The draw in is pretty bad unless you’re running on extreme settings. There’s some issues with AA as well.

I’m sure all these issues will get fixed and right now my only problem is finding time to play.
The list of known issues is huuuuuuuuge, but I read a patch will likely be out by the weekend

Hopefully, I tried playing last night and it was a bit of a mess IMO. FH4 was pretty much flawless so I expect they'll get 5 to the same standard soon

FH4 was kind of a buggy mess at launch too. I have faith they’ll get it fixed.

I’ve been mostly exploring and getting all the XP and fast travel boards.

I wish you could borrow PC games from the library like you can console games. I've been wanting to play the Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Black Ops Cold War single player campaigns, but I'm not interested in the multiplayer so have been waiting for the prices to drop... Look at the prices today? $80. Lol.

The Call of Duty games rarely drop their price so soon but they do go on sale fairly often. Never played MW19 but the CW campaign was actually pretty solid, and the Zombies were great if that’s your thing.

Got into Forza Horizon 5 on my ancient Xbox One. Looks and plays surprisingly well. Did a bunch of races and #### till I had about a million credits, was pretty fun. The only thing I didn't like was the long load times. I'm guessing these are pretty much eliminated on the Series X. Can anyone confirm that?

There are small load screens when you get into a new car, but they are very minimal and don’t subtract from the experience at all.

I was going to try Battlefield 2042's early access trial but then found out there's no single player.

Pass.

Portal might actually convince me to buy BF2042! Playing a bunch of BF1942 on a modern engine?? The only downside is I don't think there's a CTF mode yet.

EDIT: Only 2 maps so far, so maybe I'll wait to see. But it'll be pretty hard to resist.

FH5 has been pretty solid for me so far but I can’t stop getting distracted when seeing cars in my rear view mirror don’t have shadows under them. It is so weird and distracting, hopefully it gets patched soon.

So I'm in the market for some good headphones for my PC and PS5. For people who have them are the Pulse 3Ds a good choice or should I be looking at something else? I'm not looking to pay anything crazy. Under $200 after tax would be my limit.

Slightly over $200 but the PC38X are great IMO, it's what I'm using: https://www.amazon.ca/DROP-Sennheise.../dp/B08TX6GQTB

The EPOS H6Pro are also supposed to be good and come in a closed back model as well.

The PC37X is the previous version and I used those for a while as well, and comes under the $200 mark: https://www.amazon.ca/Massdrop-Sennh.../dp/B084GFGMYT

Hardware Canucks had a video about this recently as well so they have a few other models as well.

I have heard the Pulse 3D headset is underwhelming. I know it's available at the Flin Flon Walmart most of the time.

I have had lots of good experiences with the Arctis 7p headset. It retails for approximately $220'ish. Sound is really good and has a nice battery life.

Hugely disappointing that BF2042 doesn't have dedicated community servers

Nari Ultimates are currently 199.99 on Amazon. I suspect that the haptic feedback thing they do is not everyone's cup of tea but good lord does it completely elevate the atmosphere in certain games for me... Hellblade shouldn't be played any other way in my opinion.

Isn't that what portal is? So many servers configured for maximum XP just max tickets, 1hp enemies, and spawn camping. Luckily it seems they put a cap on daily portal server XP but also unfortunate they had to do that because there are some good servers out there.

I have the Pulse 3D for my PS5 and I find it quite excellent. My only complaint is the adjustability of the headset to your head size, if you like a firm fit these are not for you.

They're private but they aren't dedicated, I'm talking about good old-fashioned community servers. Something I've really really missed the last few years since more and more games go to public matchmaking. It really sucks the sense of community out of these games, that really adds more depth to games like these
