Poll: *** Xbox Series X|S - General Discussion Thread ***

I bought Hell Let Loose last night for like £18 via Brazilian store. Fired up a game, wow.. it's intense. Unlike anything I've seen on a console before. Looks incredible on Series X also. I'm going to try and get my bearings on it and I'll be up for some games with people here.

Are you and others using Comms? Really want to try it but can't use Comms!

Anyone playing Gunk on gamepass? Not usually my sort of game but quite enjoying it.

Yeah, I'm 50/50 with it at the moment. It started off intriguing but it's getting a bit boring now. Certainly not a patch on their Steamworld games.

 

[CliffyG]

I'm a little confused about a couple of the upgrades. +1 to HP and alien parts restore HP. I've been hit a couple of times by gunk creeps but I can't see a HP bar or any indication that it's possible to die.

I’ve played it briefly, but not enough to get into it. It hasn’t really hooked me yet.

I played it and finished, oddly charming game, enjoyed it

From what I've seen I think comms are vital for the game. Not sure though? Is a headset with low volume talking not a possibility? I've not had any games with anyone here yet. Currently watching some YT video for beginners.

Well I’ve died a fair bit. The screen starts turning red at the edge like Gears of War. You’ll definitely know when you’re on your last legs.

Kids asleep, annoying but nothing I can do I can only game when they're asleep. Ah well

Nice one! Did you get a physical copy then?

I will get my Series X delivered tomorrow and only plan to play Hell Let Loose and Flight Sim to begin. Let's friend up on Xbox Live (xGUNISHMENTx)

I'm sure we can work something out

No, bought it digitally via the Brazilian Game Store. Enjoy! There's nothing like getting a new console, especially around Christmas time! I've sent you a friend request.

It doesn't have bars for health etc, health is decided by the screen going darker each hit essentially.

Was undecided on getting Hell Let Loose but picked it up via the Hungary Store.

I got hold of a physical game locally (RDR2), first one I’ve used on my SX. My god the instal is seriously slow. Painfully slow.

Is anyone aware of a way to download the game and then use disc to play it?

Still waiting for some kind of 60fps release.

It sounds like ME is heading to Gamepass. Absolutely fantastic for anyone who didn't buy it.

Thanks! Will have to look in to that…

I don’t think we will be getting a 60fps patch anytime soon. You just know Rockstar will want to charge at some point for an ‘enhanced’ version of the game. The utter swines.

 

[Relentless81]

Really pleased with tomorrow's addition to Gamepass and looking forward to playing ME

As for RDR2 I'm waiting for an enhanced version and will probably be waiting a very long time

Spelunky 2 is a superb addition.

Put disc in
Cancel install
Download from store with disc in


I do this as my games download quicker than they install from a disc, and it’s quieter.
