I hope STALKER 2 will deliver on providing a good open world wasteland FPS. I want something in that setting now after watching the Fallout show, and i've played everything else with this setting that was good.

I loved the Xbox One because it played the original Titanfall. None of that other poo poo mattered.

The main issue here is that the Xbox 360 also played Titanfall, and due to how terrible Xbone performance was at the time it was very very close to the Xbone's version in terms of performance and resolution. Like the 360 version was 720p and the Xbone version was 792p and both versions ran at 60fps.

Yes...Ha ha ha...YES!



i got an xbox one because the only ps4 exclusive i gave a hot poo poo about was resogun

i still might pick up a ps4 some day if i find one for cheap just for resogun but other than that i just could not care any less about playstation's exclusive titles, at all. of course microsoft has not been doing great on that front either and if not for gamepass i would certainly not have bought a series s, so.

While this might not be the game to do it with, you could, if you have a PC, sign up for PS+ Premium and stream Resogun. The stock software only works with a DualShock 4 (for some reason it doesn't support a DualSense directly) but you can use third-party software to con any controller into thinking it's a DS4.

The 360 port was 600p and had tons of screen tearing if you didn’t use the 30fps mode. It also had significantly dumbed down lighting and textures. It did not look like a next-gen (for the time) game. The xbone version did.

PS4 was where I went on launch day and Resogun was amazing, but I bought an Xbox One not that long after (probably when they dropped Kinect, I don't recall how far after launch that was?) and for the first couple of years I vastly preferred the Xbox One. Titanfall being a big part of it because Titanfall was loving amazing.

I also liked the hardware. Preferred the controller. Preferred the box itself. Found it's obnoxious VCR energy quite endearing, but also I am super fussy about hardware noise and I always appreciated how much quieter and cooler the Xbox seemed to run compared to the PS4.

After being all about Xbox ever since the OG, I went PS4 after the Xbox One presentation.

I regret it because I didn't enjoy any of the PS exclusives (except Horizon Zero Dawn) and more than half of the 3rd party games I bought eventually ended up on game pass.

I should have never left.

PS4 had nothing of interest to me until Bloodborne and very little of interest after that save for the Last Guardian. Xbone wasn't much better until the One S came out and they started to develop backwards compatibility. The consoles of the generation were so lame over all that it pushed me into PC gaming for a bit until the One X brought me back

Yeah! It plays much better now. Even with the performance problems, the rest of the game is perfect. If it wasn't for the frame rate hitches when the game launched, it would be a 10/10 game.

I never had any significant issues playing it on Xbox Series X at launch, other than it freezing like twice over the many hours I messed around playing it. The PC crowd was another story…

Agreed. I just finished it yesterday on PS5 but the game runs fine there. One of the best sequels just because it adds so much but for me it's more like a 8.5 to 9 depending on how much you like the IP.
The enemy variety in these type of games is something only Fromsoft and Team Ninja have been able to get it. Kinda gets boring fighting a bedlam raider for the 100th time.

Keep doing the main story and don't get too bogged down by collectibles, exploration or side-activities, would be my advice. You'll gradually unlock tools that make that stuff far easier to do later on.

It already is with an official XCloud app. The VR thread seems to think they're release a headset with Xbox colors and logos, along with a "here's 6 months of GamePass, you saved $20"

Switch looks about the same but with 1st party and tons of censored anime titty games. I'm going to make some assumptions about what you're referring to by "more appealing"

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go.
