My younger brother, who has been a playstation user exclusively since the psp launched after being nintendo only, bought the XSX because of the acti-bliz deal.
I’ve been everything but xbox for years but yeah I bought the XSX for UGP last year.
@FraserG I beat the game today and wanted to ask, did you encounter any framerate issues or small moments where the game freezes for like 1 or 2 seconds in your playthrough?
Aksing because they became so frequent for me from the midway point to the end that it soured my entire experience sadly. Overall loved it but that was just unnacceptably bad IMO.
Not counting gifts I bought 17 games.
3 digital switch games. 14 physical games including 1 3ds game, 2 ds games, 1 xbox one game, 2 ps4 games, 2 ps3 games and 6 switch games.
Also 7 gifts for my birthday of which 6 where switch games and 1 was a psp game.
Also not counting these yet since they won’t arrive until next week but I ordered all 3ds FE games excluding the incredibly expensive fates revelations. So that’s another 4 games. So 28 games total.
I think with time we’ll see more UGP games that aren’t on Xone. IIRC Microsoft’s promise to keep supporting the one was only until November of 2022 so after that we should see first party XSX/XSS only games too.
Continuing tokyo mirage sessions #FE encore on the switch and after a few years of wanting to play it I finally started playing folklore on the ps3. Also a bit of muse dash on the switch here and there
Playing tokyo mirage session #FE encore on the switch after I dropped the wiiU version about 3 years ago. Also some races in forza horizon 5 on the XSX.
Beat bravely default on the 3ds yesterday and it was absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to play bravely second and bravely default 2.
Mass effect is really great so far but IMO there haven’t been any notable additions in January and February so far, neither in AAA terms, B tier terms and indie terms. Ofcourse stalker 2 got delayed so that doesn’t help.
Hoping we will be getting lost in random soon through EA play.
Well yeah, N64 version is the original emulated. xone version is a remaster with a lot of updates. You’d expect a remaster that’s changed to play better and more user friendly to be better than the original.
I’ve almost done all 21 story missions (including all the story submissions like vocho) and I don’t mind the dialogue. Something I even smile at how cheesy and wholesome it is.
Of the 3 games I wanted to play I own 1 on ps4 and 1 on ps5. River city girls is a shame though, wanted to play that but not in the mood for it yet. Maybe if it’s like super short I’ll install and play it tomorrow.
I was actually playing ni no kuni 2 on the ps5 and castlevania on the switch but got surprised with an Xbox Series X and ultimate gamepass yesterday so I started playing halo 1.
Besides that I installed bug fables, carrion, dead cells and some other games I’ve wanted to play for a while now.
@KelticDevil I thought so too, if I remember correctly sony published the game on both ps3, ps4 and pc. they're even cross-play and cross-save between these 3.
Bart smit only lists a game when they have 100% confirmation from the dev/publisher so thet probably put this on their website a bit to early. I think the change of this being real is about 90%.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 2-3)
Fire emblem awakening on the 3DS. Almost done with the game and it’s great. It’s my first FE game too.
I might take a look at the psnow library now that I have a subscription.
No xbox or switch this weekend.

Makes sense. EA games usually get added after about 6 months.

Animal crossing happy home paradise on switch. Enjoying it lot so far. Put a lot of hours into it yesterday.
