@Fenbops sorry my bad - by going back to basics, I meant go back to the drawing board, go back to what made Halo work in the first place and the like 🙂
Gotta be Veilguard for me....Yeah its not the masterpiece Origins is, but 50hrs in, I can honestly say there's been no complaints rendering the amount of hate it received being completely unjustified 🙂
It looks fine I suppose, I just hope the baddies aren't as terrible as last time...I'm not asking for a copy/paste of Handsome Jack - Just something I enjoy hating, rather than just hating 🙂
Four years old, and only £50 off from the £480rrp?? I'm sorry but at this point during the 360 reign, you could pick up a used console for £50...Yet the Series consoles - even with Black Friday - the absolute best is around £300...I know inflation has done a lot of heavy lifting here, but this really isn't good enough 🙂
Well the deals have been underwhelming: Obsidian, Bethesda and ActiBlizz just really haven't done anything yet (at least worthwhile)...We're still getting screwed on timed exclusives (seriously, why do they even still exist) ...In all honesty - at mid point - pretty disappointing....Still, at least MS didn't try flogging us an overpriced graphics upgrade, so there's that 🙂
So is Spencer still head honcho or is Duncan?? - I think we can all agree Phil's decisions as of late haven't exactly been for the players....I know that's Playstations slogan, but even so 😕
Not once have I been able to advance beyond easy mode on Dragon Age without getting annihilated (same for BG3 as it goes)....hopefully this time everything will turn out tickety boo 🙂
Ya know I actually quite enjoyed the Scarface game - Trouble was, Vice City was still pretty new therefore rendering SF quite redundant...I reckon fresh graphics, tweak the gameplay and I reckon it should be a blast 🙂
@Markatron84 to be fair gaming was still pretty much in its infancy back then - not to mention still in recovery from the industry strike of 1983...These days you'd think there was more money and talent to throw into a game 🤔
Back in the early 90s when I was about 5 or 6, I remember playing sonic on my Master System (I wanted a mega drive but alas that had to wait a few years 🙄) and I remember feeling quite charmed by it...So how is it, kids games from 30+ yrs can get it right, yet modern games, you get pig awful stuff like this?? 🙂
So im confused....if this game is supposed to be set between Empire and Jedi - How can the Tatooine Saarlac be dead here, yet alive when Jabba takes the gang to to the pit after Hans' rescue?? 🤔
Sure, The Crew may appear to be what I'd like to call a "seat warmer", but I can't imagine many folk will want to pay for an inferior product when they can get the better option for free...well, excluding the GPU sub, but ya get the gist 🙂
Is it too much to ask for something Star Wars related to actually be great anymore?? Who'd have thought the prequel series (as well as Rogue One) was the last time Star Wars gave us something to be proud of 😐
Ive no idea how or why the term "boomer shooter" was coined, but I'd take the likes of Quake, Doom, Unreal Tournament etc over whatever new shooter any day 🙂
Imho I thought Starfield was quite the let down (maybe I'll go back to it one day, I don't know) - but pound to a penny these grievances are coming from nasty little Sony fan boys/girls who've obviously nothing better to do 🙂
@Deano_YTFC damn, was it that long ago 🙄 I can't remember which character was my favourite, but I do remember you had collect all those disks before fighting the big baddy 🙂

Re: Microsoft Rewards Is Practically Giving Away Six Big Movies Right Now
@Kaloudz I've got rather a soft spot for the Hobbit trilogy too - But better than Two Towers and RotK?? You must be joking 🙂
Re: GTA 6 Unlikely To Run At 60FPS On Xbox, Says Former Rockstar Dev
Wasn't it reported that it cost $2bn to make, and it can't reach 60fps?? Personally, so long as it plays fine, i'm happy, but even so 🤔🙂
Re: Xbox Appears To Have Mistakenly Teased World Of Warcraft For Console
So apparently, WoW only gets its full potential if playing with friends....And since I don't have any, this news bears no merit whatsoever 😒😄

