    Thinking of getting an external hard drive for the series x. Might cop prime day

    have u seen the special one that plugs right into the Series consoles?

    its a 1TB SSD and it has Xbox Velocity meaning loading times and Quick Resume equal to the SSD on the inside of the console

    it's $199.99 USD pretty sure

    I restarted that game 3 times. Couldn’t get more than like 3 hours in

    first try i put 2-3 hours in

    took a 6 month break

    my backlog is empty now so i came back and tbh i'm gonna finish it and i'm more intrigued than ever the further i get into the game

    immersion is Arkane's #1 specialty

    Imma save to get that when I need it for series x only games. I got a 5TB external for everything else that’s not series x enhanced.

    Gonna need that tho once the exclusives start dropping this year. Hopefully it’s like 150 around Black Friday

    but even non enhanced games still benefit from the SSD and Xbox Velocity loading time benefits

    and on top of that a lot of non Series X|S enhanced games also benefit from FPS Boost and Quick Resume

    but yeah still just 1TB so that gives a total less than 2TB so that 5TB is a big deal

    Yeah I know I looked into the load time difference and all that, I know how ssd’s work. But I was just looking for a mass storage device, and with the games I play, it honestly isn’t a huge difference (some games I understand it saves minutes like ff15, rdr2 and gta v but I don’t play those games) and with multiplayer games you gotta wait for everyone to load in.

    I was just looking for cheap and big went to Best Buy and get a 5tb price matched with an amazon listing. Works like a charm.

    Gonna need that internal ssd tho if they come with bigger sizes and when they get cheaper

    Also not sure if you knew

    FPS boost and quick resume work on a normal hard drive

    Hell even some series x games (even tho they advertise they don’t) work on a hard drive. Halo MCC, the new mass effect, and some others can play off hard drives even though they are series x enhanced.

    But yeah most require the new internal ssd

    most external hard disk drives over 2TB aren't nearly as fast as the SSDs in the Series X or the expansion card

    but thats cool that QR and FPS+ work on a HDD

    avoided Forza for so long because i thought Horizon wasnt much different from Motorsport (which is a bit too serious and tryhard lol) but Horizon has those fine tuned difficulty settings for a more arcadey vibe while still keeping it closer to a sim than NFS Heat ever could

    after finally giving it a go i've been playing FH4 2-3 times a week for the last 6 months straight

    Probably won't happen since they would have to renew a whole lot of licensing. same reason why old sports games arent backwards compatible.
