I've played this quite a bit and there's an enjoyable game in there somewhere but the netcode has been broken since the first beta and they clearly can't fix it.
On PS5 I've been playing the closed beta for New World Aeternum and I'm surprised to say I'm quite enjoying it so far. Also working my way through Outcast New Beginning but it's one of the most glitchy games I've ever played which is a shame as it's actually quite fun. On Xbox I've just started Kona.
It was excellent Perfect Dark looked amazing. I'm still not sure about Fable yet need to see more. Only real small disappointment was no older CoD games got added to Gamepass thought that would have happened by now.
The original Xbox never had an issue with it still have it somewhere not had many issues with Series S either. But 360 i had 2 rrod and one Xbox one that had to be replaced after developing a fault after a year or so.
It looks amazing but it's not for me didn't really like the first game so wasn't expecting to get much out of this just wanted to see the graphics tbh.
I finally finished the game yesterday and no crashes during the 4 hours i played definitely seems more stable just a shame Series s didn't get the 60fps option.
On PS5 i just finished Rebirth finally and I'm about to start playing through the Resident Evil remakes. On Xbox i I just completed Harold Halibut and started Eiyuden Chronicles.
@Ricky-Spanish It's honestly pretty slow going all the way through found the story quite interesting and enjoyed the slower pace but it definitely won't be for everyone.
It depends on the game as others have said but I'll usually always go for the 60fps mode if it's an option especially for shooters and other faster paced games.
@HonestHick I really don't understand why they've not released a collection yet it seems like a no brainer hopefully this is finally the year but I'm not holding my breath.
The hit detection is still shocking empty full clips into people and they don't even lose health then they drop me with a quick spray the whole thing feels like a cheap mobile game tbh.
More Rebirth for me I'm up to chapter 9 now and it's been amazing so far it's one of those games i don't want to end. I also started Prototype last night seems OK bought both of them for £4 so not expecting much tbh. On Xbox I'm going to start playing through all the Gears games again.
@eire-shabba Was just going to comment this it's looks absolutely dreadful on Series S it also crashed the 3 times i tried to play it during a cutscene.
@Romans12 I used the assault shotgun and military grenade to stun it then used the fury mode on it with the slayer card that let's you recharge fury for killing zombies and it died pretty fast.
I just finished the main story on Dead Island 2 on Gamepass and I'll be playing Final Fantasy Rebirth most of the weekend now with a little Helldivers 2 later on.
I've only watched the first 2 episodes and I'm not sure if I'll watch more don't think it's any better than the first season imo. Hopefully the Fallout show is better I've got slightly more hope for that.
On PS5 I'll be jumping back in to Helldivers 2 and maybe go back to Alan Wake 2. On Xbox I've just finished RE3 remake first RE game I've ever completed because I'm usually a coward with horror games.
Think I've got 1 Xbox one game and a few 360 games lying about somewhere but I'm all digital now since I've only got the Series S and barely use it tbh only bought 3 games since i got it.
