@AI-Generation And having seen the box we get full Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision support. I'm surprised it isn't being mentioned more in these articles. If Rockstar and Sony keep pushing 'Tempest 3D Audio' as major benefit, so are the Dolby features of the Series X.

@BanthaPooDoo Well obviously English is not his native language. I'm sure your translation of popular Swedish expressions would be on point though...

Damn... thought it was a physical rifle to buy like the new gears of war bolter, lol

Has anyone had any success with going 'passwordless' and then being able to login to their Series X? I tried this but had a hell of a time trying, got stuck in some kind of loop with the QR Code and login code. Had to give up and set a password again...

There is a huge jump in AI skill between 'Average' and 'Above Average' for me. I need something in between like 'Middle Average', lol

@RadioHedgeFund Yeh, I think the only online race I may dip my toe into is 'Spec Racing' where everyone is racing stock cars. That's a great option to level the playing field (I'm certainly not going to be putting several hundreds of hours into this) so it should remain pretty competitive... I hope

@Fiendish-Beaver It was up on Amazon earlier but it looks like it's either sold out or I snuck in when I shouldn't have and it will get cancelled, lol

@SodaPop6548 Me too! Just pre-ordered the collectors edition

There's nothing like the excitement and hype of a new console launch, I love it. Being there day one is what it's all about for me...

I really miss the midnight game releases at the stores with the queues and camaraderie, getting back and playing for a few hours before falling into bed. Then dragging your ass up for work, fun times

Honestly, I don't mind in the slightest as I am not locked into their store. I can shop around and get game codes from other stores for better prices and if Helix include Steam as well then it's even cheaper.

I'm pretty much done with Sony at this point and their locked store, I have a digital PS5 dealing with crazy prices and the recent rumours that they are trying to find ways to fleece even more out of existing customer base, the first item seems to be the dynamic pricing.

I have an ageing PC, a Series X and a PS5 Pro, I am really looking forward to Helix replacing all of these...

@PsBoxSwitchOwner Exactly... I mean if it was like MindsEye or Gollum I could understand, lol

@kmtrain83 Hey, luckily my console and PC are both under a nice 55 inch OLED in my lounge for totally chilled sofa gaming, lol

Maybe there's another group I haven't seen mentioned like me... I have a Series X and an ageing potato PC. I keep looking at upgrading it but what with the crazy RAM/GPU prices it's no go for the next couple of years. If Helix is high enough spec I could replace both and would be willing to pay up to £1500.

I never played Far Cry 3 so will defo give a go... as for Far Cry Primal, this is my fav Far Cry, a fresh play through is definitely in order

@Titntin Oh don't get me wrong it's not really loud, I can just hear the coil whine or whatever it is under load when playing a game. It's silent on the dashboard. My ears are really sensitive to that high pitch noise

I love how quiet the series x is compared to the PS5. Back in the day it used to be the other way around with the 360 sounding like a jet engine and the PS nice and quiet

They've never managed to optimise these games properly in the past, it's so hit and miss. Can't imagine the switch to UE5 will make it any better.

Don't the dev teams normally scale down after a release anyway?

Woohoo! Wait, 123GB, 3 hours to go! lol

The Ubisoft+ service has issues on Xbox. Sometimes it disappears from your account and you cannot access your games for no reason. Relinking accounts, and/or deleting the connection on the Ubi website sometimes fixes it, other times not. Then one day it will appear again for no reason. I would not order this again on Xbox.

@Markatron84 Maybe give Wilds a try, it says "...making it probably the most accessible entry to date". And from what I've been reading elsewhere, "The 20-hour narrative can be very handhold-y, as you're funneled between cutscenes, dialogue, and tutorial-like missions."... It sounds like it might be a much better pace without overwhelming you

My LG TV and Xbox are quite temperamental when booting up from shutdown. Sleep keeps the HDMI signal alive, lol

Great, we need yet another 1st person survival-action game... not.

@Titntin Yeh I get that, I was trying to point out that if you've played before, on PS5 or PC and linked an SqEnx account, you won't be able to take part with that account. "The open beta test will only be available to new players who will be playing FINAL FANTASY XIV for the first time. "

@RadioHedgeFund You have to link to your square enix account. It's for brand new players only, if you have PS5 account already linked it won't work. I guess you could start over with a new acc. if you wanted to...

Still selling Anthem... lol

Yawn... another samey shooter that won't last longer than a year or two.
