@Kaloudz They've only been overly generous because they were desperate and had to do something and last time i checked they're still so far behind Sony and Nintendo so seems weird to start making everything less consumer friendly all of a sudden.
@SacredPYRO Did they do anything about the hackers? That was always my main issue getting put in hacked lobbies with people using god mode and other hacks. The ttk is too high i think and every time i play domination or hard point barely anyone plays the objective it just feels so slow compared to older games.
This is the worst COD since Ghosts entire teams camping so many games don't even reach the score limit and the spawns are atrocious hopefully MS can bring COD back to what it was or just fix the og MW2 and I'll play that instead.
Tried it on the first day of the beta and couldn't even get past the account creation screen before it crashed on PS5 never went back to it after that.
@Kezelpaso Yeah i would have been shocked if they didn't make it a full priced release when it sells so well every year wishful thinking on my part lol
@Dan1283 I've had the same issue with Starfield crashing constantly on Series S i had the same problem with Fallout 4 it was even worse than Starfield.
I enjoyed this more than i thought i would considering the reviews it got i finished it on PS5 earlier in the year and it was fun story could have been longer though.
I've been jumping between loads of games recently can't seem to stick to anything but probably more Cyberpunk trying to get through the main story so i can buy Phantom Liberty.
I'll give it a try but barely played Fifa 23 that came with my PS5 miss the good old days of PES wish Konami would bring it back to a full priced release and not the free to play garbage it's become.
I started Dead Space last night so probably continue with that and Sniper Elite 5 on PS5 . On Xbox it'll be more Starfield probably just going to stick to the main story missions now and get it finished. I'll maybe give the Crew Motorsport trial a go too just downloaded it.
Voted 8/10 I'm loving the game but the crashes are getting more regular the longer i play it's crashed multiple times every day for the last 3 days there's also far too many loading screens.
On Xbox it'll be Starfield for the foreseeable future loving it so far. On PS5 I'm going to hopefully start Dead Space and play more of Sniper Elite 5 not really enjoying this one as much because it seems to push you into more cqc.
All my crashes so far seem to be after leaving the game on quick resume I've had mixed results with quick resume in general some games it works great others it doesn't work at all.
I'd say it's between an 8.5 and a 9 for me I've never been the biggest Bethesda fan never finished any of their games but I'm already planning a new game plus playthrough for this when I've finished my first. It's fantastic with a few small issues holding it back from being perfect great review.
I've had it crash on me a few times but no major bugs or glitches just some slowdown and stuttering when in built up areas I'm surprised it runs this well on Series S.
Xbox I'll be playing more of Starfield it's great but there's too many loading screens and I'm not a fan of the ship combat. On PS5 I've started a new game in Mafia Definitive edition and Pokemon Brilliant diamond for Switch has just been delivered plenty to keep me busy
@Rmg0731 I've not had many issues slight stuttering a couple of times but no crashes or anything major so far I'm actually surprised how well it runs on Series S.
Finished Firewatch last night really enjoyed the story I've also downloaded Everspace 2 just trying to kill time until Starfield releases. On PS5 I've started Dying Light 2 but not really enjoying it as much as the first game.
I started the Witcher 2 the other night going to hopefully play more of that and also completed Metro Last Light got the bad ending because i just murdered everyone lol.
Just finished FF 16 on Thursday game of the year so far for me the story was absolutely fantastic. I've started Days Gone again hopefully actually get to the end this time. I'll also be playing some Exoprimal on Gamepass later with my brother this game is more fun than i was expecting but needs more content.
I've downloaded and played one match so far can see me playing this for a few hours then I'll get bored there doesn't seem to be much content and it feels like a free to play game.
FF16 for me I'm 80% finished I'm hoping to get it finished up this weekend so i can get back to trying to clear some of the backlog. Downloaded Sword and Fairy on Gamepass too so I'll give that a try if there's time.
