Xbox Series X - Pros and Cons Retrospective Review and Games

[@ircha]

I may be mistaken about something in the video, can someone clarify? Can all previous generation Xbox games be played on the Series X or not? I hear some games doesn't work? I'm sorry if I was mistaken, I thought it could play everything from pre-gen systems.

[@DurableName]

They cannot. All (non-Kinect) Xbox One games can play on the new Series X/S, but less than half of the Xbox 360 library are compatible and less than 50 original (the first) Xbox games are currently backwards compatible. They've done better than Sony in this regard, but it still isn't ideal.

[@isaiah1516]

They are not all compatible but they are constantly working on making more games available for it.

[@DJELKING]

It's not fully backward compatible with every game in the catalog, they have a list of all supported titles on the website

[@emodadon1131]

@@DurableName most games that's not compatible is becuz of licensing. Plus they are still adding more.

I'm gonna miss the evasiveness of 5. The grappling hook will make for some interesting surprise plays, but I get the feeling that people are going to be a lot less aggressive overall. Maybe I'm wrong though. I didn't play the beta and most of the footage I've seen hasn't really shown off what Infinite can really do.

[@michaelhyatt245]

I agree with your thoughts on the Series X. It's my most played console right now, but I don't have a PS5. Playstation and Nintendo both have more interesting libraries, but GamePass makes Xbox worth it, in my opinion. I love the backwards compatibility and the controller. I definitely agree that Xbox needs some more JRPG type games. Some more interesting/weird games instead of the standard sports, and shooters. I always end up buying all of the consoles, so it doesn't matter anyway. Console wars are lame. All of these systems are great in their own ways.

[@ircha]

Agree 💯

They have more interesting exclusives, right but keep in mind that many Xbox exclusives were announced and are in production.

[@samg3187]

The sheer game diversity on Xbox is by far the most diverse out of all of them. Sure on jrpg not a huge amount of them but they have shooters, racers, 3rd person adventure, flight simulators, rpg, twin stick, platfoemers from first & third party party. Sony doesn’t make jrpg. I think this gen with the amount of ppl getting Xbox we’ll see a lot of those third party jrpg coming to Xbox and to gamepass, like the Yakuza series. That’s like 600+ hours worth of games alone. It will be interesting to see what the jrpg space will be like next year.

[@FreddyBoBeddy]

@@samg3187 You were right about seeing more JRPGs on Xbox. I've even seen more niche titles come over. I prefer it to the PS5, but I keep having to switch back to the PlayStation for many of the ones I play, so I'm really hoping to see more come over. If lose my mind if they brought over the Atelier games.

[@animeadict17]

I was able to get my Xbox series x for Christmas and I’m in love! The fact that most of the games I play are at 60 FPS is a Far Cry 😁 from last gen with the sub 30 FPS games. Gamepass is a game changer and helps me decide what games I like that I can then pick up either used physically or on deep discount digitally love your content and I like that you look at the whole picture when it comes to Xbox

[@ircha]

Thank you so much 😁😁

Better build gaming pc than why buy xbox thats no point buying xbox

[@Turo602]

The Series X is such a great console right now. My backlog is massive and I've been playing a lot of games that have been benefiting from the hardware and upgrades. Quick resume has really spoiled me too. The Xbox One was a trainwreck, but the Series X has definitely made me glad I stuck with it since I can take my entire library with me and just keep gaming like I always have but with next gen benefits. And while I personally don't need Gamepass, it's an undeniably great service for consumers. Xbox really does offer the most bang for your buck.

[@Turo602]

@Rubicon 1 Definitely. One of the first games I tried was Gears 5 and I immediately felt the difference. So much more responsive and fluid, and it already felt that way on the One X. The graphics are even more stunning too. I also tested out Resident Evil 2 and I was able to jump between saves in mere seconds and finished up some challenges I gave up on due to how much they required restarting and waiting for the game to reload. And I did this all while I was playing Red Dead Redemption II, which I played for a few months straight, and never once had to reload the game. Just kept jumping back in with quick resume. I really hope these seamless game generations become the norm moving forward. Xbox has really dedicated themselves to it and it feels great just looking at my 100+ library of games and knowing they can all be played on one machine.

[@ircha]

@@Turo602 agree! Quick resume has me spoiled! 😁👍

[@jimpanrooney]

Went for series x myself this generation and it's amazing so far. Love the upscale for older games they have and that I can use the older controllers as well and in general how they treat the older generations with this :) also great video

[@Turo602]

Good news about Xbox in regards to Japanese games, is that they've been drastically expanding and making an effort to work with Japanese developers to get more Japanese support. The original Xbox was a flop in Japan and the brand has been quite non-existent there since. But ever since Phil Spencer took over, Xbox has games like Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Yakuza, Nier, and so much more they wouldn't have gotten before. They've definitely been making the right moves.

[@jacobrogers0]

And we know japanese developers are Talented AF

[@janusvarela6617]

I really hope all this Japanese support continues. JRPGs are actually pretty much what I only play on my One X (still waiting on Series X availability).

