N64 Goldeneye , like many before me, best James Bond game ever made, certainly in my top 10 best games overall ever made, nothing in this list comes even close....
Yeah, really tempted, but how much controllers does one need?, since the xbox one(x) controllers are compatible with current gen, we already have like 7 controllers lying around the house, really can't sell that to my wife . Maybe if I they would break down once in a while or wear down, but even my 360 controllers are still working fine, so cannot complain about the longevity of the xbox controllers so far.
Well, I enjoyed the kinect with my children on the 360 , we had a blast with Kinect adventures, kinectimals, fruit ninja and the like, thought the gestures were really working well. But understood why it went away... Still a huge success story for MS, who basically sold a bunch of kinect 3's to the U.S Military for like 22 Billion (Hololens)
So many games , so little time to play them, being at work, thinking I'm gonna play this and that tonight, and then I get home, give the kids and wife attention, play one round of Hades, and then mostly off to bed cause I got tired..... lol, well maybe this weekend...
Microsoft could acquire the whole western division of SE, including crystal dynamics, there were rumours a time ago that they were looking to sell that part to Ubisoft, so if MS would close that deal, they would aquire some interesting IP, like Thief, Deus Ex and Tomraider.... which would be a nice addition for future projects, and the 'old' stuff would go nicely into gamepass.
@Halucigens Yeah, great for that too, but also my X ssd is constantly maxed out, so yeah try before you download option is really a good QoL thing while shuffling things around between my internal and external drive, or even play while downloading sounds good too.... I am in the beta insiders ring, so hopefully gonna be able to try it soon.
@Kilamanjaro The rechargeable packs from Dobe are amazing , 1200mAh big packs , can get them here in Holland online but got my last one through ali express , really good quality
Yep , really not into collectibles anymore, I stopped cause of a burglary in which I lost all of my 360 special editions like the the mw2 nightvision goggles , that kind of stuff. But really tempted with this fridge....
Damn, haven't even finished checking out games from like 3 weeks ago, they keep adding stuff, and I'm lost for time, from the little time that I have, 80% is still going to Hades, this weekend hopefully some time to play halo flight....
Picked them both up, not easy to find in store if you start your search with the battlefield term and go from there, as I'm at work and not behind the series x at home, but if you search for naval strike and turning tides as keywords you find them right away.
@StonyKL Totally agree, should be banned, it's like digital crack, escaped like three times , but keep coming back, beware if you haven't touched it yet, stay away or get irreversibly hooked like we did, my already insane backlog keeps growing with this implement of Sata.... I mean Hades 😉
Had fun with the first one, just found out that you don't have to opt again, still in the mix, but like I said before, wouldn't mind if they gave my seat to someone who missed out the first time
Can't wait to try it out, seems like a great add-on, especially for my one x , cause since we got the series, that one is now the go to media player in the living room, so not having to use the controller is gonna be sweet.
Have to wait a bit, though , as I am in the beta-ring
Really want one, but same here, probably gonna be too late, or it's not avaiable for mainland Europe or something, and not gonna overpay for a little fridge.
@robe I think the available on gamepass thing is a result of the show they gave with at the E3 , where 27 out of 30 they showed were gonna be on gamepass, like they showed Battlefield too, which, until now, is not gonna be on gamepass. So now they want to state that everything they showed is gonna be there. Agree with the info slide which states on which part of the xbox eco system the games are gonna be.
15th of November would be fitting, anniversary and all, but December 8th is fine by me, as long as it's 'finished' by then, not in a state where it still contains game-breaking bugs and stuff like that.
Gonna have to finish the 1st one first, and then make the leap, should be more fun, still got my save-file from maybe 10 or more years ago thanks to the amazing cloudsave service.
@Bmartin001 Same here, got Odyssee ultimate version in the sale as that got me assassin's creed 3 remastered for free, so now work my way up through all the games up to Odyssee
Own it on 360, PC LE and SE, and the SE for xbox one, but yeah what can I say, will definitely be buying this, normally I wouldn't but I save so much money these days with everything on gamepass, would have bought Outriders, the Ascent, Hades otherwise, but didn't have to, Hades will be a no-brainer buy when it leaves the service, hope the Ascent and Outriders will get enough patches/updates to make me think the same.
Loved the last flight, would like to be in the next one, but would gladly give up my seat to a fan of the series who followed all the steps but missed the first one cause they didn't get selected
Partnership or buying, I really think this small team has done something special, although I read somewhere they had some help in the end , but again Microsoft should definitely invest in them in one way or another, definitely talent that they should keep for the book of X
GTA 5 is 15 euros at the moment for me in the summer sale which lasts for another 3 days, so if you really hate for it to leave, now is the time to pick it up, it's the premium edition btw, no clue if there's even a standard edition anymore for that matter.
I think the game has real potential, the rpg elements are not that enticing at the moment, but that could very well be fixed with some patches, together with some balancing fixes, but the game is so gorgeous , the world detail is baffling too, if they fix all of the bugs and process all of the feedback they will get this game would be 90+ material.
I'm in Beta, and I'm now typing this comment on an xbox series with keyboard and mouse, It's awesome, turns your Xbox into a chromebook basically, I recently was lucky enough to aquire an series x, so one of my sons, who wanted to assemble a game-pc because he also needs a device to do some online homework, will be using the series s with mouse and keyboard. This will do until the dgpu's come down in price.... still ridiculous what you have to pay for a decent Nvidia or AMD card. Great value what we got for the xbox series!
I agree, the rewards program is awesome, weekly and the monthly (for the 1000 points) are the ones I always target.... easy to achieve... I use it for discounts in the store....
It crashed during startup yesterday evening, didn't think anything of it at the time, was gonna try it again after work tonight, hope they solve it soon, hate to lose my week-award spree
Solid A, good pacing, great variety of games, considering the pandemic I thought this was really, really good. FH 5 was jaw dropping gorgeous, but even Halo didn't disappoint, also loved the Outerworlds 2 announcement, Flight Sim looked good too on the series....
I personally don't care for the Warhammer series, but my son is a total Warhammer nut, so he's gonna be stoked! I think he has already one of the titles on his pc.
