Just a reminder, but you can pin comments to the top of the comment section. Also congrats on the Xbox.
The PlayStation network slow because they do not have good service They have inferior servers compared to Microsoft they actually rent servers from Microsoft in the USA That’s one reason I switch to Xbox their online service it’s just so much better
Hi Food4Dogs, my mom is in her mid sixties, and I'm just wondering if you have any advice for how I could get her interested in "real" videogames? She only wants to play candy crush (going on 10 years almost-- she's on level 4000 something). I tried getting her into the sims but she only enjoyed the create-a-sim part and not the game itself. A Myst remake just came out recently and I've been trying to get her into it since it doesn't have combat or require tight hand-eye coordination. I know she'd enjoy real games if I can just find the right one. She plays candy crush for 4 hours straight sometimes and I know she'd have more fun playing something like Persona 5 if I could only get her interested.
NO CONOCIA DE ESTA ADMIRABLE MUJER. ME ENCANTAN SUS VIDEOS Y TODO LO QUE SABE SOBRE EL TEMA DE VIDEO JUEGOS. ME ENCANTARIA CONOCERLA EN PERSONA. QUE DISFRUTES DEL XBOX, TREMENDA ADQUISICION
@@111olbap Ah, that's a really tough one. Not the first time this question has cropped up.
Playing Candy Crush straight for 4 hours is not healthy - but at her age (she's only a few years younger than me) it's soooo difficult to change habits and patterns, for most people.
You may find you can't discover that One Game that suddenly turns her around. Tbh, I think the first priority might best be to get her not to play so much Candy Crush - do any other activity instead! Going for walks, doing aerobics, sewing .. whatever floats her boat.
As to games, I can only offer 2 general suggestions:
1. Candy Crush is a match-three puzzle game - so if you could steer her towards *other* match-three style games, but ones that are of higher quality. That could be a first step to her accepting that there are other games out there worth playing. I can tell from your description that for your mom, playing CK is a way to 'switch off' (maybe also stress relief). That's how most people see games. Taking the step from there to "real" games (which involve a challenge) is the real stumbling block.
2. FMV games. Yep, those "cinematic" ones that look like you're playing a movie, and there are dialogue options etc. and QTEs. They're easy to get into if (big IF) the person enjoys movies. I always remember playing The Late Shift with my husband, he was even keen to find the different endings. -- Wales Interactive have done a lot of FMV games - I think Late Shift and The Bunker are both suitable for beginners. I haven't played The Complex yet, but have heard positive feedback. Then there's a Japanese FMV one called Death Come True which is very good - we enjoyed it, and it takes only about 2 hrs (+ a bit for other branches/endings). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Come_True
Hope that helps a little.
Thank you for welcoming us into your family, Food4Dogs. It sounds like you and the Xbox Series S are already off to a great start. There's a lot more fun to come, and we're happy to share this journey with you!
Grande Xbox B)
Xbox dudes had time to coment here 🥺🥺🥺 i love you xbox guys .
Xbox team, you guys are so humble for dropping this comment, very nice of you! I wanted to say I really love Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and im excited for Forza Horzion 5 launch! I will buy the premium addon bundle for it. Keep up the good work!
@@EROStars I bought the ultimate edition of forza horizon 5 I can't wait for launch
Why are you not releasing Gamepass in the Philippines? There are lots of console gamers here but majority are PS owners because there's no sense in getting Xbox if we can't even have gamepass! And no, I dont want to deal with VPNs and stuff.. I am currently thinking of getting next gen console but I cant consider the Xbox because of the lack of gamepass here.. I'd rather wait for PS5 stocks than get Xbox without gamepass.. but if you release gamepass, I will surely get the more powerful series x!
This is a perfect example of why console wars are dumb, can a gamer just be a gamer and enjoy no matter the console. I really enjoyed this video
You'right, greetings bro.
