Honestly I found Anthem to be tons of fun. The problem is that it takes an absolute eternity to load. And not only is the loading bad but you need to do so much of it.

This is exactly the reason I usually drop games mid playthrough. I’m so easily distracted with anything that when I stare at a progress bar I need to actively think about not starting something new.

I think maybe an ssd install helps a ton there but good luck finding people to play with.

The game had some neat idea to do with picking up ammo, I can't remember what it was though.

I was cloud streaming this and bricking all my shots, so I deleted 3 games to install it.. Certainly it had to be lag from xcloud so I load up a game on the local drive and i was still bricking all my shots. Then I made an 7 foot 6 guy with monster arms and you dont have to time a meter when you dunk on em.

For real they had some great animations, especially going airborne, it felt so good. Interceptor was fast and legit fun! It’s just a shame there was only two months of actual game development that shipped.

Yeah, Civ 6 is free to play this weekend.

Re : Valhalla, I bought it a year ago when it was 50% off but only played for an hour or 3. I was having fun and suddenly I wasn't having fun anymore, no idea what happened. I think it's because the English countryside is a bit boring, coming from Odyssey.

If I didn't read about it on the forums I would have had no idea people were apparently having problems with their xboxes

Anyway I'm still playing lots of Resident Evil 2 while I wait for the patch, but Hitman 3 sounds pretty tempting. Maybe if I get fired I can find time for Dying Light or half the stuff on game pass lol

I had a lot of problems getting access to the Hitman campaigns last night on Game Pass. That must also have been the connectivity issues, because suddenly it started working.

I’m in Oklahoma City and the previous 2 days I couldn’t launch any digital/gamepass game, it would say I didn’t own that game or my gamepass had expired. I haven’t tried to get on today but the Xbox Live status page isn’t reporting problems, but people on twitter and Reddit are still reporting issues. I guess Microsoft must have hosed something up in the backend trying to change something relating to how game ownership is flagged on your account.
