@Gabrie Yeah, it does sound good. I'm more of a Battlefield player, but I'm tempted to upgrade to Ultimate to give some of the other COD's a go. I really want to give Horizon 6 a play too.
@themightyant Fair point, was a bit cynical. Perhaps I should've said 'some of the community'. It sometimes feels like Xbox could hand out free £20 notes with Game Pass and somebody would still be upset about the amount 😄
@FraserG Yeah, I just love the campaign and how it can change mid tour. I can't remember how it happened, but the rest of my races all changed to Eliminators once 😂 safe to say my ride couldn't handle the pressure 🤣
I caved and bought it yesterday on Series S and it runs smooth. 😁 wasn't going to buy day one, but was seeing and hearing so many good things about it. I love it, not had this much fun with a racer since Burnout Revenge 😂
@mac01208 I'm ok with lady bosses (Queen Myrrah), I just don't like it when it feels like they put them in to tick a certain box, or to keep a certain audience happy.
@Roxion Same... I haven't played it, but most of my friends on xbox have said that about some of the characters. Probably not the best site to discuss, but specifically not liking the female characters and how they always seem to emasculate the men in power.
I won't be buying on release, but I'm definitely getting this at some point. I'm a big fan of racers and the Roguelike/lite style, so super excited to play it.
As much as I really enjoyed this game the first time around, do I want to do it again for another 60-70 hours just because it looks better? Don't think I do.
I'm not desperate to play, so will just wait for reviews and general reactions from players. Also, I simply cannot justify spending £90 on a game, so NO! I won't be touching any Premium upgrade.
@Bionic-Spencer 🤣 "inept handling of their business". 🤣 I think you'll find that most on here have the same sentiment when it comes to Microsoft XBOX too.
A bit late to the party, but I discovered a bit of a gem at the weekend, and if you're into games like Vampire Survivors or Brotato, then you'll love it. It's called 'Yet Another Zombie Survivors', and at £12.49, it's even sweeter.
@DarthNadroj I'm pretty sure a lot of gamers would be interested in these type of games, and that others aren't that interested in the games you mentioned.
I'm really no good at fighting games. All those wacky button pressing combos you got to remember hurts my head and fingers. I did play Tekken and Soul Blade back in the day, but never played this. Might give it a go whilst it's on GP.
@dskatter Exactly what I was thinking. Not to be over cynical, but that playtime could easily have been scripted before they got anyone in to watch. There's no way this game will be buttery smooth on release.
Yall focused on the graphics and how amazing it looks, doesn't mean the game is going to be GOTY, it needs to be fun and have replayability. Graphics don't mean nothing.
I started playing Warhammer Space Marine 2, and WOW! It's basically Gears of War with bigger armour, bigger guns, bigger enemies, bigger everything, and looks absolutely stunning... oh! and then I played some Stardew Valley on my Switch to wind down 😊

Re: All New Games Coming To Xbox In November 2026
Manic Miner? 😁 Wow! That brings back some memories from the Amstrad days.
Re: Kojima's Xbox-Published OD KNOCK Gets A New Game Poster
Apparently it is co-written with the film-maker who did "Get Out" and "Nope", so yeah! It's gonna be extra weird for sure.
Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon In November 2026
I have just upgraded to Ultimate so looking forward to Warhammer Survivors... big fan of the Warhammer theme.
Re: Xbox CEO Celebrates 'Incredible' Milestones For Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4
@Gabrie Yeah, it does sound good. I'm more of a Battlefield player, but I'm tempted to upgrade to Ultimate to give some of the other COD's a go. I really want to give Horizon 6 a play too.
Re: Poll: If You're Playing Modern Warfare 4, What Do You Think So Far?
@RTGX Never been a big fan of COD, Battlefield is amazing if you like multiplayer.
Re: Nine Games Are Leaving Xbox Game Pass In Late October 2026
@YeyoFairy It is addictive, I bought it a while ago.

Re: Report: Xbox Planning Major Overhaul Of Game Pass With 'À La Carte' Options
Let's be honest, what-ever xbox do change, the community will still complain 😐
Re: With Two Months To Go, These Are Metacritic's 10 Best Xbox Games Of 2026
I'm hearing and seeing a lot of good things about Ace Combat 8. My inner Maverick needs to play it 😎
Re: Star Wars: Galactic Racer Might Be Getting Xbox Play Anywhere Support
@FraserG Yeah, I just love the campaign and how it can change mid tour. I can't remember how it happened, but the rest of my races all changed to Eliminators once 😂 safe to say my ride couldn't handle the pressure 🤣
Re: Star Wars: Galactic Racer Might Be Getting Xbox Play Anywhere Support
@FraserG I presume you are talking about Galactic Racer, it really is a great game.
Re: Five Games Are Confirmed For Xbox Game Pass In November 2026 So Far
Warhammer Survivors for me please 😁 Looks just like Vampire Survivors.
Re: 10 Xbox Games Are Out Today, Including A Trio Of Day One Game Pass Titles (October 8)
@ZeD In a club? Sounds interesting. Looking forward to this one from what I've heard and seen.
Re: These Nine Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass, Including Battlefield 6 (October 8-16)
I'm definitely giving Neon Abyss 2 a go, looks like fun, if I can pull myself away from Galactic Racer that is 😂
Re: Digital Foundry 'Impressed' With Star Wars: Galactic Racer's 'Nigh-On Flawless Performance' On Xbox Series X|S

Re: Gears Of War: E-Day (Multiplayer) - Playing Horde Siege And Versus Makes Me Feel Like A Kid Again

Re: Interview: Gears Of War: E-Day - The Coalition Talks Locust, Development Pressures, And Building 'The Best F***ing Gears Game'

