@HonestHick honestly I played of at launch on an One X and I had zero issues. Then when it still wasn't hit with its improvement patches, I played it on Series x and again no major issues. OK the police thing was annoying but it wasn't game breaking for me at least.
I remember beating Grandia 2 on ps2, must have been about 20 years ago. Poss 22 years. Don't remember much else except I enjoyed it. Will prob pick this up. Rose tinted glasses?
Have a good fee. Even XIII(which isn't as bad now as when it first released, quite enjoyed it actually). Got Gears, Mafia 1+2, Borderlands. Couple of others that I can't remember atm.
Well I'm working my way through the remaster of XIII. It's not amazing but it's hitting the right nostalgia feels for 23 year old me (I'm 44 now). Enjoying it. I'll prob beat that over weekend. If I have time I'll go into either Yakuza Judgment or I might give Elden Ring a go.
@Dimey I think most Xbox are digital gamers. Whilst Game have always been PS centric, I used to buy physical from them 360/Xbone. But since gamesharing took off for me, I've been purely digital.
For me its to try and get some more gaming in. So in last year and half, my marriage broke down, ended up having to get a new house for my daughter and I, and arranging custody agreements. Work is always a drag but things are looking up. I've got a new GF, who's not a gamer but is cool with it and my daughter is into her 3 semester of high school. So I would like to get a bit more in. Really in the last half year I've only really played Lies of Pi
I work over the festive period, and I've started a new relationship so that's a time stealer too. I'll try and get some Evil West in and thinking about Pillars of Eternity
I think I'm going to just cash out now. I've done well out of MS rewards but it's not getting to be a chore for me. I'm missing more and more days and tbh I'm struggling to care now. Yeah I think I might be done. 74k points in bank. 3 controllers for free, number of free gamepass, numerous 3 games. I think I'm done
Had 140k, and redeemed them over time for couple controllers. Got Artic camo, OPI and had to save for Starfield. I'm back to 72k atm but I've fallen away from point grabbing a bit. I'll maybe cash these in for Baldurs gate
I wasn't impressed at all with Starfield, just my opinion. It's well made and you can see the devs put a lot of time into it but I personally felt it was Fallout 3 in Space.
Brilliant game. I'm on Laxia on chapter 11 atm. Been struggling. I know I'll beat her eventually but I've been stuck for about 2 weeks now 🙃. First part I absolutely demolish her, when she gets rid of armour. I usually get mauled.
Fallout 3, the sense of isolation and wonder as you leave the vault for first time. Dragon Age 1, a real rpg on the consoles! And Lost Odyssey such a moving game
@Lavalera the IP owners want to make fast cash and the studios who buy them know there is a dedicated fan base who'll buy anything with their favourite IP on it. Be it Star Wars/Trek/LOTR or Walking Dead
Loved The Walking Dead, finished the main series, got mostly through Fear, haven't really bothered with the Negan series and despite my favourite character being Daryl, I haven't seen any of his new series. Maybe it's Walking Dead fatigue for me? Also I mostly gave up on Fear after my favourite character died.
Played this for a bit, first couple chapters maybe, then fell away from it. Really wanted to get into it though. I was on PC when it had its indie launch and it looked brilliant
Didn't have it this morning, went out, ran a few errands came back couple hours later and the new dash was there. 2 minds atm, it is cleaner but the tiles are smaller and my eyesight isn't great
I've "bought" 3 controllers using reward points since last November! UK based and the points are there to be made. Got the blue camo controller, the OPIE one and the Starfield one. All cost me £0.
Not sure about everyone else but I'm really struggling to get into games atm. Nothing seems to be grabbing my attention, got some personal things going on atm too. Just gaming doesn't seem to be doing it for me atm
I've looked at Aidios a few times and never jumped, so this interests me. Not sure about the Vale. Have seen it before but it's a hard sale. Props to dev for trying to innovate though
I remember this coming out and, at the time, I wasn't a big MP gamer. I was also living above my place of work(I run pubs) so the Internet wasn't great at that time. Still I didn't know it was made by insomniac.
@UltimateOtaku91 what service is this you use? Im thinking about giving one a go. I'm UK based. Used to use Lovefilm as a game rental until Amazon bought them over and stopped the rental.
It's a definite 8. Played it purely for fun as my wife had done the 1000 on it before I played it. The bit where your at the rock gig trying to defend the stage for your friend from the darkness, whilst he pumps out heavy metal and the lights is awesome. I do think the story isn't the best now, but it's good. Yeah an 8
No. I'm playing Fallout 4 atm. Will prob give this a look when it goes to EA Play. No games have been a day 1 purchase for me for a long time. Not sure why? My gaming time has become less and less recently. Heck I haven't even bought a game since January.

Re: Bethesda Releasing New Fallout Anthology Including 7 'Incredible' Games
@JoakimZ yes 100%. Loved them years ago. Don't think I ever beat fallout 2. When you got the car in that was a game breaker

Re: Some Xbox Fans Aren't Happy About 'Intrusive' Call Of Duty: MW3 Ads

Re: Talking Point: Did Your Xbox 360 Ever Get The 'Red Ring Of Death'?
Got it in 2009 I think, could have been 2010. To be fair to MS they paid for everything, pick up, return and it was a new console I got back
Re: Ready For Launch! Starfield Is Now Available On Xbox Game Pass

Re: Poll: How Many Of 2023's Xbox Games With Gold Have You Played So Far?
Really enjoyed Lamentum, and I already owned Truberbrook so I skipped that one. So I've played 1 Lamentum but would have been 2 if I didn't own Brook
