Slay the spire registered 11 kills then stopped. Kept grinding for a while and nothing. Signed out and back in and started again. Registered the remaining kills and pinged. Just the god awful hunting game to do now...
Nooooooo! The rewards top 10 didn't track for me (all ticked but didn't give me the points.) This months bonus points need it to be completed. Just messaged MS support and got my fingers crossed.
Crashed into my local Morrisons. It looks like an abandoned warehouse that would be home to a serial killing nut job. If you knew my local Morrisons thats actually pretty accurate.
Clicked with trepidation. Not because of the quality of games but the usual comments after GWG announcement. Happy with games and that others are happy. I'm now off to go crash a plane several times while trying to look for places I know...
Planning on doing my Honey moon trip from Manchester to Maldives. Fly over my town. Show my son the flight to turkey we did our last holiday (seems like an eternity now.) Visit some landmarks. God never thought I would be this hyped about a simulator...
@SithThanos Ive tried 2 achievements so far in the list and not tracking (state of decay 2 and GTA V.) Punch card activated, achievement ticked but just not letting me have the points. Had the same for the 1000pt Res evil village punch card a while back and never got that sorted with ms customer services.
PES was always my go to game. Not having full licences never bothered me as it just played fantastically. Sadly I haven't touched PES for years now as it started to rapidly decline. FIFA I now tend to play on EA access (Game Pass) as all the in game purchases and for me doesn't feel much different each year. Shame as have great memories of beer filled evenings with me and my house mate hurling abuse at each other playing PES. One day someone will come up with a worthy challenger or Konami will wake up from its gaming coma.
I class myself as a gamer. I have no real allegiance to any company. I have a switch that I love and a series X I love. PS5 can wait not because I don't want one but because it hasn't got anything I want to play on it. I sold my PS4 for the same reasons. I have game pass and digital purchases on Xbox and love Nintendo first party stuff. That being said I honestly hate all "Communities". Following a direct you get all the scum coming out bashing Nintendo because that game they want isn't coming. The same with Xbox over E3 (Despite the strong showing and studios they now own.) My current gaming is on my Vita of all things. Put frobisher says on for a bit and hooked again. I just love video games full stop. That's the way it should be...
Bought on release boxed so kept it. Have played around 1 hour and Enjoyed it without glitches. No real time to play at moment and waiting for next gen update.
I've been enjoying it. Did jump out of a game to be attacked by folks trying to plunder my ship and someone trying to help me, me then scrambling about to find a head set realising my son had put them on his teddy upstairs. Anyway... Goosebumps when I hear Monkey Island theme. If Guybrush is in the game I would flip. We so need Microsoft to get double fine the rights!
I'm just swapping between my 8TB external and internal and it really isn't a chore or that time consuming. Will grab one eventually (missed out on a Facebook sealed one for £120 due to having to bloody isolate because of track and trace. Seller wouldn't post.)
Love the fact he is a gamer. Is happy to acknowledge good games even on other platforms. Without this man I wouldn't be able to play ori on the bog on my switch. Legend!
This has actually surprised me as never had an issue with both my controllers. Still get random black screens and rewards app is buggy as hell but no disconnected controllers.
@Chaudy Nice suggestions. Sadly gearbox will have my money for Wonderlands as well in Jan. Just too many great games hitting Game Pass though. Never been into flight Sims but Flight Simulator looks way too good not to. Just think how great this will be when all the studios start releasing all the games they are working on. Honestly E3 next year is going to be a beast for Microsoft!
@Chaudy I've been saving up for Back 4 Blood. As soon as it was announced for Game Pass I'm stuck now for what to get. Game Pass is an amazing bargain and my most anticipated games this year are coming out on it. I know that most games will leave but by that time they do, they have a nice discount physical or digital.
@JetmanUK If you Google you can get the Xbox windows app to do this again. I'm streaming my series X to my laptop when the TV is being used by the family. Works a treat.
I bloody love having my whole collection on one console. Just wish more were available. Also the reason I've kept a Wii U was backwards compatibility. Did love telling my friend who is a MASSIVE Sony fan boy how great Mad Max runs at 120fps and feels like a new game.
Never touched a flight sim in my life. Yet this is my most anticipated release this year. My aim is to do my honeymoon flight from Manchester airport to the Maldives. All while consuming my own body weight in food and drink like on my emirates flight. I miss normality so much. Bloody covid...
On my Xbox but today can't claim and points for achievements or the usual 5point YouTube. Also my weekly can't be claimed even though it's complete. Don't even mention the Red Evil Village bonus 250 that's refusing to track. Seems really glitchy at moment.
I would love it. As someone who is mainly a single player some nice story driven games will be great. Bit miffed that they are looking into making next bioshock open world. Love me a game with interesting story, gameplay and linear. Don't get me wrong love other types of game as well but with the amount of time I actually get to play now a days it's nice not to have an open world to get lost in for every game in my collection.
@Originut I'm exactly the same with 120fps. Don't know if it's because I'm old (being fat and balding doesn't affect your eyesight as well?) My wife still doesn't understand why I upgraded my TV to a 4K as she doesn't notice picture difference either. My son on the other hand noticed both FPS and picture difference almost instantly.

Re: Yep, Xbox Game Pass Is Getting Two OG Classics Next Week
This is cool but am also gutted as was hoping Blinx would be a GWG title to keep at some point. Would love it if they started releasing not BC games.

Re: Talking Point: Do You Want More 'Narrative-Adventure' Games Like The Last Of Us 2 On Xbox?

Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition's Performance Options Showcase Huge Xbox Series X Advantage
@Originut I'm exactly the same with 120fps. Don't know if it's because I'm old (being fat and balding doesn't affect your eyesight as well?)
