Speaking of last-gen games, IGN reviewed the PS4/XB1 version and gave it a 4 ("Bad"). The verdict at the end says "get a refund":

quote:

If your only option right now is playing Cyberpunk 2077 on either of the base console platforms, I highly suggest you don’t play at all until its many terrible performance issues are fixed. And if you’ve already bought it and had an experience similar to what I’ve described, you should absolutely get a refund if possible. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions are simply not in an acceptable state, and it makes me sad to think that so many people are having their first Cyberpunk 2077 experience ruined this way – because when it works, it’s a fantastic RPG.

quote:

Please don't play Cyberpunk 2077 on a base Xbox One or PS4.

I got a Series X. I haven’t had an Xbox since the 360. I’m trying to login with my old gamer tag (to the Xbox live app not the actual Xbox yet), but I guess you can’t do that anymore? Nor does the email I’m 99.9% sure I had on the account show up with any gamertag. Should I just start from scratch or is there a way to recover this stuff? Xbox support is a mess.

You can try resetting the password at account.microsoft.com, just keep in mind that you can't merge them anymore so if you have an account you already use on pc for windows 10 or something you should use that one.

That just prompts me to login with my live account that is with the gmail I know used to be on my old gamertag but then it wants me to select a new gamertag. There’s no way I can tell to actually login with a gamertag anymore.

True, true

Any advice on how to keep an eye out for a Series X at this point? I thought I had signed up for a tracker website, but missed that some went up yesterday at Walmart. Or just grab one in 2022 when covid is over?

That means your gamertag got reset, just select a new one and your old achivements/stats/purchases should still be there if it was the same email address.

This was just for the gamertag itself, not the rest of the account. The threat was "if your account stays dormant we're going to reset your gamertag to something generic and then your original name is up for grabs if someone claims it."

I’m saying sack it, bought the kids a dirt cheap PS4 pro for all the exclusives they have for my kid’s Christmas present, and am waiting till the supply issue is fixed and I can get controllers and games thrown in in a bundle deal.

This is what I did but with a One S. My kid hasn't had a console in ages so with everything on gamepass he's gonna be set for a long while.

Codemasters being bought by EA is a good thing for GamePass ultimate, the gift that keeps on giving. Micromachines battle royale (fall guys style) please

Bad thing for Codemasters, though. Brexit must be really hitting them hard if they're looking for a publisher to buy them. I don't know why they don't ditch the godawful Driveclub team they bought since they've just made two crap games and drag the whole studio down.

Apparently Take Two was going to buy them before EA jumped in with a higher offer. Now EA's got them they'll just be forced to make Need for Speed & F1 games until inevitably being reduced to a shell of a studio after all talent leaves and EA finally shuts them down. Will suck seeing the Dirt franchise die with the last game being Dirt 5, was hoping Dirt 3.0 would come eventually and that they'd give Grid another shot since the reboot was generally good and just lacked content.

This is why I've basically checked out of game news stuff besides games being announced and reviews when released. There've been a bunch of games I've enjoyed because I went in expecting to be entertained when folks who followed the hype went in expecting to have their minds blown. There are tons of, like, 8.2 out of 10 games that are perfectly enjoyable if you don't start out expecting trees that grow in real time and AI that can do your taxes for you.

I bet that depends on your propensity to enjoy anime. I like some anime here and there but playing Code Vein's first mission I just couldn't stop wishing it was more Souls and less anime.

I always wear my wedding ring. It's my trademark.

400 games on game pass and I'm playing Skyrim again. At least this time I can use cool mods (coming from PS4). Still, it's like a completely different game with 60fps mod and other stuff.

Yea I was not prepared for this much anime despite being warned. It reminds of those god eater games, there’s some interesting rpg mechanics there but the combat is off. It’s not arcadey enough to be fun or visceral enough to be interesting like the soulsborne games.

Seems bad. I’m not going to listen to the dumb story and I’d rather play dark souls or the surge again.

Surge 2 was definitely a surprise enjoy from gamepass. After playing some other naff souls knockoffs it was the only one that felt good and needing more budget so I don't have to fight the same boss 4 friggan times

I just hope EA Games allows Codemasters to do their own thing. I just don't want the F1 series to be meddled with, it's finally getting good after years of being just an okay F1racing sim. And it's the only thing Codemasters puts out that is even decent at all. EA use to actually make their own F1 series too, but the last one was in 2003.

I like Darksiders 3 too. It's another one with goofy feeling combat though. There is what seems like zero feedback on most attacks but moves string together smoothly enough that I enjoy it. Plus you can easily skip the dumb story and still have a good time.

I've always liked the Darksiders games. I like that they are just balls to the wall stupid video game story and that they have a mostly chill pace to them.

I'm annoyed that Fallout 4 has a FPS unlock mod as well but the modder (with good intentions) also did a bunch of graphics and resolution changes to try and get the Xbox One to play it at 60fps (lol) so the game looks like poo poo with it on. I don't know why the Xbox's team hyped giving Fallout 4 60fps back in October and we're now in December and nothing has been said since about it.

Just got a Series X. Are there any titles or anything in the store that really show off the graphics capabilities of this? I'll be picking up Valhalla, and I already have Watchdogs Legion. The speed in loading games is nice, and I've subscribed to gamepass for now cause it was cheap, but I wasn't sure if there was anything out there that really looked impressive yet, or significantly better than what my One S was capable of.

I've heard that Gears 5 is very impressive. I'm not a huge Gears fan but I plan on giving it a shot just to see how it looks
