Happy New year @FraserG and the rest of the PX staff. Always had a blast here and I love the community this site has fostered after it's reboot.

Best wishes for everyone 🧡

I'd hate to give it a letter but I would say it has been "Satisfactory" on both sides.

Xbox has been my main machine for a while now. I play most of my games there unless it's ps exclusive and even then I haven't felt terribly compelled to get a PS5 yet as I can probably wait for a price drop before I even have time to get around to any of the PS5 exclusives. A Metal Gear Solid game would change that for me though.

Generally, game pass has been great. But that started before the Series' came out. Most games I have played on GP. I've played through multiple Yakuza games, a lot of our game club choices and found a few other surprises over the last couple years. Highly worth it.

Series X + GPU has been so reasonably priced compared to the competition through a combination of a half price Series X (other half paid for by Rewards points) and 3 years of GPU for £130 (using the Gold>Ultimate Conversion trick which I've used twice now)

Having said that, if more information was available about the new ps plus at the time and I had tons of money (which I didn't and still don't), I would have bought years of PS Now to get the half price premium tier for the foreseeable future. But without a PS5 and without a mountain of spare cash available, I'm not terribly sad that I have missed out just yet.

Cheers and happy Christmas to fellow users and all the staff. Stay well. It can be a difficult time for all.

@themightyant sounds more like this tier would be YouTube levels of ads. At least an ad before but while not mentioned, I wonder if ads would interrupt the game

While I've always supported the notion of removing the ad tiles from the home screen, the nightmare scenario I just envisioned made me so physically sick that I'm almost grateful that it's only ad tiles for now 😂

@FraserG best band ever imo! 😃

Am I the only one who read the tag line to the tune of Queens Another one Bites the dust?

And another batch joins, another batch joins, another batch joins the list!

I picked up both Trials HD DLC for half price. They haven't been on sale as long as I've had an xbox

It's just so expensive really. Hopefully mayflash make a budget adapter at some point. I have their magic S pro which works on ps4 and switch and only cost £20

Sonic frontiers also £28 in Asda if your local store has a copy! (Bought on Saturday)

I found it for £28 in Asda while I was doing the big shop. Snapped it up!

Frontiers is also £34.99 physical at Amazon and Argos

Trade in price at CEX at the moment is £29 cash and £33 voucher...

🧡 wicked game! I enjoyed it a fair amount

They should put Jim Cornette on the cover

Maybe it's different over in the States but in the UK, energy bills have shot through the roof due to various reasons and that was the even before Russia started playing silly buggers with their pipeline which has only exacerbated the issue.

I don't think I'd use an option like this but I thought I would provide some context to the reasons why MS may be investigating it.

Sniper Elite 4 was absolutely wicked. Glad I played it before it left GP

Ooo I didn't know you gave Immortality a 10.

The other day, my partner asked me what rating I'd give Immortality considering she watched me play it.

She seemed surprised when I told her that I'd give it a solid 9. I explained that it did what it set it out to do. Gameplay wise, it had modest ambition that was excellently achieved.

It was unique in its game mechanic. The films were mostly entertaining especially as they ramped up to their finales and the secret 4th story was intriguing.

Collecting all the clips was fun and my favourite part of the game

@FraserG yep absolutely brilliant idea. Even if some of the well educated predictions turn out to be inaccurate, at least it gives a bit more time than the usual two weeks to play a game we intended to anyway (just last minute as usual 😅)

Will definitely be checking out these articles in future!

I'm currently sprinting through Sniper Elite 4 as it leaves soon 😅

That's even more confusing because neither one of them are the "Full Shut Down Option"

You should literally just be able to long press the home button at any time and be able to choose:

"Full Shutdown"
"Energy Saver"
"Sleep/Standby"

First person puzzler? I'm there!

Shame about the combat sections, I'll see how I like it if I get time to download it and have a go

Do you have to do anything in particular to "upload a screenshot to Xbox Live"?

