Aldi had some official Xbox mugs awhile back. About £4-£5 I think. Liked using it but a load of crap. Cracked for no reason with normal use.

Finally let game pass ultimate lapse to get bog standard 3 month game pass core instead. Was no fun playing games to get achievements for more reward points to put towards free/almost free ultimate. Also was getting the gift card money instead because I've had issues where codes didn't work getting the subscription itself with reward points. Going to see if 3 months of point stacking gets me enough for a £20 gift card.

I'm debating on wether to get this now or in a few weeks because at the moment whenever I treat myself one of my dogs suddenly need to visit the vets. One was limping on and off since last bank holiday but seems to be better now, and she hurt the same leg the bank holiday before that jumping off the settee. Leaning more towards buy and let's see because I want to play it but don't want to suddenly end up skint. The joys of having dogs😥

I've known that for years. Think I found it when holding the wrong button to lob a grenade. I thought everyone knew it.

He needs to shut that booty hole he calls a mouth.

Well at least you know you're safe if you work on making more controller designs.

The only difference I've noticed is the graphics look slightly less "messy" with performance mode off. Took zooming in and out on some mouldy food in the inventory to notice the difference lol.

Quality mode does do something. Can't explain it but it looks flat in performance mode. I picked up some mouldy food and in performance mode if you zoom in and out on it in the inventory it looks jagged, but in quality mode it looks cleaner. I'm on Series S.

Fina-effing-lly. Haven't touched the Xbox One version since someone on the forums said something about ownership of assets or something like that meaning consoles wouldn't be updated anymore. Can't wait.

@Nintendo4Sonic I don't mind the dpad. Just hate how clicky it is. Always preferred Xbox One controllers, especially that nice blue one. Would be nice if they made another with the usb c socket.

Indie games like Castleminer Warfare or Avatar Miner Paintball. Also games like Xenominer and Mount Your Friends. I miss the cheap indie games. Some were fun.

Dead Island 2!!!

looks at available storage space

.......☹

Played it. Fun game.

@InterceptorAlpha They probably could do that easily. Been a few times where I've accidentally pressed that damn share button while on Sea of Thieves insider. A message pops up saying this content can't be shared or something like that.

Xbox indies with online multiplayer and avatars. Miss games like avatar miner paintball, Castleminer Warfare, and a game called Avatar Dairansen which was like Dragonball Z with destructable player made stages.

Imagine if Phil just says "Join us in February for a special showcase" similar to when they shadow dropped Hifi Rush then just walks off stage with no first party games shown at the awards.

I thought I could smell what they were saying, then I realised my dog just vomited because a neighbour gave her a chicken foot.

It might be to increase player engagement on PS5. I'm pulling this from my 🍑

@InterceptorAlpha How do you check log in attempts?

I love Starfield but for some reason it nearly always makes me tired when I play it. It's the reason why my save is days because I end up pausing it to take a break. I can't really explain it. I still need to actually buy it but for now I'm happy with Game Pass and owning the dlc through early access.

I'm just logging in to say congrats to Bond and Booty (lol), and to ask wtf poopoopeepee said (seriously that name tf?)

Loving the game because it has that Bethesda feeling which I can't really explain. Get some random close to dashboards though when visiting points of interests like industrial outposts and whatnot on Series S so been manually saving a lot. Also had a glitch where some spacers turned into streakers because they only had on underwear (plus the guy in the first shop on New Atlantis. Saw him sweeping in his underwear 🤣). I get tired though when playing it because there's less hostile encounters and it's relaxing just looking at things.

I do feel cloud is the future. I just hope they can get it so aiming feels like you're playing on a console. I completed a quest on Starfield yesterday on my tablet so I could watch Money for Nothing before I went to work lol. Once you get used to the slight delay it feels great.

@StylesT I'll never do this. I haven't even done that glitch for that armour in the cabinet. The only game I've actively glitched on was Gotcha Force on the GameCube to get a gotcha borg you could only get by attending a convention, and some you get by merging other borgs you've collected but they're glitched out but still fun to use, and a glitch to play as the last boss but all the moves are automatic so you just sit there bored as heck.

There's also a short clip where I think the same person throws a grenade in them and they go flying everywhere before the clip cuts off.

@Amigator Was the guy named xbottears playstation ambassador or something like that on twitter? Because I accidentally saw his one line comment but I highly doubt he knows the story and is just being a 🍆head. Then again doesn't really affect me because I'll probably never finish the game because I'll be looking at things, especially if they're shiny lol.

