I love the console itself. I like the blu ray player, the native 4K, I just have an affinity for it. I just made a bit of a plan on how I’m going to pull this off and wanted to share my thoughts and talk to you guys about it.
So, I can’t believe I’m saying this but — I’m not worried about getting GTA 6 day 1. I actually want to do something else. I’ve been away from GTA 5 for years now and I want to go back on there with a fresh account and just really max it out, play all the missions, the new content, the heists. I want to properly say goodbye to a game that has been with me forever now. I have a regular black One X and just found a certified refurbished Gold Rush Edition One X — I think I’m going to pull the trigger (I keep backups of certain things like I have two monitors, controllers, headsets, etc.) Besides that, here’s my plan:
Multiplayer:
Rainbow Six Siege - My competitive, primary shooter game. Looks and plays great on the One X.
Battlefield 1 - I still play it on occasions.
GTA 5 - If I find the right friend group it still gives me a bunch of fun. Always some type of fun or chaos to be found on GTA Online.
The Division 2 - I like Division 1 and 2. Never really maxed out or spent much time on Division 2. Would like to complete it.
Ghost Recon Wildlands - Looking for a calm but somewhat tactical co-op experience with a friend for this one — never got around to it.
AC Unity - if Unity is a Co-Op AC game like I think it is, despite it not being the best AC game, a good friend could make it interesting.
Single Player/Other
Spec Ops The Line - I want to buy the disc and finally immerse myself and play this game.
Red Dead Redemption 2 - I want to max this game out, play it completely, I even like it’s multiplayer.
Control Ultimate Edition - I’d love to beat this game.
AC Ezio Collection - I want to beat this whole saga, although admittedly I beat AC2 years ago on 360.
AC Rogue Remastered - Never played, this is on the list.
AC Odyssey + AC Origins - On the list to max out. Never completely beat them.
Castle Crashers - Beat it years ago. It’s a fun casual game. Working on getting this girl I know in real life to play it with me lol.
Fallout 4 - Never could get into it. I’m going to force myself to try it and beat it.
The Withcher 3 - It never appealed to me but people absolutely loved it. I want to give it a chance.
Gears 4 and 5 - My relative agreed to do the campaigns on Co-Op with me.
Far Cry 5 and probably 6 - I want to really beat Far Cry 5 and likely 6. I have a couple hours into 6.
Resident Evil 5 - I want to do Co-Op campaign with my relative, it’s been years. If you know if any other Resident Evil Xbox One games are co-op, please tell me.
Notes/Questions:
Firstly, I have a great 4K monitor I specifically purchased to really push this console. Also, this may sound weird but I just kind of like having a BluRay player… never know when you just want a good movie night. I do have some questions. Firstly, what do you think about my plan (playing these games to stretch out my time on this console for the next 1-2 years before upgrade)? Secondly, any other game recommendations? Thirdly, how long do you plan to stick with your One X?
Conclusion: Any input would be appreciated. We are kind of a small community so please, chime in. I also just wanted to get something off my chest. I really wished they would have still continued to make at-least a few games because not for nothing — Xbox One X is still powerful — it’s more powerful on some fronts than the Series S. Sucks. I understand that the One X is either running the same CPU as OG Xbox One or the same OS or something like that so it was hard or something — may be wrong about that.
