I've been playing for about 4 1/2 hours. Took me 30 minutes to join. Just some funky glitches, but nothing major. Love it so far. Gameplay and graphics are fantastic.
The first game is what got me back into gaming. That and A Plague Tale. Both are ridiculously good games. Hellblade was the first game to keep me on edge the whole time I was playing.
Well, I just started playing it today. It's slightly buggy (but hey its first day), but I think its really fun. Harkens back to early 2000s first person shooters. Gorgeous visuals, over the top characters, and an interesting world. I don't know what people want from games these days, as it seems no one is satisfied with anything, but as of now, I give it an 8.5, and I didn't think it would be more than a 7 originally.
Just started playing today and all I can say is that I am unbelievably impressed. I have spent most of my time just looking around. The detail that went into this game is ridiculously impressive. So far I have found the wand combat to be way better than what I thought it was going to be. Everything is smooth and glorious. This has far surpassed my expectations.
@FatNugly If you like fantasy rpg's, you would probably like Hogwarts Legacy. It is set in the 1800's so it won't have anything to do with Harry Potter. But if you don't like the Harry Potter universe, chances are you probably won't enjoy it near as much as what fans would.
Bought my first Xbox a year ago. Been a PS guy my whole life and now I am a very satisfied convert. I love everything about my Xbox, with an exception of the absolutely horrible dashboard design. So ugly. And I agree with everyone else, what's the point of cool dynamic backgrounds if you can't see them.
I love the Dead Space series, and cannot wait to play this remake, but my poorness cannot justify $70 for a 15 hour game, so I'll wait for that inevitable price drop, but I am super amped to see the great reviews!
Between Replaced, Atomic Heart, The Last Case of Benedict Fox, Stalker, Redfall, Starfield, Warhammer, non Gamepass game Hogwarts Legacy, and my wife having a baby in July, this is going to be a very very busy year for me.
I know I am in the minority here, but I am sick of "Soulsborne" games. I just want to enjoy games without having to want to throw my controller at the screen.

Re: The Witcher 3 New Update (4.02) Improves Visuals & Performance On Xbox Series X|S
@AlwaysPlaying the Gunk doesn't get enough love! Super fun game!
Re: The Outer Worlds Gets Remastered Visuals In New 'Spacer's Choice Edition' For Xbox Series X|S
I own the physical copy, and none of the DLC's, so $6 to upgrade to the Spacers edition is a steal! Looking forward to this!

People on here trusting an IGN score......lol
Re: Poll: What Will Be Xbox 'Game Of The Year' In 2023?
For me its A Plague Tale: Requiem and Hogwarts Legacy. At this point, even if its a total masterpiece, Starfield does not deserve the win.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy's First Major Update Arrives On Xbox, Here Are All The Patch Notes
Lol! I don't know what half those words mean, so I just hope the weird washed out haze look the game has, is fixed or gets fixed.
