IGN: Xbox Series X Is Great, But It Needs Games ASAP

It has games, I'm playing the new releases on Gamepass. Unto the End, Morkredd, Call of The Sea, and all the Yakuza games. Also The Medium is coming out in January 2021. It is getting games, but Journalists.. .seem to be ignoring everything that is gamepass related most of the times. Or if its not God of War, or Horizon levels than it doesn't count which seems to be the situation with The Medium, and Ascent ?
 
The medium and scorn and the ascent come out soon, I think? I believe they are all day and date on gamepass too.
I'm going to do a bit of a troll here, but those aren't third person cinematic action set pieces with something deep or meaningful to say so those don't count. I swear anything that is not a TPS Cinematic game, or is a high fidelity game gets ignored by the press.

I've had both for a month and while I did spend a lot of time with PS5, now I'm playing the Xbox a lot more now that I've exhausted the PS5 launch titles. I guess I'm not playing any games according to these "journalists"?

I'm switching around between my gaming pc and the xbox (some titles dont end up on the PC gamepass). The PS5 is gathering dust though after playing the Miles Morales, and Demon's Souls, also Pathless.

I do want something XSX/S specific games that utilizes the next gen power (supposedly) - but already logged in like 70 hours into Dragon Quest XI Definitive Edition, and not even halfway thru. O_O - and before that, it was Nier Automata on Game Pass that I logged in almost 100 hours.

I guess if you live on the bleeding edge of having no backlog of games, it's a valid one.... but it all comes down to individuals. Interestingly, I haven't really touched my PS5 much - but I am looking forward to play Persona 5 Royal that I got on Black Friday sale on it soon.... but I may go for something shorter for a change of pace.

I was expecting CP2077 to do it for me, but we all know how that went.


The PS5 only has Spiderman and Demons Soul's. Whoopee.

Both consoles could and should have launched next year.

And pack-in Astrobot.
I’m of the camp that the consoles should’ve just been delayed too.

I agree that if Cyberpunk didn’t run as well as it does on the XsX (currently playing in Quality mode), I wouldn’t really be interested in playing anything except Forza Horizon 4.

CP2077 justifies my early-adopt purchase of the system though, even before the eventual next-gen patch.

Well, Demon's Souls (my GOTY), Spider-Man Remastered, Spider-Man Miles Morales, Astro's Playroom (fantastic), The Pathless and Sackboy that I'm playing now and is great.

2021 so far only has - Ratchet and Clank: Into the Nexus, Returnal, Horizon Forbidden West, Final Fantasy XVI, God of War Ragnarok, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Destruction All-Stars, Deathloop, Ghostwire Tokyo and Gran Turismo 7.

I'm sure Xbox's line-up looks much better, right?

Just finished Call of the Sea and really liked it, now I'm playing Gears Tactics, will be playing Gears Hivebusters and finishing FO3. By that time The Medium and Scorn should be out. I still need to play DQ XI, Valhalla and Control Ultimate. I also want to play the Dead Space trilogy but Game Pass keeps interrupting those plans.

Whew, good thing Xbox has no games or I'd be buried in games.

Dunno, don't care. Kena (pc version) is the only game in that list that interets me.

Now that we're a month into the Xbox Series X run, we've gathered reviewers from three outlets to discuss if the new Microsoft console is living up to the hype. The hardware certainly shows a lot of promise but a lack of first-party support isn't doing Series X any favors.

Hopefully Hellblade will arrive sooner than later. The first one was made in very little time, irc.
I love your nick.

Yeah, idk about that. Because of the option to run at 30 FPS?

Right now, there is no Series X OR PS5 version of Cyberpunk - just BC. If anything, the game runs slightly better on PS5 despite not having the option that no one in their right mind would use anyway.
I hope you did not take my post that much seriously, even tho, Cyberpunk v. 1.0.4.0 is tolerable I guess.

I'd agree if I'd had an 1X or had been keeping up with Gamepass on PC. I hadn't so I bought one knowing I'd have all that to play as there's a ton of Gamepass games I want to catch up on, games I want to replay on there etc. Also ended up getting Cyberpunk on there as I wanted the 30fps quality mode option and glad I did as I strongly prefer that to the 60fps performance mode. It's a game where I want to go slow and take in the sights so the better resolution, graphics, denser pedestrian and car traffic adds more for me that 60fps. I've never bee that fussed about 60 vs 30 fps anyway. As long as the frame rate is stable, I'm good.

Looks like a lot of PS4 games, a PS3 remaster and timed exclusives listed as your killer apps there.

I’ll be laughing my ass off at all the port begging when Avowed, TES 6, Doom 3, Fallout 5 and Starfield release. iT jUSt MaKEs SeNSe foR MicrOSoFT tO ReLeaSE THESe gaEms oN PlAYStAtiON. Lmfao.
