Game is an absolute nailed on 8/10 for me Gameplay is fun and engaging. The world they’ve created is sublime and engrossing. Why this got low reviews in some quarters is beyond me.
I’ve just started playing through the campaign again after the next gen update for the Series X.
The game looks truly phenomenal and is an absolute joy to play through again.
Sometimes (once I’ve cleared the demons) I look around the area and marvel at the graphics and the ray tracing.
ID have done an amazing job and that’s great news to hear they’re still supporting the game going forward still.
@John117 Thanks for the information. Does sound intriguing. I think I’ll watch the reviews when it comes out and see if I might enjoy it. Happy flying!
@John117 Can I ask what you actually do in this game? What’s the point etc? I’m not being funny. I’ve just never played a flight simulator previously and just so just wondering if this game would be for me or not.
Bought it very shortly after launch day. I’d always had Nintendo’s up to that point but the moment I saw Halo I was simply amazed. I had to have it. I brought it home and set it up and lived with a couple of other lads in there 20’s (who were PlayStation lads) and they couldn’t believe how superb Halo was. I do recall some Micky taking about the size of the original humongous controller! If anyone’s bought it early on they’ll know this was very quickly downsized!
I bought the series X day one. Wish I hadn’t bothered. No proper next Gen games at all yet and none on the horizon. I really don’t care about gamepass as I don’t have time to play all those games and I don’t care that old games are given polish with 60fps. I just want proper next gen games on my x box. My PS5 has far more use and will continue to do so.
I subscribed by accident.....genuinely....
This is what happens when you get into your 40’s kids!
It’s been great though and I’ve got to play various games I’d have never have tried if I hadn’t subscribed by accident. 👍
So Mine is as delivered this morning and I’ve managed to play an hour or so with it on. I’m impressed on first impressions. Sounds great for a £90 headset (I was using Astro A50 when I had a one x) and they were 2.5 times in price what these are. Love having full wireless. Very comfortable and atm no complaints at all. I don’t notice any lag at all so not sure hey people are saying that. Horses for courses I guess My recommendation is to buy them if you get a chance.
Preordered mine a month ago from Microsoft and my money went out a week ago.
Hasn’t arrived on release day and no word of it’s been posted.
Oh well I’ll just sit tight but looking forward to getting my ears on it
Seems as though it’s going to be sometime away still but that’s ok. Thoroughly enjoyed dying light and I don’t usually like zombie games. The tension at night trying to get back to your base was superb. Didn’t play the dlc and think I missed out tbh
Preordered mine as soon as they were announced as my previously excellent A50’s are defunct with the series X due to their being no optical port (thanks for the by the way Microsoft) I hope they live up to expectations
Sold to the man with a series X and no Headset as my previous excellent headset doesn’t work with it as there’s no optical port.... Looking forward to these 😁
Just give me a controller that doesn’t disconnect and I’ll be happy Only happens when I use my rechargeable battery so I am going through a fair few double A’s until the issue is fixed
I was absolutely addicted to Banjo when it hit the N64 in 1998.
By the time the follow up came out I’d gotten a serious job and gaming took a back seat so I wasn’t able to play it.
However if they made a 3rd game I’d be stoked.
Even if they made rye first one again with updated graphics would be amazing for me tbh.

Re: Hands On: The Ascent - A Gritty Cyberpunk Action-RPG Shooter That Will Keep You Coming Back
Getting really mixed reviews across the board.
I’ve seen a 6, 7, 8 and a 9.
I’m sure it’ll be fun…maybe not quite the classic we were all hoping for.

You don’t need to have played any previous games to play this.
Well worth your time

Re: Review: Resident Evil Village - An Action-Centric Follow-Up That Can't Quite Hit The Highs Of Its Predecessor
Most other reviews are giving this 9/10 so I’d take this one with a pinch of salt if you’re thinking of buying it.

Glad it’s next gen only tbh.
Re: Game Pass Gems: Now Is The Perfect Time To Revisit Resident Evil 7
I’ll be honest. It’s likely to give me a heart attack playing this game so I’ll have to pass unfortunately.....

It’s happening!
Banjo Kazooie 3!!!!!!!
you heard it here first
Re: Industry Reporter Claims Fable, Perfect Dark & Everwild Are 'So Far Away'
A real shame tbh but I’ve more than enough to get on with.
Was at least hoping Fable would be in the next 12 months or so.
Oh well. 😊

Thoroughly enjoyed dying light and I don’t usually like zombie games.

Re: Blizzard Has Enhanced Overwatch For Xbox Series X|S

Maybe time to reinstall it and see it with a new coat of paint.

Fable is the one I’m waiting for too.
My expectations are very high so I hope whenever we see the full reveal we’re not disappointed.
Re: Pick One: Which Of These Xbox Game Pass Racers Is Your Favourite?
Downloaded Dirt 5 for the series x
Can’t believe this is considered next generation gaming.
Horrible graphics
Just my opinion obviously

Re: Cyberpunk 2077's Biggest Patch Yet Has Been Delayed Until Late March
Utter shambles.
They lost my money when all the poor reviews came out.
If the next gen reviews are amazing then maybe but I doubt they will be

Re: Talking Point: Which Xbox Console (& Game) Was Your First Love?

It didn’t disappoint. It was an amazing experience
