Gave MW5 ago. Plays amazing on series X. Can't wait to go online & play some co-op after work. Been a long time I was this excited about a game on console.
120fps for first personen games makes a big difference in my opinion. Going from masterchief collection back to anny other fps game is really noticeable.
You only know what you're missing once you actually played 120fps for a while & then go back to 60.
Was really excited about the game. But... Watching some impressions/previews on youtube from the alpha. There was still a lot wrong with the game.
Also, there is only a handful of actual Left for dead devs working on the game. And finally, the way the preorders tiers look & their talk of future content (ability cards/characters/new zombies.) looks a lot like their previous game (Evolved). Especially looking at Evolved, I really hope people will not blindly buy into this.
Gave alien isolation a go. Feels like playing a new game. Plays sooo much better. Same for halo wars 2 running so smooth now. MS really have to push this more in they’re mainstream marketing. This is game changer level of added value for the system.
Mhh bought 4 X EA Play. I could redeem 3 witch sets met to 12-31-2023. Now I have one left & I get A message that extended duration will not be added. But 12-31-2023 plus 4 months should work =/?
@BlueOcean Don't think they can without actually rebuilding the game. The original master was lost. The HD collection is based on an older build of the game.
What a comeback. Would love to give this a go. But all my friends are still on Playstation. Does the game, play well with randoms? (is that even an option?) Or is this the kind of game where you get spawn killed when you leave the starting area?
@Fenbops
Well let's hope, not really a fan of Warhammer in general, but I really like the setting & high-level lore. (Mainly know the series from a couple of books & CG animations.) Dawn of war I could never get into. More of a halo wars, C&C & starcraft player.
So far the only Warhammer game I really enjoyed was "space marine". A lot of 40k games are rough around the edge. If it plays as well as it looks I am in.
Ms alreaddy is the most open platform of the three. No other platform gives users as manny choices on how & where to play. Poeple who are PS or Nintendo only have enough options to still play those games.
I am all for letting as manny as possibke enjoy all games. But this is about strengthening the MS brand/platform.
& sony pays money so other platforms cant play certain games. So I have no issue with them missing out on some games. Nintendo as far as I am concerned can have all the things they can get to run on the system.
Instant-on stays on, I want my games to be up to date if I have time to sit down to play a game. Also, use the download feature in the game pass app frequently. Start the download whilst working. When you're home the game is ready to play.
Because of this & the ACG review pretty low expectations. Now 2 hours in and I am enjoying my time with it so far. Really want to know what happens next.
My Xbox will stay instant on. Not because of startup time. But for automatic updates. And remote installation of games through the app. So that games are ready to play once I do sit down with some time to spare.
Exclusive would be nice for the fans. I don't think a game gets better or worse being exclusive. I like for everyone to enjoy all the games.
But as a huge 80/90 movie fan, this would be HUGE as an exclusive. But I really wonder if Indiana jones as an IP still holds as much power as it used to. & if Disney would allow this license to go exclusive?
(ps. I hope for a story like the old ones. Not like cristal skull or some politically correct adventure. Indi needs his class filled with love-struck girls =P)
@Kefka2589 no their not, their drawings and poligons. The game was acceptable 10 years ago. This is once again people trying to get on a moral high ground. There is nothing wrong with the game. Just like senran games or the doa franchise.
I really enjoy my time with the game. And have to say I have played way buggier games. Game is wel worth a play right now. (at least on next gen.) Exited for what they will add in te future =)
@JayJ Just tried on series X Runs MUCH better than on the one X. Definitely play it on series x otherwise you are stuck with 30fps. (variable frame rate on the one X made me nauseous.)
Also, new here.
Found my previous go-to site that covers all consoles a bit too toxic, especially regarding MS with its smallest install base.
Checking in on Pure Xbox daily. Great job on objective writing and up to date news.
And so far, I really like the general attitude of other users =)
10 hours in (series X). Not a lot of bugs. Game runs butter smooth. Great experience all around. It froze for 5 seconds 4 times in total after which it just went on. Fantastic game. Just like the witcher, this game will only get better.
The controller is amazing. All the little changes are welcome. But the biggest improvement for me is the reduced latency. The difference was jarring. I got rid of my elite series 2, because it felt like having lag in comparison.
The X is an amazing system so far. Too bad cyberpunk got delayed. Biggest issue right now is not having anny true next gen games to play. Quick resume is hit & mis. The new controller is amazing, the lower input delay makes such a big difference. I hope they come with a update for the elite series 2 controller. More quit than the one x.
@Grumblevolcano I rather see a company buy a studio than pay one so that a specific platform gets a lesser product. Or not to play a certain game altogether for a certain amount of time. Investing in first-party vs investing in devaluing content on other platforms.
Really looking forward to this one. It being on GamePass gives everyone the chance to trie it out even if they would normally not play a game like this.
