Never played the mp. The campaign was touted as great & it duly delivered and more. People who say its one of the best campaigns aren't lying. It's an amazing journey and the length is perfect. I'd love Titanfall 3 campaign.
I'm enjoying Mass Effect & I've not played the trilogy before. I find Multiplayer titles overrated & long for great single player stuff. F1 2021 would be a good second as the Demo was good fun so I'll pick that up at some point.
I picked my Series S up when Game were offering it for Β£40 if you traded a Switch. I didn't use it & I was bored of the PS4 Pro fan - especially when my partner was trying to play RDR2 and couldn't hear what they were saying and had to use subs.
It's a fantastic little console and its got all the media apps I need that PS doesn't have (weird) & I'm very happy with it. It is however dwarfed by the 360 Elite next to it XD
Given the recent treatment/updates to GTA IV on PC, I'd say that was one. RDR might be another and the third? Who knows. Maybe Max Payne, maybe Manhunt. You can never tell with Rockstar π
After playing and enjoying FM4 on the 360, I played GT Sport. That was dull - people have said FM7 is dull? No no, try GTS. They literally took everything I liked about the GT series and binned it. FM7 was the saving grace for my racing needs (on console, anyway)
@SplooshDmg haha no problem, didn't realise I'd run into accounting speak on gaming website ππππ Breaking down the MS Financials still counts as work right? π€
Also, you explained what I was saying alot better.
@The_New_Butler it does and it doesn't. I understand what the person meant and yes, the 7.5b won't show as a whole number but essentially paid off in instalments each quarter under the company's depreciation account. The assets (IP) won't depreciate. I don't think I've explained this very well ππ
@gollumb82 haha yeah I thought the same about Shadow. It feels a bit like Arkham Origins in that it's pretty good, but the two that came before just knocked them out the park.
@gollumb82 My friend plays F1 2020 & says it's the only game it's a good thing for π I feel bad for my other half though as she has to play RDR2 with subtitles so I'll get another copy on Xbox.
I got the trilogy definitive pack in the last sale. I'll play Shadow again because I couldn't hear a thing last time I played except gunfire and a PS4 Pro fan. It's the same story with RDR2, I'll probably pick that up in the Xbox sale as well since my XSS is super quiet in comparison.
It'll be a while until I get to this. I'm currently running through Horizon 1 on my XSS and it's a blast. It still looks great and am surprised to read XSS can't play 3 at 60fps - not that I notice much difference between 30-60 frames. π
Just a single colour option? That's a shame, hoped they'd have added that fascia from the Pride controller. That was cool. More multi colour options would definitely get my attention.
They nearly bought WB Games. Imagine those as MS Exclusives. Insane. Also, what are TT Games doing? They've not released Lego games for ages ππ Seriously though, MS should break the internet by buying Valve & announcing Half Life 3.
Hopefully Forza Horizon 4 is on sale. Maybe Gears 4-5 too, but should probably finish Gears 1 first π Might pick up 1 or 3 Assassins Creed games if they go on sale.. Oh gosh, already sounds expensive ππ
I'm sad I can't download Transformers: War for Cybertron (I know it's a licencing thing) and play that, but I'll dig out the 360 for that. Other than that, Xbox has me covered.

Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite Assassin's Creed Xbox Game?
Loved playing as Evie in Syndicate (plus its Victorian London). I really like 3 & 4 as well.
Re: Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League Shows Off New Gameplay Trailer
Gameplay? Looked more like a few cut scenes edited together....
Also - I really really hope for cross play on this.
Re: Respawn Takes Titanfall Off Sale, Promises The 'Universe Will Continue'

Re: Pick One: Which Of These EA Games From 2021 Has Been Your Favourite?

Re: EA Reportedly 'Shot Down' Pitch For Star Wars Battlefront 3
Shame, I really enjoyed the campaign & its DLC. Oh well. Need to finish the Fallen Order one though but finding it a little bit of a slog.
Re: Xbox Worked On Recent Batch Of Backwards Compatible Titles For 'Years'
I thank them for RE Operation Raccoon City. That was one of the few I wanted.
Re: Xbox Series S Reportedly Outsells Series X In Various Key Markets
I picked my Series S up when Game were offering it for Β£40 if you traded a Switch. I didn't use it & I was bored of the PS4 Pro fan - especially when my partner was trying to play RDR2 and couldn't hear what they were saying and had to use subs.

