So I have Fallout 3 GOTY and a couple of days ago I loaded it up but had to go to the Microsoft store in order to “install” each of the 5 DLC additions.
Wtf is going to happen in the future for this and other games with a similar issue? I guess everyone is screwed at that point.
I jumped into Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II after putting it aside for 20 years, lol. At the time I didn’t like the reuse of assets from the original, but enough time has passed (!) for me to have peace with it.
I just wasn’t getting my fill of sci-fi when playing Starfield, and now that’s been corrected.
Well I’m still playing Starfield and that really counts as something! It is very flawed though, the missions are extremely bland and need some of that Fallout humor.
@Dan1283 Hmmm I’m level 13 and have done a lot of missions/quests and have only seen 1 slight bug. Very minor, an enemy spun around for a few seconds after being dispatched. Playing on XSX.

Nothing tempting, no…
Re: Pick One: Which Game From This Year's Xbox Showcase Are You Most Excited For?
Chose Avowed… releasing soon, and can’t be sure that some of the others won’t be cancelled lol.
Re: Mad Max Dev Takes Offense At 'Nonsense' Criticism Of The 2015 Video Game
Great game! Not many sequels I really want, but this and Amalur are at the very top.

@Echtzeit Thanks.
Re: Review: Little Kitty, Big City (Xbox) - A Purrfect Addition to Xbox Game Pass
I’ll download this later today. I like to mix lighter stories into my game rotation.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Mind If The Next Xbox Was A Portable Console?
Not interested at all, bring on a beefy next-gen machine!
Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon In May 2024
Is there any expectation that Little Kitty will have good gameplay?
Re: Former Xbox Exec Shares Achievement Sound That Was 'Rejected' At Microsoft
Yeah that’s an old (and ghastly) Nokia tone if I ever heard it lol.
Re: Fallout 4's Quality Mode Is Reportedly Bugged On Xbox Series X|S Right Now
I’m sticking with Fallout 3 for the time being on XSX, that’s playing well (for the most part). I did encounter some graphical glitches in one area.
Re: Atlus Reveals Gameplay Of 'Metaphor: ReFantazio' Ahead Of October Xbox Launch
Yeah the enhanced edition is surely coming, it totally sucks when you want to jump right in!
Re: Bethesda's Todd Howard Says 'Really Good Updates' Are Coming For Starfield
@StonyKL no, lol. Fallout 4 is much better at all things, including writing & quests. I wouldn’t compare the two.

Re: Talking Point: Which Backwards Compatible Xbox Games Still Hold Up In 2024?
I’m playing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords, and that looks and plays well. Plus I have a game manual in the box!
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Receives Three Updates In The Same Day For Xbox Series X|S
I would love to play it, but this game still has a lot of technical issues.
Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite Thing About Xbox Right Now?
There’s a lot to love about the Xbox.
Gamepass, backwards compatibility, quick resume, automatic “best version” when downloading games, cloud saves(!), the UI.
My only super minor criticism is that I wish there were better dynamic backgrounds, I’m surprised they don’t have better ones.
Re: Xbox Game Pass Suffers Rare 'Cancellation' Due To Change Of Publisher
Looks awful to me! Won’t miss.
Re: Phil Spencer Praises Recent Xbox Game Pass Release 'Return To Grace'
I’ll try to check it out, downloaded it a few days ago.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 24-25)

Re: Review: Banishers: Ghosts Of New Eden - Emotional Spooks & Solid Scraps In 17th Century New England
Will definitely get it when it gets cheaper!

