I've tried to play High on Life but it's really not good. Shooting gameplay is boring as enemies have little differentiating between them and there's only one gun (and knife) to use till now (almost finished the second stage). The dialogue is hit and miss with it's humor, even if it's funny though the gameplay makes the overall game boring.

I'll still continue playing to see if it improves but a pretty average game thus far.

Loved Halo Infinite and still feel like turning it on eventhough I've finished the campaign to finish the side quests. The difference in gameplay between that and High On Life is huge (I know HOL is also about it's humor but like I said it can't compensate).

Also starting Senua's Sacrifice so that I can complete it before the sequal comes out.
Yeah, I think I have to agree. I'm at a similar stage to where you are.

I tried persisting because of all the positive praise it got on release, and the prologue was pretty cool, but the gunplay and enemy variety kills the gameplay.

I've downloaded Halo Master Chief Collection on GamePass and going to start from Halo 2 :drool: never got to play it because it didn't come out on PC till so long later.
 
Which Forza? As an Xbox newbie, forza is summat I’ve been contemplating getting, maybe horizon. Which is the better for a series to go for?
Forza Motorsport. You can't really go wrong with either series, though if you want to play something "newer" then it really only leaves Horizon 5.

Spoiler: it’s shit and hasn’t aged well.

Both are Gamepass day ones. If you've not got Gamepass, get Gamepass.

Horizon is the arcadey open world one. Motorsport more like Gran Turismo track racing. Horizon looks incredible too and is a lot of fun.
 
Is there still hope for Stalker 2? Seems the studio had to evacuate their office in Kyiv but are still working on putting the game out this year?! Fair fecks!
 
Redfall looks decent. Cant be as shite as B4B anyway.

Just watched the footage they put out tonight. Better than what they've shown before but I still feel like they aren't great at marketing their games.

They'd have been better just cutting between players taking on a single mission and skipping forward to show us start, middle, end / evacuation / boss. Even just small things like turning off the HUD doesn't help. I know it makes it more cinematic, but it makes it hard to tell how solid the gunplay is, especially with so much hip fire shots. Plus, it'd be cool to see the skills and their cool downs to get a feel for it.


Me and my mates smashed Vermintide so this is right up our street. Just hope the gunplay is better than Arkane's usual efforts. Apparently iD tech were involved to help them with this.

Are those three masterpieces not good enough for you MS?
I mean, I have no interest at all in Minecraft or ESO, so for me it's just a Forza game most likely not out until closer to the end of the year, a shadow-dropped game, and another game I'm not too overly invested in.

Feel they really should have included 3rd party showcases of what's to come. Atomic Heart, Wo Long, Stalker 2 etc.
 
The years only just begun, you never know things might pick up
 
You guys crack me up, you really do :lol:
Some envy inducing exclusives this year dude. As a pure Sony fanboy I was jealous enough to buy an Xbox in preparation.

If starfield can fulfil its promise that will be a huge boost for Xbox. And I know it won’t be out just yet but the most eagerly awaited game ever is a Microsoft exclusive.
 
Imagine being an actual console fanboy. These guys would be red raw if that was a Gran Turismo preview
 
too many user names beginning with "V" I cant tell them apart
 
Think I'll get the series S if the new Forza Motorsport is any good. Horizon 5 I've yet to play but looks interesting. Had no interest in GTR 7 because of the grinding element. It's a shame how much driving games have declined as AAA titles over the last decade or so.
