Is there a dark section in the back of the store possibly with beads hanging from the door frame? A blackmail update could be added if that's the case haha
Not surprising considering the games released last year Indy ,doom dark ages ,south of midnight,Forza and gears on playstation,keeper! I'm sure I've missed a couple aswell it's very easy to see why Microsoft is ranked so high on the list.
I think this will be a massive flop when it drops unless its about 40 quid playstation gamers aren't going to be killing themselves just to play a halo campaign that's decades old with no multiplayer and us Xbox players have had like 4 different versions of this exact game over the years! Not hyped at all for this unfortunately!
I guess it's good for people who play a lot on different consoles with there profile.
With all these updates for the consoles coming lately I don't think I'm crazy in thinking that the snap feature could be revived??
We need some more proper goes of the GTA game type nowadays I'm sure someone could do a decent of it in this day and age!
The true crime games where very good fun back in the day!
I mean snoop dogg was unlockable and playable in one of these games and everyone loves Snoop Dogg!
Very nice unfortunately I'm stuck using the rare anniversary one for the foreseeable future as my daughter likes to see the "cartoons" and goes mad if I ever change it!
I'm going to give infinite wealth a go it looks fun and because it's turn based it should be relaxing enough to play! I'm playing through a lot of the resident evil series at the moment but I'm sure I can squeeze this in aswell somehow!
I'd say it will be a detachable disc drive you can purchase separately I'd say the chances of the console launching with a built in disc drive are slim to none!
Very very nice do a deal like this for the series x Galaxy edition in June and I could be very tempted to pick it up! I could sell my daughter's series s and give her my current series x!
First off happy weekend all! I'll be playing space marines 2 I'm loving the game so far especially how they call each other brother! It's like a load of hulkamaniacs in power armor very cool In my mind. I'll also play a little resident evil 4 and eafc 25!
The remaster was very good obviously there's some technical issues but it's definitely not as bad as some would have you think it's very playable.
But after a while the bells a whistles wear off and it's basically the same game as before.
Granted I completed the original top to bottom aswell.
But it's great for new players I'd say playing this fresh no experience of the older version would be great!
But I voted Skyrim I mean that game is unreal I put weeks into that game I beat the Ebony warrior and legendary dragon and had multiple playthroughs on different versions it's an all time great!
@betterthings Yeah it will probably need a couple updates to work as truly intended but I think It sounds in theory anyway like a handy feature that could be very useful. I'll definitely give it a go when it comes to the consoles.
@FraserG That's not good I was hoping it would be handy and fast to use it will be literally useless if it's easier to just take out your phone and search for something real quick. I was hoping it would be good for resident evil games to get a puzzle solution or safe code super quick I guess it will be another useless app for now at least unfortunately 😞
Can't wait to see how it works in action hopefully it's useful to use and not just another feature useless to me ha. Exciting times ahead as AI continues to evolve!
Looks like people need to just accept that others have different opinions and views on things here without getting effected it's gone very volatile over here lately!
For my money there is an Xbox tax no doubt in my mind on that and it's not console warring to say that!
We will soon see how Starfield is received on playstation I'm sure it will go down better than on Xbox for multiple reasons.
@TrevorP86 To be honest up till recently I've given this game nothing but crap but in hindsight it's a decent game but if you go in expecting a fallout or elder scrolls experience you will be disappointed unfortunately.
I'd say it's going to do very well over on playstation and to be honest it's an ok game.
I'm currently playing through cyberpunk and I enjoyed starfield so much more and cyberpunk is loved and lauded by many!
The price is also very good on playstation.
@BacklogBrad You are right it is a good machine but that E3 launch was very different to the actual Xbox one that was launched. It was a disaster! There was even playstation videos in that E3 making fun of it's game sharing feature. And then tone deaf Don saying if you want to have an Xbox that plays games offline buy a 360! What a smug condescending tosser!
The difference is now they are starting to actually care about there console platforms again and the experience on consoles for gamers where as before they didn't really care at all because everything was an Xbox!
Which we now know and back then in fairness that was total nonsense!
Keep it up bring back the snap feature or like how you can click on an achievement for help it brings you to true achievements maybe there could be links to YouTube videos as well and snap YouTube on screen while your playing that would be nice and very possible to implement!
@Fiendish-Beaver Yeah I'd be quite annoyed by that aswell no doubt haha Sure as much as they stress us out and give us grief we would be lost without them in reality ha But those shark cards man are evil I've had a few friends who's kids have spent a lot of money on those without permission and back then at least they were non refundable as they are an in-game consumable and they spent the in-game money anyways haha
@Fiendish-Beaver Thanks so much for the info mate.
Yeah it says it could take up to 5 working days to return the money she bought it at 8:01 pm last night and i got confirmation at 8:10pm by email the refund was approved the game is gone off my ownedbgames list and the reward points i got for the purchase are gone now aswell.
I might just leave it till Monday and call up then if the money hasn't been returned by then.
I mean eafc 26 for 100quid I couldn't believe it and she was a pain in the backside all day before that anyway bloody kids I swear.
Anyways thanks again my friend for the info very much appreciated your a top dude👏
@StylesT I 100% agree with you people can hate AI all they want but the visuals are clearly better a blind man would even see that!

My and my mate waited out at ps2 launch night and got the console day one and got interviewed and our pics in the magazine!
I lost the copy years ago probably while moving home wish I still had it!
@Fiendish-Beaver Hey dude this is a bit of topic but I think I remember seeing before you got refunds off the Xbox store I had to get one last night my daughter bought a 100 quid version of eafc 26 by accident I could of killed her!!
I sent a refund request in it was accepted but I just want to know did you have to wait long for the refund to be put on your card??
Also did you need to call them up or did the refund go through without having to contact them on the phone??
Any info you could give me would be very much appreciated.
@chesheer Yup the quick resume can effect performance I've experienced that especially on the series s it's very noticeable not so much on the series x but I'm sure it just not as extreme on the bigger guy most likely because it has more memory.
I mean I always just took any games that where on quick resume off it so I don't think this update will improve much for me but I'm glad it's of use to others. More interested in creating a unique colour for my notifications and that ha
I seen the digital foundry video on this and it's amazing!! It makes starfield the new resident evil and assassins creed Shadows look like high quality CGI from a movie on current gen games! I know some people literally hate it due to AI but I think it looks amazing!!