Re: Xbox Fan Highlights 'Biggest Gripe' With Star Wars Outlaws Which You Can Easily Fix
I don't think i'm alone here, but i've always considered X as the 'action' button - So bit of a whoopsi from Ubisoft there 🙂
Re: 'The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria' Makes Its Xbox Debut Later This Month
Sadly not worth the wait or the "best since the Shadow series" we were hoping for...4/10 I seem to remember Push Square giving it 😐
Re: It's Official! Call Of Duty: MW3 Joins Xbox Game Pass This Wednesday
Shame its arguably one of the worst CoDs on record...Be a lot better if we got the original MW3 tbh 🙂
Re: Here's 10 Minutes Of New Gameplay From Ubisoft's Open World Star Wars Outlaws
So im confused....if this game is supposed to be set between Empire and Jedi - How can the Tatooine Saarlac be dead here, yet alive when Jabba takes the gang to to the pit after Hans' rescue?? 🤔
Re: Flintlock: The Siege Of Dawn Is Now Available To Preload On Xbox Game Pass
@Sol4ris i think the only people that have that issue, are our friends over in the blue corner (the Sony lot in other words)🙂
Re: Flintlock: The Siege Of Dawn Is Now Available To Preload On Xbox Game Pass
@GeeEssEff @Sol4ris facetiousness is very unbecoming 😄
Re: Flintlock: The Siege Of Dawn Is Now Available To Preload On Xbox Game Pass
@GeeEssEff In that case at least we get it for free 😊
Re: Flintlock: The Siege Of Dawn Is Now Available To Preload On Xbox Game Pass
I'm hoping if Flintlock does the business, it'll be quite the kick in the teeth for Sony, considering the similarities to Forspoken 🙂
Re: Forza Horizon Fans, The Crew Motorfest Could Be Well Worth Checking Out Later This Year
Sure, The Crew may appear to be what I'd like to call a "seat warmer", but I can't imagine many folk will want to pay for an inferior product when they can get the better option for free...well, excluding the GPU sub, but ya get the gist 🙂

Re: Red Dead Is Now 20 Years Old, So We Played The Xbox Original For The Very First Time
I think there was a game called GUN that came out roughly the same time - Vastly more superior to Revolver imo 🙂
Re: Starfield's Biggest Update Yet Is Bringing Major New Features To Xbox This Month
Day 1 - After barely an hour I thought this had to be one of the biggest letdowns in gaming (and that's going up against BioShock Infinite)
8 months later - Maybe I was a bit hasty; now we've had a good few updates, maybe give it a second chance 🤔🙂
Re: Poll: Star Wars Fans, What Do You Think Of The Battlefront Classic Collection?
Is it too much to ask for something Star Wars related to actually be great anymore?? Who'd have thought the prequel series (as well as Rogue One) was the last time Star Wars gave us something to be proud of 😐
Re: Phil Spencer Would Like To See Other Digital Storefronts Appear On Xbox
Might have thought the most obvious people will want is Steam 🤔🙂
Re: Talking Point: The Elder Scrolls Is Now 30 Years Old As We Await Xbox's First Series Entry

Re: Review: Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun (Xbox) - Slick Space Marine Shooting Stomps Onto Game Pass

Re: Review: Skull & Bones - Solid Combat Saves The Day In Ubisoft's Middling Pirate Playground

Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League So Far?
@BBB tbh I was trying to avoid mentioning spoilers - but his death scene; insulting is putting it politely 🙂
Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League So Far?
@BBB considering Batman's treatment in-game, that commemoration is rather too little too late 😕
Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League So Far?
The treatment of Kevin Conroy's Batman alone, just tells me to stay away from this like the plague 😔
Re: Xbox 'Lunar New Year' Sale 2024 Now Live, 700+ Games Discounted
@PhileasFragg CD Keys have it for £45 - doubt we'll see it on the MS store for a while, so reckon that's the best you'll find at the moment 🙂
Re: Five Years On, Batman: Arkham Collection Is Dominating The Xbox Charts Once Again
As unmistakably phenomenal those three games are - I am rather disappointed Rocksteady didn't include a Ng+ for Asylum 🙂
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Gets First Xbox Update Of 2024, Here Are The Patch Notes
@Martsmall Even so - think it's better safe than sorry to just keep clear of that one 🙂
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Gets First Xbox Update Of 2024, Here Are The Patch Notes
@Martsmall think iv seen that on the allkeys store...sadly I think that one restricts access if you're in the UK 🙄
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Gets First Xbox Update Of 2024, Here Are The Patch Notes
That's fabulous news - as it happens I've been seeing BG3 for about £35 on a few keys stores... hopefully not too long before I can pick it up 🙂

Re: Starfield Dev Calls Out 'Unreasonable' Criticism From Some People On Social Media

Re: Xbox Series X|S Gets Huge UK Sales Boost Thanks To Black Friday 2023
Amazing what happens when you make a generous price cut to the consoles...Albeit a temporary one 🙂
