Played the game from start to finish. It’s amazing. Other than some stuttering upon entering new/large areas, it was a good experience. No crashes. Played on a One X.
On Xbox, I prefer digital these days. I used to be staunchly physical only, but with how committed Xbox is to backward compatibility, digital makes more sense on Xbox than with any other console.
It was a great feeling setting up my Xbox One for the first time and seeing so many of my 360 games ready to install.
MS has at least revealed the look of the console (unlike their competitor) and it’s unusual & attractive tower design. Actually showing people your product is a big advantage right there. I find it very appealing and it has been designed with thermal performance in mind. Xbox is in a much stronger position this time around with good leadership in Phil Spencer. Phil has been making all the right moves since taking over for the boob that was Don Mattrick.
As far as games go, well I guess I’m an outlier in that I’ve enjoyed MS first party games more than most of my fellow gamers this gen, but I can understand why it’s been a let down. I think MS cut the Xbox division off early in the gen until the gaming market settled and, really didn’t open the purse strings again until Sony and Nintendo proved that the console market was still viable in 2017. 2013 was a weird time for gaming with mobile gaming exploding and Nintendo going off the deep end and failing miserably. Xbox found fools gold with Kinect 1.0 which skewed their thinking. Add in out of touch leadership and it was a recipe for a disaster they’ve spent 6 years trying to clean up. They’ve stuck it out and I’m very hopeful we’ll see a much different Xbox first party line up next gen.
Im going to try to get a Series X on day one, but I might have to wait a few months. I’ll definitely be getting one!
Huge deal for me. Knowing that digital games I’ve purchased like Doom, RDR2 and Control will be playable on the Series X is a huge reason I’m getting one soon after launch.
I’ve had some short 1-2 second freezes and 1 crash on my One X. It seems to happen while in combat when loading a new, unexplored area or reloading after a death.
Overall I’m having a great time. The framerate seems pretty good to me. Maybe I’m having trouble noticing the dips because the game is 2D?

Panzer Dragoon Orta: the release of the remake inspired me to play through this classic again. The One X version is really incredible.
Apex Legends: As always.

Re: According To Microsoft, This Is Why The Xbox Series X Looks Like A Fridge
@MinecraftGreek so you’re saying the SeX is a PS5 and a PS4 duck taped together? 😂
Re: Poll: How Expensive Will The Xbox Series X Be At Launch?
I’m guessing $499. I don’t think a console can sell for much more than that and be a success.

There’s a lot to like about the Series X.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege Will Support Cross-Gen Matchmaking With Xbox Series X
Great news! I hope they do this with other titles like Fortnite and Apex Legends!

It’s wild that ea would allow Madden 17 or fifa 16 to be playable on the Series X or PS5.
