Xbox Series X / S

[AlphaJohn]

I've had Origins since launch but not yet played it, I also picked up Oddysee at the Musica clearance for R250. Or free depending on which game out of the 3 I choose to be free.
I only just started Tomb Raider Rise of the Tomb Raider recently and I'm glad I waited for the Series X

Also bought Tomb Raider and Rise when they where on sale (Got Shadow of the Tomb on PS) planning to mix them into my rotation with Darksidesrs and such. Soooo many games so little time esp when I mix them with GamePass once (like Dirt 5 today)

I need a clone to come work while I game.

VALA is actually developed by a South African. I believe he is a MyBroadband forumite too.

That is very cool. What an accomplishment. Kudos to him man. I can't get past my idea for a game.

I see Matt works for Rare now.

When I showed the kids VALA on the xbox last weekend, they could not stop laughing at the llamas. They did not believe me when I told them it was an SA game...

That is pretty cool. Might give the multiplayer side a go. I have Free Play days to thank for finishing the campaign

This reminds me:
Still want a proper Joystick set & Steering Wheel for my Xbox

Any recommendations?
Oh and I am not planning on spending R10K for a set.

I have been tempted to buy Star Wars Squadrons but thought it will come to GP some time in the future.

Glad I waited.

I am currently busy with Control, I can never go back to 30FPS again. The difference is huge.

On Rise of the Tomb Raider I select high frame rate, as yes enriched visuals looks good, but the high frame rate is just so smooth.

I might just give it a try for that reason alone.

Oooh Assassins Creed Sale for next 5 Days.

I own and would highly recommend:
AC Origin Deluxe Edition (R232)
AC Odyssey Gold (R435) (Includes all the DLC's and AC 3:remastered)

I recently finished Origin +2 x DLC's in 112 hours and busy with Odyssey, only 12 hours in and I would already rate Odyssey as best AC to date. Both well worth playing.

Also if you want almost complete series (Bar DLC's) check out:
Enzo Collection (R210) AC 2, AC Brotherhood and AC Revelations
Triple Pack (R363) AC Black Flag, AC Unity and AC Syndicate
Origin (R200)
Odyssey (R300)

For a Total of only = R1073

And if you must, the latest Valhalla (R840)
Personally I'm def picking up Enzo collection and the Triple Pack as I am planning to revisit them on console, will wait till end of the year before I touch Valhalla.

Edit: Update, watch tipple pack price. buying the games separate is cheaper. (3 x R119) Only noticed this cause wanted Syndicate Gold Edition.

I’ve got most of them. Still 5 to play.

Check cdkeys before you buy.
Got Unity for R41.79

What The F was Codemasters thinking that did Dirt 5?

The game looks like an candy coated arcade game where some bozo drank florescent paint and puked over. Don't know if this is an cartoon game that wanna add natural elements or an natural game that wanna add cartoon element. Also all the cars in a category handle about the same so you simply buy cars in a category based on its looks.

The Ray tracing leave obvious gaps in some models, and the lighting is just plain unnatural. I get now what the reviewers where on about.

Solid nope not the same franchise... from me.

If you look at it as a "coin fed" arcade game then it could be fun. Just don't think of it as a rally game.

Best AC to date... well for me it is.

I don't think Dirt 5 uses ray tracing on the consoles. When watching some DF vidoes they didn't even mention signs of RT. I think they use screen space reflections or something like that. Of course, there is a chance that I missed them saying it uses RT.

I also noticed how things are very colourful, but I quite like it. As for liking the game itself, can't say it's a must play. It's more of an in betweener game for me. I am not as big into car games as I used to be.
