Re: Talking Point: Do You Think This Generation Will Be A Short One?

Daleaf

@Ryu_Niiyama thats what im thinking were 4yrs in and havent really seen anything that has pushed the xbox or ps5 yet. If i hadnt got my ps5 and xbox early id be perfectly happy on ps4 still tbh. Everyone talking about ps5 pro and new consoles and im thinking i want to see something that pushes the ps5 xbox first, yes there have been a few games that look ok compared to ps4 but nothing where you go wow. This gen has been mostly faster loading so far and not much else. Been gaming since the 80s and id say this is probably worse generation so far for me, dont know if im just getting bored of gaming but this is the least ive played ever. Next gen defo will be waiting and ive been day one since the ps2 days

Re: 13 Useful Mechanics Starfield Doesn't Tell You About

Daleaf

I was about 10hrs in first playthrough and decided to start new game as wasnt too happy with the traits i had picked at start. Hadnt really done many missons just been exploring and few side quests so not too bad. Love the game, at moment its probably game of year for me.

Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Think Of Starfield So Far

Daleaf

Sweet, was hoping this was good, was going to wait till next week but, currently downloading i know should have done it last week, but havent really been gaming much last month, but just bought the premium upgrade so going to give it a go tomorrow night and all weekend. So glad its a good, for xbox they really needed this one to be good, a few disapointed games. Anyway hope this gets me back into gaming been really bored with it this year, got final fantasy havent finished it, got vr2 was ok for bit but nothing amazing so far, good but not amazing. Dont think i turned xbox on in around 3months.

Re: Talking Point: Do You Buy Less Third-Party Titles Because Of Xbox Game Pass?

Daleaf

I got my series s last year, have purchased 1 game for cheap, havent had to buy gamepass due to reward points. If i want a game and its not on gamepass and i want to play it, i will get it on ps5 as i prefer the controller. Its hard to see how this is sustainable tbh, as i guess a lot of ppl do the same using reward points, only use it for gamepass. I will just ride the wave while its still there lol.

Re: Roundup: Xbox Game Pass Romp 'Hi-Fi RUSH' Is Getting Fantastic Reviews So Far

Daleaf

Played a bit saturday night, it was ok but after beating the first boss i kind of got bored tbh. Dont know what all the fuss is about tbh. It looked great and right up my street from the trailer but didnt hit the spot for me. Might give it another go in a month or so.

Got age of empire dropping tomorrow so that should keep me happy for a bit.

Re: Poll: How Would You Grade January's Xbox Developer Direct?

Daleaf

Forza looked great, looking forward to that. Not sure on redfall, looks like it could be fun for a bit then get repetative but will give it a go defo might actually suprise. No interest in the other games tbh. Got goldeneye and ages of empire to keep me busy as well so some games to boot the series s for.

Re: NFS Unbound Dev Says Leaving Xbox One Behind Led To 'Transformative Racing Experience'

Daleaf

Well i played a few hours of the trial and i dont get it at all. Nothing next gen at all about it. Its ok for a quick spin, but gorza is just so much better anx feels more next gen than this. The dialouge just made me cringe, hate it when they try and be cool, maybe its me just being old but man i was really cringing listening to it. Controls felt a bit stiff. Think there is a decent game there, but wont be buying it, if it comes to gamepass or plus then will probably give it another go after trial finishes.

Re: Halo Infinite's Battle Pass Progression Is Being Updated In Response To Player Feedback

Daleaf

@JohnyHalo cheers mate, yea I think I just prefer the few bullet kills, just wasn't sure if I was missing something, and probably because I haven't played it before just felt a bit slow. Will try and give it another go to see if it clicks now that I know that's the type of game it is. But the feel/movement felt great so maybe just something to get used too, and to be fair I had just been playing cod before putting it on lol

Re: Forza Horizon 5 Players Are Finding The Game's Dialogue A Little Grating

Daleaf

Really enjoying Forza 5, did play a little of 4 in September but didn't want to burn myself out on it so put it to the the side until 5 launched, only been playing in short bursts so dialogue hasn't really bothered me tbh, the gameplay is really solid fair play, definitely one of the best racers available just great fun. Did the colossal race earlier man it was great took a good 10min or so to do. I think it would be better without the rewind option in the game makes you drive more carefully lol. But I guess you can also use it to see how much you can push certain parts without the punishment.

Re: Halo Infinite's Battle Pass Progression Is Being Updated In Response To Player Feedback

Daleaf

Only got an Xbox few months back, I was looking forward to playing halo after hearing so many good things about it, didn't finish the first game as I got bored and thought it might be because it was a bit old now. Gave halo a go last night and I just don't get what is so great about it tbh. Had to empty pretty much a full clip to kill anyone in it, don't know it might be me missing something with it, I just found it a bit bland tbh. So if anyone can enlighten me, am I missing something do I need to upgrade weapons or something to kill people quicker. I just prefer few shots and dead more than bullet sponge.
