Pretty sure it auto saves regularly doesn't it? Only had an hour or so with it so far but loving it so far.

It’s quite variable. I was in a boss fight and it kept putting me back outside the door when I died. I restarted the game one point and it put me miles away. At least instant on keeps it where you left off, but there is a huge amount of walking.

Yeh that would be annoying. I'm sure little things will get patched up hopefully. Gonna try some co op tomorrow all going well.

Still not sure on The Ascent. I'm only level 4 but not being able to save and spawning miles away from where I died is pretty annoying. Especially having to fight your way through the same enemies over and over again.

Edit
Uninstalled. Really wanted to like this but it's just not enjoyable running so far constantly getting attacked.

Play it with friends!

Halo PVP is up, and man it's fun.

I noticed the ascent doesn't support quick resume, that or my series s just keeps not doing it.

I thought all new s/x games had to or am I mistaken?

Not all have it, at least not on release. If you have instant-on enabled it usually acts like quick resume anyway.

Thought about getting a Series X if i can eventually get one, Although my TV is only 4K@60HZ (Samsung QE55Q6F)

Would i be at much disadvantage as i know the series X can do up to 120fps,But with that said i wouldn't be doing any competitive gameplay on it or online tbh, Purely for single player/campaign games!

I never use 120fps since I prefer the higher fidelity you get at 60fps, but vrr is a great feature to have.

60Hz is fine for single player, and you do get diminishing returns with FPS and resolution increases in general so the jump from 30Hz/1080p to 60Hz/1440p is significantly larger than the jump from 60Hz/1440p to 120Hz/4K.

I never use 120fps since I prefer the higher fidelity you get at 60fps, but vrr is a great feature to have.

You get higher fidelity in motion with 1440p120, 4K60 is only higher when stationary which is very rare in video games.

how loud is the series x

It is silent mate, I had to shine a torch in there to check the fan was actually spinning.

oh wow really, i thought due to all the GPU power it might be like something was about to take flight

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Silent, even when right next to it. Big fan, doesn’t spin quickly, even after a long gaming session.

 

[MOOGLEYS]

It’s amazing how quite the fan is even when pushing out a lot of air. Flight sim ramps the fan up but you still need to stick your ear next to it to hear anything.

I can't hear mine even if I put my ear next to it.

The thing I love about the series X is how it upscales old games which run flawlessly. I will honestly say this generation is one of the weakest I can remember for new games. I have literally been playing back catalogue on my Series X pretty much exclusively. Finished the Mass Effect series and am now going through Dead Space.

Flight simulator which was released the other day is pretty much the first proper decent series X game I can think of and the console has been released 9 months already.

I have to say i was not liking the box tower design but if its silent then im all for it

Plenty of great stuff on the way though.

 

[Raymond Lin]

It can only get better and it looks like it is going to be an amazing generation for Xbox, and i am not even being fanboy, having both PS5 and SX and also PS4 and XB1 (& Switch, Wii U before).

 

[manic111]

After all this time persuading myself that I was just going to get an S to tide myself over until the PS5 is available and worth buying, I'm going to get an X aren't I
