I’ve heard the 1.05 patch helps a lot. But again for PC it already runs fine.
 
Just landed an Xbox series X, gimme some game recommendations; specifically maybe some backwards compatible ones from older generations.

So will guys like K’Andre Miller and Trevor Zegras be added to NHL 21 once they’ve played an AHL game? I notice both have signed ELCs but neither are in game.

Correct.

Normally those updates kick in around November, but obviously not this season.

I just ended up creating them. I wasn’t going to wait for February to get this years graduating college prospects.

I want to get NHL 21, but only if EA adds an update with the new divisions and 56-game schedule because I play season/franchise only and I want the schedule to match real life.

I just got a Series X.

I snagged Fight Night Champions for $20. Literally addicted lol. It is really hard, though.

Not sure whether or not to pick up NHL 21 though.
 
Where is everyone getting consoles? Walmart has Xbox Series S "in stock" but won't ship until late January. Best Buy has the Series S too but only for in-store pickup and none in the Tri-State area.

I snagged mine from Walmart.com by getting a stick alert from a website I visit, and then incessantly trying to get it in my cart and checked out. I got lucky probably, though I think it’s getting easier and easier over time. It also told me it wouldn’t ship till January at first, then like two days later I got a notice it had shipped.

I’ll probably get a PS5 too eventually but three things swung me to the Xbox this time.

1) I actually got the Xbox into my cart online and I could not get a PS5.

2) Universal backwards compatibility for the Xbox, and

3) the PS5 is just SOOO big, and kinda ugly, I can’t believe it. I may wait till a slim version (and maybe black) is released. Now that I mention it the Series X is a weird brick shape too, what was up with the design teams this generation?

Must be the same people who designed these systems are the same people who designed some of of the reverse retro hockey jerseys.

I was kidding with my comment though. Console wars are dumb. Play what you want to play and enjoy it, thats really all that matters.

Beat my son in NHL 94!! Oh yeah, after being annihilated in NHL 21 i went back in time. “You played this??? . . . the players look ducks” was his only defense as i took full advantage of my transition game while he was confused by the graphics.

oh yeah!!!!

Zibby got the 1st star

I have had 2 crashes since the 1.05 patch was released. Its been MUCH better.

Haven't gotten to the end yet because I've had too much fun running around doing shit.

Did you do the side quest were you have to drive the dude to the ripper doc? Shit had me rolling.

Anyone play Minecraft Dungeons? I was playing last night on my xbox series X with gamepass ultimate...and now today I can't find my saved game. Only wants to let me start a new campaign. It's not possible you can't load a saved game, is it?
 
Been loving playing civ 6! I have a close group of friend that I don’t get to see often. It’s turned into the best way to keep in contact regularly. We always were competitive playing board games together- so naturally civ is tailor made for our group.
I don’t find myself enjoying playing it solo much since I’ve been playing online.

I highly, highly recommend it.

Yeah that was great and a nice surprise to just find a random quest like that. It really is a very good game despite the flaws. For as much as I bitch I put 70 hours into it.

Cyberpunk is very nearly an excellent game. When the bugs are fixed, and they will be, it will be quite close.

Bit there is still something missing from the overall narrative. It’s too much like the Division in that sense. Get phone call or text message, go here, clear out baddies, rinse and repeat. It’s MMO like. The Witcher had side quests that were narratives in and of themselves, and they fit the pace of the story Geralt was in, because he had to go around helping people to get information. But the way this game populates the map with uncounted clear-out activities that have no narrative value makes it feel like busy work more in the mold of The Division, Far Cry or Assassins Creed.

The game is very, very fun and again, once it's fixed, it's gonna be a graphical and technical marvel (at least on newer consoles and hardware).

But they did not make a game that was a narrative masterpiece like the Witcher. Instead they made a single player MMO style loot grinder with, so far, very limited story intrigue. Of course I am not done the story yet, but I'm in Act 2, and apparently the main story is only three acts so I'm probably at least halfway. I cannot imagine the quality and impact of the story makes any kind of complete change from here.
