I see a lot of people having trouble with the final chase sequence in Ori and the Will of the Wisps. I was dreading reaching that moment. But imagine to my surprise when I managed to complete it on only the second attempt!! Not bad for an old git.
How old we talking here, because I`m fairly close to the end I think.....and I`m erm.....quite erm......mature...yeah thats it, mature.
 
Do you think we might finally see some additions to the achievement system this year? I feel it could do with one or two things.

The different unlock sound for rare achievements for example is a nice little touch and I’d like to see more stuff like that. A separate DLC list and a completed category is what I’m hoping for.

The New Zealand method doesn't work for Hitman 3 :(

Edit: Oh wait, I'm a day early apparently? For some reason I thought today was the 19th :messenger_confounded:

Good news for Elex fans or Euro Jank RPG afficionados in general: just tried it on XSX and strangely enough it runs 60 fps in quality mode. You see, it had two modes before: performance mode that ran at 1080p/had unlocked framerate and a high res version that I'm pretty sure targeted 30 fps. Well, for some reason it runs at 60 fps in both modes. I don't think it's quite 4K (probably between 1440p and 1800p) and the game itself is not exactly a looker, but it had that Gothic vibe, just in a sci-fi setting.

Niiiice, bought it a few weeks ago now that i got a series x, cant wait to get started again
 
I honestly think we should be able to sort our list by completion percentage. I'd like to have all my completed games listed together.

It has been a highly requested feature for a number of years in the preview program and obviously it hasn’t happened. To be honest I wish they (the team working on such things) would take the initiative a bit more on these things and not rely on players to suggest it. There has been some nice features over the years however I feel in some ways they’ve regressed rather than lead like they did for 360 features for that time of ,console gaming. Achievements for example is one of them. IMO.

Impossible.
It will be even hard to port to Series X/S. This game is the new Crysis.
You can run Flight Simulator on a laptop at 30fps/1080p pretty easily. Maxing out all settings and getting high framerates on current PC hardware is the challenge.

It's not uncommon to have console spec games running some settings below the minimum PC specs either. Coupled with dynamic resolution and some console-specific optimization it's possible to have it perform acceptably.
 
^ I think Ubi would need to announce some kind of limited package first (like basic EA Play). I can't see them putting their new titles in there day and date.

Hey everyone
I cant believe i start a generation with a xbox console but i couldnt refuse the value proposition of the series console. I went back and fort between s and x since both are heavily available in where i live. (I live in istanbul and turkey is predominantly a playstation country)
I know later on i will buy a ps5 since i am invested in ps ecosystem and 1st party games thats why i went with series s.

You will no doubt get a lot of lists from people but honestly mate just go to gamepass and go down the list and try anything that even slightly grabs you, otherwise you may miss out on some great games you wouldn't normally consider. I've tried loads of games that just arent my "type" and thoroughly enjoyed a lot of them. Kinda the reverse of my sex life ironically....
