Xbox - Series S/X: Thread 01

NPCs - that's what the Wastelanders update was all about. If you think it's bad now, imagine what it was like at launch.

Skyrim was bad, fallout shouldn’t have even got released, any of them, they are absolute technical travesties.

Tomorrow.

Also looks like there may be an announcement regarding The Outer Worlds, maybe DLC or another title.

I know right ... I mean graphically it looks a fair bit sharper than Fallout 4 and I like the opening map locations but I just couldn't get past how janky it all felt...

My game time is limited right now and I'd rather play something that's at least a little polished.

I have to say, I like that box art and I don't normally care one way or the other. That is a great throwback to the originals box art and yet still looks pretty fresh.

It's raised my hopes a little that 343 knows what is doing with this one.

I'm really hoping they do something special with Halo

In that case, if you're looking for that Fallout like experience and haven't tried it The Outer Worlds which is also on game pass - 100x better.

Hoping it's a remake in all but name . Can't wait booked 2 days off work and going to get wasted on this

Yeah thanks I'm actually about 8 hours into that and had forgotten about it...

From the recent interview and the lack of numeral in the title I'm guessing this is going to be like Destiny with the game expanding over time.

No shock but Series X begins to lock down on a November launch.

I don't know how I feel about that. I'm not a fan of Destiny but mainly because of the constant grind... The shooting and mechanics of it are sound.

I'm expecting this to be open world, zero load times but I was also expecting that all to take place on a fully realised new halo ring with multiple locations from the get go.

Please don't use the "L" word.

Im guessing its going to be more of 1 evolving game now with constant updates and content added, rather than 40h grind for a weapon that gets nerfed 2 days after release.

Looking forward to finally seeing it though, will be interesting either way.

Will probably see some gameplay of The Medium later, someone has found some screenshots of Bloober Team showing off their patented gameplay.

Never-seen-before and officially patented gameplay that plays out across two worlds displayed at the same time. Explore the physical world and the spirit world simultaneously, and use the interactions between them to solve dual-reality puzzles, unlock new paths, and awaken memories of past events.

Actual patent.
