Nah, it's like 100gb. I deleted that shit as soon as possible when I finished the SP.

My breakdown of Avengers is this:

Main campaign:
+Better than average story/cutscenes/VA
-Terrible levels and gameplay
+/- decent grind game in multiplayer

Kate Bishop campaign:
-Nothing story, though Kate is well written and good VA
-Slightly better levels and gameplay
+/- probably still better in multiplayer

Hawkeye campaign:
+Ok story
+/- most decent single player gameplay of the bunch, still not great but passable
+/- probably fun in multiplayer

Black Panther campaign:
+Ok story, Black Panther is cool
-Still generally crappy gameplay solo, better than the base game, but not as good as Hawkeye campaign
+/- probably fun in MP


Basically I'd say you either buddy up and play it with friends or you're better off just watching the cutscenes on youtube. The game has really nice graphics but the platforming is utter shite, the puzzles are awful, the enemies are grindy zzz and the bosses are terrible. The combat is solid but the enemies just aren't fun to use it against. And the drops and stuff suck and aren't cosmetic which is zzz.

I really enjoyed enjoyed the game play

Yeah, some people do like it.

Just never clicked with me. The whole thing where every environment and enemy has to be able to be accessed or killed using any hero basically took away all distinction from them and made a very bland platforming/combat experience for me.

I get why they had to make it that way as a multiplayer pick anyone game, but I really would've preferred a single player game where stages/enemies are tooled for specific heroes, so that every character doesn't just double jump 200 ft just because.

2. What the fuck is the official Xbox news site doing saying it's available on Game Pass now, if Namco says it isn't? That's not a rumor, that's a communications fuckup.

If you want to see what ray tracing can do give CONTROL Ultimate Edition a whirl.
Not sure how well Cyberpunk 2077 runs on the Series X now but that's mindblowing in the graphics department.
Resident Evil Village comes to mind also.

And don't forget about Tales of Arise which just dropped and is absolutely gorgeous.
It's funny now that the Series X is out I finally get to see what the One X can do.  :doge

Yeah these games look amazing, I think I'll wait until Forza Horizon 5 drops next month and get in on the ground floor with new players with the online (I assume a lot of the game is online based?)

I already played and got all cheevos in Control Xbone original edition at the start of the year, but the game is so good I would play it again (might wait for it to come to gamepass or a sale though).

Thanks for reminding me about Resi 8, I was keen to play it at launch but I told myelf I'd wait for the optimised experience on the Series X. That'll be my first stop after the Ascent I think...

Will try and think about Tales next time I want an RPG.

I'm really stoked some stock finally arrived in NZ and I was able to get a Series X, I had been wanting one for months. Such a massive upgrade in performance over Xbone S

Yeah just the original edition of Control is on gamepass (which is what I played and beat already). They might put the ultimate edition up but would be kinda weird to have two versions of same game on the service. I'll keep an eye on sales I'm sure I'll be able to get it half off sooner or later

Yeah you can already find the Control UE for 10€ or so on PC (steam version), so it can't be much highr on xbox.

It's no 4K120 but the Series X does push the Xbox One version to a locked 60fps through their FPS boost stuff.

The best showcase of next-gen stuff might actually be the patched version of Metro Exodus. But you'd have to contrast it to the old console version for it to really show.

Games can come, go, and come back on GamePass. It's not like people complain about regaining access to a title.

I mean, outside of DP1 and D4 his games suck and the weirdness is all they have going for them. Good Life is like 60 metacritic or something and from all impressions I read just sounds like fetch quests the game.

I used to think Swervy and Suda51 were pretty similar in janky weird bad games quality, but nah, Swervy is a terrible gameplay designer and Suda51 is hit & miss.

*edit* Actually the Switch version metacritic for Good Life is 45, yeaaaaah, game sounds real bad.

Players will also be able to experience Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas – The Definitive Edition with Xbox Game Pass starting November 11.

Though honestly I expect everyone to just buy the trilogy out right instead
