Wait until they're easily available. I'm in no rush. Also plenty of time between release and catching coronavirus so I'm following all OCD urges and washing my hands to the bone and not touching my face until I get home which means blinking a lot if I get a fly in my eye walking home from work.
I hope you can download mods for Skyrim via the backwards compatibility. I want to run all the mods that previously made my game crash and then do laps running through Dragon Bridge. That place nearly always crashes no matter what mods you use.
November 10th seems so far away considering I live in Preston which is currently one of the top 5 for infection rates for coronavirus in England land. Hoping to bag an S from brick and mortar when they're easily available.
I suppose I can wait until the series S is available to buy for a new controller. You have to press A hard on my current controller which wouldn't be bad if it weren't a requirement to go faster on Tony Hawks 1 and 2. That game convinced me I needed to buy a new controller but none are currently available and I ain't buying no wired one.
I never pre order consoles. I've only pre ordered one game (portal knights) and I'm never pre ordering again because it didn't have public multiplayer (friends only). Series S will be my first none pre owned console if I'm still alive by then if you know what I mean with current events.
Off topic but saw someone on Twitter say that now they should do a doom/halo crossover, or add doom guy to halo lol. Or Killer Instinct.
You can tell he knows that we'll never know it's there even though it's technically in full view. Would've been funnier if the 'speaker' was shown with a radio placed next to it.
I'm in no rush to get one. Waiting until it's easily available. Until then I'll keep adding to the small but slowly growing nest egg I've been saving thanks to coronavirus. Currently have enough for 2 S consoles lol. Coronavirus got me scared of touching money which has made it easier for me to save up. When I do spend money it's with a glove on my right hand and the money is kept in a food bag in my left pocket so my ungloved left hand can get it out.
Maybe someone can leak what happened to the Xbox one controllers. I can't find any new wireless ones anywhere where I live. No way I'm buying a wired one. They break easy.
S all the way. Most of my games are digital now thanks to sales. Still got the physical versions lol. I'm too lazy to change discs and with having to install discs anyway I might as well go all in on digital.
Going to save even more now lol. Need some spare change in case my dog has to go to the vets/rspca. If things go as I hope this will be my first non-pre owned console. I need to smell new console smell.
Weird. I was at work cleaning today and I think about things because it's boring and repetitive, and one of those thoughts was can pc users use an Xbox one controller for Horizon zero dawn.
Provided I can play it on a standard HD tv, I should be able to outright one, provided the cheaper model exists. I have a nice nest egg thanks to coronavirus pandemic and not wanting to buy what I don't need.
For a next gen game he looks worse than vanilla Skyrim facial expressions wise. At least you know on Skyrim when they're angry. Craig looks not bothered.
I know I can easily switch my region then switch back but I don't want to as just the thought of doing that annoys me. Also I'm paranoid I might get banned as rare as that may be.
@F3NIXII I could do that but I shouldn't have to do that, especially now that it's going to be available in the uk on steam from a list I saw that someone screenshotted on Twitter. Also I'm not doing that because I'd rather have it available to download without jumping through hoops. Really pi55es me off when Xbox locks out some of their player base and makes things US only.
I got 14 but I hate being called awesome because I'm not a teen or american or a surfer. Also booo two Crossfire X answers. Would've had full marks if not for that.
If sea of thieves gets 60fps on the rumoured cheaper console then imma get that. Long mermaid black screens are more tense than actually getting attacked by other players.
I've also read most first party games shown yesterday are Xbox series x console exclusive and won't be coming to Xbox One. I'm fine with that but Everwild doesn't look very next gen to me. So much for not forcing you to upgrade for at least two years.
If they make it free then they would've unified pc and console. Pc for the nerds and console for those who know nothing about ram and graphics cards like me.
@RedShirtRod the diehard console war fanboys always find a negative. They'd just say Xbox series X has no true exclusives.
I stopped playing on Xbox after the beyond update because there was graphical glitches like textures not fully loading on creatures, plants and the environment. Creatures looked smooth with no detail and plants and rocks looked low res like clay, and the backpack in the menu became low res after a while, and creatures in the discovery menu were also missing detail. Only fix was saving the game then loading it back up, then it would happen again after visiting a few planets or systems. Bought the game on ps4 last year to see how that version looked and after seeing how much better it looked compared to Xbox like cracks in the ground actually looking like cracks on rocky planets and colours looking better and brighter I stopped playing it on both because it annoyed me.
Touch wood nothing happens before then, I may be able to afford myself a new Xbox Series S if it exists. This pandemic has allowed me to save some money as I'm only buying essentials (noodles, biscuits, mini trifles, chicken strips.......more crap, and the odd digital game). Hoping I don't need a 4k hdr capable tv as I can't afford them, and even if I could I probably couldn't carry one home.
I'm not bothered by them. I just don't like them touching me. Sometimes find small ones crawling on my head when it's windy in autumn. I always keep an empty cereal box so if I find a biggish one in my flat I can get it out. Don't mind letting a small one crawl on my finger to get it out. I'm a cleaner and feel guilty if I accidentally kill one while mopping the floor for some reason.

If I had more money I'd get that over the S just for the box.

Re: Guide: These 300+ Creators Collection Games Are All Free On Xbox
I don't bother with the Creators collection because there's no online multiplayer. Also makes me miss Xbox Indies. Castleminer war was fun.
Re: Microsoft Flight Sim Dev 'Working Full Speed' On Xbox Console Version

Re: Poll: Will You Be Picking Up An Xbox Series X This November?
I'll be getting the cheaper one as long as I can play all games on my standard peasant HD TV. Also to see if Skyrim is more stable with mods.

Re: Marvel's Avengers Leak Suggests Spiderman Will Be Exclusive To PS4

Re: The Xbox One X Might Have Been Discontinued
Touch wood nothing happens before then, I may be able to afford myself a new Xbox Series S if it exists. This pandemic has allowed me to save some money as I'm only buying essentials (noodles, biscuits, mini trifles, chicken strips.......more crap, and the odd digital game). Hoping I don't need a 4k hdr capable tv as I can't afford them, and even if I could I probably couldn't carry one home.

Re: Poll: How Much Do Spiders Bother You In Games?
I'm not bothered by them. I just don't like them touching me. Sometimes find small ones crawling on my head when it's windy in autumn. I always keep an empty cereal box so if I find a biggish one in my flat I can get it out. Don't mind letting a small one crawl on my finger to get it out. I'm a cleaner and feel guilty if I accidentally kill one while mopping the floor for some reason.
