MS is offering Game Pass Ultimate for $2 for 2 months, getting it now. $2 is a very fair deal to play Gears 5 campaign :p

If Death Stranding is available day 1 with $2 PS+, you can bet I'll subscribe to that too :p

On topic, played the first chapter. Just like Gears 4, game is hella well optimized. Running 1080p/60 on my laptop with mostly high's, some ultra's and a medium or two .. and there isn't even an NVidia game ready driver out for this, that's supposed to release with the game's proper release date.

Also, not gonna lie, that 'beginner' auto aim which 100% pinpoints every enemies heads is real tempting to play the whole game with lol.

I wouldn't recommended anything less than the Experienced difficulty.

And prioritize upgrading Jack. He's da real MVP.

Just got to the open world, I don't think anyone's going to come out of this game saying the open world part was their favorite. It's so .. feature-less. Even ODST's hub had more stuff to do than this. Other then that, it's a very solid game and a worthy follow up to Gears 4 IMO.

I *really* love that the story is revisiting Gears 2 story elements that were completely ignored in Gears 3.

can my GPU even handle it ? it's a 6GB 1060 Max Q.
Yes it can.

Pretty easy to spot that you weren't using it even in your 1080p shots. Its a pretty significant boost especially in cut scenes.

Xbox One X uses a dynamic resolution with the lowest native resolution found being 1920x1080 and the highest native resolution found being approximately 3200x1800. A form of temporal reconstruction is used that can increase the pixel count to 3840x2160 and pixel counts at 3840x2160 are common due to this temporal reconstruction. The native resolution is higher for the 30fps real time cutscenes on Xbox One X with the lowest and highest native resolutions found during them being approximately 2773x1560 and 3840x2160 respectively.

Xbox One uses a dynamic resolution with the lowest native resolution found being 1280x720 and the highest native resolution found being 1920x1080. A form of temporal reconstruction is used that can increase the pixel count to 1920x1080 when the native resolution is below this figure. Pixel counts at 1920x1080 are common on the Xbox One. The lowest and highest native resolutions on Xbox One during the high quality real time cutscenes are the same as during gameplay, but the native resolution seems to be lower on average.

Here's some shots with the ultra textures, the finer details, scuff marks etc on character models are the most notable thing to my eyes after the update. The environmental textures look about the same. But hey, as long as it doesn't cause a hit on performance, I'll keep it enabled.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
