Re: Xbox Announces Three New Series X|S Consoles Launching In 2024

Fortysixter

If you buy a current series X plus a 1tb expansion drive wouldn't that cost the same as the new 2 Tb model coming out for Christmas?

No real savings or deals to be had there at all.
Maybe it's just to refresh the stock lines and try to stir up more interest in the systems last couple of years. I suppose 2tb is more convenient that the stock 1tb. Maybe ...

Re: Remember Xbox All Access? Major UK Retailer Is Abandoning The Program This Month

GAMEs failure can only be down to mis- management of their business practices.
It's just a shame that the staff suffer.
As usual the suits suck the life out of a business

One of the most egregious things GAME was doing was charging £5 to deliver something to you. If you chose to collect it from the local store instead they still charged £5 then gave you a £5 GAME voucher upon collection.

They should revert to an online only business model and start discounting games like Hit.co.uk and Amazon.

Re: All Xbox Games With Mouse & Keyboard Support

Fortysixter

It seems to me that as mouse and keyboard can be so easily implemented on a games console it would be a good time to get WoW on Xbox and PS5. Possibly include it's sub price on with the current gamepass.

Plus theres a money spinner in making an exclusive WoW branded wireless mouse & keyboard that would work on consoles AND PC.

Re: Review: Starfield - Bethesda Serves Up Its Best RPG Yet In A Messy, Exciting And Emotional Space Odyssey

Fortysixter

Skyrim is Bethesda's best RPG to date....after that Oblivion and Fallout 3 hold second place with Fallout 4 holding the third position jointly with Starfield. I think it's a fairly safe bet another Starfield will not be made unless it's shrunk down in size to be as playable as Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout 3&4 and not a game about load screens !

My Starfield playthru stopped at new game plus 2 with 270 hours on the clock. I can't see myself going back to it.

Skyrim , a 13 year old game I have completed multiple times since release is now being played with a new character and I'm enjoying it more than I did Starfield !

Re: Ubisoft Delays Large-Scale Game, Reports Suggest It's Star Wars Outlaws

Fortysixter

It's probably not the star wars game as from the footage shown it looks to be fairly well along .
My only problem with the star wars game is I'm really not sold on the female lead. Here's hoping she's more appealing and interesting when we get to play the game.

That said I never liked the Cal Kestis character and those two games were bloody awful. It was like someone forgot to add a few ingredients into the mix like "fun" and " interesting" then decided to really screw up the star wars licence by making the games play like soulsbornes. Talk about screwing up. Remember these are the Devs that have us the excellent Titanfall games !!!

Re: A Bunch Of Great Xbox 360 Games Will Be Delisted Forever Next Year

@Fiendish-Beaver
To find those games will be a bit of work but here's the solution I think. If the xbox360 game is backwards compatible with xb1 or series X look up the official backwards compatible list for those consoles. There are 100s of titles listed on that document. I had the same issue but I found my elusive game ..."Ilo & Milo" a great puzzle platformer.

Or look up your console purchase history .

Buy them games you want to keep as a physical edition. Digital versions of anything are fleeting at best and can be taken from you at anytime. Get in ebat , Amazon etc etc and buy your games physical and second hand. Control the game market to the best of YOUR ability. Do not let distribution companies control YOU.

Re: Sniper Elite 5's New Xbox 'Complete Edition' Seems Mega Expensive

Fortysixter

Well I would imagine sales of that hugely expensive version of sniper elite game will TANK.

thankyou, thankyou no need for applause.

I like the sniper elite games but have never bought one full price as they ALWAYS seem expensive.

£20 is the price I aim for and I don't then mind if it's new or second hand at that price. Regards DLC. Don't lose any sleep over it. If the content is not in the standard edition then as far as I'm concerned it's not part of the game so will never get purchased anyway. The same goes for ALL DLC. DLC is a mugs game. Don't fall for it. Anyway over the next few weeks it's possible the vanilla edition of the game drop in price dramatically so keep your eyes open for that.