Well said bro! Just enjoy the games, have fun, and appreciate that everyone likes something different... Praise ☀️ \[T]/
@@AlcoveShadow nope... they legitimately compete against each other.. it's consumers that make their consoles their identity as if they are a part of the company.. There's no reason someone can't receive a thumbs up for holding up a Zelda box - instead, the delusional ps fan will hold up their god of war box and say "mine's better" - it's like soccer fans that take things too far and believe that rooting for a different team is rooting against them - it's sad and pathetic and consumers should be above it.. Praise the ☀️ \[T]/
100%. Admittedly I've always been a Sony fanboy, but now a days the whole console war thing is so dumb. I just watched the new Sony showcase and I cringe when I see people comment how Sony "won" or "destroyed" the competition? Microsoft is killing it right now for value and they have the most powerful console. They all have their pros and cons and the idea that they are at war with each other is pretty archaic.
This video is super refreshing.
@Liam G. agreed... it's the consumers that make up the console wars
You’re such a naturally good speaker that it’s easy to listen to you improv an entire 26-minute video and not get bored. There are guys in their 20s and 30s that can’t make it through a 10-second take without constant edits and meticulous scripting. A lot of creators with 10x the subs still don’t realise that sometimes good vocabulary and thoughtful pacing and structuring is more than enough to keep an audiences’ attention. I’m glad there are alternatives to the usual gaming content 👍
Confused can you not see the edits lol?!
@@brad7928 - The edits are tasteful and infrequent, which is more than I can say about most gaming TH-camrs. The video still feels like a conversation and not a series of buzzwords and jumpcuts.
@@SubsonicSparkle ...agree...not to mention the robotic, scripted sounds coming from a computer voicebox that doesn't have pauses and runs words together.😝🤢💩
You’re literally the only person I know, from the more mature, female demographic, who talks my language. And so my brain can’t quite assimilate the combination of what my eyes see and what my ears say. I hope I’m as cool a gamer as you when I grow older. Cheers.
My mom is in her ‘70s, and is a huge gamer. She owns a tonne of consoles and handhelds, and likes everything from puzzle games to the Need For Speed franchise. So there are at least two out there!
Your mom is awesome.
You'd be surprised how many "elder" lady gamers I've met since starting my channel. We definitely do exist as a demographic. The majority are in their 50s and 60s. 70s and 80s is rarer. Of course the towering example is Shirley Curry (Skyrim) who is in her 80s.
I was surprised to find out one of my friends dads is a Skyrim addict (a game I also love). He's in his late 50s. He asked for some game suggestions from me so I recommended the Witcher 3 to him, which he's been enjoying a ton recently :)
@@Food4Dogs I am a 58 year old woman gamer and I was so happy to find your channel!
@@ib0093 Welcome!
Love seeing someone as uninterested in console wars as yourself. Your reasoning for choosing what you like is exactly how people should approach this topic. Not with allegiances to companies, but with how this item fits into your lifestyle.
Thank you.
Well said Jordan, very well said!
I agree in the end it's still about the games themselves when it comes to gaming your main aim is to have fun playing/collecting them etc., your budget & your personal preferences & necessities as no one is the same it's unreasonable to start "wars/fights" & judge, harass people because of that. Everything has their plus & cons.
I love this little old lady, she's the sweetest gaming granny online. It's so awesome that she is using these consoles for entertainment - and she knows about them too! - where most people her age don't even know about gaming, let alone how to set them up and play the games. I smiled through her review. Such an amazing sweetheart she is.
i totally agree!!! (she's very lovely and modern!!!)
I agree, she's ADORABLE!!!
There is something so adorable about the older generation gaming. She has true passion for it, I love it.
@@tonygicz8 no. YOU are young!!! lol
This has to be one of the most wholesome, pleasant surprises to come up on my TH-cam feed. I was literally smiling the entire time watching this video. As a new Xbox owner myself (also a Series S), its interesting to hear you state many of the same reasons why I also decided to get the Series S this generation. A few months in and I have no regrets. Definitely the best choice for me personally.
Welcome to Xbox! Enjoy!
exactly.
Yeah I love my series S as well.
It has genuinely been one of my most satisfactory gaming purchases in a long time. No problems at all, it still runs smooth, none of that red ring of death BS I was worried might be a problem with microsoft hardware (I'm sure some of remember having to open up our 360s and doing some soddering back in the day to keep the console alive).
