Same here but I’ve just done the first full day and got a bit more freedom now. I’m intrigued by it so will stick with it. I think it was just overwhelming at the beginning as I didn’t have a clue what was going on and I typically don’t like games like that.
Deathloop is kind of interesting in how they've tried to port across some semblance of the DualSense haptics. I've never experienced the ever so light tip-taps of your footsteps on an Xbox controller before.
It's PC only, they have not done a console version yet. And probably won't whilst it's still in early access.
Anyone tried out Slime Rancher 2 yet?
Heheh, I just tried it myself. Seems more of the same as the original (which I loved) but the graphics look way ropey for a Series X game. With it being early access, I'll just wait until it gets a 1.0 release before I play any more.
And it feels such a better experience now that you can take advantage of 4K, ray tracing and the Xbox One X enhanced versions of games. So glad I did the same.

Not sure which button you mean, looks to have all the same ones.....
The share button for taking screenshots and video clips.
Have you checked the settings on the Xbox? The option to turn the TV off is a separate checkbox IIRC.
Is anyone partaking in the Xbox Fanfest Trivia Quiz tonight at 10pm?
Xbox FanFest | Xbox
It's tonight at 10pm, a quiz where you can win some vouchers for the Xbox Gear shop or even a Series S if you are very knowledgeable.

The highest I got to was something like 39 but then the round about bosses I scored 0/5 and dropped all the way back to 300-odd. I clawed it back to finish around 238. So I just scraped into the 250 prize band.
Thanks for the recommendation! Like you, I wasn't expecting it to be much good but I was on it all night! Such a simple premise but highly addictive.
I got a few evolved weapons myself tonight. The game is utter bedlam during those last few minutes. I’ve never seen anything like it. 
That must have taken some doing! I managed to stay alive for 2.5 minutes at the end of the level and had 5 reapers chasing me. But I couldn't kill a single one of them.
Not entirely sure about the longevity of this now though. I've been on it for two solid days and nights and unlocked all the starting power ups. There are still plenty of evolutions to find but don't really see the point in continuing unless there's some kind of finality like killing "the vampire".
I was on Vampires all night again trying to explode some rolling bone enemy. It got to a massive size but time ran out before anything happened.
I think there’s only a couple more weapon evolutions for me to get now. Don’t know if there’s any additional characters, I’ll go and look that up.

Glad I kept going, I managed to do this last night with the evolved laurel. Definitely going to have to cheat a bit now and look up how to get the last 10 collectibles or so as I could be playing forever and never find things.
There is no VR capability for the Xbox. Meta Quest 2 is a separate ecosystem with its own library of games. Three youngsters in my family have the Quest 2 and love it.

I think it's 100% real that the new PS5 model will be out next year with the disc drive being an accessory that you need to purchase separately if you want that functionality.
