Xbox 360 Elite. Bought as a bundle with PGR4, Halo 3 and a game I'd never heard of - Assassins Creed. The latter went on to be one of my favourite franchises
Installed on my X1X to see what the quality was like. Oh boy, I've got used to the XSX (non) load times! It seemed to take forever to load up on X1X I know. Real world problems and all that HAHA
I've just started playing PGA 2K23 (cos it was cheap). Haven't played a golf game since Rory McIlroy. I think I may have to look out for a good deal on PGA Masters as I prefer the EA gameplay.
EDIT: Found the free trial now..installing to compare.
I bought an XSX to play Hogwarts Legacy! Also bought the deluxe digital version so I could play on X1, but I've already completed first play through before it's even out on X1.
GWG has pretty much died since GP. I rarely even bother downloading them. Peaky Blinders is an awesome TV show, so I'll give this a spin and see where it goes.
Hogwarts Legacy has been on since 7th Feb! Every spare minute either me or the Wife are exploring. This game exceeds expectations and the map is huge! The amount of detail is incredible. Even the little touches like suits of armour having a fight - for no reason! Absolutely loving it!
That looks impressive...most impressive I got first Jedi game with my X1X and enjoyed it. Will probably get this for my XSX, but maybe not on release. If the Wife is reading this, my birthday is not too long after April
What setting is everyone playing on? I changed mine up to Fidelity with Raytracing last night. No glitches showing so far. Such a good game. I keep getting distracted by the scenery LOL
Stayed up to play at midnight and managed just under an hour before I had to go to bed. It looks awesome. I'd assumed sorting ceremony would be in first few minutes of playing....nope! 45 mins in! Going to explore as soon as the intro steps are done.
Hogwarts Deluxe Digital pre-ordered (trying to ignore the price LOL). Could be the second game we've ever played at midnight. If my Boss is reading this, I'm...errrr....not well on the 7th/8th/9th....
@SplooshDmg Same here fella. My Wife hasn't played xbox since AC Syndicate, but as soon as this was announced, I knew I'd be buying it. Just to get some time myself, I've just bought an XSX and the deluxe digital version of the game so we can (hopefully) play on both consoles at the same time.
Loved this on N64. Mixed feelings about it now. As others said, it was great...back then. Games have moved on so much since those days. I'll still load it up though..if only for the memories.
Got back into FH5 (when time allows). Trying to pick up some of the achievements I'm close to completing. Dropped 5mil Cr on a castle today..oof! Need to build up Cr again now LOL
@shoeses Ah. If you've recently started playing the game, it may need you to play a bit longer. I've been playing this some some time now and no tabs are grey.
Only game I wanted was Sniper Elite 5, so I got Gold and upgraded it to gamepass for less than the cost of the game itself. Got a couple of games planned for 2023 though...Hogwarts and Assassins Creed

Re: Terminator: Resistance - Complete Edition Launches On Xbox Series X|S This October
Hmm. I've got the disc version somewhere. Must load this back up for a playthrough. I think it got 'parked' when something better came out

Re: Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Remake Supposedly In Development At Ubisoft
I love most AC games, but this seems a bit pointless. If I recall, it was already released for 360 then again for X1?
Re: Deals: Xbox 'Next-Gen' Sale Now Live, 300+ Games Discounted This Week (May 9-16)
Disappointing (again) to see price in USD is exactly the same in GBP - eg PGA Tour is $41.99 and £41.99 despite exchange rate.

Re: Talking Point: Show Of Hands, Who's Still Waiting For Hogwarts Legacy On Xbox One?

For someone that wanted "privacy", he's certainly appearing in MANY places!
Re: Talking Point: Are Games Announced Too Far In Advance?
Announce it whenever, but fix the bloody game before releasing it....and stop working on DLC before the main game is even released.
