Hmm - assuming you have played some multi plats already...Ori and the blind forest, sunset overdrive and game pass.

Buying an x within the next 2 weeks. What are the must haves?

Like top 3.

Top 3 of what? Exclusives? Graphics? BC?

If you're talking about exclusives, I'd say:

Ori and the Blind Forest
Cuphead
Sunset Overdrive
Forza Horizon 3
Gears of War 4
PUBG


If you're talking about best games to showcase what the X is capable of, I'd say:

DOOM
Gears of War 4
Assassin's Creed Origins
Far Cry 5
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
Rise of the Tomb Raider
The Witcher 3

If you're talking about best BC X Enhanced games, I'd say:

Red Dead Redemption
Forza Horizon
Gears of War 2
Gears of War 3
SSX 3
Conker: Live & Reloaded
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Portal 2
SKATE 3
The Witcher 2

Well, after spending the time and effort, I wonder if it sold any more copies. They may view it as a waste, which is too bad. I think it would get more excitement on the XB1X.

But really, does it need it?
Yeah it's not the kind of game that needs to be enhanced but I still play it pretty often and would love the treatment. It's still apparently coming I'm just bummed it has been so long.

In my opinion, the top three must haves are
Forza Horizon 3 - Looks great and is a blast to play with tons of stuff to do, and new Forzathon every weekend (I think?) to complete challenges to earn XP, cash, or Horizon Edition cars
Cuphead - Probably not for everyone, but I absolutely loved this game and thought the challenge helped make beating it feel so good (I still gotta get the rest of the cheevos though). not X enhanced though...
RDR - Great, fantastic, wonderful (etc) game if you have not played it and it looks better than it ever has on the X.

How's JC3 on the Bonex?

I got it on PC for a steep discount, but it constantly crashes and threatens to destroy my GPU.
I played on PC as well and even with a 1080Ti it was a buggy crashing mess.

As someone who played it on an Xbox One prior to the X. The game was borderline playable with lots of issues that were never fixed. But after going back to the game on the X it's surprisingly playable and worth a pick up. The game is very CPU intensive and having that extra headroom on the X really allows the explosions and physics to respond like they should. Also if you are even slightly interested and get the game, buy the DLC it's well worth it for the extra toys you get.

Is the HDR in Sea of Thieves supposed to be so dark? It's almost unplayable

Gears and Forza don't give me this issue at all.

Sale already over : (

Thanks for the impressions though

I was thankfully able to get the game running on my PC on max settings without crashing so I'm good

I've just seen that Andromeda is on sale for next to nothing, it's a shame that it never got an enhanced patch otherwise I'd be all over it.

I sure wish Dirt Rally would get enhanced. 4K with some higher assets would be nice The game does look good,like theyre using some filter to give the graphics this certain look,especially on the wet monotone-ish gravel courses,hard to explain. but it does look good. And the bugs,they could patch those two Have had the game about a week and the game has locked up once in loading a course and another time the controller totally would not respond in its menus,couldn't even get back to the dashboard,crazy stuff. Game is two years old so I know it won't have a chance in hell but the game would just even better looking and playing(less bugs) with a nice juicy patch.

That's a great start! Nice mix of BC games in there as well. Honestly, I think DOOM is a must have on the X, and it'd be a good idea to add in the Master Chief Collection, especially with the X patch right around the corner.

Hi guys, I've tried searching for this but maybe I'm dumb and suck at search...

I am playing mass effect on my x1x on a 4K tv. What settings should I make sure to use to make it look it's best? Should I set the console's video output to 1080p?

Attack on Titan 2 looks stunning, as expected. Didn't expect such a smooth framerate either. Really fun game.

As far as I know, that doesn't really do anything. Games which aren't 4k are output at their native res anyway.

Sorry to ask this again - but is Return to Arkham better performing on the X? It's $10, and even with the visual changes, I thought it might be a good time to revisit.

I just picked this up a few days ago actually and played maybe a couple hours. It's great so far, not perfect but it does seem to hold 30fps for most of what I played of City. Looks better than I expected but that's due to my expectations being pretty low in the first place based on all the footage. I haven't tried Asylum yet, nor have I tried it on a regular Xbox One for a proper contrast. I know this doesn't help much so hopefully someone can chime in with a more informative response.

As a newcomer to the X I have 2 questions, which might be super obvious, but hey ho.

1) Does the raw power of the X offer performance issues on games that might have had drops on the original One even without patches? Eg games that might have dropped from their original 30fps targets before, now do, or do they perform identically?

2) Has the remaster of Modern Warfare seriously not been patched?

Newcomer to it also

1) Yep it can do totally, plus 16x AF

2) own it on pro so cannot help with that sadly.

Hey DJ! Found a frame rate video for Attack on Titan 2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meBCz78P1EI - Basically runs at 60fps w/ drops to 50-55ish during intense battles. Also opening the menu brings it down to 30fps and goes back up to 60fps when you resume.
That is a very interesting design decision. I don't know how you managed to discover this video that's been on YT for nearly 2 months and only has 261 views, but thank you! I've updated the OP.

2) Has the remaster of Modern Warfare seriously not been patched?
Correct, it is only enhanced on the PS4 Pro.

which is odd since Infinite Warfare did get an X patch
This is also the same world where Battlefield 1 is patched on the PS4 Pro and not the X, so I'm not too surprised. :P

We're getting closer to E3 and thus also the announcement of Prey DLC ,still hoping so much that they have patched the Xbox One version for X because that DLC will be mine on day one. It probably still will be anyway but come on, we need that game at a much higher resolution at least.

I will happily play through Prey again on the Xbox One X if it gets a healthy enhancement patch. It truly is one of the best games of this generation.

Awesome - yeah, I was just conflicted because I haven't really found any performance breakdowns and I was just wondering if it was a solid 1080/30fps on the X. Thanks for impressions, I'm going to probably bite!

Oh for sure, loved Prey and I hope SO bad a sequel will come, it has to. Let's just hope they found the time to enhance it for X because visually the game is just rather blurry and that's made especially worse now that we're used to X games.

Arkham City has a bug that unlocks the framerate to 60. If anyone is interested I can stream it and try to replicate it.
