepass. Great month ahead! Also, as long as AC: Origins gets a 60 FPS upgrade I think I'll be getting back in to that as well.
Beat the campaign with two different characters and really enjoyed it. Never tried the end game but I'm going to get back in to it this weekend. Haven't played since New Horizon dropped.
Might as well just forget it and focus on a 60 FPS mode for Cyberpunk on the Series S. Any game without in this day and age just tells me that the developer couldn't be bothered. Horizon 5, Halo Infinite, AC: Valhalla, pretty much every "triple a" title has a 60 fps mode for the Series S. Come on.
The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk is one I’ve wanted to play for ages but just never pulled the trigger. Crusader Kings as well. Looking like a good month for GP!
Was close to pre ordering this game as I LOVED the first one. Safe to say I won't touch it until they at least get it running at 60 fps on the Series S. Unacceptable for a current gen game from a developer of this calibre.
Tie between Diablo and Warcraft. I’ve been playing WoW since vanilla on and off but I’ve sunk so many hundreds of hours into D2 and D3 it’s unbelievable.
Loved the minor role the dog played in this video. But seriously, this brought back some memories. Max Payne was a revolution for me and I had forgotten how amazing this game was at the time. Thanks for the nostalgia
Not even slightly interested. I’ll stick with the Old Republic games and books, regardless of the fact that Disney retconned everything. It’s still canon to me. Besides the Mandalorian, new Star Wars is garbage.
@UltimateOtaku91 I'm cautiously optimistic about Chorus after getting so pumped for The Ascent. I started keeping an eye on both games at the same time and was pretty let down by The Ascent. I know neither game has anything to do with one another but now it's stuck in my head because I found them both at the same time. Fingers crossed.
"There's some pretty interesting information in the interview, such as why there won't be an emote dedicated to allowing your Spartan to start flossing in multiplayer, and how they feel the fanbase would reject it."
As I knew that this game would be my go-to for a very long time, buying the bundle was a no brainer for me. I couldn't be more impressed minus the annoying voiceovers. I really like what they've done with the collections screen and the fact that you get a reward for acquiring every model from a manufacturer. Porsche collection is already off to a great start!
This doesn't bother me as long as they get it right. I finished the main story in Cyberpunk 2077 on my Series S shortly after it came out but I will definitely be starting a new character once the current gen upgrade is released. Haven't played The Witcher in ages so I'm looking forward to that as well.
@JON22 yeah, I feel like I’m constantly uninstalling, installing, or moving games to and from the SSD in the Series S. Hope the price of the Seagate expansion card goes down soon.
@JON22 That's rough. I've had the odd crash here and there but I have a lot of hours in to it and can't say I've ever experienced stuttering on my Series S. Try a fresh install instead of moving between hard drives, could help.
@Balta666 is this going to work? If so, I'm super excited because casting to a Chromecast from the F1TV app is pretty temperamental and Airplay is just useless.
I played GTA 2 before I played 1 and London 1969 but always found myself going back to London. Those games were a blast and I think that people who are fans of the GTA series are really missing out if they haven't played them. They're are a huge part of early gaming for me and I'd love to play them again on console. That said, I'm still more excited for the alleged GTA 3, VC and SA remasters than I would be for the original games.

Re: Xbox Fans Call On Bethesda To Delay Redfall Until 60FPS Is Ready
Doesn't matter to me whether they delay the game or patch it eventually. I won't touch it until it's 60 fps.

Re: Multiple Games Reduced By 90-95% On Xbox This Week (June 28 - July 5)
@Banjo- I was young when it came out and a HUGE Duke fan so I enjoyed it. I can't imagine it's aged well, though.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 4-5)
Diablo Immortal on iPhone, AC: Origins and ESO on Series S, and Dragon Quest XI, FF7 on Switch. Diablo is surprisingly good!
Re: These Six Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (June 1-7)
Bought Chorus a while ago. Gameplay is a blast but the story is serviceable at best. The sentient ship is the standout star of the game.

Re: Ten Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (December 16)

Definitely checking out The Gunk and Record of Lodoss War which I've never heard of but looks interesting.

Re: The Ascent Boasts 'Serious Advantages' On Xbox Series X And Series S, Says Analysis
@BBB I agree with the aiming being too sensitive. I think when I play again tomorrow I'm going to set the aim assist to high and see if that helps.
