I completed the campaign on it again but the lack of online multiplayer killed it for me to keep on going back to it.

The fact that there is no continuation after completing the main quest line is crazy. I wanted to mop up achievements but the game simply ends and does not let you.

I was close to buying Death Stranding a few times but held off, I will now try it on Game Pass. Space Marine 2 is awesome I got that on release it's so much fun.

@Fiendish-Beaver yes I like how it allows for mistakes, I've made a lot on there as people do walk in front of your line of fire. It does then still weed out the bad actors.

I was a fan right from the start, I owned every Xbox since the first release in 2001 😊

@Fiendish-Beaver Helldivers is a lot of fun with plenty of difficulty options to tweak and change on it. It does have friendly fire on it but I think it could be from some of the higher difficulties although I could be wrong.
I also like Starship Troopers Extermination, for team based PVE its great fun. There is friendly fire in that but it's very forgiving as it warns you first if you accidentally hit someone. Then if you keep on doing it the player killed gets the option to mark you as a traitor, at that point an announcement plays that there is a traitor in the ranks that must be killed and all players in the match can kill you and are rewarded XP for doing so haha

I hope Larry manages to find something in gaming again soon. I enjoyed his videos, podcasts and presentations when at Xbox, so I wish him well 😊

PoE2 and Once Human are the two I'm looking forward to playing 😊

The trailer looks awesome! I will be hopping back on again 😊

I bought it and made a coffee at home instead, I felt like a pro!

I actually enjoyed The Simpsons crossover and played a lot of it, I love South Park so will definitely be checking this out as well.

@Markatron84 Yes I'm sick of this email as well even though it does say in the message if you've already done this then ignore this email, it's still annoying.

I don't have many friends on Xbox and they never message me so I'm all good for now haha

I think this is proabably a good idea at the moment, then at the same time try and bring back down their current console prices!

Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🏻 Fraser and the team!!

Avowed should not be at number 2 IMO.. top 10 but not 2nd 🎮😅😅

This is so sad, he was a nice guy with a great way to make people smile or laugh with his content. RIP Lamarr

I liked my True Achievements one but I would have appreciated one from Xbox again

A very small teaser but if it makes it to release I'll be pleased!

I do love a Carmageddon game and this looks to lean more towards the Vigilante 8 style of vehicle combat in there too so I'm looking forward to trying that out.

@Nighto4 I'm inclined to agree with you on that one

I've not had any of these gift cards before but I will check in that offers section on my app.

So we getting some WB TV and movies on Netflix then? Plus some hikes to membership costs to make us pay for this!

It now says 100% off as a Just for You price for me rather than 24.99 so it seems to finally be working now.

I've just been onto Rockstar live chat unless you bought the Xbox One version of it you need to pay £24.99 for it.
I told them it was a messy launch and rubbish communication and that I would go play Battlefield 6 instead.

I played a bit of Black Ops 7 on launch and it made me go back to Battlefield 6 and to never return 🤣

This is a right mess, I've reached out to Xbox support earlier but some official response from either Xbox or Rockstar would be appreciated

@Medic_alert Yes they seem to have messed it up on Xbox, I was told by support chat to raise it as an outage so it gets highlighted to the store team to look at.

@Medic_alert it also shows as paid for me as well

It's good to see it getting a good amount of players still. A lot of people may go to it because of the CE remaster being the campaign only and wanting to play multiplayer on that game plus the others.
I might move back MCC once this final season in Infinite is finished.

I've been looking forward to this game finally coming to Xbox! I can't wait to check it out

Insert Anchorman 'I don't believe you' gif

I'm looking forward to playing Routine

Thanks Krafton!! I still need to play this!

I've still not played Undead Nightmare before so will gladly play this! 😊

I've now finished Keeper so I've started on The Outer Worlds 2 and I've also been playing some Battlefield 6 for the double XP weekend!

The campaign was only ok for me, I played through all of it and then went back through about half on co-op before giving up. I've put a lot of time into the multiplayer and once Forge and the updates were coming fairly regularly it's been a fun experience.

Well I guess it gives me more time to save up for it then

I've completed it, I enjoyed it for what it was and I would say it's an 8/10 as it's something a bit different.

I was waiting for the patches.. looks like I will buy it at some point but I'm now busy playing The Outer Worlds 2

I'm using The Keeper one at the moment, it's so lovely 😊

This looks really good and for £70 isn't bad when you think it comes with a charging stand and hall effect sticks

I got it on launch day but not on Xbox, I have it on PC via the EA app.

I like Dead by Daylight so I'm going to give this a try, I also like shorter narrative driven games.

I'm playing Battlefield 6 on PC and I've been enjoying it so far.

This just seems old fashioned and silly

I have an Elite Series 2 controller which the rubber grips peeled off and I've had to replace the lower and upper shell myself after 5 years of ownership so no I don't think I'd get another Elite controller due to quality concerns.
I also own a PowerA Fusion Pro Wireless Xbox controller and I have to say for £100 it's been a very nice controller doing everything I need it to and it's meant my Elite Series 2 has become my backup controller.

I got an odd email off Xbox but it was saying my price was going to be increasing and not staying the same. The reason it was odd is that it listed the price increase as a whole across a year not in terms of the individual monthly price increase.. here is a quote from it:

"Thank you for being a subscriber of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. We are planning to update our prices to address changing market conditions. This price change allows us to continue to bring you more value and great games for the very best gaming experience. Starting 4 November 2025, you will be charged £275.99 plus applicable taxes every recurrence period unless you cancel up to two days prior to your next scheduled payment date.

Your subscription price is changing from £179.99 to £275.99."

It's an odd way of advising the price increase lol

@FraserG I completely agree! I was checking the stream your own games in the app for 2 weeks post the Helldivers 2 release to no avail and then it seems when I stopped checking it they added it to the service haha.
My Series X and S are often used by my kids so being able to stream it is useful to me 😊

@Markatron84 it was specifically the Acer Predator Helios Neo 18 AI that I got which has an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, 32GB RAM, RTX 5070 TI Laptop GPU in it.
I've not been in the PC gaming side of things since the mid 2000's when playing WoW when it came out so I'm really rusty when it comes to making sure it's doing what it should be for me. But up to now I've relied on the Nvidia recommended settings for the games I've installed on it haha
