The choice between Series X and PS5 was pretty clear for me; does it play Fallout New Vegas?

All Starfield had to do is be an updated version of 1986’s Starflight and it would have kicked rear end.

I bought GTA 5 4 times. Wait, no it was five times. Holy poo poo.

I actually own a physical copy for my PS3. It's actually incredible that it runs so well on such old hardware.

I've never been able to get what's popular about GTA's. I've bought all of them, and they seem to be just open-city drive'em ups. I think I played San Andreas the most, because the characters and the story about them was interesting.

Is it the moment-to-momemt gameplay?

Granted, I don't care for driving games so maybe that's it.

It's a curious phenomenon, that game.

The really hilarious part is that I’ve purchased copies of every Grand Theft Auto ever made and I don’t enjoy playing them for more than half an hour. I’m not sure why I bought them all, just to let all that game code sit on my hard drive. It is a mystery.

Yeah , the reason I bought Dead Space is to keep it, because games get removed from Gamepass all the time.

It’s ten bucks.

And what the hell, I bought Battlefield 2042 whatever edition. It’s twenty bucks up here in Canada.

I'm in Act 3 and the performance has been pretty good, including the two boss fights so far.

e:i'm really enjoying quick resume, especially for older games like Fallout New Vegas and KOTOR. It's really cool to be able to quit playing and then pick right up like you just paused the game, even days later.

Maybe i'm just more sensitive to frame rate drops, but the boss fight with the huge dragon was unplayable. I just want the game to offer a lower resolution. The Switch, the most popular console of all time, plays most games at 540p and no one cares. Games don't need to be 4K, especially when they can barely handle it.

Y'know, I'll have to replay that boss fight because I either didn't notice any significant frame drops or I just wrote them off mentally as part of the boss fight experience, if that makes any sense.

I own a physical copy of NOLF for my ancient PS2. Going to rip it and see if it works on my PS2 emulator on my Steamdeck.

E: and to bring this back to XBox, thank you thread for letting me know about the Dead Space remaster when it was ten bucks. That’s a hell of a deal. The game looks absolutely amazing.

I haven’t kept track of the faux controversy, so I’m enjoying Palworld on my Series X.

E:I haven’t noticed any frame rate issues at all, so I’m hoping that’s because the game is running on a system that does twelve trillion calculations per second.

lol @ everyone arguing over 30/60/120 Frames per second. It just shows how fundamentally different consoles are from PCs.

The real problem is input latency or how often your movement is updated. PC gamers don't understand because the vast majority of PC game engines read user input per render frame, while consoles have a separate input loop, independent of frame rate. This is why console players and PC players always butt heads; they are comparing two very different things without understanding WHY they are different.

to be clear, PC games NEED to have a higher frame rate because that is how input is updated, while frame rate can be way more flexible on a console because the input is on a completely different thread.

e:to be even clearer, PC's brute force user input, but console developers had to come up with a more flexible and elegant solution.

The real problem is using motion blur properly at 30fps. Rockstar understand this. Many do not.

That's part of the solution, but I stand behind the fact that the quicker your onscreen avatar reacts, lower frame rates are going to be way less obvious.

The Modern Warfare/Black Ops/World at War (yes I'm including WaW, that game was always good) stretch on Xbox 360 is one of those really cool times in gaming that I really miss but is easy to forget about or shrug off just because it's CoD.

The work they did to "clean up" the multiplayer of those games is still the killer app that keeps luring me towards picking up a Series S. Those games are on PC (and I think I even own a couple of them on Steam) but it's not the same as just jumping in with an Xbox pad.

Modern Warfare 2 from 2009 is still the very best COD multiplayer. Period.

I was there when MW 2007 was new. The campaign was incredible and the XP multiplayer progression was totally new. MW2 in 2009 took everything and ramped it up all the way, which is why it’s STILL the best multiplayer, followed by BLOPS2.

My fondest memories of MW2 were playing with people from this site, there were some maps which had some weird geometry that if you knew how to launch a grenade at the right angle, you could just keep killing the enemy at spawn over and over again. People were laughing about the PUBBIE TEARS!!! After around a month other people figured out how to do it and started doing cheap poo poo against us, and people in the thread were bitching about how the game is no fun anymore with absolute no sense of irony.

One of my favorite memories of MW2 is calling in two goddamn Harriers to provide overwatch during a CTF match. The swearing from the other team was loving glorious.

e: I once hijacked a support drop, which turned out to be an AC-130, near the end of the match. We were down by more than a few kills.

We won that round.
