I have so many fond memories of the original- the Master System was my first console after having a C64, being able to play games without having to get my dad to load a tape was ground breaking for us back then!
@Halucigens stick with lower world tiers until you level up a bit and are starting to grind for end game loot. The drop level is negated by the increase in enemy level, and everything you get early on just get mashed up for Mats. It looks like you get the same amount of experience per kill on tier 3 or tier 15, so make your life easier and enjoy the campaign.
I'm loving it, feels like a Gears and Destiny hybrid with a healthy dose of Dooms fast paced combat (I'm playing Tricksters assin tree, so lots of shotgun and melee action going on). Hopefully there's enough end game to keep the grind fun.
@UltimateOtaku91 I've never noticed that before, it probably blends in with the controller so I don't see it. Moving forward that's probably all I will see now
I'm not a fan of Amiibo, I grabbed the Magnamalo one for the armour but will likely sell it on looking at how the prices have skyrocketed - i can effectively get the game for free from the profit lol.
@UltimateOtaku91 at the end if the month. Its easy enough to blast through in 1 sitting but the collectibles are a bit of a grind. Drop me a friend request if you want to grab the coop achievements, there's one I missed for killing an early boss so would help me out as well. I will likely be online between 01:00 & 04:30 GMT as I'm on nights for the next 3 lol - just can't use a mic in work.
I'm playing Journey to the Savage Planet before it leaves gamepass and hoping to finish Celeste so I can cross it off my list and move on (don't see why people rave about it tbh)
I'm just annoyed that my headset pre order got put back until April 10th.
At least I was able to grab one, most sellers stopped taking pre orders as they were already sold out.
Hopefully this comes to gamepass and I will give it a go for free. The thought of being stuck playing as Kamala for so much of the campaign just put me off paying for it - I hated her in the books, why would I want to play as her in a game when I could be any of the other Avengers!
I'm just glad I will get to play them day 1 on gamepass. It would be nice of they could talk Nintendo into having Gsmepass on the Swotch Pro as that would be a win win
This game needs to go F2P, it only took off do well on PlayStation because it was included with + on launch. Hopefully it comes to gamepass
There just isn't enough game to warrant paying - especially as it is fully reliant on an active user base, at least Fortnite has Save the World to play solo.
That's good to know, brought my mine to work with me and when I set it up couldn't get online. I was starting to worry as everything was working fine before I left the house.
@PhhhCough I picked Immortals FR up on switch and its one of my biggest regrets, everything looks so blurry, it gives me a headache after an hour or so of play. I really wish I had picked it up on a different system.
Been looking forward to this, loved Bulletstorm and Gears Judgement. Will try the demo and then decide if I'm going to pick this up or grab Monster Hunter Rise instead - I only have enough time for one looter at a time.
I found the touch controls get in the way for most games (LoL Wild Rift is the only mobile game that feels serviceable with touch). I picked up a Razor Kishi and it is amazing for playing the cloud games in work or remote play in bed.
It's a shame really as the universe and core gameplay loop were both amazing, the game just lacked any sort of endgame content. If EA had pumped some money into it instead of leaving a skeleton crew I'm sure they could have turned it around and done a Taken King.
That will be what happened earlier when it randomly synched to my phone after the cat sat on it.
Might delete it from my phone as I use the Razer Kishi, I find the controller clip way to cumbersome and top heavy.
Games Master is one of those shows that pretty much encapsulates the 90's. I remember splitting a fiver bag of weed with a mate and sitting down to watch this every week. Hopefully they get Dominic Diamond back to host this new series
@kantaroo I think you're probably right, 2 of the new gen machines are diskless and including a physical copy of the game would force them to buy it twice, and including a digital code for the game would just piss off the physical collectors.
A problem I'm all too familiar with. I had a great mighty poo load too quickly for me and caused a softlock - I daren't stand up until everyone else had left the bus.

Re: EA's FIFA 21 & NHL 21 Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass Very Soon

Swapping between Monster Hunter Rise and trying to find the last collectibles in Journey to the Savage Planet before it leaves gamepass.
Re: The Medium And Observer: System Redux Are Getting Physical Releases
I'm going to have to try and cut a slot in my Series S so I can play the disc versions.

@themightyant what if they added a spider woman like Gwen or Jessica Drew, would that help you along?

