I've gotten bored of games as I've got older but I still game. Currently play Skyrim just to enjoy the modded scenery at 60 frames on my Series S. Gaming never damaged me.
Got my Series S Saturday which was a nice surprise (delivery date said 31). Now I can actually enjoy playing Sea of Thieves. Mermaid on Xbox one was hell.
Great. More time for coronavirus to get me. I was at work yesterday thinking about this update (I'm a cleaner) and overheard a member of staff talking to someone on the phone who had coronavirus, and that another staff member had been in close contact with them and needed to self isolate. Then that staff member walked in without a mask before being told he had to leave to self isolate. I swear 2021 wants to kill me. I just hope my mask and being away from the staff was enough to protect me.
Get it all the time when playing Skyrim and gta online on Xbox One, mostly if I put the controller down for a bit if I'm eating or having a break. Sometimes cuts off while I'm playing them too for a split second.
I've got some money saved burning a hole in a tub because I can't buy a series s in-store anywhere and I refuse to buy one online. I did see a Series X though behind some glass at CEX for £650. Looked nice.
17. Guessed some but knew most of the ones I got right. Would've been 18 if it weren't for that XIII question. The eff is that? Looks nothing like the original.
Cool......too bad I don't own an S/X😂 Waiting until I can buy one in-store. I did buy a Series X/S controller though but it keeps cutting off for a split second according to gta online (message pops up saying reconnect controller then goes away again. Using a gioteck rechargeable battery which I bought today).
That's weird. I was literally thinking about Deadrising for some reason at my cleaning job a few hours ago (I think lot's of random thoughts at work because it's incredibly repetitive and boring and I'm on autopilot).
Might as well buy Borderlands 3, even though I probably won't play it much (bought dying light 4 years ago, played it for a bit, quit then didn't touch it until this year. Bad habit). I just want it to complete my digital collection (not counting that story Borderlands game).
I went to GAME to see if they had any Series S's, left with my back-up plan of a Switch Lite and Super Mario Maker 2. Still have enough for an S. Waiting it out with my switch and retro NES/SNES games I can play with one year online subscription (£17.99, bargain). Plus I just bought Super Mario Sunshine/N64/Galaxy collection today. F scalpers.
Looking forward to the new dynamic backgrounds. Shame I don't have an S yet though. Waiting until I can walk into GAME and buy one, then carry it home in a Herons or Oops shopping bag.
@stuie123 I've never smelt it lol. All my consoles have been pre owned either through cash converters or CEX, normally at the end of a generation. I actually saved money this time.
I'll probably have to wait until after christmas to be able to walk into a shop and buy an S😭 No way I'm ordering online. Might get damaged and I want to experience new console smell.
Now I want a burger after seeing that clip. Haven't bought any food from takeaways or bakeries since March or April because I'm paranoid about coronavirus😭
Looking forward to soloing a ghost ship fleet again at 60fps and then after dodging wraith cannonballs from all sides and taking pot shots, then finally defeating all ghost ships after forever, then sinking my ship in the middle of the ocean to safely pick up the loot without being noticed, not being able to actually collect said loot because the rowboat decided to glitch out and bounce me about, become uninteractable then bounce me to the bottom of the sea like last night😐
Good thing I'm in no rush to buy an S then. I'm trying to save more money even though I have enough to buy two S's. @FraserG you put Xbox series X twice (5th paragraph according to my tablet).
I stopped playing it on Xbox because of the glitched textures on basically everything. Been playing it on ps4 instead where the base version looked much better than Xbox One. Hopefully the S version won't have glitched textures.
Was waiting for Dying Light to be on sale as that was the last physical game I have that wasn't yet digital. Can now use all my physical games to put towards an Xbox series s on store credit.
I'm getting an S but when things settle down after christmas. And to those complaining about no disc drive, you have to install games anyway so I just thought 'F it' and bought all my physical Xbox one games digitally when they were on sale. Going to put them towards the price of the Series S lol. Also digital means less game cases to clean when they get dusty with not being touched in ages.
Now I know how PlayStation fans feel with a lack of info. I want to see games for the S/X running on the hardware and not 'running on a PC representative of target performance' like with Scorn. All they've shown so far is backwards compatibility. Still getting an S though.
I'm binning my Fatbox One once I get a Series S. I'll factory reset it and chuck it into the communal bins. Get people rooting through them. They could sell it off themselves after giving it a wipe. Keeping the controllers though.
@Fath thanks. I used to think my job was easy but boring. Now it's incredibly boring because I'm wiping the same damn things everyday since the pandemic started lol. Handles, switches, chairs, keyboards, mice, tables, drawer handles, filing cabinet handles, phones. Can't even focus on playing games much now.
Hoping I'm still alive to get it. Just found out where I clean there were two confirmed cases of coronavirus last week, and one of them was in the office next door to the one I was cleaning because I heard a lot of coughing, and today that office was locked and taped up. I hate 2020.
@ralphdibny if they're still available where I buy them from (B and M, where what you buy is there one week gone the next forever) I'm all set for 70% alcohol wipes for cheap. I'll be wiping my S down when I eventually buy one, but not before giving it a quick sniff for my first experience of new console smell.

Re: Xbox Series X Offers The 'Best Console Experience Right Now' For Cyberpunk 2077
So much for being the 'most powerful console' when it drops more frames compared to the Ps5 versions of games. And I'm an Xbox main.
@Menchi Thanks. You've made the waiting for the next gen patch even easier now with those screenshots. Glad I held off buying it.
