Oh, that's good to know!

I guess I must have tried Halo Reach, then - where your name is number six or something, and you go looking for people with a bunch of computer-controlled teammates??

Looks amazing..!!

Are there any previous Halo campaigns where you play solo, rather than with computer-controlled teammates..??

@Dar3dev
Thanks for that - now downloading..!!
I'm a big Zelda fan as well.

Just got to decide whether to crack on with Hades, start Echo Generation, or begin Death's Door.. 😅

@Roqka @Dar3dev @Dusk_Actual
On the fence about picking up Death's Door.
Really want to play it, but so many good games on GamePass I've been meaning to try.

Any advice..??

@Daniel Hollis
Very interested in this now, after reading your review!

You talk about early hours and later hours - do you know roughly how long it took you to finish the game?

@Medic_Alert @Kamalen @Bobobiwan
Thanks for the feedback, all.
Just finishing up Katana Zero (great game, by the way!), and have downloaded New Vegas to try out next..!

What’s the best Fallout for someone new to the series..??

Yes, please, to Desperados III and The Medium.
Seeing all the love above for Donut Country, will be trying that out as well..!

All hail GamePass 😆

@kingv84
Haha - great comment 🤣🤣🤣

I'm hoping to feel comfortable giving up on games within the first few minutes, if I don't enjoy them..!

@XBontendo
I've only played a few games this year - RE2, RE7, and Fallen Order. I think RE2 was the best, but also the most intense - I was pretty happy when I finished it..!

Hoping to finish Fallen Order this year, then try Ryse and maybe MGS5 in the New Year. And maybe a tactical game like Xcom 2 or Desperados 3.

@XBontendo
Yes, enjoying it immensely!
Given it's reputation as a Souls-like game, I was a little worried before starting. But I'm managing better than I thought I would!

What's your game of the year for 2020..??

Some more Jedi: Fallen Order, if I have the time.
Hoping to finish it before the end of the year..!

@CrazyJF
Sounds like the sort of game I'd like - thanks for the feedback..!!

But..
just found out it's not on Game Pass in Japan 😑

@CrazyJF
Cool, I've heard good things about Hellblade.
What's your experience been of it so far..?

@Bmartin001 @MrConstantina
Jedi Fallen Order - me too.
What a great game!

The opening sequence was fantastic (not sure if you remember it). I've just come to the point where I can use the Force with the LT button.. which means I'm maybe about half-way through..?

After the psychological horror of RE7, have just booted up Fallen Order. Loved the opening sequence.
Just the right level of difficulty for me on Jedi Knight (second-easiest option)..!

@Ridwaano
Well, I didn't get any feedback to my question, so...
I bought it anyway..!!

But trying to finish RE7 first before moving on to another game 😅

@phoenix1 @evan23
I did some sleuthing, and it turns out that Xbox One games on Games for Gold can only be played while you're a subscriber; Xbox360 games are yours to keep even if you discontinue your subscription.

I had no idea!
In which case, it's pretty much the same as PS Plus? But most people will have Game Pass anyway??

Not really sure what the point of Games for Gold is now..

@phoenix1
I thought you could only play PS Plus games for as long as you were a subscriber?

Borderlands Handsome Collection would be nice!

I saw that Metal Gear Solid V is on sale - is this game a bit like Ghost Recon Desert Siege (I don't know if anyone remembers that) but with better graphics..?

I'm in Japan.

Huge numbers of Xbox Series X/S and PS5 were bought by resellers, and are now on the market at inflated prices. Sucks big time.

Also may (or may not) indicate that pre-order sales aren't a good measure of how popular a console is, at least here.

I got my Series S from a reseller, but managed to get it cheaper than retail due to a coupon and a limited time sale..

@mousieone Thanks for the reply.
I heard an SSD makes loading times faster - I was thinking I'd also be able to use it when I do eventually get a Series X for extra storage.

I'm in Japan and, alas, launch day units were only available on pre-order. No news as yet on when the next batch will be up for sale :-/

I could get Valhalla/Cyberpunk to keep me occupied, I guess?

Didn't manage to order one..
I'll be moping around at home, dreaming of what the next generation's like..!

Might get an SSD for my Xbox One X to keep me ticking over - is it worth it, do you reckon..?

@redshirtrod

I was a little naive, thinking there wouldn't be much demand for the Xbox in Japan. But, there was..
I have a pre-order in for the PS5, but tbh not sure I can live with something that fugly in the long-term.

In the meantime, I guess I'll be buying an external SSD drive to speed up my Xbox One X..!

Everywhere sold out here within a few minutes.
I didn't manage to pre-order..

The upgrade I'm most looking forward to is lack of loading times.

I'm fine with current framerates/resolutions, to be honest, but it's a pain to turn on my XboX One X and have to wait for it to "start up", then choose a game and wait for that to "load".

As I understand it, all this waiting time will disappear thanks to the ultrafast SSD drives. Gonna be amazing.

That's so lame.. And absolutely no idea why the head of Xbox (Phil Spencer) has been so confident of late..

Having said that, not convinced by any of the PS5 launch titles, either.. :-/

I thought it was a really good event.
Though, I would like to have seen more gameplay..

Two things stood out to me:
1. Game Pass is gonna be amazing
2. For those of us with an Xbox One X, there's not much reason to buy a Series X at launch..??

Does anyone have first-hand experience of 120fps gaming? Is there a noticeable (for an ordinary person) difference to 60fps?

Looks like Zelda with boosted graphics.
Feeling some Studio Ghibli influence.

First thoughts were it's kinda like Borderlands but with better graphics..

Then I remembered that I loved Borderlands..!!
Big thumbs up from me.
