Unfortunately Enchanted Arms has been pulled from the digital store for sale. Had it on my wish list for ages and every week I told myself to just buy it but never got around to it.
@StylesT annoying as I downloaded it on console after seeing this. I have been playing it on pc to get the play with friends rewards but it is very hit and miss if it pops (played for about an hour yesterday and it didn’t)
@UltimateOtaku91 I have only played Like a Dragon and was also surprised by how silly it is. Just wish it didn’t have the difficulty spikes as other than them it is a brilliant game.
@Would_you_kindly you are right but just like i don’t think this has anything to with it being paid for I also don’t believe every game that doesn’t come out on Xbox Sony has paid for it to happen.
@FatalBubbles to be fair it was a tongue in cheek comment (and I did miss the bit about big exclusives).
Honestly I’m not that big a fan of most of the 1st party exclusives from all 3 console makers with the exception of Forza and Halo and not really even played either of the last one of each of them.
This sort of thing is why I wish cross platform saves existed. I want to buy on Xbox to support these types of games but I think Switch is the better platform for them and would love to be able to jump between them.
The new levels PS feels good because it is new to me but if I hadn’t played any games for the past 10 years the GPU wins easy for me especially with the EA Play games.
At the end of the day if you get good value from either you are onto a winner.
Anyone know if the F1 game has a 10 hour EA play trail.
It is disappointing that these have stopped being on all games.
Edit: just looked and it apparently became available yesterday.
Edit 2: Reread the article and it looks like you only get the trial if you have preordered "The trial went live at 7am UK time and entitles users to a time ten hours experiencing the game after they’ve pre-ordered. It is not a free trial and you will have to buy the game in order to access it."
@BBB This does look good but what happened with elite does concern me somewhat.
It wouldn't have been as bad if you could transfer your save as I would have considered transferring from Xbox to PC on Elite as I don't want to start again.
I do have one on preorder that I am 50/50 on but that would change to 100% if they had an easy way to play GP windows games (not streamed) especially Play Anywhere ones.
slightly off topic but anyone had any issues with older games that you have bought now showing as you need to purchase it again?
I went to try Vandal Hearts Flames of Judgement which I originally bought at release and it is asking me to buy. Have looked at the old marketplace website wi]hitch is showing as bought.

Anyone know if it has any sort of save transfer as if not may just play it on PS+, or buy for Steam Deck
Re: Hogwarts Legacy Campaign Length Revealed Through Leaked Artbook
Was thinking about this until i realised it is 30% more on next gen consoles compared to Steam
Re: Talking Point: Is It Time For Xbox To Sunset The 'Games With Gold' Program?
The problem is if they get rid of Gold it then undervalues GPU as I can imagine most get Ultimate for the combination of Gold and not the PC element.

Wish Enchanted Arms would get a discount.
Re: Persona 3 & 4 Next-Gen Versions Are Xbox Exclusive, Both Hit Game Pass In January
@NEStalgia the only thing i can imagine is faster (even faster than the faster last gen) loading speeds.

@Would_you_kindly or maybe weird disjointed system Sony at it again.

Re: The First 'Scorn' Reviews Have Arrived, And Feedback Is Mixed So Far
@sjbsixpack I agree, Destruction Allstars was mind blowing in its sheer awfulness.
Re: Pick One: Which Need For Speed Xbox Game Is Your Favourite?
Need for Speed 3do is still the best.
Re: Talking Point: How Often Do You Actually Buy Xbox Game Pass Games?
might buy Persona 5 even though it will be on GP as feel like might want to support it on Xbox.
Re: Xbox's Phil Spencer Visits SEGA Booth At TGS 2022, Where Persona 5 Royal Was Playable
@Kaloudz a remaster of both Skies and Shining Force 3 would be my dream.
Re: Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remasters Confirmed For Xbox In 2023
This sort of thing is why I wish cross platform saves existed. I want to buy on Xbox to support these types of games but I think Switch is the better platform for them and would love to be able to jump between them.
Re: PlayStation Boss Heavily Criticises Xbox For 'Inadquate' Call Of Duty Offer
Microsoft need to stop being the nice guy and step up. Start making exclusive deals and see how he likes it then.
Re: Talking Point: How Would You Compare The New PS Plus To Xbox Game Pass?
Basic PS wins.
The new levels PS feels good because it is new to me but if I hadn’t played any games for the past 10 years the GPU wins easy for me especially with the EA Play games.
At the end of the day if you get good value from either you are onto a winner.
Re: Deals: 400+ Games In This Week's Stacked Xbox Sales (August 2-9)
@Dusk_Actual not sure if that or loads of Need for Speed games being in the Action RPG sale is worse
Re: These Seven Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (August 2-11)
@SplooshDmg Sounds interesting
Re: All New Releases Coming To Xbox In August 2022
Should buy Soil Hackers as we need more JRPGs even though no idea when I will get chance to play it.
Re: Xbox Is Adding New Symbols To The Game Tiles In Your Library
Very useful as could do with going through games I have downloaded that are no longer on GP without having to try and launch them.
Re: Talking Point: What Were Your Favourite Xbox Live Arcade Games On 360?
Beyond Good and Evil is the first thing that comes to mind as my favourite.
Re: Hands On: Seagate SSD 1TB Storage Card Is A Great Expansion For Xbox Series X
The RRP on the MS site is £219 (Sale price £185) not £255 so think Amazon are trying to make the discount sound better.

Re: EA Teases 'Some Surprises' You Won't Want To Miss Out On
@Beagle DS and RR would be great, even a widescreen remaster of the 3DO RR would go down well with me.

Re: Rumour: PlayStation Could Have A 'Really Big' Acquisition To Announce Soon
I am happy if any of the big 3 buys Sega as long as they start making the most of the older Sega IPs.
I would be happy if Sega just started churning out remasters (Shining Force 3, Skies of Arcadia, JSRF).
Re: Valve 'Happy' To Work With Microsoft To Get PC Game Pass On Steam
@Kilamanjaro I have the 512gb ordered (after Q2) so have plenty of time to make my mind up.

Re: Xbox Exclusive Jet Set Radio Future Is Officially 20 Years Old
@Jango-Forest I could never get into the original (or the remaster) but loved JSRF so for me JSRF
