Still rocking my series x that I bought during LOCKDOWN, think xmas 20 or possibly 21 I got it. At least 5 years old it is and no issues. Like an above poster said, if it breaks, im done I think
After reading about Quantum Break on here, decided to give it another bash. Never did beat it first time around. Loving it. Also installed Thurmatuge as ive had my eye on that for a while, so when it landed on gamepass thought I wpuld give it a go
Never did beat this, and will prob have to restart it to remember what is going on! I think I got to some sort of swimming pool level?? Remember really enjoying it but like loads of games I put it down and never go bsck. Reminds me I need to beat Max Payne 3 again and Alan Wake 2.....and back onto Control.
None. Always waited. Ive had consoles from the Vectrex days. Vectrex, NES, Master System, Mega Drive, Amstrad 464 with the green screen monitor, amiga 600, SNES, PS1, PS2, PS3, X360, Xbone, Xbone X, and now series x. And a seldom used ps4 that my daughter has as a YouTube machine
When my daughter was young she loved disney Infinity 3.0. Had loads of toys for it etc. But the older she got, the less it got used. Now its just sitting in a drawer. Chat pad was another thing that slowly got put away. Had the x360 one and used that loads. But got one for the X and barely used it. Elite v1 controller is just gathering dust as is my v2. Using a Razer wolverine v2 now
@Fiendish-Beaver I think if the x360 games are part of the back compat programme already, then yes it does straight from disc. But if not then no you need a physical 360 to play
Ive had xbox since the 360, and consoles since NES but if the next xbox is just a pc in a box then ill pass. Ive had pcs before and cant be arsed with the fiddling around to get things working. Still this Samson looks interesting
Prob 500 to 600 quid for me, or wait till the first round of reductions comes along. Saying that the series x is still hovering around the 400-500 range and ive had mine since Xmas 2021!
I stacked up 3 years before I moved into my new house. Ill be 3 years in here this summer. Tbh I dont think ill renew unless I can find a way to stack for cheap. Im just not playing as much as I used to
He has always struck me as someone who is very passionate about games and sometimes his passion over eggs the pudding and the tech cant deliver. Plus I sent Lionhead studios a big box copy of Populus from back in the day for him to sign, and he did it! Was for my friend's 30th birthday
Dark Souls remaster Wwe 2k25 -undertaker edition Vertigo Bound By Flame Who Wants To Be A millionaire Alan Wake 2 Sherlock holmes chapter 1 Last Oricu Banishers(not long before it went to GP) Alone in The Dark Wrestle Quest Dead Rising 4 Regalia Hotline Miami Hotline Miami 2 Inspector Waffles Sherlock Holmes the awakened Sinking City remaster Robocop
And ive beaten exactly 1 of them, Robocop!
My backlog is mental and I struggle to get time to play these days
Prob not. The Elite 1 i had was all right but the grips started to come away. Then I upped to the v2, and the first v2 I had the lb button stopped working, sent to back to MS, got a new one. And the exact same thing happened. I find Razer products to be better quality now, especially for premium price
Ultimate subbed till july 26, been eith gamepass since it launched in 2017 and its been fantastic value. I'll see how it goes next year. I dont game as much now as I used too. This might be my last machine. 45 now, is it time to put the toys away?
Work weekends so ill get my gaming in Mon night. Banishers:Ghosts of New Eden is my next and maybe some alone in the Dark. Just spanked 4 days of game play into Baldurs Gate 1 remaster so im taking a break from BG2 for a bit of a palate cleanser
@cburg only played the first level. It's decent. Your basically a unstoppable tank who's gunning down perps to Basil Pouradouris soundtracks. I enjoyed it. But I loved Robocop when it first came out in the 80s.
2008 xbox 360. I was 28 and was kinda out of gaming at that time. Was working for Wetherspoons as a manager. Went over to my friends who had a 360 and watched him playing Assassins Creed, was blown away. Went out and bought a 360 with my first GM wage. Never looked back. Love xbox.
Will check this out, prob. Although I couldn't beat the final puppet in the game for the true ending. Had to resort to the less good ending to see the credits and Easter egg at the end.
A review is that person opinion, that's all. You can disagree and that's ok. I barely play new games but what I've enjoyed most this year has been Shadow Of The Tomb Raider, Steel Rising and Resident Evil 4:Remake
@MaccaMUFC completely agree. I was playing on normal, restarted and rinsed the mutant first time again. You can find a better gun if you look around before the bunker
I'm at first big town and for me it's, a total meh atm. Some enemies are bullet sponges, controls seem stuck in 00s PC land, voices are wooden(isn't the main guy V from cyberpunk?). It's a def 5 or 6/10
I was a ps2 guy but my friend had an Xbox. Remember enjoying a few games on it such as wwe games, some shooter set in World of Darkness and couple others. Didn't get on Xbox till 2008 when I got promoted to a GM in my trade, picked up a 360 eith my first enhanced wages!

Re: Talking Point: What Have You Picked Up In The Xbox Spring Sale 2025?
@Jenkinss do you mean Deliver Us The Moon? To The Moon is the indie stalwart from 2013. Don't think that's on Xbox, although could be wrong

Dead Rising 4 and Wrestlequest
