Called me local Walmart and asked if they had the new Series X in and the lady says no but we do have the Series S. I show up at the store and it’s the One S.
I have not done any research apologies if this is ridiculously stupid, will an XB1 scuf work on the new console? Turtle beach headset? Seems like the headset should the scuf doubtful
Even though I have no lead on an XSX (cough cough give up the tracker rv12 ) I purchased the COD cross gen bundle so when I do get one I don't have to rebuy
FWIW I got a stock alert email from Walmart 11 mins ago saying the disc version was in stock. Obviously was gone by the time I saw it, but could mean there's hope for sporadic stock. None of the trackers I'm on popped an alert saying theres stock, though...so it must have been super light
Microsoft’s naming structure is so bad. It all started with them skipping Xbox 2 in favor of Xbox 360 because of the optics of Xbox 2 vs PS3. They felt it would make people perceive their console to be older or not current gen.
Has anyone played the new assassins creed yet? Don’t care if on new console or not just was wondering if it was good. I’ve really enjoyed the last two.
I wish they’d get some more of the abstergo lore stuff going, I really enjoyed that in the first few games in the series
1. If you are looking for a headset and money isn't a problem, go with the Steelseries Arctix 9. They are wireless, beautiful, and can connect to bluetooth so you can rock discord or music whenever. 20-24 hours battery life. Fully charges in about 1-2 hours. The only downside is they are $200. Honestly, they are 100% worth it though. 2. Call of Duty: Cold War looking beautiful on it. So does Gears Tactics, which leads me to point #3 3. Gears Tactics is a great XCOM/Wasteland 3 type of RTS. On game pass aka free as fuck. It's a delight. And the Gears of War world works amazing with this type of game.
That abstergo/animus thing is so convoluted at this point. Id be fine with them just doing the different time periods and abandoning the present day stuff.
It was sweet in the first couple of games, they’ve essentially abandoned it though now and there’s no cohesive story to it I don’t think.
New sex box arrived today and was one of those pre order delay and might not get until 12/31 people through amazon. just FYI for those that may be in the same boat
Just pay for GamePass and choose between 100+ games. I mean, Planet Coaster is now on GamePass? What more could you want?
speaking of GamePass...have been playing What Remains of Edith Finch the last few days...really fun interactive story
Speaking of game pass, I had no clue about the rewards points system until yesterday. Pretty cool, I was gonna play games anyways, now I have a tiny shot of winning raffles or redeeming Xbox bucks or some shit.
Gears 5 is already optimized for Series X and apparently looks amazing. I didn't realize Jedi: Fallen Order was gonna be on GamePass, game is really great so far. Combat is hard as shit.
Yeah, the story is great so far. I upped the difficulty right off the bat, and I've been getting my shit rocked though. Getting Witcher 3 death march or Dark Souls vibes; feels like I've died 50 times already. Was stoked I barely made it through this part on my first try.
I had to stop in Walmart today and there was two Series S sitting in their case. I got a series x and wasn't interested in a series s but surprised to see some sitting there. Maybe they are holding them until black Friday
Antonline. They had a bundle up earlier with the Series S, extra controller, 3 months GPU, and Minecraft Dungeons for $400. I saw a tweet from Wario64 that it was about to go live. That dude has been clutch for so many people trying to beat bots.
I think GamePass would stress me out. I pick up and a game and zone in on it for a long time. I'm one of those "explore all the nooks and crannies" of a game. Do they offer a free month? Maybe I'll give it a go and see how it works for me.
Anyone play Gears Tactics and have any thoughts? Probably gonna pick it up on PC after I finish Valhalla
Not sure about the free month, but I think it's worth the investment -- even if you don't get the full value every month. When games are on game pass, they're usually on it for a long time, so you'll almost certainly have a chance to finish the games you start.
I played it on PC at launch. Solid XCOM clone. Would recommend on GamePass, if purchasing standalone, wait for 50% off imo
Does it have that same level of customization that leads to getting invested in the team like XCOM does?
You can’t customize the 3 main protags in the game other than their armor, but any gears you recruit along the way are customizable like xcom.
