[Nebuchadnezzar]

Picked up Dying Light and DLC for 9 quid for the Series X. Heard great things but I'm an hour in and I've got to say, I'm finding it a bit shit. Hoping it picks up quick. Anybody played it?

Did you stick with it? I played until about 80% through the main story. Thought it wasn't a terrible game, best enjoyed in a group perhaps. I played in a team of 2 with a mate a few times and had fun.

Demon Souls
Ghost of Tsushima
Returnal
God of War

Are all great

Cheers. Enjoyed God of War, no so keen on souls like games though.

Started last of us 2 really enjoying it, much better than the first, which I found very slow and boring.
Wish I could get used to aiming though. Used to a mouse and keyboard which is much easier.

Is there a reason why the Xbox X is quite a bit cheaper than a PS5?

Pretty sure Microsoft make a loss on consoles to get people to buy into game pass and their infrastructure

They both make a loss. Only Nintendo has ever made money on hardware.

They were both priced the same at launch, increased price is due to £ falling against dollar and with stock usually being sold out Sony has no reason to absorb bigger losses.

Microsoft have said that they will be increasing price at some point though.

Vampire Survivors.

Video game crack. It's absolutely brilliant

And there’s now a load of similar games to Vampire Survivors, each with their own differences. I like ‘Brotato’ and ‘Rogue: Genesia’. Both worth trying if you’re addicted to Vampire Survivors.

Im currently on PS4 but noticed titles are now not being released on it. The size of the PS5 is putting me off a bit but also noticed it was cheaper for an xbox. Dont really play online anymore so might make the switch over

Series S great value for money can get it for £181 atm and vpn turkey to get gamepass cheap.

Something to consider. You don't need to have an Xbox to play gamepass anymore.

I've tried this out on my TV and very playable depending on Internet speed and number of users on your network.
