This is a bit funny and not a criticism of the console but I played an hour of Valhalla and haven't touched it again since Tuesday down under (Monday in North America). Definitely the least hyped I've been about a new gen despite liking the hardware in general.

Weird, it's in the Steam version. I pulled up the chart and also apparently no Ecco the Dolphin, which is also in the steam version / the 360 Sonic Genesis collection.

I'm enjoying the series X so far, although mostly I've played all stuff I could play on the old Xbox except for Yakuza. Yakuza is great fun, but the english voice acting is terrible. Or just too weird for me to handle after 7 games of Japanese audio.

The English voice acting is really really good in Yakuza 7, unless your doctor told you to limit more exposure to Richard Epcar. Its the rare cast where they went all out for actual asian actors in lead roles too, and it sounds so good. I can totally get though the Japanese vocal track being the sound for you after all the previous games

I don't know if its true for both language tracks but at minimum in the English version they went the extra mile to have actual Mandarin speakers say the Chinese dialog and its so loving nice to hear that instead of a weird butchering

Probably doesn’t help that we’re in this extremely awkward cross-gen period and the only next generation exclusives are a remake of a PS3 game and uh... AstroBoy or something

I can't play those because Sony completely hosed up delivery in Australia. One of my orders has no stock and the other is inching its way across the country, looking like it'll be five days late.

Is FFXV Royal edition worth playing? The game didn't have a great reception when it first came out but my friend's daughter was raving about it today and now I'm curious. It's loving huge or I'd just download it and check it out. I know DQ11 is coming out on game pass soon, but I'm trying to get my dollars worth out of this subscription thing lol

To be honest there's no real next-gen games right now. Give it a year and i'm sure we'll see some mindblowing stuff that couldnt be possible on PS4.

Hey right on. Battle Chasers looks interesting, I'd never heard of it. I noticed FF 8 and 9 were on there too. I don't think I ever played 9 and 8 was wild, I should give it a shot. I remember trying to get to the stupid ultimate weapon or whatever the hell it is in that game. It was a nightmare.

A nice resource of all the known issues with the OS currently: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/xba_console/known-issues-on-xbox-series-xs/221c9d7f-dc91-4067-ba81-33ab671179b5

It mentions all of my issues with sharing clips here, which is reassuring at least. It also says it will be addressed in a November update which I'm not entirely sure I believe since the trimming issue had existed on the Xbox One for like the last year.

Yeah I just noticed that too. It's also incredible how much content is in this game. I've played a lot and I can still tell I'm at the beginning. I know it's previous gen and the X enhancements aren't big but 1440 60 fps and importantly 0 load times just feels amazing. Looks great and feels like a next gen game even though its technically not. Whenever a load screen does pop up it's literally about one second.

Similarly because the BC stuff seems to be so good I tried out Witcher 3 on game pass and I expected it to run/look better? I know they are also patching it for next gen so let’s see

It already got an X patch a couple of years ago to hit 60 so I guess they're probably at the limit without doing a proper X|S version.

One X version of Witcher 3 is already really really good, I'm playing through that now. I don't think it hits native 4k but it's really good regardless.

Is Taco Bell still giving them away? I want one too, and that seem like the best chance of getting one at this point. I checked Craig's List and they are all going in the $750 - $1,000 range.

I haven't had quick resume work on any of my games. Tried it with Gears 5, Dead by Daylight, Black Ops Cold War (the next-gen release), Jedi Fallen Order and possibly others I can't remember and they all just load as normal.
