116 out of 125GB downloaded of Marvels Avengers and boom. It stops and strawberry floating resets. WTF is going on with the downloads?

Seems to be quite a widespread issue. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/26 ... x/79690024

My suspicion is that it’s a problem with the latest Xbox update, and it’s only more apparent with Avengers because it’s a huge download and has just become free on Game Pass so more people are downloading it.

Ended up deleting Avengers, played about a couple of hours and got to the end of the first proper mission where you can select any hero to play....

The game is just dull, I normally like loot RPG style games but this just sucks which is a huge shame as I was looking forward to playing it so much.

How long has it been the case when you’ve got a game loaded up and you press the Xbox button that it says on the right hand side of the screen ‘Quick Resume, Auto HDR, FPS Boost’ ? Guessing it only says the relevant ones to each game but neat knowing what enhancements/features are available. Just loaded up Prey when I noticed this.

It's been there quite a while. I think it dates back to when they added FPS boost.

Is harmony of despair an igavania/metroidvania or a traditional level based castlevania?

Neither, it's one big screen with enemies and you've got to get to the boss and defeat it. You can play it in multiplayer which is how it was meant to be played, solo is quite a dull experience.

If you lighten the bottom it says "From the Duke to Gen9 thanks for 20 years of memories" so probably a anniversary normal and/or elite controller.

The 20th Anniversary controller does look pretty smart; I like the translucent top surface of the casing.

It would be more apposite if the green ring around the d-pad was a different colour.

The art layout on that controller is a beautifull mess.

Imagine some poor sod getting that for Christmas, and thinking it's the console.
