As much as I want to play GTA 6, I don’t think I want my Xbox dashboard teasing me every day about a game that isn’t out for potentially 2 years 😂

The old dreaded mixed reviews scenario 🙄 I’ll probably get it at some point, but am too busy with work & Christmas right now.

If anyone is going to push the envelope in what a console can do it’s Rockstar. You may have to wait 5-7 years for a game from them, but it’s usually worth the wait. I reckon GTA 6 will be 30fps on PS5/XSX, but by then PS5 Pro and the Xbox equivalent will be out on which GTA 6 will probably be 60fps.

Rollerdrome today, Steam world build on Friday…happy days 🙂

Sorry Ubisoft, but this is utter BS!

Your sister site PushSquare are acting like a PlayStation fanboy with this information. Expected better.

I think “mixed” is about right tbh. It has some good points, but also quite a few flaws. I uninstalled it a few days ago to make some room for newer games.

I want to play this but there is no option in the game to invert Y axis! This is a deal breaker for me, and looking at the Xbox store reviews for many other people too. Hopefully it will get patched in ASAP.

😱 I had this pegged as slipping into 2024. Good news its still arriving on time. Fingers crossed for good reviews 🤞

I finally caved and bought Baldur’s gate 3 (sorry, couldn’t wait for the Xbox version!). Looking forward to getting stuck in over the weekend. Will also try and squeeze some Forza Motorsport in.

Not sure I can wait for the Xbox version. I’ve just finished Cyberpunk / Phantom Liberty, and close to finishing Spider-Man 2, so I’m looking for a new game to play. It’s either gonna be BG3 or Alan Wake 2.

As much as I’m enjoying Forza Motorsport, I think I’m gonna shelve it for the time being until they fix the “applying upgrades” bug (infinite loading screen). It’s happened to me 3 times now and you lose your progress from the previous race every time 😡 I’m gonna give the 5 hour trial of WRC a go for my racing fix instead. Also trying to wrap things up in Cyberpunk & Phantom liberty. I’m quite enjoying Jusant as well, which is giving me some Ico vibes (great game that deserves a remake).

They need to sort out some of the bugs first. I had an infinite loading screen bug when the game was applying upgrades to my car between career races. When I rebooted the game it hadn’t even saved my last race result, meaning I’ve got to do it again 🙄

Won’t download for me 🙄 when I click on the free trial it just takes me to a “manage subscription” page.

This wasn’t really on my radar as I’ve never played the first game, but I can’t ignore so many good reviews! Guess I’ll have to watch a story recap on YouTube or something before diving in.

Probably not much on Xbox this weekend as I’ll mainly be hopping between Spider-Man 2 and Super Mario Wonder. If I can pull myself away from these 2 excellent games, then maybe some Forza Motorsport and Cyberpunk on XSX. Happy weekend chooms! 🙂

Can’t believe how quick this has come to GP! I would give it a go, but I just have too many other games to play right now. Time is my nemesis 😂

I played some races today and still had some issues. When racing on Lime Rock park I had some flickering on the track just in front me (using bumper cam) for the whole race. They also still haven’t fixed the RT button not working during replays (it’s supposed to fast forward, but does nothing). I’m sure these issues and more will be addressed at some point though.

I’m buying 2 new games next week…but neither are on Xbox! Spiderman 2 and Super Mario Wonder. I may pick up Hot wheels Unleashed 2 though at a later date.

Playing quite a lot of Forza Motorsport right now. I’ve been mixing it up between career races and online. Glad to say I still have a S safety rating 🙂 I always find it quite funny when another (online) racer barges past me, but you can see in the top left corner what penalties they’ve accumulated, and always gives me a wry smile when even though they’re in front of me on track, they finish behind me because of penalties 😂
Also playing Cyberpunk 2077 / Phantom liberty. Really enjoying it, just a shame that even after 2.01 update the Series X still struggles in some areas of Dogtown. Saying that, the lighting in this game is phenomenal, especially in building interiors.

Sounds like a perfect addition to GamePass somewhere down the line!

You ask will it lead to greater player numbers? The problem is they’ve released this during a very busy game period (BG3, Starfield, Cyberpunk 2.0/Phantom Liberty, AC Mirage) with still more to come (Spiderman 2, Super Mario Wonder, Lords of the fallen). I still haven’t played Redfall yet but definitely want to, I just don’t know when that will be.