[@thisisntthewholesomefuture649]

Ive had a PS5 since Dec 22nd.. I think I'd prefer the Series X. The only thing that stopped me from getting the Series X over PS5, was the fact that I have hundreds of game already on PlayStation. As of right now, I believe the Series X is the better purchase for gamers. Looking at Game Pass and gamer points you get just for playing games on your Xbox. Xbox is more consumer friendly. Sony is greedy and mostly out of touch. I keep hearing from developers that Sony is difficult to work with.. Poor communication, software thats more costly on Devs to port from PC, and the sickening prices for games on the PSN.. The high prices for games years after launch.. It's by design.

[@bobby_c07]

I feel the same way, have had my ps5 since February. I have a decent PC so it's not a huge deal, but I'm sure if I had a Series X I'd be on it more than the PS.

Hi, great video, but the PS5 doesn't have any sort of quick resume. You can put the system into rest mode and then pick up from exactly where you left off straight away but you can't switch between games without restarting each one.

[@Sticks_of_Truth]

She may be referring to last played. There's an option to load directly into your previously played. This is useful for new games with almost no load time but it's meaningless with backwards compatible games. Quick resume is awesome but the feature actually uses more space within the OS and Sony already streamlined the its limited storage for speed within the board itself. Maybe they could implement it later utilizing expanded storage. Microsoft just them beat with ADD gamers. I tend to switch between systems more than game to game myself.

[@ircha]

Ok, my friend Cathrine claimed that it had 😂 she's wrong then 😊

@@ircha Great review. I have a Series X and a PS5, the PS5 does have a thing titled "Switcher" when you press the Playstation button on the remote that seamlessly let's you switch between games that you've played since you've turned the console on. But once you turn off the system, or put it into rest mode, it resets, & you have to restart the games again next time you turn the console on. Unlike Quick resume, which makes it so you can turn the system off 20 times and still just jump back into your games.

I feel like the Series X has a good chance of winning this console war. If they don't win, they at least took a major lead. Mostly because of the fact that it is available for people to buy. Granted not as available as it should be, but if you really try you can get one. PS5 just isn't unless you want to pay those asshole scalpers. The very same scalpers that scooped up all of the 30 series Nividia cards. Also having it be backwards compatible with every other generation of xbox is a major plus for me. I have quite a few 360 and OG xbx games that I would love to play again with updated graphics. Agree that the names of these consoles suck. Overall great video.

If only Ryza was on XBox. I’m looking forward to getting my switch OLED edition, will be great to have a good screen. PS Vita was way ahead of its time. At some point I’ll get a PS5. Scalper prices are coming down and even at scalper prices of < $900 are in my opinion better value than upgrading my graphics card as at least I’ll play the PS5 for several years.

[@TheGoldenPS1]

They can't be called PlayStation RPGs if they are third party games owned by other companies. PlayStation is now synonymous with PlayStation Studios. If the game is not first-party it can't be considered a PlayStation game. Sony Interactive Entertainment brand disappeared when PlayStation Studios replaced it. These smaller games are no longer locked to PlayStation to be exclusive. There is no reason for it. Ken Kutaragi's business model proved to be a failure in the end. Only games that now sells millions like mainline Persona or FF is what PlayStation keeps doing deals. Let alone Arc System Works they have acquired and will soon be announced.

I'd trade all my XB1 discs for digital copies if there was a way. It would be so much more convenient for switching and quick-resume. I'm only a "casual" gamer really. Ok maybe a step-up from casual. I'll still buy discs sometimes too though, because the deals are too hard to turn down & I'm suckered in by the artwork on the covers! Not a fan boy of any, but I'm liking where XB is going with cloud gaming and think they'll make a stick or dongle, especially with instant cloud gaming on the horizon. Steam deck has piqued my interest too. ...As has your channel which I discovered today! 🙌 (Subbbbed!)

[@christopherbassit2757]

That’s what they want though. We need our disc and cant kill the 2nd hand market. I love my physical collection. I have so many old ps2 games now worth money. Also today I bought a brand new copy of elden ring for $35 today on eBay.

Enjoyed the video! I have had so many hardware issues with PS4 consoles I have been thinking about buying an Xbox series x instead of a ps5. Still undecided and will likely wait another year or so.

[@keedsouza1252]

Loved the video and the table cover :P Best part about the new consoles is the backwards compatibility, looking forward to getting my hands on a ps5! Do you think someday an Xbox will be called a XXX Box? LOL their naming system is a joke. Anyways thanks for the video was awesome^^

[@ircha]

Next one should be called Xbox Two X Series SX!