Re: Three 'Day One' Xbox Game Pass Titles Are Confirmed For The Next Few Days (October 6-8)
Loving the chaotic look of Neon Abyss 😁 definitely looking at that one.
Re: Five Things I'm Absolutely Loving About Star Wars: Galactic Racer On Xbox Series X

@Coletrain Yeah, this is exactly what I'm waiting for... 😁
Re: Five New Xbox Games Are Finishing Off The Month, Including A Free-To-Play Shadow Drop (September 30)
Haha! Suburban Warfare sounds like a lot of fun 😂
Re: Xbox CEO Asha Sharma Shares 'First Look' At Unlocking The Mythic In Gears Of War: E-Day
I do get it... Mythic can be described as 'achieving a legendary, larger-than-life reputation', so it kind of makes sense.
Re: Here's What The Witcher 3 Remastered Looks Like On Xbox Series X|S
As much as I really enjoyed this game the first time around, do I want to do it again for another 60-70 hours just because it looks better? Don't think I do.
Re: Xbox Bulks November 2026's Game Pass Lineup With Another Day One Console Release
I do like a build and defend game. There's something very satisfying when those pesky attackers fail to fall my kingdom 😁
Re: Roundup: The First Reviews Are Going Live For Well Dweller, And Critics Are Calling It An All-Timer
@Gabrie 100% agree
Re: Roundup: All The Xbox Reveals From The Tokyo PC Gaming Show, Including Multiple Game Pass Titles
Yeah! Ball x Pit expansion sounds great, love that game.
Re: Talking Point: So, Are You Getting The Premium Upgrade For Gears Of War: E-Day?
I'm not desperate to play, so will just wait for reviews and general reactions from players. Also, I simply cannot justify spending £90 on a game, so NO! I won't be touching any Premium upgrade.
Re: Gears Of War: E-Day Has Officially Gone 'Gold', Pre-Installs Confirmed For This Month
I'll play at some point no doubt. Happy to wait and see how well it's received.
Re: Eight Games Are Leaving Xbox Game Pass In Late September 2026
@Bionic-Spencer 🤣 "inept handling of their business". 🤣

Re: Spoilers For Three Upcoming Xbox First-Party Titles Revealed In Massive Achievement List Leak
@fizban3332 Yes, plot/story lines are what I would consider a spoiler. Finding out about upcoming game releases I don't consider as spoilers.
Re: Here's A Look At 30 New GTA 6 Screenshots To Hype You Up After The Extended Preview
@badboidre He never said he'd never played GTA, he's never finished a GTA... Big difference!
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Reviews Are Saying About Hot Wheels: Infinite Rush
Yeah, not really a fan of open world racing myself. I like to keep it on the track.
Re: Three Games Are Confirmed For Xbox Game Pass This Week (September 8-10)
@awp69 Indie Roguelikes are all I seem to play at the moment, they're so addictive and fun to play.
Re: Three Games Are Confirmed For Xbox Game Pass This Week (September 8-10)
Royal Writ for me...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 5-6)
I'm playing a lot of Zombie Survivors and Soulstone Survivors at the moment, they are sooo addictive.
Re: These Eight Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass, Including A Call Of Duty (September 1-15)
I never played Cold War, so will definitely give that a go.
I really like the look and sound of Shelldiver too.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 29-30)
A bit late to the party, but I discovered a bit of a gem at the weekend, and if you're into games like Vampire Survivors or Brotato, then you'll love it. It's called 'Yet Another Zombie Survivors', and at £12.49, it's even sweeter.
Re: Here's A Look At 30 New GTA 6 Screenshots To Hype You Up After The Extended Preview
Mmm! Are those two the main characters? They look a bit forgettable.
Re: 'Literally Play It Forever' - Playground Games Confirms Fable Will Take 20 Hours To Beat
@FarmDog08 Same here. I put in 2-3 hours on most evenings whilst my partner watches her soaps on TV 😂
Re: Five New Xbox Games Are Releasing Today, Plus August's Final Game Pass Addition
@DarthNadroj I'm pretty sure a lot of gamers would be interested in these type of games, and that others aren't that interested in the games you mentioned.
Re: SEGA Randomly Announces Virtua Fighter For Xbox Game Pass In September
I'm really no good at fighting games. All those wacky button pressing combos you got to remember hurts my head and fingers. I did play Tekken and Soul Blade back in the day, but never played this. Might give it a go whilst it's on GP.

Re: Roundup: The First Hands-Off Previews Are Starting To Roll In For GTA 6
I don't get drawn into hype anymore, ahem! "Starfield".
I definitely don't pre-order anymore, ahem! "Starfield".
Games like GTA are fun for the first few hours, but the novelty soon wears off... for me anyway.
Re: Fable Looks Absolutely Incredible In New 18-Minute Quest Gameplay
Yall focused on the graphics and how amazing it looks, doesn't mean the game is going to be GOTY, it needs to be fun and have replayability. Graphics don't mean nothing.
Re: Rockstar Games Publishes Lengthy Statement On GTA 6 Leaks
Just out of curiosity, who leaks the videos? Is it someone on the team?
Re: Preview: Gears Of War: E-Day's Campaign Is Going To Be An Absolute Banger
@HonestHick Meh! I don't know about that. I'm currently playing Space Marine 2 and it looks and plays amazing.
Re: Poll: How Would You Grade Gamescom Opening Night Live 2026?
Some of the new titles did look visually impressive, just not my cup of tea.
Re: Poll: If You've Played It, What Do You Think Of The Modern Warfare 4 Beta So Far?
Not for me, I'm sticking with Battlefield, much more fun.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 22-23)