Re: After Today, Xbox Won't Be Adding Any More Classic Backwards Compatible Games
This makes me sad as I always hoped Buffy would be made compatible.
I am stoked that RE Operation Raccoon City was added. Such a great game (for what it is), especially the DLC missions.
Re: 10+ Classic Games Mysteriously Added To Old Xbox Marketplace
And still no RE Operation Raccoon City! π
Re: The Best Xbox 360 Games Of All Time
No Transformers War for Cybertron or the Fall of Cybertron sequel? This saddens me.
Re: Konami Is Reportedly Set To Remake Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
@Widey85 try GoldenEye on an old CRT monitor/TV. That'll help π
Re: NHL 22 Takes To The Ice This October With A New Game Engine
@SacredPYRO You are not wrong. It used to be manageable, now it's insane. I've gone back to 17 since it's got SP Seasons with the changing difficulty.
Re: NHL 22 Takes To The Ice This October With A New Game Engine
Hope they've added the ability for manual line changes on Hybrid/94 controls but I won't hold my breath.

Re: Take-Two Working On Three Unannounced Remasters, Some βAlmost Certainlyβ GTA
Given the recent treatment/updates to GTA IV on PC, I'd say that was one. RDR might be another and the third? Who knows. Maybe Max Payne, maybe Manhunt. You can never tell with Rockstar π
Re: Forza Motorsport 7 Is Reaching 'End Of Life' Status, Will Leave Xbox Game Pass This September

Re: Xbox Revenue Up 11% In FY21 Q4 Results, Driven By Series X|S Sales
@SplooshDmg it's also more interesting than these invoices I'm needing to create... XD

Re: Xbox Revenue Up 11% In FY21 Q4 Results, Driven By Series X|S Sales
I'll grab a Series X at some point, but I'm happy with the Series S in the meantime as it's not like we're unindated with XS games ππ

Re: Skull & Bones Has 'Just Passed Alpha', But Is Reportedly Still 'Struggling To Take Shape'
Why don't they just make Black Flag 2? It's almost the same thing.... at least that way it's an established universe.
Re: No Joke, There's A Robocop Game Arriving On Xbox In 2023
It can't be any worse than the last RoboCop game can it??? In fairness, I had a Buffy game remake/remaster ahead of a new RoboCop game ππ
Re: Pick One: Batman Arkham Knight Is Now Six Years Old, Which Is Your Favourite Game Featuring The Hero?
I liked the gritty take of Arkham Origins. A young Batman that's slightly unhinged & unsure of himself who really hasn't made friends.
Re: Forza Horizon 5 Dev Feels 'Pretty Great' About All Versions Of The Game, Including Xbox One
It'll be a while until I get to this. I'm currently running through Horizon 1 on my XSS and it's a blast. It still looks great and am surprised to read XSS can't play 3 at 60fps - not that I notice much difference between 30-60 frames. π

Re: CD Projekt Red Is Teaming Up With Netflix To Bring WitcherCon Next Month
@abe_hikura Hahahaha he must be so annoyed at himself. Hope he learnt his lesson and gets a better deal from Netflix
Also, next gen version of Witcher 3? I've just bought it! π Hope they do Smart Delivery now.. ..
Re: Rumour Mill Continues To Suggest Xbox Might Have Acquired More Studios
They nearly bought WB Games. Imagine those as MS Exclusives. Insane. Also, what are TT Games doing? They've not released Lego games for ages ππ
Seriously though, MS should break the internet by buying Valve & announcing Half Life 3.
Re: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Is Reportedly Launching For Next-Gen This Friday
Is this the same patch that PC received back in January? If not, I'll take a look again.... otherwise I'll just keep going on the Steam version π
Re: Video: Hereβs Your First Look At Battlefield 2042, Arriving This October
If that was a trailer for the campaign, then I'm in.
Re: Xbox Game Pass Has Some Kind Of Surprise In Store For Us This Sunday
Is it too early to hope for a massive update to fix the PC version? π€ π
Re: Xbox's Huge E3 2021 Sale Begins This Week, Over 500 Games Discounted

Oh gosh, already sounds expensive ππ

Re: Microsoft Rewards: How To Earn 500 Easy Points With This New Bethesda Xbox Challenge
Wish I could get this on Xbox PC π
