I'm playing on Series X and the only issue I see is when I'm in the lobby and the Operators are walking around it hiccups a bit. During matches it's been super smooth for me, which is what really matters.
@NEStalgia Go for it! I have only played the original Modern Warfare and original Black Ops game more than a decade ago. I am so into BO6. Very good game to get into, ESPECIALLY if you have Game Pass. This one's a no brainer!
I'm one of them! I went in thinking I'd just play the campaigns and bounce, but I tried out MP and I'm loving it! Not very good as I'm only lvl 15 after 18 matches, but it's keeping me wanting to come back. Even if it's in small bursts.
@Wisegamer I haven't played COD in over 12 years and I don't really play shooters anymore...but...I'm having a blast in this MP. I'm terrible, yes, but it's still so fun and fluid. Feels like the good old days of Modern Warfare and the first Black Ops.
@Mogzino I like their Xbox podcast Unlocked as well as the Playstation and Nintendo ones Beyond and Nintendo Voice Chat repectively, and they have a lot of posts per day.
@PsBoxSwitchOwner I've seen other reviews for the campaign before the MP. Just curious why it's absent, without even a review in progress post by them. Still seems odd to me. This is one of the biggest launches each and every year, regardless if one likes it or not.
Slowly working through BO6 campaign. May try Zombies or MP just to check them out. I've finished the first 2 campaign missions so far. Also working through the FF Pixel Remasters. I've 100% FFI and FFIV, working through FFVI now.
I haven't played a campaign of COD since the original Black Ops, but I think I'll give this one a go, especially with it being on GamePass. Not too interested in MP, but I may give Zombies a crack as well.
@DoctorJohnDisco Agreed. I had fully expected the previous Black Ops games to release on Game Pass before BO6. I'm half in, because I only finished BO1 when it released and have no idea what the plot is now, but I want to give this campaign a go. I may just check it out really quick and wait for the others to play them in order.
I have all the games through Games With Gold. I really need to get around to them. I almost finished Origins at launch, but must've gotten distracted back in the day. Maybe after then I'll give this one a go. It'll probably be on EA'S subscription service in a year too.
@Fiendish-Beaver I want to try it, but Persona 5 was not for me. I did not like the content or the social aspect of it. I dont mind long games, but I dont like unnecessary bloat.
I'm looking forward to trying Sifu. I'll probably try the BO6 campaign as well, but I really wish they added the others first. I played BO1 back in the day, but not the others.
@DJKingaling i played Gaiden before IW dropped to see that perspective. I'm on the last chapter of Yakuza Kiwami and I'm thinking of starting Yakuza 0 next.
@DJKingaling the newer, turn-based games are amazing. I've gone back to play Yakuza Kiwami and it's pretty good. I prefer the turn-based, but the story is great either way.
Not sure what I get, but when downloading games I've seen as low as under 100mb and as high 500+mb. It can fluctuate wildly, but I do download things pretty quickly with a wired connection.
@PsBoxSwitchOwner It's definitely an "unto each their own" type of thing. I wake up pretty early anyways and usually have it done before I even start work. It's the days where the 15min delay is in that drags it out. I get the play a game at night and I use TrueAchievements to find a quick game that I can get at least one Game Pass game achievement per day. I usually knock that one out via cloud streaming on my lunch break.
@StylesT It can still be worth it for the rewards. It still pays for a month of Game Pass Ultimate and then some. I can generally knock all the searches out and get most of the available points by lunch or sooner just by chipping away at it.
I'll sometimes go several weeks with just the 5sec wait, but then there will be a day, sometimes two, where I have the 15 min delay again. Today is one of those days. (USA)
I really want a dedicated handheld xbox that runs native. I may skip the initial next gen upgrade for that and hold onto my Series X a little longer. I'm not getting any younger so I've been thinking more and more what my exit strategy from gaming may be in the next 10-20 yrs. I'm solely on xbox these days so I just need whatever will play my current library of digital games and I'd be set for "retirement".
@Lup pretty good. I still prefer the turn-based. I'm about halfway through it. I've been doing a lot of the Majima Everywhere stuff and some sub stories. Playing on easy to keep it all moving nicely.

@AndroidBango oh man, that's unfortunate.
Re: Xbox's Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 To Get Official PS5 Pro Support This Week
BO6 runs excellent on Series X and is a part of GamePass. Can't really beat that.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner Good point. IGN and PureXbox are my primary gaming news channels.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 So Far?
I'm kinda curious why no review on PushSquare. Bitter melons?
Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 So Far?
2 missions done on the campaign and I'm excited about it. Need to try MP and Zombies at some point.

Re: Black Ops 6 Campaign Review (Xbox) - Supernatural Surprises Elevate This Year's Call Of Duty
@Scrubchub ditto! Release the back catalog! I want to play the campaigns I missed over the last decade+.
Re: Black Ops 6 Campaign Review (Xbox) - Supernatural Surprises Elevate This Year's Call Of Duty
Just played the first mission over lunch (love working from home) and it's off to a great start!
Re: Black Ops 6 Campaign Review (Xbox) - Supernatural Surprises Elevate This Year's Call Of Duty
@Lup the original Modern Warfare trilogy is top notch! I haven't played the newer ones.
Re: Black Ops 6 Campaign Review (Xbox) - Supernatural Surprises Elevate This Year's Call Of Duty
@CallMeDuraSouka I'm holding off until the others are released in GamePass. I'll do the same for Cold War, but BO6 sounds too good to wait on.

Yakuza 0 and FF IV for me this weekend.

Re: Xbox Game Pass's Newest Addition Is Perfect For Achievement Hunters
@Bigmanfan Not as great as they used to be. It is still easy to get Game Pass Ultimate for free each month, though.
Re: Xbox Game Pass's Newest Addition Is Perfect For Achievement Hunters
@Bigmanfan It helps when you're looking for a quick Game Pass achievement for rewards purposes.
Re: Roundup: Metaphor: ReFantazio Is An Xbox GOTY Candidate As Early Reviews Roll In

Yakuza Kiwami and the Pixel Remasters. Starting at the beginning again with FF I (Warrior, Thief, W. Mage, B. Mage).

Re: Metaphor: ReFantazio Adds Generous Free 'Prologue' Demo On Xbox Series X|S
Tomorrow is the TGS after all, lol. On Ch.9 of Yakuza Kiwami. I think I'll play Yakuza 0 before Kiwami 2.
Re: Metaphor: ReFantazio Adds Generous Free 'Prologue' Demo On Xbox Series X|S
@Lup Thanks for confirming. I must've thought it was confirmed from one of the Directs. My bad. One more I can remove. Back to Yakuza series, hahaha!
Re: Metaphor: ReFantazio Adds Generous Free 'Prologue' Demo On Xbox Series X|S
I want to give this one a try, but I did not like Persona 5 at all, so I'm skeptical. At least I can give it a shot via Game Pass.
Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite 'Like A Dragon' Game On Xbox?
Infinite Wealth by far. It's criminal how that game is not in GOTY conversations right now.
Re: Xbox At Tokyo Game Show 2024: Date, Start Times, And What To Expect
FF Pixel Remaster and a surprise FF Tactics: War of the Lions port and I'd be beyond happy.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 21-22)

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 21-22)
Yakuza Kiwami for me. Finally trying to get around to the non-Ichiban games.
