“We are going to play the Play”, means we are going to play video games in a large part of the Argentines. The cultivation of Playstation became a mark and postponed other experiences, such as playing with an Xbox. Who writes these lines first tested an Xbox with the Series X, the recently launched.
And it is an experience that leaves sensations. Cute and self-reproachful. The first thing is the question: “What was I doing that I had not had this in my hands ?!”
Already from the grip of the joystick there is wave, infatuation and complicity. There are joysticks that are held in the hands, but this one is held in the hands. In a game session you end up not feeling it. It is an extension of your body. Livianito, he accommodates himself to all circumstances. And the mistreatment of the fierce fights of Mortal Kombat or the stretched sticks that is a Fifa 21 in online mode is benched.
Xbox is a cult of simplicity. It is less fache than the Playstation, it must be said, but it is noble and warrior. The Series X does not make noise, it does not heat, it runs the game you throw at it. And it’s backward compatible with all Xbox titles …
That last, for a gamer just into 40 years, is wonderful. Playing video games is being a kid for a while. And playing the games you played when you were a kid is to feel pampered now as a veteran gamer.
The console interface is also friendly. Everything by hand, everything without turns. Xbox is a place for that gamer who plays when and how he can.
It shines with the Game Pass system, which offers a library of games that counts for 200 if you add in the mention to EA Play, the platform that collects the relics of Electronics Arts.
You even feel that the console returns a love that it hopes will not return.
And it has prices in pesos, which for an adult who manages a home, is also a matter to value.
And it has the Quick Resume system, which takes you to the games at the same point where you left them the last time you were in them. Obviously, this does not count for online multiplayer games like Fortnite.
- Does having an Xbox mean not having a Playstation 5? No, that innate antagonism of the Argentines does not run. Of course, everything depends on the wallet of each person.
- What is missing from the Xbox? That of the exclusives that the Play has.
- What don’t you like? That sharing content on networks is not always so dynamic and that the joystick has double AA batteries (they tend to wear out quickly). In short, little things that do not detract from the greatness of this colossal machine (with hardware power to admire).
The closing of the note goes with this truth, that of its author: Xbox Series X is a charming appearance for those who were always on the other side of the road.