Like it's a really good deal. I think a lot of people deadset on getting a series X or a PS5 would do well to consider the series S. Particularly if they don't have a honking 4k monitor or TV. Honestly I still can't figure out what the point of a series X is without a 4k monitor. You get the HDR and high FPS on a series S, its gonns run the same games, much more attractive price and a reeeeally nice looking and discreet piece of hardware. It couples beautifully with my 1440p, HDR 120hz monitor.
The only issue was gonna be storage space, but you can get external SSDs for pretty cheap and that solves that problem right there. Yes it's true you can't install X|S optimized games on an external SSD that isn't that overpriced xbox brand seagate one, but I just use the internal storage for series X|S games and my external SSD for all my xbox one games. Works great.
You combine the value of a series S with the phenomenal value of gamepass, throw in a budget external SSD - and you're next gen gaming for a fraction of the price that most people seem to be paying.
Personally I used those savings to splurge on a monitor (spent more on the monitor than I did on the console) - got the best monitor I could that wasn't 4k. All in all I felt like I got a pretty amazong deal. I was gonna build a PC for this gen, but I couldn't figure out a way to get the same value as I would from a series S, given that I wasn't interested in 4k and I just wanted the HDR and high refresh rate. The loss of PC games selection was gonna be a bummer, but that was outweighed by just how mindblowingly good value the xbox game pass has been.
As a passionate gamer my self I’m now 35 and have been gaming my whole life. Seeing someone who is older who games or is a gamer makes my heart happy. We in the gaming community don’t see this very often.
You also had a Playstation 1 back in 1995 when it was first released? My friend who is only 25, bought a PS3 as his first console.
I'm in my mid 30s as well and totally agree. It is a pleasure to watch a lady from my parents' generation enjoy gaming so much.
Thank you. 🤗
@@Food4Dogs you and Happy Console Gamer are inspiring me to start a channel or stream more. I'm finding I enjoy talking about games and sharing the excitement as much as playing these days. I hope your channel continues to grow and reach more people ❤️
I have met and talked with so many wonderful people from the gaming community here - a channel is a great way to interact with others out there. Good luck!
This is my 1st time seeing her YT channel but I believe we have found our gaming mother. She truly knows her stuff. There's no superficial opinions or fanboy mess going on here. I appreciate you. Enjoy your new Xbox Series S.
I’ve only just discovered your channel and I watched this video with a big smile on my face. It’s so lovely to see someone getting so much enjoyment from gaming and I only hope I can be just like you with gaming as I get older….Subscribed!
I completely agree Stevie, I found myself smiling thru the ENTIRE video! This is one of those videos that LITERALLY feels good to watch...
It's always nice to see that gamers come in ALL shapes, sizes, colors, AND ages!! Such a wonderful hobby to be a part of...💯😊😁🤘🏼👍🏼
You choose your consoles so intelligently. I wish more people were like you.
Really wonderful to hear your enthusiasm for this system, Britta!
Felicidades!! Una gran adquisición! Que la disfrutes al máximo! Y bienvenida a la familia Xbox! 🎉🥳🎊🎮💚
This is just so delightful! I know it shouldn't be a big deal that a woman your age plays games, but I've never encountered one, so this just expanded my world view that little bit more. Cheers!
EDIT: I subscribed, too ; )
Thanks, Robert.
This was the most relaxing and comforting 25 minutes I’ve had all week lol
Subscribed🙏🙏🙏
I just want to be like you when I'm older!! 😊🎮🦁❤️
Warms my heart to see elderly people play games, hope you have a good time with it madam. 👍
As others have said, it was very nice to watch a review that is more honest than any tech guy review I have ever watched. I finally got the Game Pass Ultimate a few months ago and it really is the best thing. Both me and my son are game hoppers ourselves with a few games that really take up our time and being able to try out games with the ability to simply remove it if we didn't like it was nice to have. Have fun with your games!
