Still playing on series s, I don't understand why they think of a pro console when developpers continue to make games for the PS4, and don't take advantages of all the capacities of the ps5 and xbox series.
Just finished elden ring last night, I think I Will begin Hi Fi Rush , or Bayonetta 3 on switch, or anything on my back log . Never thought Elden ring would take me so much time and become such an obsession but nowI think I'm done with it.
Elden ring, finally getting almost good at it. And a game that I can't talk about since I signed a NDA . I didn't know that company were giving early access at random players like that but it's cool.
Hi fi rush is m'y kind of game so really happy to see this out today, Forza looks amazing but no release date is a bummer, red fall looks good, Minecraft Legend I don't care about it and same thing for elder scroll online so it's s a C for me.
Seems I am the only one waiting for this game, I hope it will be good, Gollum steals the ring from is cousin, hides in a mountain until Bilbo takes the ring from him , then gets captured by saurons minions,released to follow Frodo and try to get back the ring from him to finish burning in lava.
I bought elden ring when it was on sale so I put time and efforts to play this game but I don't have fun playing this game right now, only frustration . No direction, obtuse story, hard to grasp contrôles, lots of missing info , had to watch some youtube guide to help me . I think this game is just not for me and I don't understand why it won so many goty awards.
Started Elden Ring and ouch, so punishing I will try to persevere but not sure to be good enough for this game , I watched some beginners guide on YouTube to help me but it’s so frustrating to be killed by some mobs and loose all yours runes then try to recover them and get killed again. Not my goty for sure..
The developers just push too hard on the machine to have nice textures, full of particle effects , densier foliage and more NPC, better ai and incredible lighting effects but at the cost of frame rate and resolution, just take a Xbox one game and play it on the series x and you will have 4K 60fps, Monster Hunter rise is a switch game so the series x will have no stress at all running this game at 4K 60fps.
It’s a hard sell , many of these games are on game pass or on sale at 80% almost one week out of two , the asking price should be really low for me to think about adding this service .
Nintendo is good at this too , metroid prime 4 and Zelda tears of the kingdom are in the development limbo for way too long. It’s not good to announce too early , people gets frustrated waiting for these games to come out and when they get pushed back the frustration increase and when the game finally come out it better be good because people get very high expectations with the long development, it’s better when they announce games within 6 months and deliver a good game at the expected release date.
@Scummbuddy thanks but I already knew that and I just finished the game this morning and it’s already erased from my console and I don’t intend to replay this game not my kind of humor .
Will try to finish high on life , the talking guns are so annoying and the music in is so bad but I have to finish it. And I will surely play goat simulator 3 with my daughter this game is so much fun we laugh non stop at all the crazy things that you can do in this silly game .
For me 2022 was a good gaming year with game pass and the series s , I hope 2023 will be as good . I like indie games and AA , I hope the promised AAA games from Microsoft will be good and that developers will stop making cross gen games and put all their efforts in the series generation so that we will finally see the true power of these machines.
Merry Christmas everyone happy gaming year and for the staff at Pure Xbox continue your hard work and keep the news and reviews coming you are the best thanks.
@Kaloudz It’s easy you exchange your points for Xbox gift cards 4800pts =5 $ so you put a game you want on wishlist wait for a sale then redeem your points for gift cards then buy your game with it.
I have a strange feeling that square enix will be bought by Sony and that they already have a secret deal and if Microsoft can finalize the deal with Activision blizzard they will officially announce that square enix is part of Sony .
Tried a couple of these games but never got into them scarlet nexus was big deception for me , and outer wild too strange , maybe I should try pedestrian before it leaves .
I played through scorn in 3 days and had a great time with it 62 metascore ,I played persona 5 during one week and was so bored with it that I just quit playing 94 metascore, if the game runs well have decent performance and good controls the rest is just a matter of taste.
I was sure that this game was going to be divisive because of the constant chatter from the weapons , but I will try it and make my own idea if it’s for me or not .
Like he said timing is everything and you missed bad on this occasion, you left your fans in the unknown , all you had to do is at least give us something like a couple release date or extended gameplay of some of your upcoming games not just a gamepass promo reel.
Still waiting for a sale , was hoping for little price cut for the game awards, maybe at the Boxing Day but someday I will buy it .Anyway my backlog is still way too big.
Worst Xbox year, no big reveal or update just a game pass publicity , no big award either Sony and Nintendo grabbed all the big awards , let’s forget 2022 and hope 2023 will be the Xbox year.
I only buy AAA games full price on Nintendo switch since they rarely goes to sale , all the rest I play are either on game pass or I bought them for sale or even better for sale with Microsoft rewards points that I traded for gift cards .
On switch up the review for the switch version of Chained echoes is stellar 94/100 a true masterpiece. Game pass is really good I would have bought this game for sure on switch but I don’t need to with this fantastic service.
Again a cross gen cross platform mess of a game , probably developed on ps4 hardware and ported on Xbox , pc and ps5 , end result the best version is on ps5 the rest struggles with the game, release just before Christmas to have big sales and then release patch to clean un up all the mess , voilà the good old recipe for AAA games.
Will definitely wait for a sale and many patches before buying it for the series s.I just bought cp2077 during Black Friday deals and now the games plays well on series s .
