@Kezelpaso Yes, I found multiplayer to be really bad. It's been out for how long now and still has so many issues. I'm really hoping for a good enjoyable game this year.
@Chaudy have to disagree there. Massive difference in gameplay experience from MW19 and Cold War. Also try going from Black Ops 3 or 4 to one of those other games and the difference is again quite evident.
MW19 and Cold War are both far better. I managed to get a refund on Vanguard after buying it the recent sale. I was thinking it can't really be as bad as ppl are saying, but it was. Hopefully MW222 will be better.
Microsoft not messing about. Great news for gamepass! Will be interesting to see what Sony does with their PS plus offering. If they start releasing games day 1 on that service I may never have to buy a game again. π
@MaccaMUFC Philips TVs are usually well reviewed. From what I've heard stay away from LG nano TVs. I had an awful experience with a Philips monitor that was supposed to be rated as one of the best for xbox 4k gaming. It was a VA panel, so these ones might be better. But if u were playing a game that had was meant to be at night the backlight bleed was that bad over the whole screen it looked grey. Sent it back and got another one and had the same issue. I'm still loving the CX, and if u have a dark room would def recommend trying to get one in the sales.
That's really strange looking. I'm not sure if I like it or hate it. π Def don't like the white at the back of the controller. Would have been a lot better if it was black or that transparent yellow.
Can't people like both? They're both really good consoles. Both have their pros and cons. The biggest difference between the two is the controller. The PS5 controller is soo different to what has gone before. But for online shooters the elite series 2 is the best. I'd love a controller combining both, cross everything the elite series 3 will do it.
Wouldn't touch a Philips Momentum monitor with a barge poll. I went for a 32" 4K one that was meant to be highly rated for consoles towards the end of 2019 for both the consoles and PC. The BLB was unbelievable, fifa and other games were unplayable. I got a replacement and had the same issue. Got a refund and bought a BenQ then ordered an LG CX OLED for the consoles. I would have no hesitation recommending the LG CX for gaming. Its honestly amazing, and still has the wow factor even though you think you should be used to it by now.
Don't agree that everything should be available on all platforms. As a few have said it gives the platform its identity. Microsoft are constantly hammered about having no exclusives. Sony is constantly praised for their exclusives. Microsoft wouldn't have bought the company if it wasn't to add more exclusives to the Xbox catalogue / Gamepass. In saying that I think they'll probably let Elder Scrolls 6 be multi platform. As that one will bring in soo much money selling everywhere.
Great set of games, but seems a bit pointless if there is nothing being added or improved. Guess it'll get the games another release on the store to try and squeeze out some more from them.
Voted for FIFA 2021 since PES 2021 was just a reskin of 2020 as they're moving to the unreal engine and they want 2022 to be their proper next gen release. I have loved master league for years but they really need to give it some attention.
Need the elite controller v3 to have haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Though would also like to keep the trigger slider options from the v2. As it's brilliant for online shooters.
Can't see there being a new PGR game, since Forza is soo good and next motorsport version has been kinda shown. Rebrand maybe? Flight simulator is def coming out. Did viva pinata do that well previously to warrant a new version?
They did so well because they told playstation owners last year that they'd have to buy the ultimate edition to get the upgraded PS5 version. Then a couple of months later the ultimate edition is added to PSN+. Sly company
People freaking out about how much electricity a console is using. π Will be interesting when they have pushed everyone to having electric cars. Will have loads to whine about then.
Think I'll get this at some point, when it's heavily discounted. Don't think a 6 hour game is worth Β£45. I'm blaming Gamepass and the free monthly games. π Very wary of buying games now, as they usually end up getting added to gamepass after I buy them.
I can't see this relating to Blooper, since the medium is already out. They seem to be talking about a game that's not released and isn't currently exclusive to Xbox.
@Menchi Actually "Xbox console exclusive" is pretty accurate for games that are only available on the Xbox console. You can't get an Xbox console exclusive on a PlayStation console. Key word being "console", a PC is not a console.
Anyway, I think Microsoft really need this to be completely exclusive to Xbox (and PC π) to impact Sony.
I'm sure when I die GTA 5 will still be going and Rockstar won't have released another GTA game at all. It'll be like getting doom to run on a fridge, only they'll claim its a different version with some added clothes to make everyone buy it again for the 100th time.

Re: Xbox Series X Scalping Prices Remain High Whilst PS5 Reportedly Drops 30%