Thanks, Michael! Yes, GamePass is changing how I organise my gaming - it just makes it easier! 😀
It's honest, but also so conversational! it's like you're sitting at the table with her, having a cup of tea. Not all this over the top pacing and rapid graphical changes etc. Also she knows her stuff!. It's almost therapeutic watching these lol!
Cheers on your 1st Xbox! Im 51, and I got the series X. It was my first console bought at launch. I started with Pong back in the day.
I'm playing Rocket League and Peggle right now.
Interesting to get a perspective on a game console from someone that’s not an annoying 16-35 year old male. Great video!
Age is a number these days we arent in the 80s anymore.You cant generalize an unhealthy mindset but usually they are kids/teens
16-50 year old male more like
Misandry
Thank god I’m about to turn 36 ;)
Why annoying? Lol what a weird comment.
ooooh Lost Odyssey and Morrowind. I absolutely adore both of those games.
Quake is a childhood favorite of mine, and the new remaster is wonderful
I’m playing the lost odyssey it so good
Playing the remaster on PC and plan on getting it for Switch
Omg. This is so adorable. I never seen anyone at your age interested in new consoles. Hope you enjoy the Series S!
Oh you're a breath of fresh air. Gaming has taken me to some wonderous places and helped me meet great people, but it does my heart good to see your honest opinion of Xbox. I found mine about a month ago and still feel fortunate. The best is yet to come and we should always keep an open mind to change. Going digital was not my dream either, but I will not give up on physical just yet. Keep finding time to have fun and be so gracious. I appreciate that.
I love your enthusiasm. I hope you get lots of joy from your new console.
I'm happy to see that someone so especial like you use the same console than me. I hope you enjoy it as I do. Welcome to the xbox family!!!
The existence of this channel brings me unbridled joy. Love the concept and the execution :)
I love seeing wholesome content like this on the platform.
Your comments are on! I just wanted to say I absolutely love your videos! Cheers & much love from Canada! Keep on sharing amazing content, life lessons & gaming! Amanda x
Welcome to the Xbox ecosystem. Your video was very sweet and I always enjoy hearing from new gamers in the field... no bias, no nonsense!
I'd recommend a Play and Charge kit for the controller, effectively its a rechargeable battery made by Microsoft... whilst the use of AA batteries is jarring, the controllers last a long time between charges and with rechargeables you still have the convenience of wireless.
So glad I just stumbled upon this channel, she’s so sweet and wholesome
This brings me so much joy. 🙂 I recently got a series X after using mainly PS4 and Switch for years. How am I just now discovering this channel?! I love this lady! I’m sooo subscribed now! 🙏🏽
I think how you determine whether/ when to buy a console is very healthy and it is something I have been trying to work on. If you let a console “mature” for a year or so, there’s gonna be so many more awesome titles to play
Less hardware issues too......
Congratz on the new console! I'm very excited to see where this takes you!
This is precious. Thank you for making this video. Subscribed!
The vibe on this channel is unreal! I love it so much.
I hope you enjoy it! Series S seems like a great away of experiencing next gen features. It's priceless to see people like you enjoying videogames ^^
I think you’re going to love it. Great choice and love the channel.
I love how you approach the physical/digital games question. Game Pass and the Microsoft store are great - specially for late night, spontaneous cravings. But they don't replace those few favourite physical games I'll always want to keep and play.
the thrustmaster bit got me. love your videos and am so glad you're branching out and still have so much to discover of this wonderful medium!
Glad to see you on the xbox, I just came back after 5 years of being on the ps4. You have gained a sub, and I'm glad to see gamers of all ages.
This is so adorable.
You'right, greetings.

@@chrismeighen5463 I genuinely think this is adorable.. you don’t know me you knob lol
@@chrismeighen5463 Shameless... This is adorable!
thats me in 50 years,old man playing games,respect m'lady
I just only found your channel (through this video), and it was very pleasant to listen you speak, so thorough, so interesting.
Lovely video! Will be interesting to see how you feel with it once you've played with it for a while. In terms of batteries for the controller, there are chargable modification packs you can get that turn the controller from battery powered to re-chargable. Most game stores will have them available.
