Not having city maps from the jump was a mistake. It’s crazy they’ve waited this long and only just announced it.

Blade for wolverine, seems like fair trade lol

I can’t seem to find much info on Dune, does anyone know if it will support mouse/keyboard?

This is such a killer deal. I almost wish I didn't have one so I could take advantage!

This sucks. I haven’t had to pay for game pass in a long while because of the rewards, sooner or later this isn’t going be worth it.

I was planning on getting this game as I enjoyed the first and American nightmare a lot, but as it stands with being digital only, I’m not going to get it. I’ll wait for a deep discount in the sub $20 range sometime next year.

I wonder what the sales numbers were for each platform.

How is it they don’t count digital sales for consoles but PC is usually 100% digital sales…?!

This is great. The game will be running even better when I do my second play through someday.

I haven’t stopped playing it yet. Having so much fun exploring everything the game has to offer. It’s clearly not perfect, but it’s absolutely a top 3 game of the year for me.

Oh man, I wish the quality of life updates they talked about were in this update. Guess we gotta wait a little longer.

Does a driving sim have mass appeal?? I was a little interested, mostly because it was coming to gamepas, not because I actually like driving sim games lol

I'd like to see sales numbers for this game some day. I feel most people don't care about a dice rolling, turn based RPG. Well made or not. Clearly loved by critics and a success story, but it doesn't have mass appeal.

This is partly why Nintendo is so successful. Low price points matter. I know SOOOOO many people that got the PS5 and the XSS.
Bet me the play time numbers are more switched. XSX players probably play 65% more than XSS owners.

Tried Skyrim so many times on different gens but couldn’t get into it. The closest I’ve ever gotten into a Bethesda game was fallout 4 and I didn’t actually like it that much, so didn’t put much time into.

I’m close to 100 hours into Starfield and I feel like the game still has so much to offer. I’ll be praying it for a while.

Sooooo my answer is Starfield.

Is IGN trying to take a peace of digital foundry’s pie??

I work in the TV/Film industry, so since the strike started I probably average close to 30 hours a week. Sorta depends. I still do freelance work here and there so on a busy week I’d maybe get 15 and on a not as busy week, 20. Just depends. Most weeks I’m not working and I’ll dump 30 hours into games easily.

I’ve had the game crash a few time when using fast travel in new Atlantis and one or two loading screens that took a little longer than normal when jumping from a big city to a big city. Apart from that, everything else has been perfectly smooth and I’ve had the game on quick resume since early access started!

Microsoft should make a Starfield edition bundle for the holiday season. The new “wrap”, Starfield edition controller and a copy of the game. Seems like a no brainer, but at this point in the year it’s probably too late for manufacturing if they haven’t started already.

Hahaha looks like tons of people that don’t have an Xbox or a PC that’s up to snuff are all trying to play on the cloud and it’s overwhelmed. No surprise there! Lol

Maybe this will sell more series consoles?

Great! Now we have a usable map for the game

@all3forever does it say anything about the watch connecting to the game and relaying information?

Why can’t studios just do 9-5 working hours? They all seem to do crunch and it’s so physically and mentally unhealthy and unstable. I don’t get it, don’t burn out your people by giving them impossible deadlines.

As good as it looks, I’ll be skipping this one. No physical release, no purchase from me.

I spent so much time trying to get this figured out because I thought it was my set up back when I got the XSX. I have an LG C1 and the Sonos Beam gen 2/rear ones/sub mini. Pass through is all, eARC, the whole shabang! Only thing that gets the sync lag to go away is turning off atmos.

FYI - Lag happens with Dolby digital as well.

They made it seem like the watch was going to have some kinda game connectivity, I wish they’d talk about it more.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner for sure! Lol but it also seemed like they indicated the watch would do something with game connectivity.

I wish they would share more details on what that watch can do in the collector's edition.

I have to admit, I feel like the Series S wasn’t a misstep…because it’s a commercial success, but it feels like Microsoft should have made a SX digital, maybe something aiming for 1440p/60FPS output so the the GPU could be a slightly smaller cheaper vision. And I know, that’s what the SS is…but it seems like devs mostly hate and some say it out loud and others don’t.

Now I have a Series X at home on my nice TV/sound system and I have a Series S at my partners house. I actually don’t mine playing on it and they only have a 1080p TV anyways. I feel like it’s a high value machine for the price point.

But I do have a question, what’s the PC equivalent GPU to the SS GPU?
Cause done devs target low end PC GPUs anyways? I’m struggling to understand what the difference is. Considering the CPU in the SX and SS are the same…shouldn’t it only be a difference in resolution and fidelity?

That was a lot, thanks to anyone that takes the time to answer my question 🤓

Oooooh this is awesome!

I still haven't gotten the update and tried joining the insider yesterday...still nothing

Translation: phantom library is mostly done and we’re laying off people we don’t need anymore.

This has not hit my Xbox yet and I don’t think it will for maybe a week or more which is a bummer.

Still playing Zelda and Jedi survivor with break of HiFi Rush in between

Question…my Series X can’t play all my 360 games (I’ve tried many) do all 360 games work in the Xbox one or just select games (sorta like the XSX)?

I get it now. You get normal Live services and all these games are a gateway drug for GP Ultimate.

@RIghteousNixon I hear ya! Still waiting on RE4 Remake to go on sale or find someone whos selling it cheap on OfferUp or something. I seldom will buy a game on release these days. Starfield will be one of them.

@VisitingComet1 I was back and forth for a bit, but I think I'm gonna be playing this game for a long time and will pause my game pass subscription for a time anyways. My partner is going to a wedding that I opted out of and now I have nothing to do labor day weekend, might as well get the game early! lol

Is anyone tempted by the early access thing? I think it lets you play the game on September 1st.

Wow, this super confusing

Oh, rad! I passed on GTAV last time it was on sale, (thinking I should wait to play it when I have time) and I'm glad I did! Now I just need to find some time lol

I feel this gen could go for more than 8 years. Like if we got a 5 year “mid gen upgrade” and the ninth gen systems go for 10 years before the tenth generation hardware comes out.

Shouldn’t the skull and bones devs like….I donno FINISH skull and bones before they start working on something else?

Is there still no word on what frame rate PC users can expect?

Ok if the Series S was the only option as a new console back in 2020, Microsoft would have lost HUDE market share. I for one would not have picked it up and gotten a PS5 off the bat instead of picking it up a few years later.

I could be wrong on this, but I recall analysts saying the GPU on the XSS was less powerful than the 1X but the XSS has a much more powerful CPU...
That mentality of the XSS is the main and the XSX is the mid gen upgrade is crazy. Feels like they're just saying BS for no reason.

Remember how we were promised games at 4k/60 with this generation? I’m ok with game running at 4k/30 but I can’t help but wonder why they thought that was going to be a standard.

I'm always 100% fine with 4k/30! Game play looked amazing, so I'm cool with it.

It was...fine. Nothing all that exciting and it really made me miss E3.

Nearly finished with Jedi Survivor but started playing Tears of the Kingdom so it’s all over now 🫠

I finished this game last week and it was pretty unsatisfying. Not to mention super frustrating that the achievements were broken and about half didn’t unlock.

I wish they would do this for FC4...one of the handful of games I've 100%ed.

I don’t know how delay could make this title more appealing. The game play looks so dull.
