Re: Sony Still Blocking Games From Xbox Users On NVIDIA GeForce Now

@S1ayeR74 I love it. It's the opposite of a Switch for better and worse. You can do so many things from emulation to playing AAAs but at the same time it's a bit buggy and unfinished on the software side. Locked down systems are more reliable and systems with more room for tinkering always come with bugs and weird stuff. Because I'm still playing Elden Ring on my Series S I've been playing Vampire Survivors and lots of ROMs on my Deck. I'm quite happy for this to remain as an Indie and emulation machine while I play the bigger games on my Xbox.

I’d give it a 7/10. Enjoyed the London map in a geographic sense but culturally it wasn’t London at all. It felt like a London envisioned by a French Canadian who watched a lot of Guy Richie films and filled it with posh stage school kids with terrible mockney accents. But I did enjoy running about on the rooftops of various landmarks.

Re: Xbox Cloud Gaming Is Now Officially Powered By 'Custom Xbox Series X Hardware'

Just played a bit of No Man's Sky on an M1 iPad Pro. It really looks great, no artefacts or banding for me. However, the lag was definitely noticeable, much more so than with GeForce and Stadia. There's a real sense of the button being pressed and then the action happening afterwards.

My Series S is in the office so I often console stream to the living room and it's the other way round, lots of artefacts and banding but not too much lag.

The lag makes a lot of the xcloud games unplayable for me. I'd rather play 720p/30 with minimal lag on an iPad screen than have good 1080/60 with noticeable lag.

Re: Talking Point: What Are Your Gaming Resolutions For 2021?

Same as everyone else, buy fewer games and dive into that backlog (Gamepass included). It actually helps that I'm not really excited for many of next year's releases on either of the platforms I use (Xbox and Nintendo). Hollow Knight Silksong and (possibly) Breath of the Wild 2 are the only ones that come to mind right now.

I also lost a ton of progress and stopped playing because if it. What really stings is that some of the tasks were incredibly tiresome (Black Hole of Battersea was a joyless slog, as was another task that seemed to consist of an endless drone flight through the air vents of a building). I really didn't want to end up doing these again. Ubisoft can do one.