Isn’t it a gorgeous machine? I love it so much! I’ve already beaten one game on it: Psychonauts 2!
😮 you're too fast for me! 😄
I beat it as well the other day on PC and I purposely dragged it a bit because I didn't want it to end lol.
I never played the original back in the day and installed it on my pc a few months ago because of it's cult status and yeah the first game feels a bit dated but I really enjoyed it. It introduced me to the universe, the characters and all the powers which only made playing through the sequel more enjoyable for me.
How many hours it takes to complete it's story?
@@grgamer8470 It took me about 18 hours to finish it. That's being meticulous about trying to collect everything, of course.
@@BacklogBattle Dido!! I am a Psytanium hound, I break and burn every item I can in an attempt to buy everything from Otto's vending machine!!!
I also find myself searching EVERY nook and cranny for the next cool thing or place to discover...💯🤣
From Brazil here and your video just appeared to me, loved the video hope you have lots of fun with your new video game
Wholesome 👾😌 absolutely enjoying your videos , pretty chill and fun to watch
I’ve been following your videos on PS and Switch for some time now, I’m so happy to see you’re diving into Xbox! It’s definitely an incredible console that really delivers. Looking forward to the recommendations you have for us! I’ve been playing Scarlet Nexus and Final Fantasy XV to fill the JRPG void, I haven’t found anything like Rune Factory other than Stardew Valley.
I love this so much. 🙂 I own the Series X, the Series S (it's in a different room), and the PS5. I was a full blown Nintendo guy for years, but these new Xbox systems have me going to team green lately. Game Pass is just so good, I play so many different games that I'd never have given a chance before. I don't really touch the PS5 that much, heck the Switch hasn't been charged for 3 months at this point. The new Xbox systems just took over my gaming life.
This is the coolest video I have seen all year! Brings me so much joy!
This was so wonderful and your video sure brightened my day. Welcome to the Xbox family!
Love the analysis, great review with how you found the differences between the systems.
You mentioned the small storage space on the series s will be a struggle as your library grows but Microsoft are introducing a new feature at the end of this year in your game pass ultimate subscription where you can essentially “play before you download” allowing you to play any game on gamepass without the need to download, then once you feel you like the game you can then download and get the full game experience because games streamed via xcloud are 1080p whereas series s is native 1440p.
Yup, excellent point. I'll be talking more about that in my follow-up video.
You play such a wide variety of games, Game Pass as a first party service seems perfect for you.
Game Pass has led me to buy so many games (lots of them on Switch), and has only bettered my library quality overall, including some splurges, like the NieR Replicant White Snow Edition.
Oh .. I missed out on the Snow White Edition - so lovely!
Yes, I can see myself buying games - on whichever of the 3 platforms, each game is different - based on my experience from GamePass. 👍
many wonderful and might i add concise points, looking foward to your videos for years to come
Love your energy and enthusiasm with gaming... really inspiring! Greetings from Brazil
At first I thought the Series S was a bit off-putting with its speaker-like design but it’s grown on me over time. It’s appealing just having a small, clean looking console that works without a lot of fuss. Personally, I need my physical disc drive for as long as they’re still around but your reasoning for choosing this makes complete sense. I hope it treats you well. Your videos are a breath of fresh air, thanks for sharing!
Im glad to see anyone of any age can enjoy the box : )
This has quickly become my favorite tech related channel on this site! You’re an absolutely wonderful speaker!
Thanks for the perspectives..brilliant narration.. Very practical advise ..much appreciated..thanks again !!
Lost Odyssey, while having a very Japanese rpg main story, has some of the best writing in the 1000 years of dreams sections.
One of my favorite JRPGs that I’m sure many people have never played. Hope you enjoy!
Amazing game🙌
I third the notion. Another gem of a JRPG [that came out on the Xbox 360] is Enchanted Arms (especially if you didn't play it on the PS3 already). Welcome to Xbox, F4D!! =)
The 1000 Stories are so awesome that I wish they made a Lost Odyssey TV show and each episode is a flashback story.
The battles are incredibly tedious though imo.
