@stylon I will pop over and have a look, I think it was you who pointed me in the direction of pX and I thought this was as close to OXM as it could get. Still a massive shame this place closed down.
@jongred I'm like you, I don't tend to play online much although I do like to co op, especially games like Dark Souls and Halo. I don't tend to buy current games very often as I mainly get them in the sales but I have a massive library of games and it's quite varied too.
@stylon Push has a dedicated Xbox thread in the forums, obviously there is no news other than what we, the forumites, post but there are a couple of names from here that pop up.
The closest I've come to finding any community is Push Square (which is not ideal) and I miss this great site and OXM which were both fantastic communities.
@SuperKMx That's great news! I'll be keeping an eye out for your stuff and I hope you do get a site off the ground as your articles are always a pleasure to read
I'm still checking every day to see if it has been brought back from the brink. There is a big Xbox news hole in my life and I miss the banter with all you guys.
I know I've already commented but I keep thinking about it and I am absolutely gutted that you have had to close it down. I will really miss this great site and the superb people you've got on board here Ken.
@SuperKMx I'm so sad to read that this brilliant site has finished. I've enjoyed coming here and reading ALL the articles, enjoying the forums and participating in the lively discussions. I hope you and the rest of the guys (and I mean that in the none gender specific way) at pureXBOX write for other amazing sites. I would love to read more of your work and hopefully you get to write for other Xbox specific sites. All the best!
@Falco1863 it is cheap. Man, I hate being undecided! I'm weak, I've bought Battlefield and Horizon 2. More games than I can possibly hope to play, ever!!
@stylon @Gamer83 I think that VR will be the next 3D and it doesn't hold any interest for me. When there is more details of AR (like the Hololens type stuff) around, I think that will be more interesting.
I'm very interested to see where the Xbox brand is heading and to see what they announce for a new super powerful One. I'm not bothered by VR but I am interested in more Hi Def graphics which the more powerful console could deliver. I've enjoyed my One since day one and will continue enjoying it for the foreseeable future and I will no doubt buy a new more powerful Xbox when the time comes, although I hope they don't go down the PC upgrade route as that wouldn't be financially viable for me.
@Utena-mobile @A_BabyRed_Yoshi Why don't you guys head over to the Halo thread on the forums and discuss until your hearts are content. I'd join in as I love Halo. I'm on the last battle to finish on solo Legendary, man is it hard!
@A_BabyRed_Yoshi If you take a summon with you to the top of the tower and fight him there, there is an easy way to beat him in two hits. Give it another go its a great game.
@DRL Thanks Dave, we are! Only been here a night and we've shown our kids where we lived in Essex (county, south east England if your UK geography isn't up there). Off to see an old friend today and Wednesday we're off to LEGOLAND!!!
@stylon I haven't played it since I started 3, so it's just sat waiting on my hard drive, plus I've just bought the DLC so I want to give that a go at some point. I have a massive backlog of games so that is on the back burner, so I'll just dip in and out of it when I have the time.
@stylon If you fancy a co op run of the original Dark Souls and the DLC give me a shout. I'm only in the first major area with a new character so I'll be about on par with you.
@SuperKMx or anybody I got the Dark Souls DLC and I have a question. Should this show up in my download queue on my One or do I need to play the main game for it to show up? Thanks.
I have The Crew and Xcom on disc so I'll get both of them. TBH I'm not interested in Goat Simulator or Super Meat Boy so I think I'll give them a miss.
@Red620Ti @KelticDevil What's the 420 thing? I've had my GT since I got an original Xbox, so about 10 - 11 years, might be a bit longer (my memory is hazy due to old age)
@sorethumbed I've just beaten the mad dragon with my co op buddy. I know I'm getting on as I've killed 3 lords of cinder and had their ashes. That dancer and the giant are interesting enemies.
Another exceptional opinion piece Ken! I visit the site every day and its great to read about all the up coming games. Also the forums deserve a bit of love as I really enjoy communicating with you guys and the pX members and recently the Dark Souls one has been a hive of info!
I'll be playing a bit more Rise of the Tomb Raider, currently sitting on about 50% complete. Certainly takes a while getting all the caves, boxes, coins etc. May get a bit of time on Dark Soils 3 too.

@jongred if you want to add me mine is Crippy D although I'm UK based so gaming with you might be a bit difficult.