I know it says "uploaded to Xbox network" when you take a screenshot but I always just assumed this was cloud storage so you could access it elsewhere

I might be screwed if they find my Yakuza Kiwami 2 screenshots 😂

(Embedded URLs due to NSFW depictions of implied sodomy - also from the final fight in Kiwami 2 so could be spoilers...)

I saw Golf Peaks on sale, that's a wicked game. Highly recommend if you like tough-ish puzzlers

Damn, wish I wasn't broke AF otherwise I'd be up to my eyeballs in 2tbs

@OrfeasDourvas 😂

I always consider length. I only play a game if I know I have enough free time to finish it. The game might run over or I might give it up after a couple hours if I don't gel with it. But I won't start a game these days if I don't have the time to finish it.

I think Ive been watching too many wrestling clips on YouTube because I read the headline in The Rock's voice!

@EVIL-C lol it looks amazing but I wouldn't have anything to play it with, I don't know how much I could get into PSO and the GameCubes online never really took off here in the UK

I wish I owned the ultimate one....

"But be careful, you might get sick!"

Lol does this mean in game or in real life. It would definitely make me sick if it was in VR 😆

🧡😃 wooop wooop

Hopefully this one is a good month 🤞

@Banjo- Edith Finch is leaving this month, I thought I'd give you a tag because you said you wanted to play it

If the current UI is improved, my preference would be for the ability to pin more stuff to the home screen, more groups, more apps per group and more apps in a group to be displayed when pinned to the home screen. Just give us full control of our UI so we can make it as messy, tidy, sleek or as convoluted as we want.

I also wouldn't mind the option for custom UIs too, why not have the current, have blades, have the NXE all as options? That in addition to the above requested customisation options would give limitless potential.

Also, the article linked was quite an interesting read! It's funny how 500gb storage was a worry back then and we haven't progressed vastly in the amount of storage space (even if the speed has improved!) and the same worries are still voiced to this day

Hopefully they still allow the two user sharing at no additional cost

@themightyant no worries, cheers 👍👍

Woooooooop 😀🧡

(Honestly, I'm not a total maniac!)

GOD OF WARNING 😂

Ahhh man. The old blockbuster building near where I grew up has literally only just been knocked down and turned into flats!

They doing the fusion dance

I love the new logo

@K1LLEGAL I think it's mainly because it ties so closely into 5 but also because I really liked the Tanemura character they ditched for 5.

5s my favourite because I loved playing as Haruka 😅, the rhythm games were really fun and I couldn't stop singing So Much More for weeks after I finished it!

@K1LLEGAL my ranking from best to worse is:

5, 0, 4, LAD, 2+3 tied, 6, 1

Haven't played judgement 1+2, Dead Souls or Fist of the North Star yet but I have them lined up. Just having a bit of a break from the series!

I remember seeing screenshots for a version of Halo for the original DS in a magazine, probably about 15-20 years ago. I guess it never came out!

Wooooop 😀🧡

And I got quoted along with @themightyant this time! 🤩

_{(I'll have to be more careful with my spelling and grammar in future)}

@themightyant 🤣 I just want to wield the power of the Mjolnir Series X

But yeah, can't see the handle if it's on the back!

Ahhhh it's a shame the handle is on the back of it, would have been much better on the left side (top if the device is horizontal)

I played it through with a friend online last night. Had a great time despite a few bugs that meant we had to replay a few levels. Really enjoyed it though!

@AdamCorela @lookupmore @swedetrap

Hi peeps, just wanted to let you know that I ordered the Triple XL in the end and it arrived today.

It fits well I think, not sure how long it will last because it might shrink in the wash but it's comfortably loose straight out of the parcel!

Thanks again for your input! Much appreciated!

I got out the old guitar hero for the Wii the other day. Decided to pick up some of the games I didn't have from CEX as well. Been having a blast.

I'm hoping for a port/BC/revival. Would love some classic guitar hero to come back!

@AdamCorela cheers for the heads up, may go for the size up then! Thanks!
