@Ep_13 not everyone lives alone. some people have actual friends that visit occasionally.

@Zoidpilot4 you come off as a bully here

@themightyant It helps that developers only have to focus on optimizing their games for one set of Playstation 5 specs.

@themightyant the problem is the X isn't hitting those peaks because developers are too pre-occupied bringing along an inferior system.

@Titntin Thanks for taking the time to respond! I am early enough in the game to focus on a magic build, so perhaps I will start there. I'm not so much of a trophy hunter myself, but I really would like to dig back into it and get a better grasp of what makes it such a great game. And eventually say I conquered it. Have never been a Souls guy, but most people say Elden Ring is the most accomodating place to start for beginners.

Meh game. Tried it for an hour or two, immediately got bored of it's gameplay, and uninstalled it right after. Maybe just not my cup of tea.

@Titntin This would be my ideal strategy. Alas I jumped off out of frustration very early on. How long would you say it took to accomplish such a build? I'd like to have another go at Elden Ring with this sort of outcome in mind.

@Would_you_kindly came here to say the same thing. The Series S is holding back the X.

@ZeD It allows the site to maintain some quasi-highground while they silence people like communists.

Apparently the first amendment doesn't apply here. What a shame.

Game Pass is great, but sometimes I wonder if it somehow hinders AAA gaming, with the publisher (Microsoft-Bethesda) promoting it via its subscription service.

I would have to say my biggest concern with Microsoft, as
an enthusiastic product supporter, is a seeming lack of original concepts. Both software and hardware. Perhaps(re. hopefully) their acquisitions pay off. I love the Series X as a kit, but it seems they are a bit complacent? or less ambitious? Maybe I am underestimating cloud gaming. Happy New Year's everyone, stay safe and best wishes.

Starfield and Redfall have a lot of weight on their shoulders. I do hope they deliver.
