This sale has got some great discounts. I'm curious did Taxi Life ever get better with patches, I heard it was quite buggy at launch. Anyone played it recently/post patches?
I've been wanting to try this for ages, it's on my wishlist. I brought number 2, which I need to play more of. I remember playing the first one at the time.
I'm interested to see how much the patches have fixed the game.
Storage is a nightmare. I have an expansion card, which is full and a 4tb ssd external hard drive (Which unfortunately stopped working, annoying considering it's a WD and I had only had it a year, trying to get a replacement has been a pain)
It's a constant battle to keep installing stuff plus some game sizes are huge. Indiana Jones file size is so big, it's the only reason I haven't played it. I don't have the space.
Krikey. I need to pick up Dark Alliance and get through that. Games like this really need a peer to peer network system, so you could at least carry on doing co-op with a friend.
Some tech person on here, you could probably enlighten us to why this isn't done anymore.
@Kilamanjaro Now it's on gamepass, I'll give it another try. When I played it last time,I won one, I took it slowly but the getting killed right at the extraction point is frustrating. I feel like this is a game better played with friends than randoms.
I tried getting into Hunt but too many matches end up the same, you kill the monster and you get to the extraction to find a bunch of other players waiting to kill you. They kill you and take the reward.
@Fishticon I do that but it's not the same. On the 360 in a lot of games it replaced the games music and just handled it much better. Plus I don't want to have to give Spotify money when I already have a large music collection.
The problem is that the Avatars and the editor are well too hidden on the Xbox One and Series S/X. As much as I love the Xbox one and Series X. It's missing too many cool features the 360 had. Like seriously what happened to custom soundtracks.
Also the Xbox Series X needs some dashboard music.
@Elbow Thanks. I remembered it being on Gamepass when it first came out but I totally forgot about it.
It's a shame they totally buried and didn't bother with it. I keep getting tempted to get Gigantic Rampage edition but some people online saying thats the same that its been forgotten about already.
I've enjoyed all the gears games and I like the old and new characters. The only things I don't like is the semi open world sections in 5 and how OP the shotgun in multiplayer is. 5 turned into roll and blast with the shotgun, very annoying. Also the changes to horde mode suck aswell. I remember horde mode being much better in 2 and 3.
Also Hivebusters was amazing. The showed how you can do a story mode without semi open world sections in Gears 5.
Also hopefully they go back to calling it gears of war. I hate how 5 is called Gears 5. Personally I think it should be called Gears of War 5.
I definitely getting this on Switch. When I was watching the direct, I jumped out of my chair when they said Power Stone 1 and 2 are in the collection.
I still have one of power stone games on Dreamcast.
The wishlist system needs sorting. When you go to deals and then to see what games on your wishlist have deals, it doesn't show all the deals for games on your wishlist. So I end having to look through the whole wishlist to see whats on sale.
Also I wished there was an option if say I wishlisted a game. E.g Xbox Racer, It would tell if there was a deal on any of the version e.g xbox racer, xbox racer gold and xbox racer special edition. Having wishlist each edition is frustrating.
@Mustoe I know that. I meant I want Xbox future consoles and for them to continue to be backwards compatible.
I've got most of my consoles plugged in or at least nearby. I've been gaming since the commodore 64. Besides Nintendo (Which are my favourite), The Xbox consoles have been my favourite, great game franchises and a great controller. I've had a few PlayStations but I find the controller uncomfortable in comparison to the Xbox Controllers.
I brought another 4 games this morning and a bunch yesterday and the last few months. I seem to spot something else to buy everytime I look through the store.
Last minute buys were Dark messiah might and magic, Backbreaker vengeance, a bunch of the WWII airplane games, Street fighter X Tekken, the bears expansion for kinectimals and a bunch more.
The 360 was definitely one of my favourite times in gaming before everything got season passes, live services and games that last a year and then get shut down.
I went to check the details on Gamepass and wow, the file size is huge. I would have to uninstall so much for a game that I would probably only play once in a while. File sizes are getting ridiculous.
It's a shame you can't play of external hard drives. I know why but the internal memory isn't enough, I brought a internal storage card but I still run out of space.

