one of my fave gaming moments ever was in the first stalker. You’re fighting your way through this spooky haunted sewer against mutant enemies who do psychic attacks on you. Then you finally escape the tunnels but you’re inside an enemy base pinned down by a sniper. And you’re out of ammo!! It was so cool.

There's also when you start getting decent weapons and think you're starting to be in a roll just to get absolutely destroyed by a mutant just for being cocky.

I'm not the biggest STALKER fan but I sure do love diving in from time to time for some cheeky breeky

The game still looks great tbh. The character models are a bit weak but everything else still looks nice. The lighting is so good.

I have huge nostalgia for this exact fidelity of graphics. Freedom Fighters, BLACK. No game ever needs to look better than this.

Absolutely not. I think it's supposed to be better than the garbage fire from like 2018 that got the franchise canceled for a year, but it's not a game that one would appreciate if you aren't a wrestling fan and really want to hit someone with a chair and then get bugged to the top of the arena for the rest of the match.

The AEW game is better, but really bare bones and absolutely not worth 70 bux. But at least it works.

It's fun to mess around with on a deep sale. It's not like a fifa game where having the newest game makes more sense. The community creations online have everything you could want to download and those servers stay up for like 3 years or something. So buying not the new one but the year before would be fine.

e- I got one of them awhile back for like 10 bucks and it was fun to do online tag matches with a friend and goofy create a wrestlers.

There are two prospective audiences for the WWE games.

1) You're a 37 year old man who is really really into professional wrestling (lol)
2) You want to create a bunch of funny/wild characters using the create-a-wrestler feature and then let the AI control them as they fight to the death while you stream the whole thing on Twitch to dozens of viewers.

Don't get me wrong, I'd recommend neither. The AEW one seemed to have a lot less frustration and bugs. But I wouldn't say it's worth it.

BG3 is giving me an Xbox message about not enough save space. I have it synced to the cloud, and deleted the save on my xbox. But its still giving me the message. It starts to sync, gets to 11% and gives me the same message. Tells me to go to Games and Add-ons and delete some stuff.

What gives?

Is the Stalker game incredibly slow for everyone else? Game takes a good while just to boot and the loading is exhausting.

edit: Game was installed to external.

Worth noting that you can save scum as much as you want so even if you die a lot it's like dying in say...quake or whatever

Really wish the game had a quick save button though.

So how much free space you got? Probably not enough for whatever that update needs.

Might could delete the game and re-install it.

So it's talking about total ssd space? I was under the impression it was referring to a game cache.

You're correct, thanks. Clearing a few games did allow it to launch, cheers

If it's anything like pc you'll want to set a limit to your total number of save games because that poo poo will start eating gigs of space if you save a lot lol

I fixed this (not for BG3, Minecraft I think) by doing an actual factory reset after searching for a solution. This isn't as painful as it sounds, you can do a kind of 'soft' reset where your profile remains intact from memory.

I've been having an issue for months now with my XBox where if I have an update to download it will take far, far, far, far longer than it should.

Usually it will kick off the update, download a few hundred MB, and then stop. Randomly it will download again at far slower than it should (3-5mbps if I'm lucky), before stopping for a large amount of time. So a 60GB update might take more than a day to download. An update of 3GB took over 3 hours last week.

Does anyone know of any fix for this? I'm wired, my NAT is open, I changed the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 based on a post I found, I've hard reset (many times), I've killed all the suspended games, and I did a factory reset. Now it won't even install the store update that is 10MB.
