It definitely does seem like these launch games issues are down to the late dev kits and incomplete dev tools.

It also explains Halo Infinite tbh. Even though they would have received target specs and the GDK sooner than the 3rd parties.

It's actually crazy to think that XsX is reaching parity in a lot of the games all things considered.

Bought the new Calls of Doody because of all the drama here, and I read the RT on it looks nice. First two campaign levels are very solid, movement and gunplay feel very good. MP is surprisingly good. They activated Nuketown 24/7 today. TTK is just the right amount imho. I dig how Ghost doesn't hide you from UAV's if you are being a campy bitch, too. It's the most I have enjoyed a CoD MP since Black Ops II probably.

It hard crashes my XSX though. Has happened three times today. Anyone else playing the MP and getting this issue? It boots right back up no problem. And goddamn the thing loads quick. I also get these random moments where my screen goes black for a second then comes back, anyone else having this issue? It's pretty sporadic.

Haven't crashed for me once. But I've read that the issue came with the last 15GB update. I haven't touched the game after that, so probably that's why it probably never happened to me.

It was crashing like crazy for me too. UNTIL I realized that for some reason the "Xbox One" version was instralled.

You need to check in your "game list" if you have the logo X|S displayed on the COD game. If not you installed the wrong one.

Expect to see a lot of game patches either way. Codemasters is fixing up Dirt 5, and I understand Ubisoft is working on an Assassin’s Creed Valhalla patch for the Xbox Series X to improve gameplay. Microsoft is also working with developers to resolve issues and has acknowledged the comparison videos in a statement to The Verge.

Well, guess I'm waiting for that patch before I pick the game up then. Still have to finish Doom, Doom eternal, Forza 7 and Cyberpunk. I got time.

Speaking of Doom Eternal, anyone pick up the Old Gods DLC? How was it? Thinking about getting the season pass even before I start the campaign.

I've beaten it. It's really hard. Prepare for some real challenge. It is way harder than the base game and a true test of skill.

I've installed proper Series X version right from the start. I've heard that there are issues that it installs Xbox One version by default because of Activision being greedy and not offering Smart Delivery. But thank god I've cancelled it because I didn't want to install everything which it does right after buying the game.

The difficulty doesn't really concern me. I got all of the achievements on Doom and Doom 2 on console. Up to and including punching out a cyberdemon, I got it.

I want to know if it's good. Thinking about holding out until part 2 comes out as well as the Series X enhancement patch.

We've passed the half way mark of taking over the previous Empire thread, 14,042 in almost 11 months.

Also been consistently smashing that 1k posts per month target set earlier in the year.

Oh wow, I loved Mechassault 2 on the original Xbox, one of my favourites! Is this MechWarrior 5 out already on PC? Is it any good?

We are excited and proud to announce that now, in addition to playing MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries on PC, it will also be available on the XBox Series X|S and XBox One. This will be the first MechWarrior title on a console since 2004's MechAssault 2, and in our opinion, the first true MechWarrior experience ever on a console.

Spring 2021.

This is cool but honestly, I kind of wish Microsoft would stop licensing out FASA IP (IIRC Jordan Weisman has exclusive licensing to Shadowrun and Crimson Skies, while Piranha has exclusive licensing to MechWarrior) and instead bring them under XGP.

Reason being, Microsoft firstly gets more control, they can guarantee Xbox release alongside PC, also licensing takes away any effort on Microsoft's part and just leaves it up to the developer to fund it, I would instead like to see Microsoft invest in the IP themselves (Piranha and Jordan can keep exclusive rights but I just want Xbox to get more involved in funding).

Mechwarrior 5 is on PC Game Pass (at least it was).

But this is fantastic news, played a lot of Mechwarrior 2 and 3 as a kid. 2021 just got better :)



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

It's insane how huge Supraland is and how complex the puzzles can be.

If you like puzzle platformers you should definitely try it. Reminds me a lot of Portal in some way (and Grounded visually).
