Outer Worlds makes a neat first impression, then you realize the game is an inch deep and it becomes a slog from there. It's why so many reviewers were praising it so heavily right at the outset and just kinda gradually soured on it as the weeks went by.

I enjoyed it too, the whole way through. Each aspect of the game could have been fleshed out a bit more but what was there was pretty solid. It gets a way worse rap than it deserves.

The Witcher 3 is excellent on Series X. The performance mode seems to be 4k 60 fps and looks and runs flawlessly. Basically any xbox one game that has an unlocked frame rate/resolution mode runs really well on Series X, like Hitman 2.

The Witcher 3 will also be getting a Series X patch with ray tracing and faster load times for free so that's something to look forward to, though who knows if that'll be delayed because of the Cyberpunk mess. Not sure how they'll make it load faster because even unoptimized it loads hilariously fast, to the point where it seems to break physics. I'll fast travel and barrels and poo poo will start flying.

MS said itll be until April until supply is normalized but honestly keep checking Walmart/Best Buy and you'll probably nab one. Follow Wario64 on Twitter and he'll tweet when they're available. Just act quickly.

To avoid just skimming the AAA games,

- Frostpunk is a really good colony sim about keeping a colony alive in a word slowly freezing to death
- Outer Wilds (NOT Outer Worlds, which is an unplayably boring game) is a fun freeform mystery game about trying to figure out why your universe keeps exploding every 20 minutes.
- Subnautica is a survival game that takes place entirely underwater.
- Hypnospace Outlaw is a clever game by the guy that made Dropsy about being an internet cop on late 90s software.

Monster Train is a fun take on the Slay the Spire formula that isn't just a clone/reskin of the original.
State of Decay 2 is a lot of fun and they add stuff monthly - sometimes it's just more bounties, but they just added a super hard mode and the ability to custom tailor parts of your difficulty so you can play as you like.
World of Horror is fun if you don't mind rogue like difficulty.
Gato Roboto was fun, reminded me of Blaster Master from the old NES days.
Full Throttle and Day of the Tentacle are the best of the SCUMM engine adventure games from back in the day and are both on there.

The combat in Ori feels much more satisfying to me. Chaining together a bunch of hammer swings is a big goomba stomp (little repeatable action that feels good every time you do it).

You can even add a big goomba stomp to it :v: Although mainlining the hammer bit me in the rear end hard in the Kwolok fight

I'm probably in the minority but I enjoyed building functioning settlements for those dumb as gently caress settler NPC's. :v:

You kind of need the DLC's to make buildings that don't look like garbage shacks though.

Fallout 4 is getting a 60fps patch sometime.

Is Fallout 76 getting a 60fps patch as well? Seems like it would make more sense since it's a service game that's still active with more updates to come in the future. I know there's more story content due with pets/companions and base building stuff as well while the game seems to have actually made a decent comeback with all the support it's had? It looks pretty chill on Twitch and even the BR mode looks fun but I don't wanna grab it unless they do a performance patch to get to 60fps and maybe make the game look a little nicer.

Stellaris is another must-play on gamepass if you have the time to watch a youtube vid about the basic mechanics. Its an empire building type game with a lot of little granular systems and poo poo to obsess over. Great emergent gameplay type game. My favorite play through was when I roleplayed as Klingons and united the rest of the galaxy in love for my people because I kept hammering a neighbor kingdom of space-elf nazis in war.

ESO is confirmed to be getting a patch which I assume will allow 60 fps but they've said nothing about FO76. I'd be surprised if it doesn't though.

They've had to delay it until they figure out how to fit 60 fingers on Pip-boy's hand for the news post about it.

Thoughts after a week: the new controller is very good overall, but with my hulk hands and piano fingers, I have to almost lift the entire palm and thumb off the grips to hinge my index fingers over to hit the bumpers. I've been trying to get used to just nudging the edge of it with the side of my finger but it's about a 50/50 shot whether I actually click the button fully or not. I think this has more to do with my massive hands than the controller but it's something new to get used to for sure.

The triggers are way better though. No contest

I watched Wario64, was able to add it to my cart on microsoft.com one of the times it came up, but was too late to check out. The console stayed in the cart though. So then I kept that checkout page open and the next time wario64 said they were up at microsoft i just clicked checkout. And FWIW, it gave a Jan 5 delivery date at time of order and was delivered on December 16.

Speaking of game pass, I'm playing Arkham Knight and it's pretty great, though the graphics show their age a bit on the new system. Any idea of another batman game like that is in the works?