I have Enchanted Arms on PS3. It was a great introductory JRPG for me, not being too diffult, and it's therefore a nostalgic favourite with me. 😀
Thrustmaster is actually a well known brand. They're better known for their flight sticks and racing wheels (hence the odd name).
My wife calls me the Thrustmaster
@@RapIsLife2000 so does my body pillow
This is amazing , i was so interested to listen to every bit of this video until the end I love how passionate you are , you are amazing , much love
Watching your videos makes me feel all fuzzy inside, you are a very wholesome person, keep it up
I'm loving my Xbox Series S as well. Like you, Game Pass has introduced me to games I would have never tried before. That's how I discovered No Man's Sky, which immediately became one of my all time favorites, which I purchased soon afterward. I use a USB-C cord with my controller as well, because when I used batteries I was always anxious about them running out.
"Assuming I could even get a PS5..." I felt that lol Even though I do actually have one but that was only thru sheer luck and a friend getting it for me (I paid him back, of course!). I'm not normally an early adopter, I think both the PS4 and PS5 coming into my hands early only worked out because I play FF14 which is an on going MMO and having the newer system (and getting it while the upgraded game itself is free if you already had it) really benefited it since load times were SO much faster and I lagged way less. Genshin Impact also runs a lot smoother as well. If it weren't for those two games, I would have waited too. Still, I'm glad you got something you really wanted and I hope the XBox S works out for you!! :3
Also, somehow had no idea you had a Ko-Fi. I'm a supporter now!! I love your channel.
Congratulations on the new console! I hope you enjoy it and I look forward to more videos!
most wholesome video ive ever seen. Im so glad this was recommended to me
Welcome to the community it’s a pleasure! I would recommend the master chief collection and definitely game pass!
I owned myself de Xbox Classic and 360 back in the days.
This machine is really awesome the Xbox Series X.
I hate what they did with the names... so confusing !
Edit - Agree want to have real games... Digital is ok for me with steam some how 😅
Hello, its always a pleasure to watch your videos. You make me feel calm.
Your videos bring me so much joy!!
As someone who’s also thinking of pulling the trigger on an ‘s’ after many years as a Playstation guy, I wish you many hours of fun with your new toy 👍😄
Go for it Stephen, you won't regret it one bit!! As someone who has owned and played on EVERY console variant to ever release,
from the big 3, the Series X|S are by far the highest quality consoles I have ever owned!!
@@spgreacts4507 Appreciate it, thanks. There's also the fact that here in the UK it's the only one available!
I have a PS5 and it’s really not worth it at the moment. I have had many chances to pick up an Xbox series S so it’s definitely easier to find one if you want a next gen console and it is an attractive offer. I’m gonna stick with my PC until SpiderMan and god of war come out
@@stephengoodman9058 My pleasure! And if you have the patience, AND you want the power, wait for the Series X!!! I love my Series S, as well as my PS5 (even tho it just sits and collects dust), but the Series X is UNDENIABLY the superior piece of hardware...
@@mario7832 Yeah, Spidey and GOW look good, I'm also ridiculously excited about Wolverine and interested in Stray - I want to be a cat and run around Tokyo with a backpack! 😃
Thanks for uploading this. As a 60yr old who still loves gaming it's hugely encouraging to see a fellow senior gamer passionate about the hobby. My friends and family do not understand, lol! I'm a PS man myself and am holding out for a 5, but you do you. My problem with digital is that in the UK at least its £10 on average more expensive for a new game than buying a physical copy, which makes no sense.
Hi mike,
Oh, I've noticed this notice with digital game pricing too! Same here in NZ. That's one reason why I got into collecting physical for PS4.
Really enjoyed this wholesome video! Enjoy your new series S.
Best wishes from Scotland
I am so excited for you! And welcome to the family! I can’t wait to hear a follow up to your first impressions and what games you’ll be playing! Cheers!
