Is this worth even getting on the Series X? I’ve seen people complaining about the graphics and texture pop in. But I really want to try it.
I don't recall seeing any graphical issues when I played on XBox. That being said, the game never really stuck for me, so I only put in 10 hours or so.

I played it for about 30 hours. It's a unique experience for sure. My favorite aspect is how immersive the world feels.
To me though, it felt too much like something that started life as a live service GACHA title (seriously those menus) with a poor English translation.

I'm like 10 hours in. Holy shite. So much to do.

Did anyone else just get overwhelmed with this game? I thought it was incredible then just stopped. Not sure why as it’s a huge and gorgeous game. Hard to put my finger on it

I wasted my money on it. Only played about an hour. I wanted to committ to it but once I heard how insignificant the story is I decided it wasn’t really for me. I need a good story if I’m going to commit that much time to a game

Ya there’s so much content but it’s shallow. Like an ocean being three feet deep.
The content is terrible too

It was a solid game but those early reviews that scored it in the 6 or 7 range were correct. Definitely a lot better of an experience now compared to release since they’ve added on the rest of the game.

I had the complete opposite experience
Game doesn't even get started until 10 hours in
I put in about 180+ hours.
fricking amazing
Release did have controller issues, and that was about it.

Did you enjoy combat?
Posted on 8/23/26 at 10:58 pm to GeauxLaneTrain
Combat is fine, targeting and target switching blows.
Depth, variety, freedom, scale, and exploration are amazing.
Story is weak, but the story doesn't matter.
Among the best games of the last 5 years

I guess I just don’t care for how you can eat a buffet during combat. It’s definitely a beautiful world

I think it suits the horde combat schema
I just really dislike target switching yanking the camera around
Content and sheer number of things to do are all top tier.

I enjoy the combat. I modded it a bit to cut down on grinding and every week they would patch the thing and break the mods I was using so I finally gave up and decided to play it once they are done patching.
If you like open world sandboxes, this is one of the best. If you need a tight narrative, this game isn't for you. Thus some people really love it and some despise it. Not much middle ground.
I think most of the people who scream about the narrative didn't play for very long. I don't mind a big old sandbox. I have 200 hours in the game and didn't progress the story hardly at all. Just worked on my base and clearing the map.

I played 50 or so hours. May get back into it after all these fall releases. I really do WANT to like it

You get the gist of the story, the basic mechanics. . .then it's all, frick off
Love that
