I've been playing through all three recently on an S. Fable II played fine I think. Anniversary I gave up on as it crashed frequently, a few sound issues and at one point there was a massive FPS drop which slowly recovered over a few minutes. I'm not sure this is to do with that fact that its on the XS though as I read people having similar issues when it was first released. I'd never played anniversary when it first came out but the controls/character movement do feel a bit like they weren't brought up-to-date and still very 2004. There's also some gameplay bugs that don't seem to have ever been patched. III is playing fine so far except the odd sound issue on a fight scene but it only lasts a few seconds.

Thanks. I never actually played them past an hour or so but I may just pass on the first.

Been playing lots of Warzone on my Series X at 1080p 120hz
I've just tried a PS4 Pro with warzone mainly to disable Crossplay and 1080p 60hz my eyes are in pain.
Can't believe the difference 120hz makes to the experience!

Sweet! I managed to order one aswel and was surprised they said ready to pick up today!! Chuffed!! Just have to figure out how to fetch it now.
Awesome. I'm going to use my wired controller which I prefer on my PC with it. Should be able to sell the one that comes with it to recoup some money back.

so Monday i managed to pre-order one from GAME and it was meant to ship yesterday and guess what it didn't.
but they have taken the money
ahhh, living the dream.

Guess MS wasn't wrong that it would be until April to get decent stock. Not sure what is worse the stock shortages or the fact we are nearly 6 months into launch as there isn't really any games for the system yet! Not that I am complaining I have got plenty to play on gamepass.

What's the average development time for a game? At least 1-2 years in a normal environment unless it's games like FIFA.
Pandemic has hit basically every sector of business.

1st rule of Xbox club... “Don’t buy from Game”..... lol

That's not a bad idea, I'll give the new one a go but may sell on. Like you, I use a wired pad on the PC so could use that since I am most used to it.
Given my current Xbox collection though, chances are I will keep it. The GF thinks I am crazy. Just need to find a working original Xbox again now.

I was feeling a bit meh with games in general, fired up Halo on the XSX and I'm back in the zone - graphics understandably look a bit dared but the music is as superb as I remember it.

Would the Samsung Odyssey G5 32 be a good buy for a series S?
