I've put hundreds of hours into Sea of Thieves on Xbox and pretty much burned myself out on it now. I still go on occasionally but it's mostly on safer seas for a bit of messing about and fishing.
I really hold no ill will to Microsoft and Rare for putting this on PS5. It's an old live service game and they want it to continue to live. I can't see them being able to keep the content pumps churning as players from Xbox slowly fall off the game over the years. In a world where everything costs more to make, and competition is increasingly more fierce, it does need new blood.
A strange decision to uncap the framerate when it hovers around 30. A consistent 30 with good pacing is great. Uncapped is a mess. Even stranger that the dev intentionally chose this instead of it being an oversight.
The size on the article for Series S does not seem correct. My update was 88.36GB for Series S. Which sadly also more than doubles the install size it used to be.
Despite it being flawed (helmet coming off constantly, and boring side plot). I did enjoy the primary plot. I stayed the series. Not amazing, not bad either.
Have hopes season 2 is an improvement as the story has plenty of promise.
@PhilKenSebben This one is kinder to solo players than the first game. Especially if you choose the Handler class, as your dog will aggro and tank a lot of the enemies. I'm finding it an easier ride than 1.

I hope this makes it to both Switch and Xbox soon, I prefer playing 2D platformers hand held.

Re: Review: Dragon's Dogma 2 (Xbox) - Capcom's Cult Classic Makes A Triumphant Return
10/10 for a game with terrible performance? It's hard to trust scores like these.

I fancied getting this, but will skip it.

Re: If Your Xbox Wishlist Has Suddenly Disappeared, You're Not Alone
It's good to see an article about this, maybe Team Xbox will take notice. They haven't said anything so far about it.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Locks In Xbox Series X|S And Xbox One Release
I'm also glad I skipped this release on Switch, as it has issues even keeping 30fps there. I'll be getting this one on Xbox.