Really enjoying Forza Motorsport so far. Even did a few MP races yesterday, and I hardly ever play online. The only thing I’d wish they change is to add qualifying laps in career mode, instead of picking your own grid position (“Risk v reward” as they call it) .Still playing Cyberpunk 2077 / Phantom liberty. I had started a new play through for the 2.0 update, but decided I didn’t have the time so reloaded my previous V, though it meant spending an hour or so redistributing all my attribute & perk points. Loving Dogtown so far.

I voted Starfield, even though I’m pretty bored with it now.

Why the hell is this patch 38gb?!?! 😱

I hope they can find a way to add post-launch (free) tracks to the career mode, much like GT7 added new cafe menus.

It looks cool, but I don’t think I can justify buying another controller after recently buying the Starfield one!

I have the Phantom Liberty DLC installed now, but will wait until this patch drops before I start it. Just doing gigs and exploring Night City in the meantime.

I voted for Gotham Knights, though tbh with so many other games to play right now I don’t know when I’ll get the chance.

Not my cup of tea. I gave it a go, only because of the reviews really, but soon decided it wasn’t for me.

The Cyberpunk 2.0 update & Phantom Liberty DLC has made me - temporarily at least - shelve Starfield. I just don’t have time to play both and tbh I’m enjoying Cyberpunk more.

@Balta666 yes 2.0 update is installed. I was just unlucky I guess.

I was playing this morning in the main map, and when I called for a vehicle it appeared…several dozen feet up in the air above me 😂

@TJ81 I feel the same way. Am about 35 hours into Starfield but am more or less ready to shelve it, at least for now. Like yourself, I’ve just started a new play through of Cyberpunk and then onto Phantom Liberty. It’s also jarring going from the big open world of Night City with no load screens to Starfield which is filled with them.

Gone 6pm here in the UK and still not showing on GamePass 🙄

The only Xbox game I’m looking forward to in October is Forza Motorsport. Other big games I’ll be buying are on rival systems - Spiderman 2 (PS5) and Super Mario Wonder (Switch).
Btw Overpass 2 is already out 🤔

Another win for GamePass! Let’s goooooooo

@PhileasFragg it’s another way of Microsoft getting money out of people, rather than just let them have it for “free” on GamePass. I’m part of the problem because I caved on Starfield, and will probably cave on Forza as well 😂

@GunValkyria I’m about 35 hours into Starfield and my interest is starting to waver. It just hasn’t “clicked” with me yet.

Makes sense. Even a game like Assassin’s creed Mirage I would usually have bought day 1, but have decided to buy it later because of other big games dropping in October (Spiderman 2 and Mario Wonder for me, out on the same day no less!)

I probably will, mainly because I’m on annual leave next week when the early access version drops. By the time the standard version releases I’ll be back to (full-time) work. The early access version will give me 4 solid days with it before I go back to work.

It would make sense to release it in November, or even December, as October is already packed for new releases.

@Muddy Tbh you get used to it after a while. And I could be wrong but I’m sure it’s smoother now than at launch.

I think there’s enough games still to come out this year to keep me going well into 2024! Even if BG3 dropped on Xbox tomorrow I wouldn’t have time to play it.

Started a new play through last night of Cyberpunk 2077 now the 2.0 patch has dropped. Only had time to do the prologue so too early to see any of the major changes so far, though gun play felt punchier to me. Still having lots of fun with The Crew Motorfest. As far as Starfield goes, well my interest is starting to waver. I’ve played around 30-35 hours, but it could go either way right now. I’ll plod on, and just hope the game does enough to keep me playing.

@jerkob they’ve been around for quite a while, and yes they are known informally as “Codies”

What happened to F2P Division Heartland? 🤔

It’s not live for me 🙄 tried restarting Xbox, launching game etc. Maybe it’s not live in every region yet? 🤔

I played the base game on Series X and enjoyed it, though I never quite finished it. With all the 2.0 changes I think I’m going to start a new play through so I can appreciate all the new perks, skill trees, improvements etc.

I’ve never played Gotham Knights so that’s a nice addition. Just a shame it’s being added during a busy release window meaning I probably won’t get time to play it.
