Whenever it releases I’ll def get it if only for the fact that I’ve owned every Xbox console since the OG Xbox…this new console is almost sure to be that last Xbox console so at the very least I’ll be able to have experienced every iteration of Xbox over its lifetime
I know everyone likes to use there points for free Gamepass but u can already get a month of Ultimate for $7 from the CD Key sites so I’ve been saving all my points (around 150,000 right now) for the release of the next Xbox gen and then I’m gonna use them all for a massive discount on whatever the new console will be (if they even do a new console lol jk)
Well its a list for sure a Games of the Year one? Ehh that’s debatable especially order wise…now of course listing anything is subjective by nature so I’ll end things with that (On a side note I got Balatro on my iPhone as well so I can get that dopamine hit on the go now lol)
New World Aeternum was a lot of fun (especially compared to there awful PC release years ago) and going thru the story I got a good 60 hours out of it but once u finish and hit max level the end game sucks so be warned lol
I was able to get this and Battlefield 1 no problem but was anyone able to get the Skate 3 DLC Danny’s Hawaiian Dream they were giving away as the day 2 freebie? Cause I wasn’t it kept showing up full price for me
I’m all for whatever Xbox wants to do…I’ve been with them since the OG Xbox and I’m willing to ride it out till they crash and burn or evolve into a better version of themselves…that said I also have been with Playstation since the PS2 and Nintendo since the SNES religiously buying both there hardware so it’s not like my entire gaming library rests just on them lol
I saw this on the Xbox sub Reddit this morning and it’s a pretty crazy story plus the fact that he walked away from it with only bruised ribs and a broken bone is insanely lucky all things considered…super nice of Microsoft to reach out to him about replacing the console tho (even tho I’m pretty sure in his post the guy said the Series S still worked even tho it’s really banged up)
Now that the deadzone problem has been patched (albeit still no slider in settings) I’ve noticed the biggest problem with the game is the Economy needs a total overhaul…mission payouts don’t even cover a fraction of repair costs and side missions being as resource intensive as well doesn’t help things
Got the Forza 4 Ultimate Edition from one of the CD Key sites for $12 last week and I imagine as the closer it gets to it’s delisting it will prob even be cheaper
Isn’t the only difference one is a code on a piece of paper and the other is a code on a disc…yes with the disc u can recoup some money back on the second hand market but that’s about it…i got over 500 games on Steam and not once was I ever upset about not having a physical disc or box to go along with them idk why consoles should be any different
I’m gonna give Stalker 2 a few patches before I jump in…im finally trying Genshin Impact for the first time…yes I know I’m prob the only person in the world who still hasn’t played it yet lol
Ahh yes the console that made me switch back to Playstation for the first time since the PS2…so I would have to say my fondest memory was…when it was over
NBA 2K23 having there servers closed already is a not so subtle way of telling ur customers u gotta upgrade to NBA 2K24…then next year repeat the cycle again and again and so on lol
@Fiendish-Beaver I got a good deal last holiday season on an 65” LG C3 OLED ….so not only was I getting 4k gaming finally but also OLED for the first time as well, so the upgrade to my old tv was like night and day…I don’t think I could ever go back lol
@OldGamer999 same…I finally upgraded to a 4k tv last Black Friday with 120hz, VRR, hdmi 2.1, Dolby vision and all that other fancy crap…I def don’t get near the same problems I had on my old tv
Games Radar said it was the “best but most broken game all year” and even tho they touted great graphics and atmosphere there biggest con was that it was absolutely riddled with bugs that range from immersion busting to straight game breaking so I have a feeling I’ll be waiting a few patches for this one
I just bought the Ultimate edition (I really wanted the Lego cars pack lol) for only $13 bucks on one of the CD key sites (Eneba I think?) but yea I knew waiting till the last minute was a good idea…and I was told procrastination never pays off 😏
I kno the Series X has like 800gb of space but I feel like I filled it pretty quick…I kno a external hard drive is cheaper then an SSD but I’ve gotten so use to quick resume and my laziness in general for uninstalling/reinstalling had me buy an SSD card lol
@somnambulance Silksong of course but I just watched the “To A T” trailer and I don’t think think I can unsee it lol…even for an obvious kids game that ***** is so cringe it was painful to watch lol