Re: Another Three Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass Soon (March 31)
I've just downloaded journey to the savage planet, suppose I had better pull my finger out if I want to complete the achievement list.
Re: These 12 Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (March 16 - April 1)
@FraserG makes sense, it just really confused me.
I went to comment and when it wouldn't let me I scrolled up and noticed the time stamp.
Re: These 12 Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (March 16 - April 1)
Why does the link (about the 3 games leaving gamepass) say it was posted today at 16.30 when it's only 15.45?
Re: Two More Of March 2021's Xbox Games With Gold Are Now Available
I'll add them to my library but not in a particular rush to play either.
Re: Roundup: Here's What Critics Are Saying About The Xbox Wireless Headset
I have to wait a few more weeks as my pre order confirmation said they arent available for release date but will arrive by 10th April.
Re: The New Xbox Wireless Headset Comes With 6 Months Of Dolby Atmos
I'm just annoyed that my headset pre order got put back until April 10th.
At least I was able to grab one, most sellers stopped taking pre orders as they were already sold out.
Re: Poll: Do You Think The Elder Scrolls 6 Will Be Exclusive To Xbox?
I would think they will keep it exclusive to drive GamePass subscriptions and keep the Games as Service options like ESO and FO76 cross platform.
Re: Marvel's Avengers' Upcoming Patch Will Finally Allow Players To Replay The Campaign
Hopefully this comes to gamepass and I will give it a go for free.

Re: SEGA's Latest Survey Has Got Xbox Fans Asking For More Ports
Upgrade Nights Into Dreams so I can play it in bed via Remote Play and I would be happy.
Re: Josef Fares Asks Major Nelson What He Thinks Of The 'Confusing' Xbox Console Names
I often wonder how many parents picked up a One X/S over Christmas thinking they were the new consoles.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think About Certain Bethesda Games Being Xbox Exclusives?
I'm just glad I will get to play them day 1 on gamepass. It would be nice of they could talk Nintendo into having Gsmepass on the Swotch Pro as that would be a win win
Re: Tales Of Arise Gets A New Trailer For The First Time In Forever, More Info This Spring
Can't wait for this game, the Tales series is my favourite RPG franchise
Re: Epic Games Is Buying Fall Guys Developer Mediatonic
This game needs to go F2P, it only took off do well on PlayStation because it was included with + on launch. Hopefully it comes to gamepass
There just isn't enough game to warrant paying - especially as it is fully reliant on an active user base, at least Fortnite has Save the World to play solo.
Re: Yep, Xbox Live Has Been Suffering With Outage Issues Today
That's good to know, brought my mine to work with me and when I set it up couldn't get online. I was starting to worry as everything was working fine before I left the house.
Re: Dragon Age 4 Is Reportedly Dropping All Planned Multiplayer Features
I was really looking forward to this but after Anthem I'm going to hold off and see how it pans out before I buy.
Re: Random: The Internet Is Disgusted With This Xbox Cheese Dust Photo

Re: Square Enix's Outriders Is Getting A Demo On Xbox Next Week
Been looking forward to this, loved Bulletstorm and Gears Judgement.
Will try the demo and then decide if I'm going to pick this up or grab Monster Hunter Rise instead - I only have enough time for one looter at a time.
Re: Seven More Games Are Getting Touch Controls For Xbox Cloud Gaming
I found the touch controls get in the way for most games (LoL Wild Rift is the only mobile game that feels serviceable with touch).
I picked up a Razor Kishi and it is amazing for playing the cloud games in work or remote play in bed.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (Feb 12th)
I have a few achievements to mop up in Donut County and will then move onto Gears 5 and maybe a bit of Splatoon
Re: EA Will Reportedly Decide The Fate Of Anthem This Week
It's a shame really as the universe and core gameplay loop were both amazing, the game just lacked any sort of endgame content.
If EA had pumped some money into it instead of leaving a skeleton crew I'm sure they could have turned it around and done a Taken King.
Re: Did You Know: The Xbox Series X Controller Can Memorise Syncs For Multiple Devices

Gamepass on Switch with this leading the way
Re: Control Ultimate Edition Looks Remarkable On Xbox Series X
Is this the version that's on GamePass or is that just the vanilla version?
Re: Xbox Mobile App Update Coming Soon, But No Sign Of A Store Or Achievements
They just need to look at the PlayStation app and copy that. I find it really accessible and it has everything you need.
Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition Has An Absolutely Stunning Collector's Edition
