I say let it go. It either comes or it doesn't. Doesn't bother me. Just sick of seeing "this will be a good time to announce FF7 remake for Xbox" tweets lol.
I've not had the time thing yet. I just hate you have to wait five-ten seconds between each search. I just search from 1-20 on bing mobile and yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy on Xbox lol. I miss being able to spam it fast.
I currently switch between core and ultimate. Staying on core to see how much points I get in 3 months. Might stay on ultimate after that if the recent changes allow me to top up monthly with reward points.
Don't know if it's Series S only but now you can't have 60 with visuals. The option to change visuals and performance is greyed out when picking 60. Game looks like 4r5e so stuck playing 30 visuals😥
@Celestial_Keyblade I might try that thanks. I just need more storage first to play it but can't afford it yet and I'm wireless so each gigabyte is a two minute download. Have it stored on a Seagate hard drive but have heard it's better to download it again as moving it seems to affect it in some way.
@Pabpictu Series S or X? I'm on S so might be specific to that version. I'm hoping to save for the digital Series X but might have to wait until I get two to council tax free months.
@InterceptorAlpha that probably explains the No Man's Sky update delays then. @GamingFan4Lyf I'd go pc if I had the money, space, wasn't paranoid about getting a virus or hacked and knew beyond how to turn one on to surf the internet. Xbox versions of games seem crash happy like Borderlands 3. Even Forza Horizon 4 crashes when viewing cars and you press A to look at the interior.
Xbox always seems to have memory leak problems. Might explain why when I turn off my series s by the controller it doesn't fully switch off so I have to unplug or press the power button for a few secs to fully switch it off. Sometimes when I turn it on it's instant even though it's not in instant on mode and there were no updates in progress.
Bought it a few weeks ago. Tried looking inside car when viewing cars. Crash to dashboard every time on Series S. Uninstalled it because it annoyed me. Have they fixed it yet?
@RexPowercolt I bought Forza Horizon 4 while it was cheap. Not really a car person. Just got it to mess about in. When viewing cars and picking to look inside the car interior it crashed my Series S every time. That was a few weeks ago. I uninstalled it because even though I don't need that feature for normal gameplay it annoyed me I couldn't use it.
Finally let game pass ultimate lapse to get bog standard 3 month game pass core instead. Was no fun playing games to get achievements for more reward points to put towards free/almost free ultimate. Also was getting the gift card money instead because I've had issues where codes didn't work getting the subscription itself with reward points. Going to see if 3 months of point stacking gets me enough for a £20 gift card.
I'm debating on wether to get this now or in a few weeks because at the moment whenever I treat myself one of my dogs suddenly need to visit the vets. One was limping on and off since last bank holiday but seems to be better now, and she hurt the same leg the bank holiday before that jumping off the settee. Leaning more towards buy and let's see because I want to play it but don't want to suddenly end up skint. The joys of having dogs😥
The only difference I've noticed is the graphics look slightly less "messy" with performance mode off. Took zooming in and out on some mouldy food in the inventory to notice the difference lol.
Quality mode does do something. Can't explain it but it looks flat in performance mode. I picked up some mouldy food and in performance mode if you zoom in and out on it in the inventory it looks jagged, but in quality mode it looks cleaner. I'm on Series S.
Fina-effing-lly. Haven't touched the Xbox One version since someone on the forums said something about ownership of assets or something like that meaning consoles wouldn't be updated anymore. Can't wait.
@Nintendo4Sonic I don't mind the dpad. Just hate how clicky it is. Always preferred Xbox One controllers, especially that nice blue one. Would be nice if they made another with the usb c socket.
Indie games like Castleminer Warfare or Avatar Miner Paintball. Also games like Xenominer and Mount Your Friends. I miss the cheap indie games. Some were fun.
@InterceptorAlpha They probably could do that easily. Been a few times where I've accidentally pressed that damn share button while on Sea of Thieves insider. A message pops up saying this content can't be shared or something like that.
Xbox indies with online multiplayer and avatars. Miss games like avatar miner paintball, Castleminer Warfare, and a game called Avatar Dairansen which was like Dragonball Z with destructable player made stages.
Imagine if Phil just says "Join us in February for a special showcase" similar to when they shadow dropped Hifi Rush then just walks off stage with no first party games shown at the awards.
I love Starfield but for some reason it nearly always makes me tired when I play it. It's the reason why my save is days because I end up pausing it to take a break. I can't really explain it. I still need to actually buy it but for now I'm happy with Game Pass and owning the dlc through early access.
Loving the game because it has that Bethesda feeling which I can't really explain. Get some random close to dashboards though when visiting points of interests like industrial outposts and whatnot on Series S so been manually saving a lot. Also had a glitch where some spacers turned into streakers because they only had on underwear (plus the guy in the first shop on New Atlantis. Saw him sweeping in his underwear 🤣). I get tired though when playing it because there's less hostile encounters and it's relaxing just looking at things.
I do feel cloud is the future. I just hope they can get it so aiming feels like you're playing on a console. I completed a quest on Starfield yesterday on my tablet so I could watch Money for Nothing before I went to work lol. Once you get used to the slight delay it feels great.
@StylesT I'll never do this. I haven't even done that glitch for that armour in the cabinet. The only game I've actively glitched on was Gotcha Force on the GameCube to get a gotcha borg you could only get by attending a convention, and some you get by merging other borgs you've collected but they're glitched out but still fun to use, and a glitch to play as the last boss but all the moves are automatic so you just sit there bored as heck.
@Amigator Was the guy named xbottears playstation ambassador or something like that on twitter? Because I accidentally saw his one line comment but I highly doubt he knows the story and is just being a 🍆head. Then again doesn't really affect me because I'll probably never finish the game because I'll be looking at things, especially if they're shiny lol.
Anyone who joins, ask them if the landing zone is boxed in or can you walk or jetpack around the planet. I'd be fine if the area around the landing zone was Skyrim-sized and the barriers were just some 'unexplained phenomena' that kills you similar to the red sea in Sea of Thieves damaging your ship.
@Kaloudz I checked a few days ago on google but was hoping the console version is the same as all the other ones. I might try and grind reward points to put towards the lifetime access. I can't decide what games to play these days so would be nice to dip into some nostalgia from time to time. Or I can wait until February when I don't have to pay council tax and water.

Re: Talking Point: One Month On From Launch, How Are You Feeling About Starfield?
Loving the game because it has that Bethesda feeling which I can't really explain.