Anyone who joins, ask them if the landing zone is boxed in or can you walk or jetpack around the planet. I'd be fine if the area around the landing zone was Skyrim-sized and the barriers were just some 'unexplained phenomena' that kills you similar to the red sea in Sea of Thieves damaging your ship.

Soon as a discless Series X is announced I'm cleaning my Series S to use as credit towards it, especially if it looks like a cube.

@Kaloudz I checked a few days ago on google but was hoping the console version is the same as all the other ones. I might try and grind reward points to put towards the lifetime access. I can't decide what games to play these days so would be nice to dip into some nostalgia from time to time. Or I can wait until February when I don't have to pay council tax and water.

Is Cannon Fodder on it? I've got the SNES cartridge and a clone console but I'm too lazy to set it up.

Thank atheism for reward points. Long as I can grind them I'll stick to ultimate, even if it means spending a little money towards it.

I wonder if some of what was shown at the Starfield direct would've been cut content without the delay or Xbox's support.

That's more ammo for the console warriors😂

If I can pay for game pass ultimate with the gift card money in my Microsoft account it would ease the blow. No way I'm claiming game pass ultimate with the free code because it always locks up the console when trying to get it.

@Kaloudz I'm the same. Not paid for online for months thanks to reward points until a code for redeeming game pass wouldn't work, then I couldn't buy any games or gold for a few days. Had to go online and get someone at Xbox to buy gold for me. Now I'm just going to add money to my Microsoft account and buy game pass ultimate with that instead, if I can. I'll buy Starfield though because I want to own it.

@Rangers420 I think it crashes on the Series X too. I'm waiting for that update that's supposed to fix all the bugs. Can't play without crashing around the Boston area. I'm desperate to play it again.

I'll be playing on my S but might use some of my saved money to get a 4k tv. Just trying to resist the urge to buy one now but my 720p tv is p155ing me off every time I look at it.

@Zoidpilot4 I read somewhere that Dreamcastguy was getting so much pushback, even from PlayStation fans, that he rage quit his own livestream of the Starfield showcase and deleted it 😭

If mods are anything like Skyrim then modders could just unlock the frame rate on console hopefully. I'm not too bothered about 30fps for this type of game though.

Looks like I'll be buying Persona 3 again (FES pre owned on PS2, P3P Xbox and now this next year, even though they're on game pass). As they say, good things come in threes.

@UltimateOtaku91 You heard of Gotcha Force on GameCube or Team Buddies on PS1? They were cheap as fudge when I was a kid/teen. Now they're £100+. Gave my brother my Gotcha Force but he lives with me so I could still play it if I wanted but I regret trading in Team Buddies when I still bought physical games.

Highly unlikely but I'd love a playable demo of Starfield. I'd just boot it up in the background everyday while doing my reward points stuff on my tablet. I just know if that happens I'll get insomnia because I have to be up early Monday for my morning cleaning job and I'll probably be too hyped to sleep properly.

If it's real then I may actually have money spare for it. I'm having it. I'm gonna look at it and be distracted from whatever I'm currently playing.

Will the showcase be capped at 30fps?🙃 I'll be urined if Starfield ain't 60fps.

@NeutronBomb No idea. I'm slowly going off gaming but it's the only real hobby I have. If I did get a ps5 it would only be to get the Earth Defence Force games or to play any retro games when Sony bothers to even add them. I'd probably try Demon Souls or something.

I'm seriously considering saving towards a ps5. Only first party I play on Xbox currently is Sea of Thieves on and off. I'm not into Forza and was put off getting Halo Infinite because of the lack of environments in single player. I mostly play third party due to the lack of actual decent first party games releasing on Xbox, especially with all the studios they have.

I saw a clip where the car props looked tiny compared to the size of your character. Reminded me of State of Decay 2 where all the toilets look tiny, like you'd have to flush after dropping one 💩 and a wipe tiny.

I'm saying nothing......

I've seen screenshots where reflections look better on ps5 and blurry on Series X. I'm not too ar5ed as I have a Series S but tf is going on with all that "powah"?

**sad violin noises**

I bought the 500gb one awhile back for my Series S. Don't know why but I'm tempted to buy another one but not use it because I like the aesthetics of it. Too poor for that though at the moment 😅
