If you were to ask me now which console would I keep between the series X and PS5 if I could keep only one , it would be a difficult choice but I will probably choose the PS5. I am likely a lot older than many if not most of the members here. Have been a casual gamer for a very long time - Owned mostly consoles - from the Atari 2600 in the 80s to the NES/SNES in the 90s. Shifted loyalties to the PS in the late 90s and have stuck to PS for all gens (incl PSP and vita) So largely a PS loyalist - except for a couple of brief dabbles with Nintendo (Wii) and PC gaming in the mid 2000s (which I dropped as I guess I was spending more timing optimising fps with drivers and settings than actually playing games) Someone I know strongly recommended game pass to me so I decided to try out an Xbox for the first time . Got a series S to try , liked it so got an X instead. Let me first say that game pass is awesome. I have lost count of the number of games I have spent good money on after researching thoroughly but could not play beyond the first 30-60 mins. Gamepass largely alleviates that issue. In addition, I love the quick resume . I have limited time on hand and usually play in short bursts. PS5 standby helps with reducing wait times but is quite limited as against quick resume. However I can’t help but feel that the Xbox is geared more towards the more dedicated gaming aficionados. Most Xbox exclusives I have tried so far seem to be more inclined towards competitive gamers or players who enjoy grinding. And while there is no denying that games Like Halo and Gears 5 are masterpieces in their own right. But casual gamers/ semi-serious gamers tend to gravitate towards the action/adventure genre and the PS5 has Xbox beat on that regard. My top5 games of the last decade are all from this very genre viz TLOU2, HFW, TLOU , HZD and Uncharted 4 (In that order) - and I am yet to find games of the same calibre on the Xbox . I am currently playing Mass effect 2 (LE) on the Xbox (yes, I missed it when it first came out) but TBH I didn’t really need an XB for it. On a side rant, Xbox really seems to be missing a trick with the lack of true LAN remote play - something that is important for a lot of casual / older gamers. And this may be minor - but the dual sense feels a lot more alive than the Xb controller (adaptive triggers and better rumble) If there is anything I am missing, would be happy to be set right TLDR but yes PS5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest complaint is gameplay, shoot gun in random direction and watch cool sh*t happen. Also characters. Dr Nefarious is fun to watch 3-4 games. It's quiet grating now Considering you’re on an ecosystem that’s been Gears-Halo-Forza throughout its life cycle for a decade, that’s an interesting point to make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For someone to call it stale & nothing new but is happy with just Halo (up against 9 other games) which in itself is a 9th iteration of mostly same stuff. It’s quite funny.

Please elaborate. Well halo infinite is IVG GOTY.. you could argue that it has better gameplay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnK Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 3 minutes ago, Mr. Comingle said: I will not call R&C stale either. In terms of variety and polish, it's better than Infinite but Infinite's core gameplay is better especially the grapple hook and moment to moment gunplay. Personally, I'd rank them equally. Rift Apart was quite good but I didn't find it worth the asking price. It got quite repetitive towards the end. Doesn't justify the 5,000 price tag just like Miles Morales which is just too short for a full priced title. Great game though. If games would suddenly start getting reviewed according to what you have to shell out to acquire them then all the day1 games on GamesPass would be rated 10/10. Well atleast officially it’s not happening yet (though I doubt otherwise) & things like buying at $70/₹5000 then selling after use are also not something that reviewers consider while writing it down. a game is a game & should be rated on it’s own merit & credibility without considering how much the publisher can sacrifice to make it reach you.

A company (Sony) says it wants "players to experience emotional stories, get immersed and go on a journey with characters" exact words from Herman Hulst. Vs A company (MS) says it wants players to play their game for 10 yrs. I don't see how is that controversial at all. It's obvious first company puts adequate gameplay. While other puts all effort in gameplay. Even graphics and biome variety is not that great in Infinite. It's just about gameplay and music in campaign.

playstationdude Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 Halo infinite's campaign doesnt even come remotely close to Rift apart. RA is a wild ride throughout. Thats not to say Halo infinite's campaign isnt good. Both games are not doing anything out of the ordinary in their genre, but RA is simply a much more enjoyable game.
