Trying to get back into AC Shadows I'm about 80 hours in and haven't even seen half the map yet. On Xbox I'm halfway through Doom it's the first of the newer Doom games that really clicked for me. I also started Sand Land when it was added to plus so maybe try and play some more of that seems pretty decent so far only 4 hours in though.
Xdefiant was actually pretty decent they just took far too long to fix the hit detection issues and too slow adding new content. I put about 100 hours into it and it felt like the good old days of CoD without SBMM tuned to the max.
Loved it and it wasn't even a game i was particularly looking forward too but it was beautiful and just the right length for the type of game it was. Soundtrack was fantastic too.
Finished Sniper Elite 5 yesterday and still playing AC Shadows and some PGA tour on PS5. On Xbox I'm going between Oblivion and Clair Obscur. I might drop Oblivion for now and buy it later in the year for PS5 as it doesn't run very well on Series S. Also bought Days Gone upgrade so I'll continue with that later on.
On PS5 still playing AC Shadows and i decided to give Death Stranding another go and I'm now 20 hours in and really enjoying it bought it a while ago and couldn't get into it but glad i decided to give it another try. On Xbox I'm playing South of Midnight it's fun but the combat is kind of repetitive should hopefully be finished today or tomorrow.
Tried and it and unistalled after about an hour it's got horrible input lag on Series S first group of enemies i ran into killed me repeatedly because my guy just stood there while they bashed his head in with a cricket bat. I didn't get on with Stalker 2 either so this type of game just isn't for me maybe but this definitely needs a few patches especially on the Series S.
Ac Shadows and Black Ops 6 on PS5. Shadows is excellent I'm about 30 hours in and barely scratched the surface trying to fully explore the map and just taking in the views the game looks incredible. I'm also tempted to start another playthrough of Avowed.
On PS5 I just bought Star Wars Outlaws on sale started that last night and I'll be playing Lost Records later with the Mrs. On Xbox still playing Avowed about 50 hours in and nearing the end now absolutely loved my time with it the world is beautiful and just fun to explore.
Still playing Avowed close to 40 hours in and I'm just finishing up the 3rd areas side quests and bounties honestly don't want it to end the world is just fun to explore and it's packed with things to find.
Really enjoying it so far about 20 hours in and I'm still in the 2nd area. The world is beautiful and I'm having a lot of fun just exploring it slowly and taking a bunch of screenshots. I'm hoping they'll make dlc or we'll get a sequel in the future.
I really want to try Rogue trader but I've just started Avowed and I've still got Sniper Elite to finish so it'll probably have to wait unless i just stop sleeping lol.
On PS5 I'll be playing some Dying Light 2 co-op with a mate and maybe some High On Life. On Xbox I'm trying to finish Sniper Elite Resistance and Far Cry New Dawn before Avowed on Tuesday. I've also still got to finish Visions of Mana but got really bored about halfway through and I've not went back for a couple weeks.
Absolutely loved this game it was almost perfect apart from a couple of small bugs near the end for me. I'll definitely be buying this for PS5 when it releases to play through it again.
I've downloaded the first game to give it another try but i don't think these games are for me just find it too frustrating and don't really have the time to properly get into it.
On PS5 I'm still on Visions of Mana it's starring to feel a little repetitive now I've also started High On Life humour is a bit hit and miss but I'm enjoying it. On Xbox Sniper Elite Resistance and Black Ops 6. Also playing Medieval Dynasty don't usually enjoy these types of games but I've put close to 30 hours into it so far and barely scratched the surface really like it.
On PS5 I'm playing DA Veilguard about 35 hours in and I'm enjoying it more than i thought i would I've also started Visions of Mana and playing a bit of FC 25. On Xbox still playing Black Ops 6 and need to get back to Indiana jones.
Sucks this is closing had a lot of fun with it it had it's issues but when everything was working it was great. Unfortunately the game launching with bad hit detection probably killed it.
On PS5 I'm still trying to finish Dragon Age Inquisition so i can start Veilguard. On Xbox more Black Ops 6 and Indiana Jones absolutely loving Indy so far i spent almost 10 hours in the Vatican level before heading to Gizeh.
Indiana Jones for me I've spent about 10 hours in the Vatican level just got to Gizeh last night. Black Ops 6 is a close second not enjoyed a CoD this much in years.
On PS5 I'm still trying to finish Dragon Age Inquisition but it just keeps going lol bought Veilguard from Amazon for £35 so I'll start that whenever i finish Inquisition. On Xbox I'm still playing Black Ops 6 and tempted to buy the early access for Indiana Jones.
@Banjo- Either way it's just one man's opinion will it hurt your enjoyment of the game? And your first comment kind of implies that they're giving lower score for clicks even if you didnt actually directly accuse him of doing it. Either way I'm looking forward to trying the game on Monday for myself.
@Banjo- It's not respectful to question someone's integrity if you don't like the review that's fine but accusing PJ of lying just for clicks is literally the opposite of respectful.
I enjoyed the game but it had dodgy hit detection and not a lot of content so can't say I'm surprised. I was going to go back for season 3 but not much point now.
I've put about 5 hours in and when it works it's fun but I'll probably wait for 6 months before going back to it. But according to some people on here yesterday it was entitled of me to expect the game to run better and i was just being negative for the sake of it.
@Ricky-Spanish It drops to below 20fps on Series X at times that's not slight dips. Not one comment has criticised the dev team everyone knows what they're going through and honestly it's a miracle the game has even released but it could have done with another delay till early next year that's all I'm saying.
@OldGamer999 So everyone else is lying and you're the only one telling the truth there's youtube videos showing the frame rate dropping well below 60fps on Series X
Just played it there and it's a mess tbh I'm so disappointed I'm going to delete it and give it a go again next year after some more patches but it really should have been delayed again.
Playing Dead Island 2 and Horizon remastered on PS5 Horizon is gorgeous really enjoying going through it again. I'm also really tempted to buy DA Veilguard. On Xbox I'll try and finish the Black Ops 6 campaign.
@bowzoid It runs fine mate I've been playing it this morning for a bit i had quite bad stuttering and freezing during the beta but I've had none of that so far in the full release only played multiplayer so far though so not sure about campaign.

Re: Xbox RPG Avowed Seemingly Sold Well Despite Being In Game Pass
