As almost flawless as XSX at launch was, I’ve been noticing annoying little things here and there. I’m glad that I haven’t had much controller issues anymore, but the guide option was acting weird as hell yesterday. I pressed it and after like 5 seconds it registered it and I felt the rumble and then nothing happened. This also made the party chat silent for me for whatever reason.
After a minute or so it worked again. It’s annoying, because I had this crap on Xbox One at some point too until it was gone forever.
Already purchased the Ultimate Edition last night since the Super Bowl was a blowout and not in my favor (lol) and played for 3 hours. I own the Ultimate Edition for PS4 and have played most of it already but the upgrade and wanting to play a shooter pushed me to cave into buying it again but I love the game so it’s okay. Hehe.
It definitely plays smoother and more responsive on Series X than it did on PS4 Pro obviously and it looks amazing. I’m glad that they didn’t put “modes” in the game and instead, made it 60FPS with HDR and at 4K as much as possible. Give me 60FPS, increase the resolution to a set rate and let’s go!!!
Keep Summer Game Fest away please and just bring back an online E3 showcase in a single weekend. Nothing worse than the drip feed style content we got last year.
I always have a mid level PC so it can never run newer games well, I use it for games like Pillars of Eternity or Fell Seal, but a purchase of Paradox by MS would almost certainly get me to get an above average PC the next time I upgrade. Luckily Paradox games, like the ones listed above, don’t really require high end machines.
I miss E3 so much, SGF was just so fucking drawn out and really poorly advertised, I missed a lot of it because I just didnt know when events were being run. Keighley is a good guy and I admire what he’s trying to do but if he wants it to be a success he needs to bring how long it goes on for down
I have a 1060 and have been able to run every single game in existence to a very serviceable framerate (90% of the time 60fps and above, with the occasional RDR2 or Cyberpunk being in the 30-40 range) and above average visual settings, much better than the console counterparts too btw.
It’s a lie that you need the latest and best hardware to get a good gaming experience on PC. 600 dollars although seemingly a lot is enough for an entire mid-range PC (minus the monitor and peripherals of course), and with the new release of RTX 3060 essentially doubling the VRAM over 1060 from 6 to 12GB, but also having tech like RT and DLSS built in, it shall make it even more of a futureproof investment. RT on PS5 and Series will not even be as good as the base performance of the 30 series, so that’s saying something, and you don’t need to wait for some point in the future to get tech like DirectML and all that, it’s already there three to four years ahead with the likes of DLSS. Also no pay for online, also multiple stores to choose from with their own sale seasons, free giveaways like the Epic Store, great regional pricing and store experience like Steam, so on.
Only thing is no stock of these cards at the moment, but there’s no hurry to get them right away, waiting for half a year is more than worth it. I’m so glad I skipped the 20 series, it was definitely a test run for Nvidia and 30 series is where the actual value to performance is good. Shall upgrade in the second half of the year or towards the end. It’s been a good near 4 years with this card but I have no regrets, and staying in midrange is perfectly fine for me! 1080-1440p at 60fps is simply a very realistic yet completely optimal experience that I hope becomes the base standard on console this gen, and I’m to see it happening.
Has there ever been playtimes scheduled on this site for the community? I’m thinking about making a thread to schedule an XboxEra Project Winter session; have been playing a lot with three friends but never a full party.
So… I also like E3 . or better, of the conferences: Xbox, Playstation, Ubisoft etc. but I liked the Summer Games format. it was several weeks with content. of course there are room for improvement. but it is something that is here to stay.
I feel bad for people trying to build a new PC right now. I’ve spent the last two weeks tinkering with a few of my older builds trying to “Upgrade” them into a serviceable state to be used for various applications, and I’ve had to use an old GTX 550 and a GTX 750ti because even budget range cards are non existent for prices that won’t make your eyes bleed.
yep lmao, now’s the worst time to buy a pc. Tbh it was pretty bad when I built mine too, but for different reasons. Back when RAM prices were through the goddamn roof, costing double of what they do now, money for which I could have gotten a proper SSD lol. Now, the problem is scalpers, hope that shit somehow gets fixed or they find new ways to bypass them, cuz they’re gonna be a part of every new product launch from now on.
