Nope. No interest.

My OG Xbox One from 2014 or 2015 is working just fine from its hard drive and external drive, and with cloud gaming also working so well, I see no need to spend $500 on new hardware. My disc drive is shot, but that's fine because all of my games are digital or in the cloud.

Microsoft is pushing people away from hardware with cloud gaming. It envisions a future coming soon in which the device is irrelevant; it just wants everyone to sign up for GamePass and play through whatever device they like. I'm all in on GamePass and in a hearty embrace with MS' future vision, so I'm not spending dosh on hardware.

I really wanna play flight simulator. Besides that, I don’t know any must have Xbox exclusives. I love my ps5. I’ll probably pick up an Xbox though!

After more time with SE5, this is my favorite of the series. What a fantastic game!!! I actually sat in the weeds for 20 minutes while a search party was hunting me. I don't finish many games, but this will be one I definitely finish. Thanks gamepass!

The entire series is bad ass, for any newcomers who want even more gameplay after they finish 5. 4, 3 and 2 are all great. I never tried 1.

im stuck at mission 7, i wonder if it's a bug.

I am in the dome, and have to reveal the kraken plans.

I am in the plans rooms, the arrow is saying i'm there , it says REVEAL PLANS, but it does not give me an option to take any action.

any ideas?

there's a bug in mission 7 if you do the dome first. do it last. had to redo the mission and got past it. lost the optional objectives though since I didnt want to redo all.

Finished the main story - all I can say is :

I usually don't buy DLC especially for a gamepass game but that Hitler extra missions looks too good to pass up . XBOX also gave me some credit to spend by July so it'll be basically free if I use it.

This Hitler mission is better than any before it. Not to be missed.

I love booby-trapping something and then forgetting about it only to have a cinematic showing 3 guys get blown to hell. :twisted:

This is early GOTY for me.. I do wish it was more open world where you could get around more freely, as it tends to block off certain areas so you have to find ways around. Other than that, the different ways you can approach a mission is awesome and I love all the different weapons and other stuff.

I think it's perfect the way they did it. Sniper Elite 4 was more open world and I think that's why I really didnt like it. It took away from the core of the game like Sniper Elite 3 had. Sniper Elite 5 went back to basics and what made this series so great and it's cleary the best Sniper Elite game I've played.

BTW - game gets s*** on in reddit for it's graphics. Why? I play it on next gen and think it looks great. I see nothing wrong w/ the graphics.

Eh, reddit clowns' opinions never meant anything to me. Not one damned thing wrong with these graphics.

It looks great to us, but it’s not as good as Last Of Us, Uncharted or COD, so kids aren’t as happy

I had a several round invasion with some guy last night, and good Lord, it was fun. The cat and mouse aspect can't be overstated.

He entered my game (was on mission 3) and got me. Asked for a rematch, and I granted it. The next round, I popped him after a few minutes. Then I managed to get on the beach near the insertion point and things got very interesting. From my vantage point, I could see his scope flash and we took turns winging each other, hiding, repositioning, and just trying to outsmart the other. I put up a decoy at one point, got him trying to get a bead on it, and cracked him after 30 mins. It was intense!

I wish I knew about some of these. I have it still saved at that point and may go do these for fun. I liked the bowling alley one.

I never even saw the bowling alley. I need to get back in there. Every game, they invent new and wackier ways to end the guy. It's fantastic.
