My boo Yakuza got a release date. I wonder if that's the release for Series X...

"There are some high reviews scores coming".
What a weird thing to say.

Kicking myself for not having played it either, it’s like Fallout meets Xcom. Developer being well respected also has got to bode well for review scores 

Fargo is regarded a legend by quite a few gamers who were playing PC games already in the 90s.

Wasteland 2 is one of the best game I played this gen! Cop Wasteland 3, you won’t regret. I’m getting it day 1.

Looking at some more Flight Simulator release footage, I'm totally okay with a later Xbox launch.
There are still a few bugs in the game, like when you pause the game the speed of your aircraft won't pause with you, so upon unpausing you might drop straight to the ground. Or when snow falls right through your cockpit.
Also, I hope they use the time and add some more landmarks in the meantime and fix some obvious world issues. I've seen spots in London that should have bridges over the Thames but instead it looks like a tunnel under water (the bridge right next to the House of Parliament for example).
The biggest issue I've seen is mid-sized skyscrapers. They can look very generic and out of place. Due to this issue, Shanghai and Hong Kong looked quite a bit different. Even New York as the most detailed city in the game is missing some skyscrapers.
Another thing that is hopefully getting improved is performance. It can get quite laggy during online play when there are many aircrafts around.

Not even going to watch this, but  

@Spade What would you like to see from a Saints 5?

Remember the last Rewards Top Deal where you could exchange 4000 points for €5 in MS currency?
Yeah I did that with all my points as I was sure that MS would let me pre-order Series X within the following months.
Back to present. No sign of a pre-order and my account balance will become invalid on September 12. If they don't announce it during Gamescom, I might have to spend my balance worth ~€150 on the current Gamescom sale (Doom Eternal and GRID for example).
That sucks as I wanted to use it to buy the new console. Might not buy Series X afterall this year. Maybe around Easter 2021.

EDIT: €150 is the amount I exchanged it a few months back. In the meantime, I have around 40k more points on my account.
On top of that I still have around €70 on my gf's account, which I couldn't have used to pay for the console but maybe pre-order a launch game. In any case, I have to get rid of €220 within the next 2 1/2 weeks.
And that's after already using some of the balance to get Divinity Original Sin 2, Trine Ultimate Collection, Wolfenstein 2 Complete and CoD MW2 Remastered.

Buy Doom Eternal.

There won't be any games better than Doom Eternal or Cyberpunk 2077 that you'll need a Series X to play, not for some time. I don't see much point buying a new system if it means missing out on the best games already available.
