Seem to be a lot of xbox issues lately. I redeemed game pass ultimate with reward points and when I tried to confirm the code on my Series S the screen stayed on confirm so I had to do it on my tablet instead through the Microsoft store. Now I'm not earning game pass quest points even though I'm on ultimate. I'm right p155ed off.
Really looking forward to this. Not looking forward to not being able to sleep once it's out as I've got a second cleaning job that I do in the mornings. But meh. **insert 'let's effing go' meme here**
@Martsmall Didn't know about them lol. Are they just click and get points? I get all my exercise from stress, anxiety, cleaning job and walking my dogs and hate exercising.
Since only realising this year I can get free ultimate I've been grinding everyday for points, including on the website through the xbox browser for the extra 5 or 10 point clicks. Not paid for online in three months. Can't wait until I have enough points for three months as I have slightly more points left than the previous month after redeeming free Ultimate.
Just picked up Cyberpunk on Series S. I'll play it when I'm over my gaming slump (can't be bothered really playing anything). More bothered about Microsoft reward points for free ultimate than actually gaming🙃
@Lup It's only this year I've been seriously grinding reward points for free game pass ultimate. I had 19000-ish reward points on the 18th of October, redeemed ultimate and already have over 21000 points before the 18th of this month thanks to streak boost and the fact I was able to complete my mobile search for the 1000 points Welcome to Microsoft Rewards today by downloading the firefox browser (thanks google search) and setting bing as my search engine on it to count towards searches after signing in. On topic, fast load times. Still waiting for the games lol.
Don't know about other platforms but on Series S there's an annoying fuzzy effect in the graphics where black rising lines appear. Can't really describe it but it makes the game look dirty.
Great game but really needs crossplay. I also hate when servers are split by region. Loving the old Doom/Quake vibe. I'd like a 30fps option for that Sega Saturn Quake 1 feeling.
I'm trying to play Hardspace Shipbreaker on Series S but it sometimes crashes when entering the hab to finish your shift. Luckily it autosaves but it's peeing me off so I'll wait to see if they fix it. Praise game pass or I'd be even more pi55ed having spent money on a crashy game.
@Carck If anything it makes me wish I was a nerd so I could develop games. I'd have more fun testing things in a test room than actually playing the game properly.
I'm just messin' (not a console warrior) but it's funny seeing hardcore playstation fanboys beat their chests about exclusive games and telling people to buy a PlayStation if they want to play **another never on xbox third party game** then **sounds like witch** and moan when Xbox gets a short timed exclusive.
To all the people moaning about Starfield, shut up because it's not an established ip. I don't do console wars but a certain section of you really are hypocritical when it comes to exclusivity.
Melee combat or gtfo. Can't have pirates with just ships and cannons without cutlasses and at least a pistol if there's third person on-foot in the game. Might've just made the third person on-foot parts just menu based instead.
Currently flitting between Tunic (amazing game) and Yakuza Kiwami on Game Pass. I bought it for ps2 years ago but after the murder bit I swapped it for something else. Bad habit when I used to buy physical games.
Also doing the odd sea fort on Sea of Thieves as I find them relaxing for some reason.
Wish I got one. I've got one before once last year. Would've saved me the £1 I spent yesterday for 3 months of Game Pass Ultimate😅 Can't complain though because my Gold would've ran out today and I was thinking about waiting until next month to buy gold because I'm literally skint.
Currently staring at a frozen Fallout 4 on my Series S. Part of Xbox but still haven't fixed it. Can't finish it due to all the crashing/freezing in certain areas. No mods just a few creation club things. I'll be mega p1553d if it happens on Starfield.
It really annoys me that they come up with all these different colours for their consoles yet you can't buy them because they stuck on a picture and made it winnable only. I want a Series S the same colour as that blue controller for Xbox One. Multiple colours would make them more appealing to people with little bra -....I mean kids.
I would be hype but on the day to watch it I'd either have to put up with loud music from my neighbours, or my dog will come running into my room leaving a trail of p155 behind him so until then, I'm not anything so I don't jinx it. Being wished a good weekend at work has resulted in one or both those things happening.
At this rate I won't need to buy State of Decay 3 because I'll be decaying in a coffin. It's like Xbox studios place one blade of grass down a day in their games then go home.
If Nightmare Creatures is available to buy on its own then I'm buying it. Randomly popped into my head last week and now I want to play it. Played the demo years ago and I think I played it on a chipped ps1 once. I miss ps1/Saturn days.
I'm disappointed only because they said increased traffic variety. Could've at least stuck some update cars into traffic spawns. Still the same as last gen. Only plus is 60fps on Series S but I have a bad habit of switching between graphical modes to see how fidelity looks.
@Kooky_Daisuke The only playstation person I can think of that games hardcore is Mark Cerny as he platinums games (read about it a few times on Push Square) but he seems to mainly play single player games. I haven't played it but he's platinumed cuphead.
Don't bother with Hydrophobia. Was really pi553d when I played it on Xbox. Starts getting good then ends. Just buy a ps3 for it instead like I did so you can play the full game.
As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted it. Not counting my switch lite, it was my first brand new not-used console. I just like how it looks and how small it is compared to the Fatbox One. I'd already bought my physical games digitally through sales anyway so I was prepared for no-disc gaming. Pointless buying discs now when you have to install it first anyway, in my opinion.
Got it for my Dreamcast again last year I think but couldn't play it the day I bought it because the aerial is f'd. Hopefully at least 60 frames on Series S like the Dreamcast version.
@FatalBubbles There's people on the 'twitter streets' saying Microsoft paid reviewers for good scores. Probably trolls. But there's a clip of a playstation twitter space meeting I saw on YouTube where someone literally loses their 💩 over Xbox saying lots of n words and all that. Grown adults too. Guy who's channel I saw it on is called turboverse or something like that.
Inb4 some hardcore (not all) playstation fans say Xbox paid Shu to send over the wine for positive media coverage like they did for the good Halo Infinite reviews.
Played many hours of Wu Tang Taste the Pain on Ps1. Loved unlocking the alternate skins and fighters with similar but slightly different fighting styles to those already available. Loved the chaos of four player free-for-all fights. Managed to beat the last boss once without losing a single life. Loved the music and sounds. I hope the rpg is real and that it's console exclusive for once.