I'm probably going to he'll for this. I got my seriesX by "strongly coercing" a scalper. I work appliance repair. I'm all over the place fixing people's broken stuff. On this call my stars aligned. Pulled up to a service call. Walked into garage to work on LG washer. Saw to large stacks with blankets hastily thrown on them. Saw the ps5 and Xbox logo's peaking through. I lost my shit right there. It was everything in me to keep cool and not smash his face on sight.. There were 43 seriesX 24 seriesS among another almost equal pile of ps5's. He went inside and I calmly removed the blankets acting like nothing happened. I focused on the guys washer. He had no warranty because he bought on Grey market. My brain spinning in anger, rage and trying to spin this in a way it works for me. Find his problem. Main board is faulty. Yes, with a soldering iron I can fix it for pennies.. but not for this guy. I look up part at cost and it's 650$ and on back order till end of October.. we are in a chip shortage remember. I go to my truck act like I'm calling to find his part knowing full well I have one on board that I personally own that he NEEDS. I calm down, form my plan and go at him kamikaze. I calmly walk back tell him the news and tell him the truth that I have perhaps the only part readily available right now. I point at the scalped consoles and tell him you will sell to me at cost if you want your sh!t fixed. He loses it. I start packing my things up to leave applying pressure. As I get to my truck his wife runs out to stop me. I negotiated 4 X's at cost plus 3 's. I go to ATM get cash and come back. I select my units with money and their part in hand and we make the "trade". Yes he paid 850$ total.. i gave him no breaks in price. He was so angry but also scared.. he knows I know who he is now. They were all bought according to him through bot buying. So I have all these units. I'm keeping an X for myself and have already gave 2 s units to struggling people that deserve and will appreciate them. I'm holding the rest till Xmas time and will give them to people in my community that are struggling and deserving. He also admitted the scalping is widely happening that there are many more he knows working together doing this. Guys none of the retailers have did anything to stop this. I'm still pissed off

[@wiccangamer0336]

I have a ps5 and been on the fence about Outriders. I'll probably pick it up now :p

I had a blast!

What games will you be playing this halloween season. 🎃 and if I may suggest a great game to play fatal frame maiden of black water it comes out on October 28th

[@babyboy1971]

I got an Xbox series S and I love it. My first Xbox since the 360. I love my switch so much, and I love my PS4, but after falling in love with the series S, I’m actually going to opt for the series X as my next console, not a PS5. And I’ve been a Sony guy since the PS1! PS: I also love JRPG’s and they are slowly arriving on Xbox and I also have my switch for that!

[@PlagueRat-]

Great video! Maybe I should move to Norway. The U.S is getting to stressful, and Norwegian Metal rules! Err at least some of it

Good work! Brava 👏

[@MichaelaWerner]

I bought a Xbox Series S some weeks ago and I think, all of what you have said is right. I own a Ps4 Pro and I like to use the Xbox more than the PS4. The only thing, I am missing too, are the JRPG‘s.

Gamepass helped me try many games I would have never played,. I tried Guacamelee on Switch first and I didn’t like it, I then played it on Gamepass on a big screen and I liked it, which made me buy it digitally and physically again on Switch!! Gamepass also made me buy many XBOX Physical games! I finished Doom 2016 on Gamepass and I liked it a lot, so I bought the physical versions of Doom slayer edition and Doom Eternal Deluxe edition for XBOX I bought GTA V xbox physical version after playing it for the 1st time on Gamepass. The same for Oris, Rare Replays and Killer Instinct. Gamepass is an amazing service and the best deal in gaming today

[@babyboy1971]

If you like sniping, I highly recommend the Hitman Series on Series X. It’s on gamepass and it’s incredible. Hitman 3 is legendary. Love you videos! PS: My Xbox series X just arrived and it’s brilliant. Love it. And like you, I love Sony and Nintendo also.

There's sniping in Hitman? 😁 I'm interested

wow thats cool 🥺 i'm buying ps4 this year i'm super late 🥺 btw Ircha are you buying the nintendo switch oled on october?

[@ircha]

I'm not planning on getting the Oled Switch no. There's not enough upgrade or change to it to justify the purchase.

[@joilynnloner897]

@@ircha Okay 😊 i thought you will buy 😅 so me too i'll stick to my switch lite or maybe buy a regular switch heheh

[@Bonesince1997]

Put it on its side, if you're having trouble with the size. There's no reason to fault it because you'd rather it upright. I personally have never enjoyed a vertical disc drive. I'm surprised you do, with all that physical!

[@Jpilgrim30]

Xbox isn’t messing around this generation. The value they’re bringing with gamepass is insane. I’ve never felt like I have had more games to play and if I want to play those games on my PC that has an RTX 3080 I can do that too with most games. Phil has been making a big push to get more Japanese developers to bring their games to Xbox going forward

Excited to play Psychonauts 2 this month and not pay $60 to play it because I have Game Pass 😁

it may not have a huge jrpg list like sony but microsoft is actually getting better at fixing that before they didn't have much at all compared to whats on gamepass now they've actually been trying to expand in that genre i highly recommend lost odyssey it's an awesome jrpg that was was only on xbox for a long time. i like all brands, but I'm more of a xbox person. I love shooters... so this console has a lot of value for me.