Hey Brita! It’s nice to be able to comment on videos again (even if it’s just one!). I just wanted to let you know that your channel inspired me to buy a PlayStation 4 Pro last December. I have never had a better year in gaming thanks to you! From Atelier to Ys, and my personal favorite Dusk Diver, I wanted to thank you! Nice to see you get an Xbox. These days I keep it plugged in only for Halos master chief collection. Unfortunately I don’t have any recommendations for true Xbox exclusives (there’s not as much as the PlayStation). One more thing because my word I’ve made this wordy! The back buttons are the triggers because almost every first person shooter uses them as the “firing” button. Love your videos as always!
You're right, Playstation has more exclusives. Good to hear you're having such a great time with your PS4Pro. It is a tremendous console and I know I'll be using mine for years to come.
Yes, that makes sense about the triggers! You can see I've never played a FPS in my life (!) because it just didn't register with me. 😄
But there are also a lot of xbox exclusives not known, just like Lost Odyssey for instance. And, for the future, there will be a lot of exclusives. Xbox game studio has now a lot of 1st party teams. They will deliver great rpg
@@maxdelpo5578 my hopes are high. 😀
Yes, they've really added a lot of studios, and we'll see the outcome in the near future, no doubt.
You absolute legend. It's great to see the older generation being interested in all these modern gadgets!
Thank you for this lovely video! It was a joy to listen to you from start to end. You are superbly informed about everything and you really brought a smile to my face with your gaming passion! Keep playing please!
You are just delightful! Just watched my first of your videos. Absolutely delightful!
I got my Series S 2 weeks ago and I love it. I have a 4K 60hz TV and it looks great on it. I finally got to play Ryse: Son of Rome (sadly it's not optimized for the X/S yet) and it was a great short game. I am playing Fable 2 and liking it. I also have Doom Eternal, Brutal Legend, Deep Rock Galactic, and Psychonauts 2.
Same setup here with a 60Hz 4K TV (Xbox insists on telling me that it is NOT 120Hz! 😄).
Ryse - yes, I need to add that to my list.
I have Brutal Legend on PS3 and it's such a weird & wonderful (typical Tim Schafer) game!
@@Food4Dogs i would suggest Alice Madness Returns if you hadn't played. In first chapter you will see the world in black and white but after you enter the other dimension you see a beautiful colourful world.
@@grgamer8470 I have Alice on PS3 - I absolutely adore it. I support American McGee on Patreon too, for his new project. Really hoping a new Alice game may come true.
@@Food4Dogs so you can test the same gaming experience to compare if feels better or the same in series s.
@@Food4Dogs Yeah, same here with it telling me that too. lol
I think you'll like Ryse. It's such a great story and has good combat. I love Tim Schafer's style of comedy in his games. I had Brutal Legend on PS3 as well!
I had been thinking about slumming it with a Series S, but I kept feeling like I might miss something, cool shadows, 4K, something. You made me think it may be an OK choice. Thanks for the video. Love the channel!
You get all the same next gen graphics, frame rates, and fast loads but at a lower resolution. If your TV is 1080p or you sit far from it relative to its size, you probably won't notice the difference.
As an owner of both ( one for me, one for my son ) they're mostly the same. Give or take the seldom game, they feel alike
I'm so happy that this vid popped up on my feed, I really enjoyed every frame of it.
This video was so wonderful and so refreshing! Your passion for gaming is so clear and it’s so lovely to behold! Huge congrats on the new console and jumping into game pass, you’re gonna love it! So many great games in there! SO many fantastic indie games! Thank u for sharing this, love to see people of all ages and backgrounds enjoying gaming! Great stuff! 🍻🥳
It will be fabulous when Cloud Gaming comes out on the game pass this Christmas, then you won’t have to download any of the games! Glad you are enjoying though. I love my Xbox and have done since the original 20 years ago x
@@mechanicalmonkey7777 The appeal of it is that its an added addition to gamepass on how you want to play games as well as being able to play it on phones, pcs, and other xbox's. Its not forced, only expands availability and access/convenience.
