Re: Talking Point: Are You Happy With Xbox Game Pass Ultimate In 2026?

GiooiG

I was on Ultimate up to mid February this year then switched to essential. I don't really get the full benefits of the gamepass games. It's usually the base game you get without any dlc. I do game a lot but with life etc & other interests & commitments there's no way i could play all the games on gamepass to make it worthwhile. I buy the games i like & i have a series X & Switch 2 & the games i play are time sink games so i wasn't even touching most of the gamepass games.
It wasn't too bad, i kept ultimate going out of laziness / convenience but when the prices increased that killed it for me. It's probably worth it for people who can rush through many games especially with the great games that have come out on gamepass recently but i don't play that way.
It's a shame because recentli a lot of gamepass users have not re subscribed or have dropped tiers. Microsoft threw all their eggs in the Gamepass basket but it's looking less & less sustainable as time goes by. Lets see what microsoft do next because they must have all the data.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 2-3)

Starfield of course. Got the deluxe edition of the game for £74 from CD Keys as i want to own the game even though i have gamepass. I Don't mind buying Bethesda games as i get mega value out of them when you consider the time played on them. It's worked out well because i have free time to play it on early access but would be too busy on release day.
May also nip on TOTK on Switch as i feel guilty for not playing it since Starfield came out.

Re: Hands On: Resident Evil 4's 'Chainsaw Demo' Has Us Wanting More

Loving the demo so far, just got chain sawed in the village. I've loved this game from Gamecube and everything else to series x. I still have the RE4 gamecube chainsaw controller.
I admit i always struggle with the controls initially when i replay the original now (except the Wii version with the motion aiming. Wish they had included that in the Switch version. ) But this remaster feels good so far. Just wish the knife didn't wear down.
Roll on March 24th
