![]() It definitely doesn’t help that Microsoft seems far more committed to supporting the Xbox One into the future. The Series X may look and play those games better, but it’s not like I wouldn’t have been able to play them without it. The same goes for Game Pass, since all those titles are multi-generational. That’s a big step up from the original Xbox One and Xbox One S that I still have lying around, but it’s not like I’d be missing out on a lot. The only major difference is that the Xbox Series X is able to run it at 4K 60fps. the downside is that I could easily pick up a copy of something like Crash Bandicoot 4, and continue to play it on my Xbox One. It’s an impressive display of technology, and a consumer friendly practice that you never would have expected from a company like Microsoft even ten years ago. Even the PS5 sells separate discs for its exclusives, like Spider-Man: Miles Morales. ![]() ![]() That sort of forwards compatibility hasn’t really been done before, and even in the glory days of the PS2 it was impossible to pop a PS3 game into a PS2 and expect it to work. It’s a pretty incredible thing when you think about it, because the same disc is able to work across two different generations of hardware Because every game I could go out and buy would have worked on my older console. The fact I have an Xbox Series X now doesn’t actually open up any new gaming opportunities for me. We’re less than a year into the new cycle, and all the platform exclusives also happen to be available on the older consoles. But the fact I’m an adult with a busy adult schedule that doesn’t include much time for games still one of those things that makes me wonder why I bothered picking up the Series X The lack of exclusives doesn’t helpĬonsole exclusives are usually quite rare this early in a new generation, and it doesn’t matter whether you’re the proud owner of a PS5 or an Xbox Series X. It was nice to run around and check out the Commonwealth in 60fps. Plus, I distinctly remember completing the game and destroying the Institute. I was also shocked to find Elder Maxson was still alive, even though I’m pretty sure I killed him to obtain that sweet coat he wears. Those games also seem to require massive amounts of time and effort to stay on top of, I discovered this first hand when loading up my Fallout 4 save, and realized I hadn’t played the game for four years and had no idea what was going on. Especially since a lot of the games I have are big, expansive games that benefit from having a much larger view of the world. I still feel like I should be sitting on the couch, in front of the TV with a controller in my hands. I can stream the Xbox Series X to my phone, and very easily, but it’s not quite the same. It lets me pick up a game whenever I like, wherever I may be. Certainly not on the TV, and that’s why I like the Nintendo Switch so much. The thing that gets to me the most is I rarely have time for games anymore.