@@mechanicalmonkey7777 it’s an option to have for ultimate Gamepass subscription but you can still download the game to console for best experience. Personally I’ve had mixed experience depending on location with streaming. But I’m covered I bought external Xbox ssd and have another external HDD for older games
@@mechanicalmonkey7777 ehhh it saved my day at a Thanksgiving gathering I didn't wanna go to with the gf. Was able to play gears of war 5 and place in the top 3 easily. While the lag was there it definitely wasnt a problem. The fact it's free in your subscription made it even better.
@@mechanicalmonkey7777 also it will allow for a "play now" option while you wait for the download. I'd use it for everything other than racing games.
I agree with you, I'll never get used to the buttons going from Xbox to switch lol. I do like how the B usually means "back" on Xbox. That helps
I also bought the X box series S. It's a great price point to begin next generation digital gaming. I'll miss physical collecting, but so many of the new games require major patches to play them properly anyway. My absolute favorite feature is the "quick resume" it's phenomenal!
Love this channel. My mom is 79 and she is a gamer since 1995. You are an axample of being open to tech and an inspiration!
I'm delighted by your enthusiasm. Thank you for sharing your new aquisition and for your comments regarding this console
Congratulations! I haven't had an Xbox since the 360 but this has convinced me to potentially get an X. I'm glad you're enjoying the gamepass and I hope you and poodlepa are staying well
I hadn't a Xbox since the original one. The best thing is that i can play the best of the old games. The same goes for playstation, i had only ps1 and now i enjoy ps5.
Personally depending on your circumstances and preference Game Pass is truly incredible value. For me it's not something I'm interested in as I prefer to buy the games I want to play (and play them), game pass would become like the common analogy of a gym membership. I have all platforms and am sure you won't be disappointed. However if you don't have a console I would look at PS purely as the exclusives are really that good.
You can add more memory via the expansion slot as well as with a usb ssd . I recommend both . I download al 360 games and backward compatibility games on the external ssd. And use the expansion card for series s / x exclusive. And the on board storage just for apps
Yep, I have an external now connected and keep the older games on there. Works great.
I'm so glad to have come across your channel. You are a wonderful gem in this community. Thank you for your perspective and insights.
Congrats, hope u can enjoy your console. Grettings
Hey, I'm sure someone may have already mentioned it, but you can get a play and charge kit for the Xbox controller, where you don't need to worry about batteries and can charge it up like a playstation pad :)
ordered! 👍
the best game is Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. it is so amazing. the actress won a best motion capture award. it is stunning. please try it out.
I've got a copy, not played it yet, but definitely on my list soon.
@@Food4Dogs Make sure to play that particular game with headphones if you can.
Sure. I need headphones anyway as I'm over 50% deaf.
"Actress" she wasn't even an "Actress" before the game ,she was/is actually part of the dev team.
That's how amazing she is.
You just came in to my feed and I'm very happy about it!
I'm really loving how you are passionate and loving such stuff.
Something I thought of while watching - you can get an official rechargeable battery for your controller that lets you use it like a playstation one - it's called "Xbox Rechargeable Battery + USB-C Cable". I always get these for Xbox, and never think about batteries again!
She already ordered!!
I've been using the magnetic one and love it,the battery life while using headphones feels like about 4hrs but thats where the charger comes in having that 10 foot cable.
Which is long enough to not trip over in the living room but if it does it just breaks away at the magnet so its not causing damage to the USB C port.
I’m so glad to see the older generations taking their place in the gaming-information ecosystem. Just a very pleasant alternative to most of the bombast in gaming media. And I agree - cross-platform gaming is the way to be… Also, I think I’ll be using this video for ASMR.
I'm really surprised at the number of people who've told me they use my voice in the background and for ASMR. 😀
@@Food4Dogs I also watch the “Spiritual Unfoldment with John Butler” channel for ASMR (John’s probably a generation older than you). Perhaps a grandmotherly/grandfatherly voice produces a sense of soothing tranquility in the listener. Could be due to a not-yet-understood bio-evolutionary reason… but I’m just speculating.
This is one of the best channels that have been suggested to me. This video is so soothing and also informative and well spoken. Thank you.
Lovely video! Nice to see you so knowledgeable and friendly and just happy to play games 😄. Greetings from the U.K. 🇬🇧 🇳🇿
