I loved it finished it on Gamepass at release it definitely has some flaws but the world was beautiful and really fun to explore. I'll definitely be buying it for PS5 when it releases.
@ILuvGames Aye the gunplay seems pretty good but apart from that didn't really enjoy it only played a couple of games though. It seems to only have 1 game mode which was a little disappointing.
@ILuvGames Same but then got another connection error after my first game. Also had some racist arsehole in the very first game just shouting abuse down his mic the entire game.
I was almost all digital until recently, but I've gone back to buying mostly physical as the deals are usually much better. I paid £34.99 for Borderlands 4 on amazon instead of £55.99 on playstation store.
Still playing Borderlands 4 hopefully get the story finished this weekend and probably a bit of BF6 multiplayer later on. I'm also tempted to download Fable again on my Xbox and do another playthrough it's been a while.
Borderlands 4 mostly for me this weekend enjoying it a lot more than the 3rd game. Ive also got a bunch of other games that i started and haven't finished so maybe go back to one of them maybe Still Wakes the Deep or Tales from the Borderlands.
I'm about halfway through Tales from the Borderlands I'll try and finish that today and then get back to Outer Worlds 2 and probably play a bit of Battlefield 6 later on.
I've played my PS5 a lot more than Xbox this year probably about 80% of my time has been on PS5 going through my backlog that's built up over the years. Think i only finished 4 games on Xbox this year but 2 of them are in my top 5 for the year Avowed and South of Midnight.
Finished Lego Horizon the other day got 1 trophy left for the platinum so might try and get that today and more Outer Worlds 2 and some Battlefield 6. I also got a month of Gamepass for a £1 tried Blops 7 and it's terrible so I'm going to try Clair Obscur again started it when it released but didn't get very far.
It's the only Halo campaign I've never finished didn't enjoy it at all the multiplayer was decent but i only played it for about a month before never going back.
Bought Outer Worlds 2 in the sale played about an hour or so last night looking forward to getting stuck in today. I'll also probably play some Battlefield 6 multiplayer later on. I'm very tempted to buy Ys Nordic as it's on sale as well but probably shouldn't lol.
Halo MCC is the only thing I've bought and i used reward points but tempted to grab Outer Worlds 2 and Star Wars Outlaws dlc on Playstation. Has anyone played the dlc for Outlaws is it worth it?
Trying to finish up my Gears Reloaded hardcore playthrough but I'm struggling with beating Raam doesn't help that Doms ai is utter ***** can't believe they still haven't fixed it. I'm going to continue with Where Winds Meet I'm enjoying it but honestly dont have a clue what half the stuff I'm looting is even for and the menus are a mess. I also just bought the Master Chief collection for £7.49 with rewards so I'll be playing that later on.
This is the first CoD I've got zero interest in buying blops 6 completely burnt me out on the franchise and this just seems like it could've been dlc tbh.
Cancelled it and probably won't be back didn't really use it enough to justify the price hike. I don't care about the Fortnite crap they added and i own most Ubisoft games i want so none of the extra stuff they're bundled in is of any interest to me personally.
I'll never understand people that cheat in online games it surely just takes the fun out of the game even if your top of the leaderboard every game it's because you're a cheating ***** not because you are good at the game. But these things are hard to detect properly so i have my doubts they'll be able to really do anything about it but at least they're going to try CoD is full of cheaters and Activision couldn't give a *****.
Finished Mafia The Old Country got a few more trophies for the platinum. I'm also near the end of Arkham City first time ever playing it and it's pretty fun if i get that finished I'll start Arkham Knight. I'm trying to clear as much of my backlog this year as possible.
Finished it yesterday and absolutely loved it going to try and go for the platinum now I'm not looking forward to collecting all the foxes again just done it a couple of weeks ago for Mafia Definitive edition.
Started Mafia The Old Country last night and love what I've played so far so I'll be continuing with that and also be playing some more of Battlefield 6 beta can't wait for the full release now.
@Ricky-Spanish Yes all the trophies unlocked fine i also played it on Xbox last year and didn't have any issues that i can remember with the achievements.
A lot of people own more than one console so anybody who really wanted to play it probably already bought it on PS5. I honestly don't buy any games on Xbox since Gamepass always has something i want to play.
@ZuneTattooGuy You can trade the disc in or lend them to friends you can't do that with a code in a box it just seems pointless to release what is essentially a digital copy with a box.
Trying to get back into AC Shadows I'm about 80 hours in and haven't even seen half the map yet. On Xbox I'm halfway through Doom it's the first of the newer Doom games that really clicked for me. I also started Sand Land when it was added to plus so maybe try and play some more of that seems pretty decent so far only 4 hours in though.
Xdefiant was actually pretty decent they just took far too long to fix the hit detection issues and too slow adding new content. I put about 100 hours into it and it felt like the good old days of CoD without SBMM tuned to the max.

What's the point in even releasing a physical edition if its just a code in a box so stupid.

Re: Six Xbox Games Are Shutting Down Their Servers In June 2025

Re: Talking Point: Which Xbox Game Will Move To PS5 Next?
Starfield or Avowed