Re: Reminder: Xbox's First Game Pass Departures Of 2025 Will Leave This Week (January 15)
I been having a blast playing Exoprimal, that I brought a physical copy and the season pass 1-4 bundle.
I think it's a game people don't give enough of a chance.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled On Xbox Game Pass?
The Bots in the single player mode are very unbalanced. Making the single player mode very frustrating.

Re: Surprise! Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Drifts Onto Xbox Game Pass This Week
I would love this game, if the AI of the other racers wasn't so unfair in the single player mode. Plus the drifting mechanic is kinda odd.

If it's a platformer/puzzle game, I buy on Switch (If it runs well). Otherwise I buy on Xbox and PC.
Re: Lots Of Games Are Discounted By 90% On Xbox This Weekend (October 19-20)
Anyone played Rico? I'm sure I watched some gameplay of it and it looked fun but the reviews are all over the place.
£1.59 seems like a great price.

Re: Talking Point: Have Xbox Series X|S Dynamic Backgrounds Lived Up To The Hype?
The ones that celebrate cultures, ethic heritage and LGBTQ+ ones are pretty kool but I find some aren't quite dynamic enough.
I believe currently have the Hispanic Heritage Month 2023 one set as mine.
There's potential, it's just under used.
Re: Forza Motorsport Update 11 Adds Multi-Class Racing, Road Atlanta Circuit
I haven't played a mainline Forza game in ages. I really enjoyed 3 and 4 but fell off after that.
The Forza Horizon games I enjoyed aswell but same thing again, I fell off after 4.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Crash Bandicoot On Xbox Game Pass?
Crash Bandicoot 2 is definitely my favourite.
Re: Talking Point: Is Local Co-Op On Xbox Still Important To You In 2024?
I would love if more games had local co-op especially story/adventure games.
I love playing co-op with my partner but most games we have to pass the controller back and forth due to the lack of local co-op.
That's why games like Spritfarer are great because player 2 can join in as the cat and still enjoy the story and platforming.
P.s Spritfarer is a fantastic game.
Re: Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6's Co-Op Mode Is Playable Entirely In Third-Person
I might check it out, now you can play it in 3rd person.

@Fallingshadow Thanks. Anyone got a list of games that their dlc doesn't show on the xbox one store.
Re: Last Orders! What Are You Getting Before The Xbox 360 Store Closes?
I just spoke to someone at Xbox and they said you can buy backwards compatible DLC after the 360 store closes.
Re: Last Orders! What Are You Getting Before The Xbox 360 Store Closes?
@Fallingshadow Any idea which backward compatible games you can and cannot buy DLC after the store closes?
I keep getting conflicting information from various places
Re: How To Install Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 On Xbox Game Pass
@GuyinPA75 agreed the Shadowrun FPS was great.
Re: Here's The Final List Of Xbox 360 Store Sales Ahead Of July 29th
@Elbow I did the same. I grabbed Remember me, War World, Yar's revenge and fancy pants adventure.
I had more fun with War World than I was expecting.
I missed Black Knight Sword, that's a game I don't know anything about.
Xbox really should have added more games to its backwards compatible list.
Re: It's Official! Call Of Duty: MW3 Joins Xbox Game Pass This Wednesday
I went to check the details on Gamepass and wow, the file size is huge. I would have to uninstall so much for a game that I would probably only play once in a while. File sizes are getting ridiculous.
It's a shame you can't play of external hard drives. I know why but the internal memory isn't enough, I brought a internal storage card but I still run out of space.
Re: Here's The Final List Of Xbox 360 Store Sales Ahead Of July 29th

Re: Asphalt Legends Unite Launches For Free On Xbox Consoles Today
I stopped playing this because they wiped my progress. They said I had left it too long between sessions and totally wiped all my progress and cars.
This is also why , I have been put off playing Disney Speedstorm.
