@JetmanUK haha!! My Xbox Series X standard black controller has been repaired and should arrive soon... who knows what kind of controller I will find in the package? I will let you know 😛
@Chaudy I'm in your same boat: nobody I know run Stadia or Geforce Now without issues... and at the end they give up. Keep in mind I have nothing against game-streaming, only I can't afford them.
@Tasuki I do agree with you, but I didn't want to sound too harsh. I believe Reggie is a corporate/marketing guy, not a gamer or interesting in gaming. I know it sounds naive, but it is only my opinion.
Finally every time i read Geoff Keighley my eyes start to roll.
@Tsushima for what I know the first and second remake should be out soon. Instead the third new entry is in a limbo. Deus Ex (2000) and Bioshock are considered spiritual successors of System Shock due to the same producer, Warren Spector.
@Spaceman-Spiff Maybe because my little brain associates Reggie with Wii and WiiU Nintendo era; two consoles I didn't love, sorry.
Said that I'm confident he did much and well to sell those 2 products.
When I was a child I remember Sonic was too fast and difficult for me: I wasn't able to grasp the game. Now of course I'm too old and my reflexes are aging 😅
As a side note, my Parents didn't want I played videogames so I did it occasionally at my friend houses. I had to start working for buying my first console.
@Tangerine the problem with cloud gaming is, in my opinion, the fact that the band has to be constant, because there is no buffer. For example I have a WiMax connection because I live in a rural area: 50mb down / 20mb up. Problem is it fluctuates quite a bit for several reasons, so cloud gaming is inconsistent and I had to give up. Said that many friends of mine with fiber has a similar issue even with 300mb down.
However thank you very much for sharing Starlink 🙂
I do confess I had a problem with Cyberpunk 2077, a common problem of mine: I had to stop playing games for about 10 days because of work and other stuff, and when I returned I completely forgot the interface, which is necessary complex due to the nature of the game. So I gave up... I'm sorry.
I talk about this modern issue quite much with my friends, because they suffer from the same attitude.
I guess the core problem is that I'm aging
However I do plan to restart the game and possibly finish it.
@Relygon yes you are right, but if I remember correctly you can decide and configure how your console turns off: it is flexible and I appreciate that.
A friend of mine has the same problem so I helped him to program the turning off so every time it performs a full shut down.
By the way another option in the turn off menu should be appreciated.
@Bleachedsmiles you can even configure in settings that every time you turn off the console, it performs a full shutdown. A full shutdown should be performed every time you unplug your console. I can't guide you exactly because I'm away from my console, but just explore the Setting menu and you will find how to program your console turning off behaviors.

Re: All Xbox One Games With Free Series X|S Upgrades In 2022
@fraserg I think 2 games I own are already optimized for Series X|S
1) Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles
2) Warhammer: Chaosbane
Both have NOT Smart Delivery i.e. you have to buy the upgraded version.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
