May end up getting it at some point but I got rather bored of 5 after about 30 hours and ended up back on GT. hopefully there’s a physical as I’m done with digital rip offs. we will see
If the gunplay is top tier Bungie should be decent. I’m more of a single player gamer but since Helldivers 2 I’m actually interested more and more with MP
@IssaBrvndo the guy I get my PS1 games from on eBay has a very good condition copy right now. £150 odd I think . Chillout games.co.uk is his website or find him on eBay. Best seller around and does all platforms too. If they remake that I would lose it literally lol
@HonestHick I would argue that on first party games it’s excellent. Just come from Spider-Man 2 to forbidden west and the graphics are astonishing. But yeah shadows also top draw the rtgi changes the game entirely
@IssaBrvndo it’s excellent and rebirth is even better 🎉🎉🎉. On the legend of dragoon thing I have original copies of both mint condition in my collection. LOD is going for 150 sheets these days
I liked that car game on the first Xbox. Used to play it at a mates house. Can’t remember what it’s called for the life of me but the car looked like the back to the future Delorean and you used to trash the place lol gonna try remember it without googling 😂
If you only want third party (which includes MS games now because they are) and are happy renting your games the. Xbox is a good place to play. If no then it’s PS
From a PS perspective I’d look forward too fable probably. I thought Horizon 5 got a bit boring tbh and I’ve never heard of beast reincarnation. Will the surprise be something from Bethesda? Fallout 3 remake ?
Cloud gaming is rubbish. Majority of homes in the world have mediocre internet connections at best. I live in the UK a fairly well off country and mine is up and down like a yo-yo making cloud gaming a non-viable way to game. Back to the drawing board MS
@themightyant we’ll have to agree to disagree on this one then. It’s more just multiplayer and it’s hardly a store either. It just has money packs to buy, no battle passes or cosmetics . It’s even less than AC shadows for example and that isn’t live service either imo
@themightyant I’m not sure GT7bis live service 💁. Just because it’s always online or has a multiplayer mode doesn’t make it live service. Fortnite/Diabloiv are my idea of live service. Constantly changing and evolving whereas GT just gets new cars added every other month and has multiplayer racing
Gran Turismo 7 is a superbly accessible racing sim. My only wish is that sport mode was fleshed out a bit more. I’d love to see full race weekend events in sport mode including practice/qualy/race just like they’ve added into the single player with the power pack dlc. I get it would slow down the flow of races online but just add it as another option to choose while leaving the current daily’s in place for people who want quicker events. If they did that it would be the complete package for me. Also the amount of people streaming GT to YouTube these days is insane. Props to Rory Alexander, superGT, sammysnake and ofc Tinyturnip 😉
@SuntannedDuck2 well I somehow stuck with it and got the 100% on trophies only took me an added 120 hours on top 😂. Chicken dinner was a nightmare took me over 50 attempts to win a BR. For me personally GT7 is exceptional and probably my favourite racing game since GT5 (with 5 being the first with online multiplayer it changed the game from racing against boring ai to real people). 7 is the only game to have survived on my ssd since i brought it. Doubt I’ll be getting the next Horizon. Wreckfest 2 is looking like my next racing fix outside of GT7
@Fiendish-Beaver @Titntin hear hear mate . Appreciate that fella! You hear a lot these days about how many people are living off the state and trying to con the systems but sometimes forget there are actual real people who need and deserve that help, annoyed with myself for assuming that conclusion🙈. I just wish it was given to the correct people all the time like yourself. Peace brother ✌🏻
@Fiendish-Beaver oh mate that’s terrible I apologise for even asking that question. 🙈. I guess gaming is an escape for you then mate. Hope you keep well and happy. Personally I’d love to game for those hours of the day but certainly in different circumstances. I’ve always admired what the police have to do and without them the place would go even more to the dogs than it already has. Keep enjoying you’re gaming pal 👌🏻
@andrewsqual apparently there are 2 unobtainable certificates which were supposed to be added post release and never were so even Xbox players never got 100–% achievements. Very strange how they've got away with that