@Red620Ti @EternalDragonX @jongred Me too guys, me too 😢
Re: So Long, And Thanks for All the Clicks
@stylon X-COM is brutal, I've yet to finish a game even on easy.
Re: So Long, And Thanks for All the Clicks
I'll be playing some Dark Souls 3 on NG.
Re: So Long, And Thanks for All the Clicks
@RustyBullet @Captain_Chao5 I'm the same, I keep checking the forums too. I haven't found anywhere I like and I miss this great place!

Re: Deals With Gold: Forza Comes Into Focus During E3 Week
@Falco1863 it is cheap. Man, I hate being undecided! I'm weak, I've bought Battlefield and Horizon 2. More games than I can possibly hope to play, ever!!
Re: Deals With Gold: Forza Comes Into Focus During E3 Week
@SpecialJay thanks for the advice, I'll steer clear.
Re: Deals With Gold: Forza Comes Into Focus During E3 Week
Is Battlefield 4 worth it for the single player? I will not be going mp at all.
Re: E3 2016: Xbox One S Has No Kinect Port, But Don't Worry
This would also be a cheap way to get a 4K Blu ray drive as a stand alone player is currently around the £400 mark.
Re: E3 2016: Microsoft Conference Day Contest!
Really looking forward to what Microsoft have to say on the future of the Xbox and curious as to what direction they will be taking it.

Re: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 107
I hope to play some Dark Souls 3 to try and beat the Nameless King so I can start my NG run and get a different ending.
Re: Brand New: Issue 11 - Eighteen New Games and a Contest
XCOM 2 and Wonderboy look great and also Injustice looks good although I'm not a fighting game fan, I love me some Superheroes!

Re: XCOM 2 Announced for September Launch on Xbox One
Sign me up for this bad boy! I'm enjoying my game on XCOM but it is very hard, I've yet to complete a game yet!

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 106
Back from holiday and back on Dark Souls 3. Still need to beat the Nameless King though.
Re: Out This Week: Dead Island: Definitive Collection, Among the Sleep, Dangerous Golf
There are quite a few on there that look interesting, I will see how reviews and my finances are.
Re: Competition: Win DOOM on Xbox One!
Good luck all, I would love a bit of DOOM!

@DRL Thanks Dave, we are! Only been here a night and we've shown our kids where we lived in Essex (county, south east England if your UK geography isn't up there). Off to see an old friend today and Wednesday we're off to LEGOLAND!!!
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 105
@A_BabyRed_Yoshi Sorry to let the team down, dude. You playing 3 or 1?
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 105
Nothing for me as I've taken my lovely family off on holiday.
Re: Review: DOOM (Xbox One)
@SuperKMx Great review, I will be picking this up when I've got through more of my backlog! It looks like an amazing game and right up my alley.

Re: Games With Gold Turns 3: June's Games Confirmed
I have The Crew and Xcom on disc so I'll get both of them. TBH I'm not interested in Goat Simulator or Super Meat Boy so I think I'll give them a miss.
Re: Deals With Gold: Mammoth List of Discounts Now Live
Picked up the Dark Souls DLC as at 130 hours, I've not spent enough time in the DS world
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 104
Playing Dark Souls 3 again. Trying to finish my first play through. May sneak a bit of Halo in too.
Re: Microsoft Announce Dormant Gamertags to Be Recycled

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 103
@sorethumbed I'll take this to the thread
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 103
@sorethumbed I've just beaten the mad dragon with my co op buddy. I know I'm getting on as I've killed 3 lords of cinder and had their ashes. That dancer and the giant are interesting enemies.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 103
More Dark Souls 3 for me, only got the end boss to go (I think).
Re: Competition: Win Coffin Dodgers for Xbox One!
I won't be entering as I won a copy from you lovely lot the other day on Twitter but good luck to those that do
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 102
Played some Dark Souls 3 last night, will be playing Rise of the Tomb Raider and watching Captain America Civil War tonight!

Re: Friday the 13th: The Game Alpha Footage Revealed
@KelticDevil @A_BabyRed_Yoshi Man, that sucks! As you say Keltic, no story, no money! MP only games aren't for me.
Re: Friday the 13th: The Game Alpha Footage Revealed
I like the look of this, if it is similar to Alien (essentially hide and seek) I think I would buy that. Looks very brutal.
