True. I've seen some of the planned stuff for next year gamepass this week and it is fecking fire.
Gaming PS5 vs Xbox Series S|X
- Thread starter afrocentricity

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
I've had my first two days with my XSX now.
On the plus side is most definitely GPU. Having a library of good quality and current games on demand is fantastic. As someone who never got into the Xbox in any of its previous iterations, having the chance to play through their previous classic exclusives is great. In addition, the promise of having the future first party games is going to be a game changer.
There were already loads of games that were on my to get list which I now don't have to pay a penny for cos of GPU and the overall usability of it is great.
However, in saying all that, the PS5 is still my preferred machine. The UX is much better and straightforward to use on there than the XSX. Their exclusives are genuinely better on the whole and there aren't any must not miss games on the X as yet. A lot of decent games for sure, and I'm also pretty accepting of the idea that the X will run third party games better, but there hasn't been a single experience I've had on the X that compares to the experience I had with God of War for example. A lot of nice, pleasant experiences for sure, but none which dragged me in like that, and a couple other games on the PS.
I think the way to go will ultimately be to get both if Microsoft are as serious about this and future generations as they say they are. PlayStation is going to end up having to do something about GPU though. The economics of that proposition is going to eventually tell for a lot of potential consumers, I'm sure.

Just to add to this, I tested out the multimedia features of the X today for the match and some movies/videos, and they honestly paled in comparison to the PS5. The colour reproduction was much, much better on the latter and the former had this annoying judder effect on the videos, irrespective of which app I used - YouTube, Prime Video, or the Sky app in particular.
However, on the plus side of the X, Disney Plus was a much better experience than it was on the PS5. Seemed to be 4k and 60hz minimum compared to the PS5's 1080p and 30hz
As I was saying.Halo best multiplayer FPS
if you like a game geared towards beginners and does most of the aiming for you, sure.
He just isn't very good at the game mate
That's like winning the most structurally stable turd in a diarrhea competition.
Yeah sure.Happy to play against any of you anytime on Halo
Lets really see huh?
Where did you place on ranked again? Made diamond yet?
In all seriousness, as I've said before, if you take issue with controller and don't want to use it- just play mouse only lobby. If you want to play it with mates on pads then obviously you have to accept the other team might have pads too.
Just think it's a really weird thing to hold against a game so strongly when the option for same input is there.
If anything, that games like apex don't have that option is frustrating as I can't play it with mouse unless I have a PC.
Halo is the least trash of all the auto-aim console shooters.
And yeh, that is quite like being the least stinky turd in the dog kennel.

It's amazing that Halo is pilloried for having aim assist when most of the cherished games on PlayStation also have aim assist. As I have said before different goalposts.
Ponies gonna Pony.
Halo is gash.
The campaign is great. The multiplayer not so much.
I'm the only one that mentions that and i explicitly play all shooters on PC, ya daft git.
The problem also isn't the aim assist, controllers need it, it's about the types being used now and the insane bumping the reaction times to keep console shooters on top of the pro scene as that's where the money is. It always makes me laugh when people cry "hackers!" whilst using a controller on PC.
As for Halo, does it still use AA for mouse, or have the morons done the right thing and fully taken it out?

Aim assist free in movement but bullet magnetism is still there in a small degree.
Interesting people don't have a problem with being made artificially better so they keep playing
And again, console lovers, I'm not talking about bare bones aim assist that controllers need. It's moved well on from that now.
Biggest month ever 
The Switch just won't stop selling out there, the numbers are pretty amazing, I'm surprised that MS aren't trying in Japan though.
The Famitsu software top 10 from the same thread:
The Japanese have atrocious taste in games that's all that shows.
Got my switch out for xmas to do some 1-2 switch and other multiplayer games. Even now after 4 years on the market I think the catalogue is pretty average if you had a Wii U.
I did enjoy the days when Xbox tried to be taken seriously in the Japanese market it brought out the gem that was Lost Odyssey (closest thing to the classic final fantasy's) i'd love another one of them, great game.
They were fighting an impossible battle.
They were fighting an impossible battle.
I don't disagree for Nintendo's own games but it's really good I think for RPGs. They're not everybody's cup of tea but probably the best console for them since PSP
Hold on. I read lots of articles and threads last year about how seriously XBox was taking Japan. How it would be a return to XB360 era or something? What happened?
The same as every single Xbox puff piece and hype attempt.
Next gen is our gen 'la!
Next Gen! we gotta wait that long? Honestly, I want a return of 360 era XBox..... not looking likely though as it stands.
Agree on both fronts. Never see the appeal of alot of stuff from over there.
Is the switch even aimed at proper adults? Seems a very child friendly console. Adults who bum it to death probably aren't all there in the head.
Don't worry, apparently the developers are happy, they are the best, they are the greatest, and they have so many the best games will come. MXBGA!
This is such a poor attempt it doesn't even deserve any kind smilie. For shame.
? 360 was defined mostly by its wide variety of games and Series S/X is probably the closest equivalent with gamepass.

What games?
I don't need a massive variety of games if 90% of them are shit and I will never play.
Give me blockbusters which I can play for weeks on end any day. Mixed with a sprinkle of golf / racing games and I'm sound.

Xbox is quantity over quality.
Doesn't help their cause when their "exclusives" are available on superior platforms on day one either.
I've said it before, MS need to be more concerned with Valve and the Steamdeck over Sony. That'll steal so much more of their market.

Well just this month we've got two fantastic smaller titles on gamepass in Gorogoa and Outer Wilds so I really don't think that's always true.
I maintain that Xbox is a really good console(s) if you're interested in variety and not just looking to play the best looking AAA titles (nothing wrong with that either ofc)

Outer wilds is great, you sarcastic prick!
Just don't mention that I own it for life for less than a third of the monthly gamepass cost (games are free dontcha know!) and I'll never lose access to it...
With the amount they put on there it's unsurprising there's the odd gem, but once again it's third party titles that can be played on better platforms.
There'll never be a true Xbox exclusive.
Steamdeck will be niche. Neither need to worry about it.
That's your favourite word. You need to start using that word of the day toilet roll more often.
Didn't mean to be sarcastic but I'm tired so my apologies if it came across that way
Anyway, it is a great game and that's a fair point too. It's the sort of game I wouldn't have played if it weren't available on gamepass (which perhaps says more about me etc...)
