@Mustoe I don't want to buy the game because I'm not a fan of the game. Why would I buy something I won't play? I just said I wanted to try it. Not play it. When I say try, I mean like just walk around London and see how it looks, then uninstall.
I'm not a console gamer. I switched to PC. I bought every game I play or have played. I've also bought all the gamepass games I've played and enjoyed. Like I bought ni no kuni 2 and scarlet nexus on steam after playing it on gamepass.
@HonestHick I played on my phone. With mobile data. Ping is high. But I don't lag much. Sometimes I do. But sometimes I have a good connection, and haven't noticed any lag.
Think it has 3 more years left and Nintendo hasn't even announced their next console yet. Nintendo probably aiming to compete with the next gen xbox and playstation. Or maybe xbox and playstation will have a pro version in a couple years from now and then we might have a longer generation for this console generation.
@rustyduck i didn't know there was a limit, but I've never played a game longer than 8 hours straight. I'd at least take short breaks before getting back to it. Is the 8 hours the daily limit or just when you get kicked off and able to rejoin again?
@OldGamer999 there is a short loading, but not 5 minutes. It's like 10-20 seconds or so for me and I use mobile internet. I've played a few games on the cloud. Never had to wait 5 minutes. If it does takes more than a minute, then there's probably a connection issue. But when my internet is working fine, then the game loads quick.
@rustyduck geforce now is free, that's why you get queues and see ads and possibly a time limit. But if you pay, there's no queues and I don't think it has a time limit, not sure tho.
The queues were very long for free users before they added ads, but after they've added the ads, queues were really short, like you'd be 4th place , if you watch a couple ads.
I have game pass on pc. And the xbox app on there is just terrible. Won't even let me play cloud games because I don't have a supported controller. But on the website it says it's supported for the fire stick, why not for the PC?
@HeavyHoggJP you mentioned food. I only said it's important to buy food more than to pay for a subscription. Even if you cook, you still have to buy the ingredients.
Well at least now you get online with it. So that's good. But these prices aren't really worth it. I think cloud gaming should have it's own tier, where it's just cloud only and it's only £5 a month hehe.
@BAMozzy just so you know, armoury crate comes with new Asus motherboards, too. Can't use a controller on them tho, but it shows you a full list of installed games in large block icons. Same as the geforce experience app, but the old version had them as block icons, the new version shows them as a list, with graphics settings next to it. So you could adjust the graphics settings for each game without having to launch it. The gog app also does this, but only if you link your accounts from other platforms like ubisoft, epic games and such. It has the option to link the steam as well, but for some reason it fails for me.
The xbox hardware will always be bad for me. But I'll check out what games they can bring in the future. The showcase was good, but I only liked the third party games shown. There are no first party games I'm attracted to.
I might consider getting gamepass again, but last time I had it, my ps5 controller on PC gamepass wasn't recognised. Which put me off from renewing. Steam is just way better with controller support.
If people on fire tv are only going to play cloud gaming, then I think the game pass ultimate might be overpaying. They should make a tier for cloud gaming only.
I don't think what they said means there was an exclusivity deal. To me it seems like they were asked if there was an exclusivity deal and they replied by saying they can't comment on that.
Wait, I'm confused. I thought DLCs are only available for purchase once it's out. Never knew you could buy them before, unless it's in an expansion pass or something. But why buy a DLC before it's released?
They don't make games I like, so I don't care. I'm happy with what I saw at the showcase. Every game looked good. Even tho I'm only interested in playing 1 or 2 games from that showcase.
There wasn't any gameplay for the game, so I doubt it will be ready for next year. Maybe 2026 would be more likely. Unless it's a easy to make game, coz who am I to say, I don't know how long it takes to make these big games.
I'm not looking to buy another xbox. Buying the series x was a mistake. I sold it for £150 lol. No more consoles for me, but might consider a handheld, if I can play my PC library also.
@REAVERZINE keep an eye out for sales. In UK where price is £480 for series x, I've seen price drop way below £400. I think it might have been £350 or maybe closer to £300. Same with PS5, they've been going on sale quite frequently.

Re: Fallout: London Is So Good, Some People Think It's The 'Best Game Since New Vegas'
@BowsersBuddy yeah they said that the gamepass version isn't supported. So you would need the full game on either gog or steam.

Re: Fallout: London Is So Good, Some People Think It's The 'Best Game Since New Vegas'
@Mustoe yeah but you need to buy the full game to use the mod. And I don't want to buy that game.
Re: Fallout: London Is So Good, Some People Think It's The 'Best Game Since New Vegas'
I don't plan on buying the game. But if it gets added to gamepass, I'd like to check it out.

@MjJmediablogger thank you will try that. Does it work with any gamepass game or does it have to be a game you own on xbox?
