Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave - which is brilliant but also comically large. I've put hours and hours into it and I still haven't completed part one of the game with even one of the game's four main characters. It's a really great game though with lots and lots to do and I can see myself chipping away at this for months.
Final Fantasy XIV - also so large it's just an ongoing background project really. One of the few MMOs that doesn't care at all about getting you to endgame so you can just potter through most of it at your own speed. It incentivises players to revisit older content so there's always someone around to run dungeons with, or you can do pretty much all of it solo these days. A really fantastic game (and I'm a couple of hundred hours into the "free trial", so a very cheap and accessible title to get into, too).
Want
I'd like to play the Witcher 3 remaster but it seems to have come in a bit hot so I'm going to give it a couple of weeks and some patches to sort itself out.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer is out in a few days, I'm waiting for reviews but if it's good then a bit of arcadey pod racing could be a good way to spend some time. I still want to get Zero Company too but Fire Emblem is meeting all my turn-based strategy needs for now.
Bin
I still don't give a monkeys about GTA 6 and I'll probably just hide away playing Zelda or something while everyone else goes on about it.
The Xbox "disc to digital" programme is now active - stick a disc in your Series X and if it's supported (most are) you can unlock the digital licence for that game which will remain yours until that disc is used in another console.
I mean it's obviously a way of preparing people for the fact that the next-gen consoles will be digital only but on the face of it, it's quite a useful thing. I ran through my small collection of Series X physical games and they were all recognised. I can now put the discs away and play those games as if I'd downloaded them. It means you can take advantage of cheaper prices for physical games, or second hand sales, without any of the disadvantages, and I think it's a pretty good scheme.
I loaded up the Xbox version and I’m not sure I’d have noticed much difference apart from the fact it had reset all my settings which was very annoying. I’m sure if you put the two versions side by side there would be a clear difference but to me it just looks like the Witcher 3.
Do you mean you've finished Part 1 with one of the characters, or have you gone all the way through to the end of the game?
I'm on chapter 10 with Cai now and I feel like I've played a full game already. It's so good though, and the story battles are always absolute highlights. It would be good if it was all slightly more streamlined - I know you can skip the animations for mundane things like meals and training, but it would be nice to be able to bypass them completely - but I've also spent a lot of time recruiting people I neither want nor need, so I'll definitely be cutting back on that on other routes.
Being the massive pedant that I am, I’m going to point out that Last of Us part 2 ran at 30fps on PS4 Pro. But it was an amazingly good 30fps, and did indeed look spectacular.
