All for trashing Sony when they deserve it but I’ve been playing Hogwarts Legacy on Xbox Series X and haven’t had any issues.

DF vid shows it's a bit worse performance on the X. Plays fine, yeah, but side by side it's more stable on PS5.

I Just bought Pinball FX 3 Indiana Jones via VPN using a Turkey code and it initially told me cold didn't work so I just kept pressing back and pasting the code again and by the fifth time it went through and I'm using Surfshark.

Thanks, brute forcing the code like this worked.

 

I'm going to avoid Turkey codes for a while.

Metro Exodus Gold for 8 bucks is tempting

 

Need a deeper sale on Midnight Suns

[Euripides]

Which VPN are you using?

On my Android Phone it is called VPN Turkey.

 

I see you got the code to work and yes I sometimes have to try multiple times as well. In the end they have all gone through. just more of an annoyance versus Argentina ones.

Pray for Midnight Suns on Game Pass 

 

2K seems to be cozying up more to PS+ though as the service has more 2K games than Xbox atm. Borderlands 3 AND The Quarry?! Feelsbadman

According to DF, Hogwarts Legacy runs "substantially more stable" on PS5. Same with Callisto. Sony actually sent like 150 devs to help with development of Callisto. You can see them listed in the end credits when you beat the game.

Figures, that’s why starfield and elder scrolls 6 and anything else that’s Microsoft paid for needs to be Xbox pc exclusive…Sony doesn’t play fair and I know gta 6 will be better on PlayStation. I bought a ps5 to play final fantasy 7 remake which has been out years now and no signs of coming out on Xbox.

Microsoft don’t give in to Sony please

Rumor is that Sony was trying to get Starfield exclusive to Playstation just like they did with Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo. I'm still waiting on Ghostwire. Hopefully next month! 

 

You're right, I don't think Final Fantasy 7 remake is ever coming to Xbox.

Turn on graphics mode with ray tracing. I tried this and the game is unplayable. A stuttering mess. I have it back on performance mode and a lot of times the lighting looks terrible. When I talk to the main old guy you deal with it looks like something is trying to crawl out of his face. There are definitely some pretty bad issues on the Series X for me.

I’m glad there’s an option to uncap the frame rate so I can enjoy it on the next Xbox console :3

[Sielanas]

And remember that Hogwarts previous gen versions are in limbo. The game already didn't hit the performance goals. I didn't have Wild Hearts problems but I certainly saw some. Scope creep is the true evil combined with questionable managers at all these places. I see deadlines and incompetence instead of malice.


I picked up Forza 7 Ultimate for $40 at cdkeys, got 3 cheevos to pop when I booted it.

 

Installing Atomic Heart from PC Gamepass, this should be an interesting back and forth comparison.

[bardockkun]

Well that Soul Hackers rumor was true.

[Antarael Dulacre]

I still don't regret buying the digital premium edition for Soul Hackers 2... glad more people can enjoy the game.

warning though it's quite a bit different from the Persona Games however if you enjoy the Shin Megami Tensei Series, it's probably for you..

I prefer the main line Shin Megami games so I guess I should give this game another go. I preordered it and played about 10 minutes of it and honestly didn’t give it a real chance.

For those of you with a Switch you should give Shin Megami Tensei V a go. I don’t typically have time for long games but I couldn’t stop playing it.

So ridiculously challenging, but incredible soundtrack.
 

Also off topic, but holy shit GameStop has been ass these past few months. Like I'm glad they haven't done buy 1 get 1 free sales again so I wouldn't be tempted, but things like lost shipments and their near useless customer service and now they've sent me a shipping e-mail for my Like a Dragon pre-order I got for my friend as a gift. Problem is it has no shipping number and doesn't tell me if it's shipping the game or the steelbook. So yeah, cool...

Rolled credits on Midnight Suns. What a great game! It's shame it didn't do better financially, I'd buy a sequel day one.

 

I bought the discounted Legendary edition, well worth the $$$, so there are still 3 more DLC characters (with missions) coming. I'll go back to it after they are all here.

I was interested in it but they lost me with the whole card thing. I will have to try it out if my library gets it

It was playable for free this past weekend on Steam if you have a decent gaming rig. I tried it and it's actually really slick. I just wish it was Play Anywhere though.

[SIX min WHISTLE]

15 minutes is a lot. They must be hoping to turn the tide for the game with this.

All 3rd party games. Is Sony really going to go all of 2023 without releasing a single 1st party game for PS5 this year?

I don't really play PC games anymore. My desktop was last updated for Diablo 3's release. My laptop might run it but it also might blow up lol

Storage Card for Xbox Series, 1TB SSD - $139.99 - Free shipping for Prime members https://sellout.woot...&utm_source=app

Woot has the Series expansion card for $139. Seems like a decent deal… but I was hoping for some sale on the MS store so I could use my funbux, but it may be time to give up on that hope. :|

Must have had like 1 in stock. Sales stats show only buyers in NJ and for 1 hour.

I mean... not many people are going to shell out $1200 just to play a VR game but hey if that's what floats your boat...

 

I didn't see many people championing Xbox when they were releasing games for Kinect. VR has been around since the 80s and it still hasn't taken off, not sure what's going to be different this time. I mean I still have both Kinect cameras and I loved it for what it was, I'm sure that's how people feel about PSVR2 but it's still going to be inaccessible for majority of players.

All 3rd party games. Is Sony really going to go all of 2023 without releasing a single 1st party game for PS5 this year?

Spider-man 2 is the big first party game release for this year and maybe some other surprises from other internal studios we are not aware of. They also have the exclusive third party games Final Fantasy 16 and maybe Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth releasing this year. I think they are fine. All I know is I have never come away from a State of Play with any hype so I'm not expecting anything different here.

 

I also have no interest in VR and nothing is going to change that for me personally.

I was concerned about the card thing at first, but turns out it's really fun. Try it next time there's a free weekend. Or wait for Gamepass.

Also decided to go the Gameflip route for the new Pinball FX stuff.  I purchased all the new exclusive tables (14 codes total) for $19.40.
