I haven't had any crashes, but I have experienced terrible drops in frame rate (felt like 15-20 fps), atrocious pop in and glitchy animations. The Xbox One X isn't a slouch of a console either, so I was a bit shocked at how poorly it ran.

The graphics were a bit of a letdown as well...I assume were scaled down to help optimization, but AC Valhalla & even older Deus Ex titles look and run 10x better.

yea i've heard it scales down a lot on consoles. i wouldn't think a One X would as much though. i have one of those too and yea it's pretty powerful for a console.

And... my SSD hard drive (raid 0 drives) windows is on just failed when I got home from a 12 hour work day. Great. Luckily I still have Alienware in home premium support till February. So they are sending out a tech to replace both nvme SSDs in the raid 0 setup. I'd rather have them send me the parts so could fix it myself, but I guess I'll let them do it for the warranties sake. I do plan on extending the warranty before it expires anyways.

Been enjoying CyberPunk - just finished Act 1 last night - no spoilers for anyone though

Playing on a Xbox Series X - super fast loads, and smooth gameplay. No studdering, tearing, or the like.
Native 4K as well - TV doesn’t support HDR10, but is running on the older HDR.

Really digging the environment and overall game.

The usability of the UI is a fail sadly. Seems like a straight PC port, can’t even use the bumpers to change tabs in the UI, common.....having to joystick a “mouse” on a console is not the right approach IMHO

Lockdown is amazing because it gave me time to play classics like Half-Life, Portal.

I have squeezed in a lot of gaming just through not having that commute time every day.

Physical FFIX on Switch. Asia only this one, so I had to import it.

I’ve played 20 hours so far and the latest patch helped with the frame rate and no more crashes. But overall the bugs haven’t been bad at all. I’m playing on a PS4 Slim from 2 years ago and it’s definitely not broken on my machine. Maybe gen 1 PS4 has more problems. But I keep reading all these horror stories but haven’t experienced it yet.

I’ve beaten all the main line games and sequels (Lightning Returns FFXIII and FFXV only this year during lockdown) bar the two MMOs, XI and XIV. Resubbed to XIV to play a bit more of it over the Christmas period.

I’ve been hitting Gears 5 lately and working in grind-y achievements.