If it hits GP I’ll check it out.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Dev Gives His 'Optimistic' Thoughts On Xbox-To-PS5 Rumours
This would kill Xbox console sales and push Sony into truly untouchable territory. Not liking the wobble I see here.
Re: Starfield 'Biggest' Update So Far Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Thanks going to update now so I can play without delay tonight!
Re: Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! Yay I made it through last night lol.
Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite Xbox First-Party Release Of 2023?
Yeah Starfield, but dozens of hours later it’s still 75/100. Just went through a long stealth segment and it just wasn’t well designed.
Re: Xbox Still Working On Baldur's Gate 3 Saving Issue, Taking It 'Very Seriously'
I shouldn’t be surprised yet I am lol.
Re: Starfield's Recent Review Rating Has Dropped To 'Mostly Negative' On Steam
75/100 for me, still playing. It’s enjoyable but constantly underwhelming and disappointing. Bland storytelling is my biggest grievance!
Re: Merry Christmas And Happy Holidays From The Team At Pure Xbox!
Merry Christmas to the staff and readers here at PX! Get those batteries ready for next year!
Re: Feature: Pure Xbox's Game Of The Year 2023
Well I’m still playing Starfield and that really counts as something! It is very flawed though, the missions are extremely bland and need some of that Fallout humor.
Merry Christmas to all!
Re: Poll: Three Years On, What Do You Think Of Quick Resume For Xbox Series X|S?
Excellent feature, I use it everyday.
Re: Site News: PX Fans, Would You Kindly Fill Out Our Reader Survey?
Yeah anytime there’s a question about income that’s not cool. I skipped this one too!
Re: Bethesda Delays Fallout 4's Xbox Series X|S Upgrade Into 2024
Wow this is bogus, they should have met their commitment to release the update this year.
Re: Review: Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora - Ubisoft Delivers A Kid-Friendly But Bland Na'vi Adventure That Needed A Stronger Narrative
Another “wait for the cheap bin” release. Shouldn’t be long!
Re: Talking Point: Have You Splashed Out On Any Big Black Friday Purchases Yet?
Nothing so far.
😳
Re: Bethesda's Starfield Drops To 'Mixed' User Reviews On Steam
Mixed is correct! I’m still playing it, but there is a deep lack of creativity and repetition baked into every aspect of the game.
Re: Talking Point: Overall, How Successful Has 2023 Been For Xbox?
I gave it a B, but Starfield is the only 1st party game that I’ve stuck with for any length of time.
B-?
Re: Digital Foundry Thinks 60FPS Starfield Is Now 'More Viable' On Xbox Series X
It’s going to happen as soon as I stop playing lol.
Re: Starfield Fails To Make Shortlist For 'Game Of The Year' At The Game Awards 2023
Fun but dull — I assume there was a deliberate desire not to overlap the dynamic storytelling seen in Fallout.
Re: Three Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (November 9)
Interested in Dungeons 4.
Re: Square Enix Confirms Early 2024 Launch For Final Fantasy 14 Beta On Xbox
I keep meaning to play this but haven’t been able to put in the time... I’m constantly distracted by something else!
Re: Report: Starfield Was The Best-Selling U.S. Video Game In September
@Dan1283 Hmmm I’m level 13 and have done a lot of missions/quests and have only seen 1 slight bug. Very minor, an enemy spun around for a few seconds after being dispatched. Playing on XSX.
Re: Limited Run CEO Claims Walmart May Be Dropping Physical Xbox Games Soon
Well that’s an excellent way to start the week, with bad news!
Re: CMA Criticises 'Tactics Employed By Microsoft' Despite Agreeing To ActiBlizz Deal
A grand waste of time for all parties involved except for gaming websites, who were granted a long string of news updates.
🤑
Re: Six Games Are Confirmed For Xbox Game Pass In November So Far
Persona 5 Tactica & maybe Dungeons 4 if that looks good.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 7-8)
@Kraven Any non-spoiler guidance you can give regarding Baldurs Gate 3? I’ll be jumping in sometime soon.
I originally bought it on gog but there were technical issues so I decided to wait for a few patches.
Re: Talking Point: One Month On From Launch, How Are You Feeling About Starfield?
@tallythwack Hmmm I’ll check out the Crimson line, thanks.
Re: Talking Point: One Month On From Launch, How Are You Feeling About Starfield?
The best 7/10 game I have ever played. I’m still waiting for a good mission (aka quest) to appear, they are the dullest I have seen in a game.
This boring collection of tasks really drag things down, and that’s even before getting into game mechanics, which are clumsy.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think Of Cocoon So Far On Xbox Game Pass?
Not my thing, better luck next time.
Re: Review: The Lamplighters League - A Solid Slice Of Turn-Based Strategy That's In Need Of Some Patching ASAP
