Started playing The Ascent and it's already given me a better cyberpunk visual experience than CP2077.

 

[Iceman]

Visuals look nice.

 

[Silvermoth]

Yeah there’s so many games out there prettier and more fun than cyberpunk 2077. I recommend ghostrunner

It was given for free for those with an Amazon Prime sub. It's somewhere on top of my backlog.

 

[Silvermoth]

Oh yeah then definitely give it a go! It’s a delight

Forza, Halo Infinite campaign and Age of Empires all flying high in the Steam charts.

 

[Dave McFly]

man I really want one after getting annoyed by the excess loading time in Horizon 5 on my One X, the game is installed on the HD it should not have such stupid loading between parts of a race. the Series S/X and PC don't from what I seen,

Yeah, I've not really noticed loading times on Series X.

 

[Dave McFly]

yeah the S/X has WAY less loading or none depending on the game.

I was at a Best Buy saturday and they only had the S model but they had about 10/15 behind the checkout areas and the guy ahead of me had 3 in his cart. I would have thought cause of such a shortage of consoles they would really limit how many you can get at once.

 

[Silvermoth]

I hope that man is visited in the night by the ghost of consoles past, present and yet to come on Christmas Eve

Surely got to be a maximum of 1 per person. Dumb to allow multiple consoles per person when others are crying out for them.

Finally I landed a pre-order! I am certain people are relieved for me, the only person to find 2021 difficult

Congrats! Yes very relieved for you . Hope you enjoy it.

 

[Silvermoth]

Thanks! I must say the Xbox community feels a lot more calm than in the early noughties. Of course there’s crazies in every community but still…progress

Yes it was still a bit crazy in the 360 era but I agree, certainly seems calmer than it was in the past.

I am so jelly I may have to change my name to Smuckers

 

[Silvermoth]

Your time will come!

 

[Iceman]

I am so jelly I may have to change my name to Smuckers

Good luck mate. Hope you get one asap.

STALKER 2 Gets Five Gorgeous New Screens and Info on Survival Elements, Longevity, New Factions and Enemies

Hnngh... Looks amazing, even though they may be "bullshots".

 

[Gee]

Welp, this is very disappointing... Fortunately it's Day 1 on Game Pass so I'll just wait for one of those three months for $1 promo offers.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is getting NFTs, including one that can make you an in-game "metahuman"

 

[Silvermoth]

That’s dumb. Less NFTs, more QTs

I'm not bothering with learning about NFTs for now but looking forward to the game.

 

[Silvermoth]

They’ve reversed the decision already apparently

 

[Iceman]

Yep
